Peanut Butter Coconut Chips TJ's Cornichon (super sour)

I'm sorry you have Meniere's - I do not, my sister does. She eats no processed foods or added salt and cannot tolerate any caffeine (cokes, coffee, tea, chocolate). Like you, she cannot skip meals and keeps salt-free crackers in her purse. She gets an attack (vertigo) if she gets too dehydrated or hot (which is hard, as…

Well, as a menopausal woman, I can tell you I do not tolerate dairy based protein powders - dairy & all dairy based portein powders gives me hot flashes. My husband, who only has menopause vicariously does not have hot flashes with anything.

I've added more fat and foods high in fiber, really helps. For instance my breakfast smoothie contains flax meal - high in fiber & good fat Lunch will be something like beans (high in fiber) and I'll drizzle a tablespoon of olive oil over them Dinner might be an omelete with salad (olive oil)

For some reason, wine makes me hungry, also lowers inhibitions - I was just dinking around, not losing weight. About a week ago I stopped wine altogether (I don't drink beer or alcohol). Not only am I not as hungry, I feel more in control when I actually am and the weight is starting to come off. YAY As others have…

I'm 5'8" and need to lose 20-25 lbs, rate ~ pound a week. Focusing on fitness and healthy eating. Need a lifestyle I can live with. Feel free to add me as a friend y'all

I am nearly always vegetarian (raised vegetarian), every once in a while I have seafood, but 95% of the time - vegetarian. I find dairy makes me ache, (cheese not so much) so I don't eat milk, cream, yogurt etc. I eat a lot of beans, rice, vegetables - some eggs and fruit for dessert.

Wish I had a whole water filter system for the house - BECAUSE Our water is heavily mineralized and I'm tired of descaling sinks, toilets, faucets - and because our water tastes nasty. Its not a "medical" thing, its a convenience/taste thing.

I didn't notice any change in measurements until I increased Bar Method to 4x/week REALLY kept calories at MFP reccomendations (ate all exercise calories - so food is often 1700+ I'm 5'8".) You may not be eating enough? Do the thing that increases your muscle mass.

The biggest thing that helped me was stopping dairy - the hot flashes stopped.

Edamame 1 bag ~10 oz Thinly sliced shallot sautéed until golden brown in 1T Olive Oil Season with salt & pepper (smoked salt if available, but take it easy on this) Mix together.

Hi Chris, I was on prednisone for many years (autoimmune disease) and I empathize with what you're going through. Prednisone is notorious for causing weight gain! It makes you HUNGRY 24/7 and it makes you retain fluid. I tried losing weight on pred, didn't happen, so I concentrated on not gaining any more weight (I packed…

I'm "lucky"? I have a medical condition that requires me to ingest 3-5 grams of salt/day. On the other hand, my sister has a condition that demands less than 1g/day. Point? We're all different.

Small Boned/Frame 125-130 lbs. :flowerforyou: :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

I've had better results with the actual class than the DVD's. The instructors and other class participants seem to add to the intensity. I didn't lose weight, but I did lose inches. Also, I loved my Bar Body. People asked me if I was a dancer. I'm not. When I lifted weights, I was quite bulky (I'm 5'8"). BTW. If you have a…

Goal: 14% (or so) Body Fat I'm 5'8" and weigh 142. My body fat percentage is 28%. I have a very small frame. I prefer to watch my measurements and most importantly body fat percentage. I'm a competitive athlete and felt really good at 14% body fat, so for me right now, I am overweight. I feel sluggish and it's difficult…
