How y'all doing? I'm over in South Carolina! The heart of the south for some of us! My heart is in the east Tennessee mountains and they are pretty southern over there. Welcome!

I've had the same issue as you. I was eating the stricter side of 1200 calories and hardly eating back any exercise calories or if I did, it wasn't very many. I stopped losing pounds and was losing only inches. I went into MFP and started reading what other ladies had put on the community board about the same struggle I…

You are to be commended for being there for your mother; however, if she has a husband and a son living there, they can surely help take care of her in the evening especially if you're there for her during the day. I will tell you what was once said to me by my doctor and it took me a while to understand what he was saying…

The statement that was made was they…

Eggs have gotten a bad rap! They're not bad by themselves - they're full of protein. It's how they are cooked, how often they are consumed and what people do them that make them bad.

I have a Sara Lee English Muffin (90 calories), 1/2 of a large scrambled egg, Oscar Mayer Microwave Bacon (2 pieces) for 35 calories, and a tbsp of shredded cheddar cheese. Yum and only 200 calories! I always throw in some grapes in case I do get hungry before lunch. I've also used turkey sausage instead of bacon and it…

I had a fitness guru tell me one time if I did nothing else to change my life-style, the way I currently feel is as good as it will ever get for me. That didn't feel good to be told that but I needed to hear it and it made me stop and think about what I was really doing to myself. Good luck! I struggle daily but I make…
