I am concerned about the amount of sodium I’m consuming as well. It’s especially present in many meats. It’s a work in process to find the right balance.

I’m here! Feel free to add me. I don’t always remember to come to the boards.

I’ll add you. I sign in daily!

You’ve taken some important steps. That’s important!! The pandemic did a number on a lot of people. Feel free to add me!! I can help you with encouragement and help you learn how to cook simple things. My motto is if you can read, you can cook. 😀

Hi everybody. Hope you have had a great day. It’s been ugly hot today in central Florida. I’m making sure to drink drink drink. Betsey

Hi everybody! This looks like an active group and I’m so glad. My name is Beth. I’m in this journey, too. I’m looking for friends to encourage and be encouraged by. I was 425 in August. I casually watched what I was eating and had lost from 458. ( I was actually heavier than that at one point, but chose not to record it.)…

I had posted a minute ago and it gave me an error. I’m looking for people with similar goals. I started at 458 and am at 385. Started Keto in June and it’s going pretty well. Would love to have friends to cheer on. Anyone?

I'm a Library Media Specialist. I usually just call myself a librarian, though.

*Maybe an alien bobble head?

I had one too. Mine had to be reopened and I have an ugly scar. Sometime sit kind of aches. There is defintely a pouch. I am working on my abdominal muscles to imporve strength. Sometimes if I laugh the worng way my abdominal muscles get a charley horse.

I'm there. Add me,too! I figure the more friends and support we have the better. :)

Sounds like a plan. :)

True. No use beating myself up over it. It was a choice. Now choose to move on, right? Just wish I had the energy to go to the gym .I am fighting some bug and amd very lethargic.

I hear you. I'm having the same issue. I know I am doing better than I had been in the past and I MFP tells me I will lsoe such and such in 5 weeks, but I rarely manage to stay within my 1750. TV dinners work well at school, but when I am home during the day and hungry...

Two things: Allow for it in your plan and try portion controled ice cream. I love fudgecicles and chocolate covered icecream on a stick. Cold and yummy but not crazy.

MFP had me at 2100 or something like that. I have been working downward toward 1500. I'm on my seocnd week of 1750. I want to avoid the starvation reponse from my body.

I have a 11-year old daughter. My husband and I are Girl Scout leaders. I am a school library media specialist. I pref just 'librarian.'

I can relate. I suffered with Bulimarexia from early teens through my late 20's. I gained a lot of weight after my starving stopped. I discovered that there is a form of bulimia where you don't purge. That realization has caused me to be mroe alert when I am eating crazy things. Like what am I feeling? I found myself…

I'm in!! I would love to have friends and be a friend. :) Currently 385. Ouch, I hate writing that. Betsey

Thanks for posting! I have been using MFP for a month now. First I used the suggested claories for a week, then figured out to customize. I did 2000 calories for a week. Now I am at 1750. I'm going to do do 1750 for two weeks then move down to 1500. I was wondering how I would come up with meals in the 300 calorie range.…
