  • Great ideas, never heard of shiritaki! This week I have used tzatziki instead of mayo or dressing, adds a lot of flavor for low carb/fat

  • You cant wait to "feel" like working out, you just need to start moving, I am frequently really slow the first 5 or 10 minutes but then my energy kicks in.

  • Based on your feedback I think I need to make little changes in my morning and evening routines, like 15 min on the exercise bike in the evening if the TV is on. I am a bit slow in the morning due to sleep med hangovers, maybe 10 min of yoga or a short walk a few days a week would help. Thanks again for your inspiration!

  • Thanks all! I have been exploring the WHY of eating for a while so mostly in tuned to that. I have horrible insomnia that I know if I solve that it will help immensly as I eat a little to relax me back to sleep. Noom required me to eat 1350 calories, I only weighed 108 to start (I am very petite) and my happy weight is 95…

  • I have been in daily pain for a while but trying harder to get more active as I was on the fatigue spiral.

I have also been taking probiotics and apple fiber which I have never done and trying to…

  • I tend to like warm drinks in the winter. I use a little lemon juice and monk fruit sweetener or fresh mint leaves. And then there are the Costco cases of selzer. Sometimes I put my selzer in a wine glass and add a wedge of orange or cucumber or rasberries. Makes me feel like I am having a cocktail.

  • Add me too. Its tough to lose after 50 but lets share tips on what works and support each other. I tried Noom (in 2021 AND recently) and it didnt work at all. Haven't been this heavy since pregnant decades ago. I am hoping that tracking my macros in MFP will help (high protein, low carb, low fat to start). I love hiking…
