My apologies for driving you batty, but in my personal experience, in order to manage energy and mood, I've whittled my diet down to cooking my own meals and using fresh healthy ingredients.. It's not as complicated as the rules described above, there is always room for treats. Not to mention when I use the term clean,…

I had surgery a month ago and doc put me on a juice cleanse for anti inflammatory purposes. He had me on bone broth for protein, and the juices had to include green leaf veggies. I was allowed some solids, free range chicken breast and eggs. Those things are very easily processed, low calorie, and good cholesterol and fat.…

[/quote] 'Clean' eating is a completely subjective and arbitrary term that has absolutely nothing to do with weight loss.[/quote] Is this spoken from personal experience or what you've picked up from the internet?

Your standards are so much higher now!! Be proud! Bounce back! The fall isn't as hard! I know binge behavior and how the steam needs blown off, good control!! Some people simply do not understand! Obviously keep them few and far between, but if you have to have them, make them healthy!

You're going to need to separate yourself from him in regards to eating. It can be very hard in a relationship when one partner has to eat differently. I think you need to have a really serious talk with him and let him know just how important this is to you. Let him know that if he wants sweets, he needs to use a little…

Having lost 100+ lbs, there isn't a method I haven't tried, (within certain limitations) I did the microwave dinners for several months in the very beginning, before I had the education mfp gave me to be able to easily throw together fresh, healthy, clean 15-30 minute meals for me and my family. I did lose weight during…

I lost 130 lbs all while on lexipro.. as long as you can manage your life routines, exercise, and use the education mfp gives you on macros and calories, you will be able to do it! The bigger issue is that you are still in the Guinea pig stage of your mental wellness, which can be a very tough time to lose weight. Because…

I'm also returning to peak health after surgery. I'm probably going through some of the same issues. (Atrophe, psychological issues, etc..) I'm over the hump now and motivated! You can add me if you like!

It took me 2 years to save up what I wanted for the two surgeries I'm getting. Next one is breast aug on July 14th

Surgery is on the 15th.. Right now I'm on an anti inflammatory diet. That's going well. I'm in good spirits, I have a lot of help and support around the house.. I'm hoping the recovery will be smooth.. I will keep u guys posted here and on my feed.

Can't figure out how to edit it lol.. I'm sure people are smart enough to figure out my mistake

The brunt of it took about 3 years. It's been 7 total. I've done a lot of toning and maintenance since the loss. Still, the skin is not changing.

I don't like how those loaded

Spring picnic today

I'll probably be doing a fair amount of oversharing so you'll probably learn a lot from me lmao

Here's my before after photo I forgot to upload lol

Here's my before after photo

That last post came out weird lol

You and me both! I actually control my bipolar with exercise and if I don't blow off steam, I drive everyone nuts with hypomania. I've found a great balance in exercise but I hate to think I'm damaging myself in doing that.

I really think this has happened in the last 7 years. I have just slowly increased endurance to this point and I know my limits and when to push/not to push.. I do everything by feel, always have. It's wonderful because I remember how hard everything used to be.. I guess part of the "nonstop" is the fear of getting used to…

Interesting thing is, for both parties, it's not actually about being fit, super fit, or not fit at all. It's about personal security. Even the super-fit have insecurity, that's why the judgement talk.. and the insecurity of the not as fit.. hear it and are effected. It's all the same lack of self esteem. It just manifests…

Thanks!!!!

Look for a place where old ppl work out! I love my gym! Usually, I'm the only one there under 60! I just plug in my headphones and do my thing. I'm sure I'm giving old dudes heart attacks, but at least they know better than to try to chat me up, and no 20 somethings laughing because I use a machine wrong because it's their…

Hi, I'm interested in some new friends!! I have lost quite a bit using mfp, but in the last few months, kinda fell off the wagon. I need some active and motivating friends!! Add me!!
