If you have room still, please add me.

Not only does it motivate me, I use photo shop to create an ongoing ticker collage.

YEAH YOU!!!

You said you wanted to hear the good and the bad. I was stunned how low in calories berries are and they are low glycemic too!!!!. Suddenly I could order dessert in a nice restaurant. "Hold the cheesecake and bring me some of the lovely berries you garnish it with." YUMMMM

Is he doing this when you are home or away? My cat only does things like this when we are home and not giving him enough attention. Extra attention fixes it if that is the case. If while you are away, try Feliway spray or room diffuser. Feliway is a synthetic copy of the feline facial pheromone, used by cats to mark their…

You are amazing.

Did you know that PCOS/Diabetes/Hypo-thyroidism all go hand in hand? I also have PCOS but did not know until after I was diagnossed with type 2 diabetes. I think it is great that you have been doing what needs to be done. Congrats! Be sure to get your thyroid levels checked regularly. If it is out of wack, your weight is…

Why are you considering putting your family on a diet that Wikipedia which you pointed us to says the following: "2012 survey, where the diet placed 24th out of 24, stating that their experts "took issue with the diet on every measure".[24] However, one expert involved in the ranking stated that a "true Paleo diet might be…

Eat healthy the rest of day is great advise. If you do not eat after going over your goal, you will just make yourself too hungry and likely to eat more in the end. Try something low glycemic, low calorie like berries or celery and low fat protien to keep you full. Also trust your body a little more. Calories eaten to…

Yes. it worked for this Mrs. Potato Head. I literally could not run 100 yards and keep up with a 4 year-old. Now I am a veteran of 1 race and training to increase my speed for race 2. I still hate running, but do love posting my completed workouts. Advice, If you find any day particularly difficult, repeat it. Do not move…

Walk briskly for at least 10 minutes after you eat carbs. It should help. Don't exercise before eating, it can make your liver produce sugar since its job is to give you energy.

I've done books, although not this one; I have done diets plans, I have done exercise routines, but nothing worked until MFP. Without spreading the food, I would still be in range of what I should eat for the day, and still have spikes and drops. Now I use the goals to count carbs, fats, protein and sodium and set the…

Probably not. As for the Ads, I have done something on this site that I have done nowhere else, I have actualy clicked on ads and bought stuff.

Berries are low calorie and low carb but packed with nutrients. I love them fresh this time of year and frozen through the winter,

Just did day 1 of week 4 and I am definitely not a runner. Just be sure to strech after running, I hate running, but am enjoying the fact that even an overweight grandma can do this.

Sweat is not oil, I just rinse it in the shower on non-shampoo days and use a light leave in conditioner so I can get a comb through it. I like the Paul Mitchell becuase is does not weigh my hair down at all. Also, I do not blow dry my hair until it is almost dry which really helps with the straw hair more than not washing…

I think the question you have to answer is are you losing/maintaining the weight you want and if not, maybe mixing things up a bit concerning mealtimes is a good idea. No two people are the same, and you need to find what works for you. Eating breakfast works for me because I do better if I never get "stomach growling"…

Glad you are not giving up on MFP all together. It is a fitness site which has nothing to do with weight. I plan to be a memebr no matter what I weigh. I don't share my diary either because it is enough that I use it as a tool to monitor what I eat and make adjustments where needed. I do not need others second guessing me.…

I weigh less, but he is taller so my BMI is higher. Our goal is to get us both into the healthy BMI range.

I spent a lot many yeaers not exercising or starting a routine and lasping after a even a short break so I understand not wanting to break the exercise habit. Taking a break is good idea, but if that really stresses you out you can try doing something else instead. A moderate walk instead of an intense bike ride or maybe…

WOO HOO!!!! You are inspiring!!!!

What works for me... I drink more if it is at room temp and not really cold. I tend to take longer drinks. I do not like lemon in water, but do like to smash a few blueberries or a a strawberry in the bottom of my glass and add water to that. Everytime I use a sink, I drink a 4 or 8 oz glass of water. It really adds up…

I am planning to eat corned beef, potatoes and cabbage and washing it down with a beer, but my main celebration this year will be wearing my new (SMALLER) green shirt and teaching the grandkids to dance the Irish Jig.

Ultra One Touch Mini - I was using the True Track which makes the store brand meters, but my doctor did not like it. Since the strips were a lot cheaper, I used both meters for a few days to see if the True Track was as accurate. I found the True Track was almost idenitcal if my reading was 170 or higher, but below that,…
