Does anyone use protein powder to help with your daily intake? I’m using Vital Protein right now, but my doctor recommended True Nutrition brand. Also if you are using a personal blender which one would you suggest? I m hesitant to spend the money on something that isn’t going to be worth it. Thank you for any…

I’m taking my second shot today. I get full very fast also. It seems now food just doesn’t have the same gratification that it used to either. Now if I could wrap my head around stopping when I’m full. 😂 Although the weekend really messed me up and I don’t want to ever feel like that again. As far as side effects I’ve only…

@cheryls1mx3 Thank you for the encouragement <3 . I must clarify my post though LOL. It looks as if MFP didn't like the way I typed a word describing my rear end. In it's place, they substituted something that could be construed as way more offensive ;) My "kitten " is my own private affair B)

It's still raining and now we have flood warnings. Thankfully we aren't in any bad spots. There are also Mormon crickets invading our town, but they haven't made it out this far. This year has been crazy for Nevada. Man, this afternoon I just had an eating binge craving attack. But I picked strawberries and half of the…

@BeverlyW1108 Excuse my lack of knowledge, but what is the UAC? When it stops raining, hailing or giving us a very, very rare tornado warning. I will take a picture of the garden.

Busy day today. Grocery shopping (I kept to the list) Home Depot for something for the husband, but ended up with a bunch of flowers. Also added a watermelon plant and some broccoli to the garden. Actually cooked the things I planned and ate my serving and was done. I started putting the food away after making plates so…

Hello everyone, i would like to join in if it's ok. I just turned 60 and it seems like losing anything is impossible. I'm battling a lot of physical and medicine issues. The meds they have put me on have made me a nonstop eating machine. I have seen a lot of great ideas to help me on my journey. I think being able to be…

Let’s do 10 days. “We can do 10 days, right?”, says my head to the rest of my body. Body replies, “Here we go again.” LOL🤣 Round 222 HW: 186 lbs. - 1/2022 GW: 150 lbs.

@quiltingjaine @huango I'm up in the Northeastern part of the state. Hence the BFE - Bum F* Egypt 😁 I love, love, love Las Vegas. I don't really gamble and have stopped drinking. But the FOOD! I plan for months deciding where to go.

Greetings to everyone taking on this challenge! Now on to the hard part😥 Hi body, it’s me again. They say if you never give up, you haven’t failed. Well… guess that doesn’t exactly feel true right now. Hoping that doing this challenge with the support of those who are also on this journey will get me motivated to start and…

Hi Ladies! I've been MIA, sorry. Seems like my head has been in a bad space. The weather in NV has been driving my neuropathy crazy, so the rest of my life goes to hell also. I caught up on all the discussions. It helped. My Mom had surgery to "clean" out the vein/artery in her leg. Well with the family curse, she ended…

I'm one of the few people who like the stuff. My Grandmother would bread it with cracker crumbs (Old Fashioned Panko Crumb sub. for an Old Depression Era Lady) Last time I ate it, I cried. Stupid Memories.

Morning Ladies! (Well here anyway :smile: ) Just a quick write for now to give anyone who needs it, a chuckle. The hair has a had another win :# I thought the vacuum bag had enough room in it. NOPE- It exploded! What a mess. Thank goodness I can use the Shark to help me clean it up. The pup, Tucker, looked up as I was…

Happy Birthday Carla! Thank you for all the advice. I started a journal; I will add in my symptoms and what’s going on with my body. And not just what I ate and my personal whining LOL. I started a detox and cleanse to try and reset my system. I also downloaded some walks from Treadmill Trails, so I have something to look…

Well its afternoon here now. Hello everyone! Annie/ How do you get yourself into a routine to exercise? Seems like I just can’t get myself to do anything. Even keeping up with some housekeeping seems overwhelming. The storms have made my neuropathy go crazy. Also congrats on a great loss! Michele/ I know what the spasms…

Hello. I found this group and thought I should introduce myself. I’m 59 years old, with a few months till the big 60. I started my weight loss journey in January 2022 at 186.2. My lowest weight was 155.7, but of course I got lazy, also let my pain get the best of me, and am now 166.2. I’m fighting the neuropathy that I…

HW- 205 SW- 1/2022- 186 Round 214 – Start 164.0 Up to 171.9 I just have to keep fighting, even though my body is so messed up. The neuropathy is making my whole body attack me, especially my attitude with the pain. The weight is not helping me, so I need to set my mindset forward. Looks like I need to pull out my old…

Just trying to get back to moving easier and healthier. I refuse to be in a wheelchair again. HW- 205 SW- 1/2022- 186 Every day is a kindness to myself. 2/11- 164- It's been a hard couple of days. Slacking off wasn't worth it. I would probably be at my goal by now. Husband wanted to go out for breakfast. I had coffee.…

Sending prayers your way. Our faith keeps us going, but friendship and uplifting encouragement makes things a little easier. I wish you healing and much success on your journey.

Hello Liz, I just left Noom. I too learned a lot. I lost 30 pounds and then with camping and the holidays I put 10 of them back. I started here to track and pay a little bit more attention to the make up of my food not just the calories. Starting my journey all over again.

I just left Noom. They have changed their model. No more coaches without paying extra. Just circles which are thread groups. I don't think it is worth it anymore. If you want the principles of Noom, they now have a book that you can buy on Amazon.
