Looking forward to it!

I dream about food, but don't think I've ever dreamed about MFP per say.... or anyone associated with my friends list...

The good fats mentioned already are all great... I cook with olive oil and coconut oils... I am not big on wheat, but I do love Millet, whole grain rye breads with no wheat, and quinoa... all high in protein as well. Broccoli is surprisingly high in protein.. I'll eat 3 stocks, steamed al dante, then top with either fresh…

If your family has not put hospice in place, help them with that, and hospice will provide help for family members too. Counseling is part of what they do, and teaching/assisting the whole family to find what works for them with the process... sending hugs, love and light!

On a 'bad' day I drink 1/2 gallon... my weight is usually up the next morning.... on a good day it's between 3-4 quarts... and on a day that I'm on the go a lot it can be over a gallon but usually not by more than a quart.... on days that I eat sugar, and foods that could keep me from loosing or bloat me, if I'm drinking…

Sharon, I totally agree, doing a weight training/strengthening that shifts the body composition, and a program that you can stick with for the long term maintenance, that's has much more value than the number on the scale... you may not loose another ounce, but you could lose a dress size or two and be firm... yep, that's…

I personally have not done any cosmetic surgery, however I've know two woman who did, and my witness to how these woman responded may give you some food for thought. Person #1, was obese, and lost over 200lbs, waited 5 or 7 years, then did the skin removal surgery, tummy tuck, butt lift, and some face lifts. Some of the…

8 8oz a day= 64oz is 1/2 a gal... which is a MINIMUM.... there is a formula based on weight, I forget it though... but for my size it's 3 quarts a day... and I try to do that to 1gal a day depending on my activity and eating.... If I stay between 3quarts to 1gallon a day, my weight is more stable, even if I do sweets etc...

WOW what a topic... I believe many factors come into the picture, and the answer varies depending on the person's health/diet history and current health status. If one has a propensity to sugar highs and LOWS, eating foods that make one's insulin move more radically will inhibit ones ability to loose; as will someone who…

I like thedietsolution site for educating one about 'clean eating', and she has recipes. READ labels, eat organic, free range, grass fed, wild caught.... I prefer buffalo to beef... but if you eat beef ONLY EAT grass fed, free range... organic is ok, but not necessary if the other two criteria are met. For me dairy and…

I think it just depends. Here where I live, I can have a membership for swimming for $35 a month, and it's a non-profit, so I feel if I don't use it any given month, it goes to a good cause... For $15 a YEAR I can belong to a senior circle, where all kinds of classes are offered: yoga, bone building, body shaping etc...…

I saw your invite and joined... now I just have to remember to check for postings and actually participate... I eat 'clean' and mostly organic. I read labels, eat only wild caught and grass fed when eating meat, fish, etc. Sugar and I have had a love affair for most of my life... so I have guidelines for that too, so I can…

Although shakeology has some great ingredients, it also packs 9grams of sugar, and using some sugar substitutes that cause bloating in some people's intestinal track. It also has MSM which for some causes bloating also. So I do NOT believe shakeology is a worthy meal replacement shake. I believe in eating small amounts of…

Lots of things can cause this... personally I like the way Isabella addresses how to have a flat belly on the web site 'thedietsolution.com' .... things that can cause such swelling are: 1) sensitivity to a food 2) digestion/ assimilation problems 3) wheat, dairy, soy all make the intestines hold water, hence creating…

I believe the 'sugars' are for ADDED sugar, and concentrated sugars (like fruit juice even with only natural sugar). Natural sugar in fruit, veggies etc are 'ok' sugars... so even though MFP tracks all sugar intake, look at it, and if you have NO added sugar in any form, sugar,added fructose sugar as a sweetner, and in my…

I agree it's not just the water, but the NOT drinking an artificially sweetened carbonated drink. The carbonation is a 5.5pH, which makes us more acidic, increases inflammation and all kinds of stuff. Certain foods create inflammation specifically in the intestines, which means weight gain. You did great to make the…

You look great!! Amazing transformation for 33#'s. You look like you FEEL better too!! You should feel most proud for all you've accomplished so far!!

My favorite oatmeal is longer cooking or oat groats, with cinnamon, 1/4 cup chopped raisins cooked in with the oats so it sweetens it, and 1oz of diced almonds on top. I find this will hold me until lunch with no cravings for snacks...

I concur... if you can discipline yourself to cook your own, you will have way better quality, probably be able to eat larger portions, and feel fuller, and control sodium, sugar etc...

Hi, I'm Sue The year I was 40, a new yoga teacher came to winter on the island where I lived. He made it his goal to teach us the basics, so we could be healthy, since he knew when he left it could be a long time before the next teacher showed up. I learned the basic mechanics of yoga with his Iyengar teachings. I am now…

I do a whey isolate protein in my yogurt/organic fruit smoothies, but it only holds me for a work out or a couple of hours(hence it becomes a 'snack' or protein support for building muscle during workout)... so I've never been a big fan... unless you have to GAIN, then having in ADDITION to or with your regular meals then…

I started yoga at 40.... and it changed my life! I am 56 now and I still have my practice. I've lived in a couple of 'secluded' areas with limited teachers available, but my first teacher taught the basics, as he knew when he left (he was only there for 6 months) we'd be on our own... so his goal was to teach us enough to…

Not vegetarian, but eat meatless and dairyless a lot... former restaurant owner (like a life time ago) and love cooking with organic food, from scratch, simple stove top, quick recipes. I eat wheat free, little to no dairy, and when I do eat meat it's organic, free range, and wild caught only. Happy to share recipes...…

I LOVED your sharing (although the sex part a little graphic for the granny in me!)... getting honest with ourselves is step 1 to success... compassion is another.... there are layers and layers of process here. Let me know if you need specific support at any time, I'd be honored to support someone like yourself!

In reading through the replies to your concern, I agree with what others are saying, and wanted to mention some reminders that I'm sure you already know. 1) Muscle weighs more than fat, and building muscle WILL result in less inches, and eventually weight. 2) The more muscle we have, the better we can BURN the fat... so…
