OH SO WRONG! If you are caretaker to a parent battling cancer... Really spending time with your parent is way more important... Hopefully, they recover and you have lots more time with them. (My Dad recovered from his 1st bout of lymphoma and had another 10 good years) But really what will you regret more an extra 3 lbs or…

He really should accept you for who you are... Although, I'm sure many things come into play, and everything in life is a trade off, who is to say where the make or break line is? But just for kicks see how he reacts when you tell him once you reach your "ideal weight" of 130 you are taking marriage off the table. You are…

When I was first here I couldn't hit 1200 cal for more than 2 or 3 days. I was starving and cranky, but on the days I went over I felt awful. Then one day I realized that even a BAD DAY on MFP I was still doing better than I was before MFP. then i did some math and came up with a range. So i wouldn't have to hit 1 number…

I lost most of my weight before I started exercising. These days lots of people have sedentary desk job... I do now. But, I once was a hotel housekeeper, too. I remember how wiped out I was when I got home. And I was so much younger then too! I'd never be able to cut it now. You have exercise built into your daily…

I recently heard it takes 10 - 12 tries to like something new. So small doses maybe something to consider. If you don't have the patience for that try juicing... Mixing veg and fruit, might help disguise the veg.

I started at the lose 1 lb a week setting. As I lost weight MFP deducted calories, when it got down to 1200 cal a day. I switched to lose 1/2 lb a week. For the last 5 lbs instead of letting MFP deduct calories when I lost I added back 100 calories, So that by the time I got to my goal I was eating very close to my…

My current favorite... take about 4 min. in the microwave if I'm just making for me.. in a covered dish I take: • a frozen Trader Joe's Swai Pangasius fillet (It's a thin white mild fillet, I think turbot, cod, tilapia or sole would work well too this) • Frozen artichoke hearts • a capers and • a splash of Lemon Juice if…

Just don't go low-fat.... fat helps with brain & nerve function and it reduce depression. If you have cholesterol issues track your saturated-fats. But healthy plant and fish bases, MUFA, PUFA, OMEGA-3 are all healthy for your. Also most vitamins are fat soluable. So if you body is actually absorbing the vitamins you feed…

Gradually step it back... bit by bit... and you'll get used to it without it being a shock to your system Plus, sugar and artificial sweeteners increase your appetite, so the more you have the more you want. but inversely you need to have less to want less. Cut back and it will reduce your cravings for it.

Then one day I realized that even a BAD DAY on MFP I was still doing better than I was before MFP. then i did some math and came up with a range. So i wouldn't have to hit 1 number every day. This is what saved…

I've been maintaining for 3 years... and still feel like I'm hanging on by my fingernails. There always seems to be an office b'day or a friend's party or a family event. So my latest strategy is simply giving myself a daily deficit of about 100 - 150 calories... That way when something unexpected pops up I have extra…

Have you heard the term "acquired taste" It takes 10 - 12 tries to like something new. patience and persistence might be the trick here. I'm with you on the little-by-little approach. 1) When you change up everything all at once... You have to think about everything all the time. 2) When you change up everything all at…

Here is a ginormous brain dump... I'm sure all the other MFPers are sick of seeing this already, but it's what helped me so I like to share it.... The good news is you don't have to be perfect, you just have to be better. ++Track for a week or two before worrying about losing. This way you'll see where you really stand,…

If you are hungry, eat something nutritious.... Cookie are not for hungry they are for yummy, they feed the soul (that does need to be feed, too) Because I'm not good at hitting an exact number everyday, when I got to maintenance I started keeping a 10-avg of my calorie overs and unders. It really made me stress less... If…

Firstly, Doing something is better that doing nothing. Second, Baby steps, whatever you do, every 2-3 workouts try and add little bit more... Third, Always push yourself to do a little bit more... but when you get to the point that you're in pain or too tired to focus on good form, then you risk injuring yourself...…

Wish I could scale ths down, but I'm not hosting the image. Copy and paste the image into word.

yes, but most folks I know don't pick up blocked or unfamiliar numbers. You know the numbers of the folks who are important to you... everyone else can leave a message... or not.

mostly i say "please put me on your do not call list" i used to take phone surveys... I see no reason to be rude, but I also see no reason to waste my time.

More power to you!!! Use the tools that work best for you!

You don't have to be perfect, you just have to do better this thought has helped me a lot... little things really do add up

Everyone I know who has done WW has lost, but ended up gaining it back plus more. I have one friend who started out at a healthy weight, and ratcheted took more severe measures to lose. It seems to me such an unsustainable unhealthy cycle. I know a couple of people who have done Jenny Craig as well, that process seemed…

I find REPLACING a habit way easier than ELIMINATING it. So, healthier snacks.... Now lots of folks might take you right to the healthiest option, but I've found stepping things down makes it easier to stick with long term... First order of business steer clear of trigger foods. Buy the Individual serving size... I grew up…
