Rebecca…your favorite lurker here ( I took Debbi's advice on Dawgs). I noticed you use Atkins shakes, have you tried Atkins Plus or Atkins Strong? DH has trouble keeping up with protein since Covid (lost taste) and I want to increase protein and calcium cheaper on Amazon and they are hard to find. Anyway we both like them.…

But it's not a chat room, like the younguns' are used to. Just like the newsfeed only impacted people who wanted MFP to be social media. Many people are like me, use it for tracking. One post wonders try it for a second. it's too much work and leave. There are many threads that are active and have continued for years,…

I think it's a sign of the times. Most people use other types of social media, not old fasioned forums. I see this happening on other sites that I used in the past like tripadvisor and cruisecritic. Used to be full of interaction but now dead. It is not the fault of MFP or the boards, it's just the way things are.

Hi You are on a forum of users for motivation and support….not for the website support. Down at the bottom of categories is Tech support and questions, try that and also Contact us. I had a problem once and although it was a canned response (so sorry we'll fix it) they did fix it.

I feel your pain!!! Just did a partially torn LCL, at 75 have been in the best condition of my life. Want to avoid surgery so stuck doing very little for a month. My maintenence is 1400 (old and short) before exercise so sticking with that. As far as exercise any lower body (including walking right now) is out but I am…

Now it's a little trash can

You are right in the middle of healthy weight now. You mught want to talk to a professional about your feelings about food. Are your parents aware of how you feel?

Also have you compared your daily photos? Look at day 1 compared to day 11.

The 75 hard is not a weight loss plan but a discipline challenge, you knew that going in right? So do you feel better physically and mentally? That is the purpose of the challenge.

Your friendly lurcker here (again, thank you Debbi for the Dawgs tip). I know I shouldn't chime in Heather and I do believe "just because it's wood doesn't mean it's good) but I would paint a simple cream to match the woodwork. If you go too trendy with a different finish you will get tired of it and it will be even more…

Congrats on having a plan. Not going to mention the Sixers…..

Also realize that in the US "grassfed" doesn't mean that the animal spent it's life out to pasture, it means that at some point in its life it ate grass or grass hay. Like others here I am lucky enough to be able to local source from the farms. Most of our grocery stores are sourcing grassfed beef from Australia

If it makes you happy to super control your food...you do you. Not a good use of my mental energy, I'm old and know how to eat what is good for me and tastes good. I'm also a "cheffy" cook who lives in the boonies where I know the chickens who give me eggs (and chicken), the cow and pig. I eat seasonally going to the…

Debbie I am the Dawgs lurker...thank you, just ordered the fleece clogs. I tend to unsubscibe to most promotion companies so didn't know about the sale.

Didn't mean to horn in since I'm not on this group...but didn't want you to get in yourself in a devastating (and potentially very very expensive) situation.

As someone who lost a dog due to a biting incident ( from law enforcement orders) now is the time to get a muzzle if you are going to walk him in public or confine your walking to your own property. We now have a dog that is formally trained but the breed can be skittish, he doesn't go out in public without a muzzle even…

I am also a dump and pour always from scratch cook. I lost 30 pounds and have kept it off for about two years at age 75. In the beginning I weighed common portions to get an idea of how much a 4oz portion or 1 tsp portion really looked like, but I have never been a must weigh every single item cook...and I gave my…

If you only had one for one day just change the amount in your daily log. I use the meal option onften, but it is a general list of the "meal" often I need to change an amount or item and I do that on my food log.

Exactly what type of IF are you doing? It really doesn't make any difference for weight loss. If this is something that you will do for the rest of your life, then it is every day for the rest of your life. If you find an eating window fits into your lifestyle then good...personally I have never eaten breakfast so before…

Just a lurker answering Carol. I use Temu and have been happy...the password is one you make up just for TEMU, just like the password you have for MFP.

What ever you want...just less of it.

Since you say you use milk for cooking I would use full fat in recipes. Low fat just doesn't reduce the same and skim milk is a hard no for cooking. Many recipes will state that whole milk (or cream if in recipe) should be used for it to turn out best. I do use whole milk (or real cream), full fat cheese etc for cooking.…

I will add to the wonderful advice above....be realistic about your goals. Talk to your doctor and make an end goal that you can live with and be happy. I lost my weight in my early 70s, I looked at what would be maintenance for "a healthy normal" weight and it was not going to happen. After talking to my doctor she agreed…

I lost all my weight and have maintained using the mini goal idea. My mini goals have included exercise (started with 15min three days a week..easy to meet and go over), log as well as I can for one meal, tai chi (one routine) three days a week, stretch, weights, limit wine etc . Each week I evaluate and each month adjust…

Just want to say how much I admire you. Others are still complaining about the newsfeed but you decided that getting healthy by being proactive and being true to yourself is worth the effort. GO YOU!!!

To add...give the non-sugary ceral with fruit to your kids too, try to have them learn to like healthier choices. You really don't want them to have the struggles you face now do you? I agree, nothing wrong with a cereal snack as long as it is not Frosted Flakes or Lucky Charms!

Not for all of us...less clutter

Why don't you "test drive" maintenance at your goal of 130 for a week or two. You will still lose and consider it a diet break. I did this to help decide on a goal weight, turns out I was miserable at my original goal and changed it up. I stayed at goal maintenace calories to lose the last five pounds. This made…

If my husband told me I was too fat he would be my ex.

Did you talk softly to it? Scales are sensitive beings and it might need to get used to you. I know when my ancient beloved scale had to be retired my new scale had a hard time adjusting to it's new home, and yep, like yours it rebelled by adding weight. It will soon settle in. I was upset because I would do the hold a 5…
