Just checking in... Nov sw: 244 Current: 241 But up to 245 today, after all the food of Thanksgiving. And a bit of constipation (it happens) But been 241 for a week so I'm 3# away from my goal for this month. I'll have to accept whatever happens and do better next month

@sharon81 that's good advice and I'm doing just that. Logging it all and knowing I will have to log everyday as a routine for the rest of my life bc I NEED to do that. Thanks fur sharing. @Shaggy_Dominic thank you. I'm hopeful by hearing others have done it! @themommie thank you for commenting. It's reasonable to gain some…

Prunes are SO good! Yummm! But I find that I have to eat a lot to get the 30g that i need in a day. And they have too much sugar for me. * I know to eat a variety of fiber filled foods but it is hard to get 30g in a day with out a supplement of some sort.

I’ve been using premier protein shakes. I buy the pre-made ones for now because I’m nervous to spend money on the powder if I don’t like it. They are 30grams of protein and 160 calories regardless of flavor. I started with a variety pack so I could taste the different kinds. Very helpful sometimes for breakfast on the go…

@kristinecraig5 that's a good alternative! I love chocolate! My one real weakness... I'm working on finding what works for me. I'm trying to find high fiber, high protein foods besides beans, I eat plenty of those. Any suggestions?

Hello @deepwoodslady nice to see you here! I can't belive it's Nov already!! Oct SW: 247 Oct EW: 244 -3# Nov SW: 244 Nov goal: 239 Lose 5# by drinking more water and choosing healthier foods.

Hi @kellywinter0513 thanks for your reply. I just got this msg. I will send you a friend invite. I'm still learning the ins and outs of the community sides of this app.

That's fur the warm welcome! @deepwoodslady @ddainiak @ManifestingToday Please feel free to add me as a friend. I'm still learning the ins and outs of the community stuff. I'm 5'3" 44yrs old, loads of medical drama but need to be healthy so my liver can be healthy too. (NAFLD: Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease) SW: 255 CW:…

@Pattymac5000 thank you for your reply. I just found it. I'm still learning the program. I'm sorry to hear about your life changing so dramatically. That can be hard to adjust to. ♥

Thanks. Me too

Hello. Just found the group. Everyone seems to be so nice... will there be a Nov group? Thx

Hello. I too liked to binge eat in the late evening or stressed out. I'm trying to just sit with the stressful emotions and wait for the craving to pass. I have chronic pain and fatigue issues. I've had trouble finding friends on here. Would you like to add me?

Anyone out there? These boards get so quiet. How do you find friends?

Anyone active in here anymore? I'm looking for some disabled pals to get healthier with. Add me as a friend! I have a tethered spinal cord, fatigue, chronic pain and much more. I log my foods and try for some kind of daily movement.

@Kim125lb I don't know if anyone answered your question but you are right. Adding discussion is like posting. But there is a Facebook like feature for you and your "friends" to use and you can post there too.

@jellis1388 how did you do? I understand the turmoil you must have went through. I have celiac disease and must eat gluten free but watching my family eat amazing locally made donuts is soo hard! But for me, I know better and how sick I'd get. For you, I don't know. I'd think a little bit wouldn't hurt but that's your…

@teninten can I add you as a friend? Thanks!

@Cathy_54321 what games? That sounds interesting. Can I add you as a friend?

Thank you for commenting. I just found this post. Still learning the ins and outs of this site. Making a goal to interact is a great way to be involved! I might try that!

Hi @23Bougie AND OTHER commenters. I'm also female and very married, 22yrs! Also have spinal problems and debilitating pain (spinal tumor, tethered cord syndrome). I need to build core strength and muscles in my legs. I, too, am new to the community aspect of this app. Last time I used this program it was called,…

Wow! That's wonderful! Good on you!! Just this year. I have come to terms that I must put myself first and take care of myself. I have some medical issues to deal with, mainly elevated liver enzymes but I also have neurological conditions that having extra weight has impacted. Did you use my fitness pal for the whole time?…

Hi, I'm in the same boat. I've come to realize how important it is that I take care of myself otherwise I won't be able to keep doing the things I love. Like volunteering. I've just been here a week now. Still learning. I enjoy swimming for physical activity. How about you? Also, I'm trying to focus on protein so that I'm…

This is a really good question and I enjoyed the comments because I had the same wondering too

I just signed up for this app! Looking for a community to be part of on this journey!
