I joined My Fitness Pal in March 2012. I am in my 60's but would be more than happy to help with your weight journey. I have lost 35 pounds since March and I really need all my friends to keep me upbeat. Feel free to friend me. Brookhaven 64

I retired from Public school as a teacher for 27 years, and loved every minute of it. I am now teaching the Developmentally challenged on the college campus. I feel so blessed because I have touched so many lives. Kids are very honest and will tell you what they think of your shape. Again, just be honest and explain to…

I absolutely love the Nectar brand by Syntrax. I buy the chocolate Truffle and add 1 scoop to 8 ounces of 2% milk. One scoop is 100 calories, no carbs and I believe there are 25 proteins. I have tried so many brands but this taste just like you went out and bought a chocolate milk shake. I buy mine at Drug Emporium. A…

Missy, I am Judy and go by Brookhaven 64. I have dealt with emotional eating my entire life and this program has helped me so much. I am a retired teacher and would be around to listen to you when you feel like you just have to have the snack. I am not saying I don't snack, but I have come across a few snacks that seem to…

That recipe sounds great. What would be considered a serving

I also was doing protein shakes in the morning and having fresh fruit. I went online and ask about my protein shakes. The advice I got was to never do a protein shake before noon and eat only fruit in the morning, because the fruit would act as a cleanser for the body. I have lost 4 pounds since I changed my routine. I…

Let me begin by saying I am n the same boat as you, and I have always heard not to eat after 7:00. Well, if I don't eat before going to bed I can't sleep and end up eating more.. I allow enough calories for me to have a glass of milk and cookies before I turn in for the night. (I found an off brand where I could eat 6…

I have had my fitbit for 1 week and I love it. I attach it to the middle of my bra (it is so tiny that it doesn't show). I wear it on my arm at night. It has motivated me so much, because it shows you on the computer if you sit to long or how many steps you have actually walked. At night it let's you know how many time you…

First, let me say I hope your life will improve daily. I had never heard that too low of cards would affect the memory. I have done the Atkins diet and just believed that the fewer carbs the better off I would be. After reading this I will add more carbs into my diet plan. Thank you for sharing the information.

I also am new, and have plenty of weight to get off. This site has already encouraged me. Never,never give up. Weight goes on so easy and fast, but harder than ever to lose.

I have been on the Atkins diet 3 times and have lost the weight. It will come off, but the problem is keeping it off. I enjoy doing Atkins, but if you ever go back to eating too much bread, pasta, ice cream it will all come back. I just began this myfitnesspal on Saturday and I am trying to eat only protein for breakfast…
