My current irk seems to be trying to see the latest posts of a certain topic, but it won't allow me too.

Is your cholesterol issue hereditary? I didn't read everything completely but diet/exercise can only do so much if it 'runs in the family'. I had a neighbor who had very high cholesterol due to genertics; even his doctor told him he was the fittest unhealthy person he knew. :/

No picture but since the fall weather has arrived, so have thoughts of apples and pumpkins. So I'd take a whole pan of apple crisp smothered in vanilla bean ice cream or a whole loaf of fresh apple bread. Or no calories? Gimme both please. :)

I indulged and bought a salmon fillet last week. My protein amount soared. I'll sometimes just dump a can of tuna on my veggie salad. I love plain baked chicken breast with hummus, along with fresh sliced veggies for a meal. I don't cook much but do try to get enough protein in every day. For the eggs you could use 1 whole…

I am amazed!! You have done such a great job and are an inspiration! As they say.....it's not easy but it's worth it!

My response might sound flippant but I often feel that 'stuck in my life' way. I have 2 dogs and honestly don't know what I'll do without them. They're both 12.5 so I know their time is limited. Dogs are such great lovable companions. They take you out of your own head, keep you occupied, love you unconditionally, etc. But…

Yep, I've heard comments like that as well. :( 'Think happy thoughts. Put a smile on your face and it'll all feel better, hang out with positive people, fake it till you make it'. To comment on the original question: they put my son on Ozempic quite awhile ago and while it was to treat his diabetes, a side affect of it was…

Argh bingeing...that uncontrollable urge to wolf down anything and everything in sight, even if you don't like it all that much. :( I, too, suffer from it. I'm sure therapy would help some people; not sure it would for me. :/ I HAVE to keep trigger foods out of the house. Unfortunately, my most common one is peanut butter…
-
You know what I'd do with those eggs? Mix them in with some sugar, flour, canned pumpkin, baking soda and spices, bake in a couple loaf pans and enjoy. But that's just me. :) An egg fast is one diet I've never heard of. I've tried a lot of different diets in my day. I think the worst one was making my own liquid diet(found…

I noticed that the other day when I was adding sugar to my meals, in my coffee. Breakfast sugar was 4 g. of sugar, then the sugar I added for my mid day coffee was 100 g.
-
Coffee at 4. Then 2 lite toast with 1 T. of peanut butter and a dozen cherry tomatoes.
-
I want to see an update to how people are truly feeling today!! I need some positive reinforcement. :) I'm feeling better than I was on Monday. Yeh, it's only Wednesday but with 2 positive days under my belt, I can gain a forward momentum instead of feeling this huge wall sitting dead ahead of me. I've been walking and…
-
Wow, I'm right there as well. :/ Gained 20# in the past year, lost some, gained some, complete yo-yo trend now. I feel miserable about my lack of control. And someone mentioned peanut butter. Eeks, that has been the worst for me. :( And those calories mount up fast. I have a doctor's appointment Sept. 23rd so I'm hoping I…
-
Truthfully? Not very hopeful or positive. But that could change any minute. :) I keep worrying about the future; we're not getting any younger(I'm 70 and dh is 73), my dogs are both seniors and changing every day. My sister just turned 80 and has lots of issues. I'm stuck in a place mentally and physically that doesn't add…

It's a vicious cycle. You don't feel great emotionally or you feel badly about yourself, you tend to stop all the positive activities in your life. Then the less you do those things, the worse you feel and it gets harder to re-establish them. I've been going through one of those slumps in my own life, very depressed, just…

I must be blind because I still can't find anything. :( But thank you!!!

Happy Friday everyone!!

Inelegant? Only cultivated and elegant women allowed? Wow, I'm so glad I don't live there. :/ I'd never fit in. :)
-
Yes. I cannot keep sweets in the house. If dh wants them, they get hidden by him. I've never been the gal who can eat one serving and be done. :( "It has nothing to do with hunger for me, and I realize it is coping mechanism for emotions, loss, grief, stress etc etc." The above poster hit the nail on the head for me too.…

I read all these wonderful tips and suggestions. They all make so much sense. But how do you get past that mental part? How do you flip that switch in your brain that's telling you you HAVE to eat? You have to fill up that empty part of yourself? You need that rush that food gives you? Did any of you watch The Whale with…

Everybody should have a crystal ball so they could look 40 years into the future and see who they become, as a couple. If I'd only known then...... Red flags huh? Their priorities are as follows: 1. TV 2. Their phone 3. cigarettes 4. diet coke 5. golf 6. the couch

I've missed my daily dose of C&H!! Thank you for still being here!!
-
I started signing up, then it wanted my CC#. How do you get around giving that out? It doesn't have a free version like MFP?
-
On my 2nd cup of coffee, trying to get inspired, and catching up on MFP. So many years.....
-
Lack of newsfeed, do you think they'll change it since so many are clearly not happy? And how do I accept friend requests?? I tried following the FAQ but that wasn't any help. :/
-
It's also when you hit peri-menapause but that probably doesn't apply to you. :) Also when your cute sweet little infants and toddlers turn into those 'mom doesn't know a GD thing' and 'but all my friends can do it!' but then maybe that doesn't apply to you either. It's also the time you wish you hadn't thrown out your b o…

A very recent and memorable read was Invisible Child by Andrea Elliott.

Linwood Barclay is good! I just finished a book my sister loaned me, 'Dewey', the library cat. Cute but not my usual kinda book. I started a Lisa Gardner book, 'The Next Accident'.
-
It was a gorgeous day outside and it hasn't rained for at least 36 hours.
-
Wondering what the hell-0 has happened here in the past several years. I can't find anyone or anything that feels familiar. Is Slimgirl gone?
