Any good seafood market should stock them. Peak season is October to March.

OP, I just returned from the land of 1200/day + exercise. I only lasted 11 days. It's not worth it. I'm 5'6" and 155. Inability to sleep, restlessness, extreme HANGER, moodiness, the urge to just curl up and sleep the time away....a recipe for disaster. I literally felt like crap the entire time. I'm now at 1500/day,…

this^^ I'm 52 and started in April 2016 weighing 202 (i'm 5'6"), by December 2016 I was at 158. (I weigh 157 today btw but my lowest since I started has been 150). I've been weight training and following an eating plan (on and off) since the early 90's. I did it on my own using a calorie count book at first, but when MFP…

I think I worded it wrong upthread, they help me to sleep through them, sorry about that. What happened to me was that I was sleeping through, but the flashes have been ramping up lately. Not the number of them, but the severity of the flash. It's enough to wake me up at night. It's happening more and more now. When I…

I'm 52, post menopausal and still having hot flashes. I can't stand them and i'm so tired of them. I get maybe 4 hours of solid sleep, wake up, stare at the ceiling for a while then go back to sleep. My highest was 202 in April of 2016. In June 2017 (the last time I weighed myself) I was 150.8. What worked for me to lose…

Please tell me where these shirts are lol.....most shirts I see/try on have tiny little shoulders and massive fabric in the waist area, like a triangle

lol when I go to the Doctor's office I make sure i'm clothed with shoes, and even have my phone on my belt when i'm weighed.....just to make sure the number is off. If I know it's off I won't stress about it

...I know that's right, as i've lived to tell the tale.

I haven't found weight loss at my age an issue either. I'm 52 and post menopausal. I plug in my stats, follow the calorie allotment, eat 50% of the exercise calories i've earned for the day and it's working for me. Moderate protein and fat, with lower carb (40/40/20). I weight train 4x/week, cardio 4x/week. I lost 46 lbs.…

Me too. I started at 192 in April 2016 and i'm at about 156 today. (My goal is 150). I went from a size 18 to a 8 or 10, but I continue to hang on to my 12's because that's what I feel I "deserve" to be in. Also still hang onto and wear my XL and L shirts (even though i'm wearing M or S now). Confession: a part of my mind…

I personally think you did a great job. This is usually my time of year to gorge freely lol....I think we are all learning not to let the goodies consumption get the best of us too much during times of holidays and life in general. This is an excellent example of not letting it get away from you and keeping focus to the…

I started at 191.8 in September and this challenge really made me "reel it in" and focus from 175 on down. I wanted to be 160 when I stepped on the…

SW: 175 W1: 175 W2: 171 W3: 169 W4: 167 W5: 164 W6: 163 W7: 160 W8: ??? ;) Total weight loss for challenge: 15 lbs. I'm still going and want to see if I surpass the goal (probably not, as I overate on Christmas Day and one other day since week 7 haha) Good luck everyone and Happy New Year!!

I personally like IF because it's easy and I like to eat big when I do eat. Right now i'm 20/4 (20 hours of fast and 4 hour eating window). I started with 16/8. I like it because I don't have to drag a bunch of food to work, worry about lunches, snacks, etc....just one big azz meal when I get home. I eat whole foods that…

I know this feeling!! My experience also includes being sober for 15 years and smoke-free for 10, so I have nothing to "hide" behind anymore Sometimes I feel like a deer caught in the headlights o' life but I manage to get through...for me it takes lots of practice and patience (and beating myself up with a feather instead…

2800...... my maintenance is 2200. I weight trained and did cardio yesterday and today. I also weighed this morning and I was 1 lb. heavier

I eat LCHF as it works for me.....I feel satiated and have energy. When I eat high carbs (i'm talking about grains, flour, rice, etc) I feel bloated and sluggish. It may be the exact opposite for other folks. I eat meat, poultry, shellfish, vegetables, fruit, nuts and oils for the most part. 95% LCHF, I eat popcorn for a…

SW: 175 W1: 175 W2: 171 W3: 169 W4: 167 Total down for challenge: 8lbs. Goal weight: 160

Got mine off of Craigslist for $25 from a family moving back to Australia I love making soups, bone broth and steamed veggies

Challenge SW: 175 Current weight: 169 Goal weight by end of challenge: 160 -2 lb. this week

Try craigslist....I got one for $25 from a lady that was moving to Australia and didn't want to take it with her I use it to pressure cook meats and soups, make bone broth, saute, steam veggies etc

I usually use FlatOut flatbread and top with whatever I want....i'll have to try your Mexican version, it sounds pretty good

51/f. Down from 175 to 171 this week. This was after hovering at 175 for 2 weeks. Things I did differently this past week: 1. Invested in a digital scale ($15 at WalMart) and weighed everything (and I mean everything lol) in grams. 2. Reset my activity level to sedentary (it was set at lightly active) because I sit at a…
