After nearly a week, using macros is such a big help to me. I’d forgotten how much sense it makes. For me, it helps me use WW points more efficiently. I’ll be home from a road trip, well two with one day at home, on Saturday night. Doing my best, but staying where food is not entirely in my control—and meals on the road…

After nearly a week, using macros is such a big help to me. I’d forgotten how much sense it makes. I’ll be home from a road trip, well two with one day at home, on Saturday night. Doing my best, but staying where food is not entirely in my control—and meals on the road isn’t helpful. After I weigh on Sunday, I’ll decide if…

Oh, PS — my name is Judi and I live outside of Baltimore, MD.

Hello again! Do nice to be here; thanks for the welcome! Today I recalculated my macros. Monitoring them is the most helpful too I’ve learned from MFP. Here are my calculations: Basil Metabolic Rate (BMR): 996.5 Total Daily Energy Expenditure (TDEE): 1195.8 Daily calories deficit: 10-25% of TDEE—I’m not doing this right…

Hi MFPers, Posting here since this group seems current. I’ve been away from MFP for a long time, currently on WW, but not finding much support. Many of my old MFP friends are now inactive, so I’m looking for active members for mutual support. Please join me!

I’ve been away from MFP for a long time, currently on WW, but not finding much support there. Especially, I’m looking for motivation to move! I sit all day and I know that if I find the right people, I’ll be encouraged. Many of my old MFP friends are now inactive, so I’m looking for active members for mutual support.…

Just for today 9/13, if this is still active: I’m going to track everything, especially late night nibbles. I’ve been away from MFP for a long time, and most of my friends are now inactive, so I’m looking for active members for mutual support. Please join me!

Thank you both. Yes, Robert, I do self test.

I think you look amazing -- great job. If you're skypeing, then they may not have seen the gradual changes and just need to get used to the new you.

I've been using Now Sports Egg White Protein from my local organics store. I'm highly sensitive to a lot of foods and this is pretty basic.

Welcome back. Me too. (For me, I never got to onederland and I didn't gain as much back but I gained a lot back.) I went into carb hell, just as you describe, I love bread -- but, for me, bread is evil and leads me into all sorts of other carbs. I'm crawling my way out. I appreciate that we are all in this together --…

Thanks, Sharon!

Thanks all, just asked the question again (differently) and found your responses when I came looking for responses. Roche replaced the batteries once and have been singularly unresponsive since. I'll chec around for a new one. I appreciate the tops!

I wish I had known others felt this way; my time was 20 years ago. I was sooooooo scared when men found me attractive. Not just trolls, but solid men who meant nothing more than congratulations and encouragement. I had absolutely no idea what to do with being a physically attractive woman. Hopefully I've gained wisdom and…

Moms have a way of getting over those things. Soon she will realize that it's important to you and to your health (and your children's health). She may still feel embarassed, but she'll also stop talking about it (at least to you). I ask about ingredients all the time because of food allergies and sensitivities. It's my…

You look great in all of the, but #2 is very flattering and sophisticated!

I work at a place where there is constantly free food -- not just snacks (although there is a lot of that) but free appetisers, free meals -- I now just ignore the emails. Seldom are they having food that I want to eat without editing it.

Thanks for your great responses!

Reina, You've lost 23# lady, that's at least 2 clothing sizes!! Put that top in the yard sale bag and but something that fits. Big NSV to you!! Awesome!

In the past I found it very tinny tasting and didn't like it much. But it does help cleanse heavy metal out of the system, which for me is reason enough to eat it. I've come to accept it and appreciate it for its redeeming qualities.

As the doctor what s/he looked at in the blood tests. See if they checked for T3 and T4. If not, get that checked. After I finally got tested beyond the basics, and got additional meds for the T3 abnormality, I have started to lose weight. Not at an astonishing rate, but I am both older and less active than you are. If you…

My Toyota RAV-4 has optional 3rd row seating. I'm kind of meeh on the car though.

Other people's opinions are...theirs.

Mine is set at 15% or 45 g per day. Mostly I'm well under after counting calories expended.

I often carry nibbles in my purse or bag when going into places like this. Usually it's been nuts or carrot pieces -- but now that I'm supposed to be limiting plant protein for a couple of months I may have to break out the dehydrator and make more jerky. I also have a fair number of allergies and food sensitivities, so…

Becky Ann, I understand completely. I still have numbers too high for the ADA standard as currently written. I've changed my primary physician to a believer in paleo/primal and am waiting for some results on an in-depth blood analysis. She isn't overly obsessed with FBG in the 120-130 range for now (that used to be a shoot…

Hard to believe they are still marketing those things. I had one when i was a teenager -- They are pointless, useless and a waste of time and money.
