Must be talking about Oklahoma.

Interesting. I took berberine to lower my blood pressure. My cholesterol is high, but my hdl is high enough to keep my hdl/ldl and my hdl/total cholesterol ratios both in the healthy range. I try to keep my hdl high, since I can't figure out a natural way to lower my ldl. If berberine did lower my blood pressure, it was…

Another thought for entertainment. Cooking classes? Here they have one for kids at the community center. Maybe decorated cookies? They have them at the local vo-tech for adults. This semester, bread and some Greek casserole? Look around.

Does it count if MFP makes the hitch or glitch?

Congratulations! You're doing so well! Weight loss is not linear, and no matter how hard you try, you will never lose exactly 2 pounds a week for 26 weeks straight. But you might very well lose 40-60 lbs over 6 months. And you have! Good job!

70 today! Snow tomorrow?

Lol It really is an individual thing. I eat 4 meals a day, and if I ate 200 grams of carbs a day (her top of 50 per meal X 4 meals), I wouldn't be able to roll myself out of bed. But if I ate the minimum she probably intended (20 per meal X 3 meals), I'd probably feel deprived. So I agree with her—know and use what's best…

This morning I had Prep'd steak and eggs in the fridge, but I woke up craving a wake up wrap. I love Wendy's, but I know it's not healthy, so I've been staying away except an occasional baked potato. I just can't stay away from Dunkin. And I don't eat their donuts—even the free ones. They just aren't tempting. I'm addicted…

You're right. Lots of differing opinions. I'm pro nuts. That's mostly where I get any "good" fat I get. The rest is animal fat. I'm also pro berberine. I took it for a month or so for other reasons, but it blunted my appetite. I still ate well, but I seemed to not get hangry— just hungry enough to get up and cook. I don't…

I'm so sick of telemarketers who want to buy my house I'm thinking about disconnecting my phone. Get mail, too, but don't really care. Use it for scrap paper or toss it—at a time of my choosing.

Yes, my weight seems to vary more than other people. I exercised Tuesday, always eat less on days i exercise, more the next day. Felt bad Wednesday so didn't eat as much. Exercised Thursday, then felt really bad, so didn't eat or drink much. 6 pounds lighter today. Feel good. Eating everything in sight. I'll probably gain…

Sausage/peppers, ribs are good in winter,too. Grill on occasional nice days in winter. Get a small inside grill. Good for you! You say you like sauces when you eat out. Have you asked people here for some good low-cal sauces? I can't help—not a saucy gal.

Checking in to see if anyone has any ideas. I'd like to lose in the middle, too. But this is a whole new ballgame for me. I always had a slender waist and big hips and thighs until I had a hysterectomy, so I'm afraid mine may be hormones. I hope we find an answer. Crossed fingers 🤞.

Had breakfast prepared and waiting to be heated, but I was hungry for Dunkin. Egg and cheese wake up wrap. Coffee and milk.

Chicken and provolone quesadilla. Tea. Too lazy to make coffee, but want some. Later?

Dunkin wake up wrap, coffee and milk. Nothing easy enough in the house. Need to plan ahead for tomorrow.

Start at 184.2 Up and down, still the same. March 5 181.2. Not gonna make my spring goal of 170, but I can at least be down a little.

When I want a fancy coffee, I sometimes use a frother. Sometimes I sprinkle a little cinnamon or chocolate on the froth. Sometimes cold coffee, ice and milk in the blender until almost the consistency of a milkshake. So fancy I forget about sugar. Just a thought.

Congrats! That's great!

Me, myself, i

The last of the prepped steak and eggs at 4am. Coffee with my daughter at 10am.

Isn't anything worth having? Muscles! Healthy body!
