  • Have you tried Mediterranean Snacks' Baked Lentil Chips? They're gluten free, no rice (although I never heard of anyone who was unable to eat rice), no saturated or trans fats, and 110 calories per 1 oz. serving. They're high in protein compared to other chips: 4g per serving. They contain no sugar and 3 g of fiber. I love…

  • The SI joint is problematic, according to my yoga instructor. She claims the only "cure" is to rest it completely. As far as whether yoga is enough, assuming you do enough core work, the only other thing you should need is cardio. I certainly wouldn't run with SI joint problems. Anything jarring will aggravate it. I am 62…

  • Good idea! (I usually don't use anything) The egg boosts the protein content. I'll try it!

  • I am an experienced dieter. I'm currently 62 years old and have struggled with my weight all of my life. Please take it from me: It's essential to weigh every day. If I get up in the morning and weigh even half a pound over my goal weight, I need to eat less that day. It prevents me from "accidentally" putting on 2 or 3…

  • Get some part-skim ricotta cheese; Start with 1/2 c. and mix in 1 tsp. unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/4 tsp. vanilla extract, 1 single serving packet of Equal, and a dash of espresso powder. Mix well. Makes 2 servings, 130 calories, 7.5 g. protein, 7 g. fat each. Great dessert!! (from The South Beach Diet)

  • I agree with you. Congratulations on your weight loss! I lost 60 pounds, and my abdomen is big and hangs a little, but I'm still happier and healthier than before. Keep up the good work!

  • As I said in my original post, I've only been doing this for 13 months now. It is challenging at first, but a good yoga instructor reminds the class EVERY TIME a difficult pose is prompted that everyone should always work at your own pace. He/she can give you alternate poses that will work the same muscles, but more…

  • I'm very sorry to hear about your problems. Life gets like that sometimes--we've all been through this kind of thing. I'm new to MFP, and I love it; however, having struggled with weight for all of my 61 years (I was born fat), I've finally found something that helps both my weight and my depression: yoga. I sincerely wish…
