Coffee with flavored creamer. Although after coming off it and seeing the difference in my mood and energy, I know I can never go back to it again.

The ONLY one I like is Trader Joe’s 0% fat. I don’t like the pomegranate or honey flavors though because they are too tart.

Anyone feel free to add me. I am 40, single, no kids. I have over 100lbs to lose but haven’t set a goal weight. I’m just playing it by ear. I am more focused on my health and eating a clean diet to manage chronic pain. I have lost 58lbs already but hope to lose another 50 by January.

I just joined. Feel free to add me.

I highly recommend Yoga for the Rest of Us and Yoga for Arthritis with Peggy Cappy. She has several different videos and they are modified so anyone can do them. A lot of them are sitting in a chair. I can't lay on my back due to bulging disks in my spine and a rotated hip. It also hurts to do floor exercises because of my…

Hi everybody, I have auto-immune disease, fibro, psoriatic arthritis, bulging disks, rolling joints, and scoliosis and several un-diagnosed conditions I'm sure. I do not take any medication and am working the holistic approach. I have been eating an anti-inflammatory diet since January that has made a big difference. I…

I follow a clean eating lifestyle... 90-95% of the time. I make exceptions for family dinners, eating out with friends, etc. And sometimes I am just busy or lazy and slip up. I eat an anti-inflammatory diet because of my auto-immune diseases, chronic pain and fibro. It has made a world of difference in my health and pain…

Mojitos - lime, mint, rum and club soda (easy on the simple syrup) These are easier to get at restaurants than bars because a lot of them don’t have the mint. Always ask how they make them because some places will use sprite instead of club soda. I also do tequila, lime and soda or coconut rum, lime and soda (just use…

Breakfast casseroles. You can prep them the night before and just toss in the oven in the morning. I prefer the ones with eggs, hash browns, meat and cheese but there are also french toast casseroles, I add berries to it to make it a little healthier. You can find different recipes on pinterest. Dinner, throw a couple…

During the week I usually eat greek yogurt with berries and roasted pumpkin seeds (for protein), cinnamon, and honey. Sometimes I add granola to it. Toast (any kind of bread, english muffin, bagel, etc) topped with peanut butter, banana, cinnamon and a drizzle of honey. On the weekends I like to make breakfast sandwiches…

Zuppa Tuscano soup. Super easy and yummy. Just google the recipe. It’s just kale, sausage (I use half Italian & half hot breakfast sausage but either will do) potatoes, onion, and chicken broth. I love kale in soups in lieu of spinach because it doesn’t wilt and get soggy like spinach. I also use it in salad or just…

I mix refried beans with taco seasoning and use it as a meat replacement. Mexican lasagna (aka enchilada casserole) is a good easy recipe. Just layer tortillas, refried beans, cheese, onions, and red enchilada sauce in a baking dish like a lasagna, top with black olives and then bake. You can find more detailed recipes on…

I use frozen pineapple, almond milk, squeeze of lime and monk fruit sweetener to make a Dole whip.

Soups are super easy. Pot roast with veggies in a crock pot is easy. Keep the juice and make a quick gravy with it when it’s done cooking. Pinterest is great for recipes or allrecipes.

I have been on WW since January and have lost 45lbs. I am currently considering coming back to MFP. Although WW is working for me I need to track my nutrients for health reasons and I don’t want to have to double track to be able to do it. I was going to cancel WW today but they offered me a free month to stay so I still…

Talk is cheap. One of my biggest pet peeves is fake apologies. People think they can do or say whatever they want and then apologize and expect you to say “it’s ok”. Nope. I tell them I don’t want their BS apology. Prove to me your sorry by your actions.

Hell no, I’d rather be alone than deal with someone else’s BS.

I have dabbled with my genealogy. I used to do crafts and sew some, but I haven’t done that in a long time. Hanging out with my nieces and nephews, if you consider that a hobby. I love traveling and taking road trips. I am currently taking Spanish classes. Binge watching TV shows. I am trying to find some new hobbies.

Currently reading Fractured by Catherine McKenzie.

I have just weened myself over the years from lots of cream and sugar to just a couple Tbsp of flavored creamer with no added sugar. Good coffee is key. I also buy a good all natural creamer.

I’ve been doing weight watchers since January and have lost 46lbs. I don’t understand all the complaining. Last I checked we all have our own brain and free will. If you feel like you need to eat fit points then do it. Blue dots? I don’t let some stupid dot on an app control my eating habits. The Sprengel movement?…

I use refried beans mixed with taco seasoning to replace ground beef, I use it on tacos, quesadillas, etc.

Breakfast sandwiches - My favorite is egg, bacon or Jimmy Deans turkey sausage crumbles and cheese on english muffins.

I like Fiber One bars and apples. They usually fill me up long enough to make it home and deter me from the drive-through, and I can keep them in my purse or bag at work so I have them with me. If it's not too hot I leave them in the car. I have the same problems, b/c a lot of times I go straight from work to the doctors…

I've always worked in an office and I think black nail polish is fine, depending on what outfit you are wearing it with. If your whole outfit is dark I would skip the black and go with a color, so you don't come off as Gothic or depressed. If you were wearing the outfit in the picture, black would be fine. In general, I…

Who knows. I gave up diet soda because of the Aspartame. I have chronic pain, arthritis, etc. and Aspartame is known to cause joint issues so I gave it up along w/ all other stuff with Aspartame. Has it helped? I have no idea. I still have pain, but I don't want to risk drinking anything that might make it worse. Stopping…

When I lived in my old apartment I had 3 angel figurines hanging on the wall in my hallway and they were always getting moved around. I would find them all over the apartment. On the bathroom floor, on the kitchen floor,etc. and there is no way they could have fallen and landed in these places. One of them finally…

Batwings are the bane of my existence.

I just downloaded the Track and React app, thanks for that tip. I had a really bad flare-up last summer and I tried an anti-inflammatory diet. It did help but it wasn't instant. I try to incorporate anti-inflammatory foods on a regular basis. During my flare-up which was going past 2 months, I did some research for natural…
