When did this start, compared to your recent surgery? My first reaction is to wait until you are fully recovered from your hysterectomy and see if that changes anything. And until then I think some of the symptom management ideas above are good ones!

I'd suspect a muscle imbalance--maybe from the time when you broke your ankle. Anyway I would ask for a referral to a physical therapist, they can be miracle workers. (Alternative--to a physical medicine and rehab doctor.) I wish I could go to a PT every month--and have insurance pay for it--just for a tuneup! PS Feel freeβ¦

What @AnnPT77 said. Another thing Ann has said (in other threads) and that I have found to be true, is that when you are tired you tend to crave quick energy foods (e.g., sugary, caffeine, etc.). Since you have a new baby and you're tired, I wonder if prioritizing getting more rest would help. Which I know can be hard withβ¦

This is apparently something that can be a βthingβ with new scales. According to a NYTimes wire cutter analysis, β Many inexpensive bathroom scales respond reliably only to a weight change on the order of half a pound, or, as we found through our testing, will even pull your weight readings from memory without trying toβ¦

I agree the pan really makes a difference! Cast iron is great. You could also first cook in a bit of water (or microwave!) and then just finish it off for flavor with some oil or butter.

I guess I'd say, don't do something you have failed at before and think you will fail at again. Try something new! Small changes can really add up, and for me, logging and measuring is the ticket. And maybe if you are logging, you can figure out your patterns and be able to lower your carbs somewhat.

I like @AnnPT77 's framing of trying something different as an experiment.

There is a category, Goal: Gaining Weight and Body Building, you should look at the discussions there.

@chelletastic31 your profile is private, so I couldn't figure out how to add you. Maybe that is why you are having trouble adding people?

Yeah, that annoyed me too, but that pushed me to do the one-month free trial, and I have to say, I *really* like not having the ads...

Just for today: I will rest.

I'm in the process of getting bloodwork done to test for gluten intolerance/celiac.. You have to be eating gluten for the bloodwork to show anything. I have a wheat allergy (not celiac) and I do think it helps when I am not eating it.

My advice to you would be, take the time to really read through these boards. (Not just this thread, but so many others especially the ones that get "stickied," or put to the top of the topic area, for having really good advice.) There's lots of good advice out there (and some bad), but the best thing I've read is that weβ¦

This is a great point!!

It seems to take several clicks. For instance if you want to friend me, click on my name, then click on my profile, then (I think) it lets you choose "add as friend." Then hit send. There might even be one more click required!

I did need to seriously limit my sugar (not, for example, a bit of sugar that was put into bread before being baked, but added sugar and sweets) and limit myself to a couple of times a week. I still think that is something I will need to continue to do, otherwise my taste buds sneak right into "Oh that is a deliciousβ¦

I'd recommend adding fiber (Psyllium is good, as noted above). And so is water! The other thing that might work (assuming you are following a good plan and eating the right amount of food) is to tell yourself--maybe meditate on these words--"I am satisfied with my food. I have enough food to be healthy and comfortable. Iβ¦

Iβd say, 80% of loss is in the kitchen. Walking is good though!

One thing a lot of people donβt realize at first it that Mfp calculates what your calorie goal should be based on your current weight and height, and the rate you want to lose. So if you weigh 200 pounds and want to lose 50 pounds, and you set your goal at losing one pound a week, you can eat ALL the calories MFP givesβ¦

I am at the upper end hereβjust turned 59. I have lost about half of what I need to (down 23 pounds, have another 20-25 to go. Feel free to add me.

Hi! I actually just turned 59 but I am enjoying this thread. A couple of thoughts: I read an article that recommended for salads to always think about having: a base (lettuce, spinach, a grain like rice or quinoa, something crunchy (cucumbers, nuts) something protein (tofu, chicken, cheese, tuna or sardines etc) and thenβ¦
