Per my sister I should be getting 130g of protein, 50g. Carbs and 65g fat. I can never make the protein, always over the fat and good on carbs. Any opinions or advice.

Trying different breakfasts to see what works. 3 eggs with mushrooms and 2 slices of bacon and coffee. Too much fat but protein was good maybe should have had 2 eggs and 1 slice of bacon.

Lose 20 lbs. one day at a time while building some muscle.

Love your story. You were born in 1954? Very inspiring

I’m just curious what the hardest thing for you is?

I am at my heaviest. I’m also 67. I don’t know my build is I’m 153. Not much muscle tone, having to start wearing looser fitting clothes, sporadic energy….all of this makes me sad. My ideal younger weight was 125, pictures show me as healthy & strong. When I got back down to that weight at 60. People were telling me I…

I’m new too. I’m a little older from the Midwest. I have 3 dogs and a husband. I thought when I retired it would make taking care of myself easier but the scale over the last 3 years is creeping up so, I’m guessing bad habits are developing. I believe in baby steps. What are some baby steps you’re doing? I’m trying to get…

Being older, I always feel like there’s no time like the present. I just started researching and tracking macros yesterday as a matter of fact. Did poorly but each day I will tweak and adjust. I believe in baby steps. Adding good things little by little will squeeze out the bad habits.

Awareness is the beginning of change.

High blood pressure - my BP goes up as my weight goes up. As my weight goes up, back, knee and foot pain increase and I’m now realizing it’s been within the last couple of years, I’m a stress eater. Quarantine pushes people to either exercise more and eat healthier or stress eat. Sadly I’m a stress eater. Patty F

How do you answer a question with a question?

Slept

I am currently reading a book on adrenal reset that says the salt craving is thyroid. The suggestion was to do high protein in the morning and high carbs at night.
