Bump... I am also looking for quick breakfast ideas!

Amen!

I have a 19yr old daughter who still lives with me and a 20yr old son who lives in a home I am paying for in the next town over. While I don't mind if they date, I DO still set rules and they DO follow them. When they are both making their own money and paying their own bills they can do as they please.

I haven't looked at your diary so I can't tell you to change your eating habits. But I would like to suggest the (if it fits your macros) way of eating. It means keeping a close eye on what you eat but it allows for pizza and ice cream. One other thing to consider is that you are only a month in. You've changed the way you…

Wow! This is something I have never considered! I'll be looking at labels a little more closely from now on and weighing everything!

Yup. That's me!

I don't run so I can't be of any help really but maybe you need different/better shoes? Or you are pounding your feet when they strike the ground?

Bump... for reading later!

Ditto. On my left side. I'm right handed but sleep on my left. I spend a lot of evenings under a heating pad.

If I can get my photos to up load, I'll show what I did. I used my toddlers as weights! No really! I did! I taught them to stand like statues and I'd pick them up and do curls with them. If you lay on your back and balance a kid on your feet, (hold her hands) you can do leg presses with them... I'd kiss mine every time I…

2 large eggs, fried 1.6 oz of virigina ham and a slice of toast, dry. Because it was breakfast time.

I've read on here that you should do your HIIT after your strength training.

bump. I want to see the replies.

You need to find a routine that you can work into your daily schedule. If you don't like to run, then don't. You can swim or join a zumba class. Or walk. I don't zumba or run but if I had access to a pool on a regular basis, I'd swim! Take a belly dancing class! That sounds like fun! Lift weights, which I do and Love! Pick…

This could part of my problem. I am really stressed about work, I can't stand my boss, my daughter graduating high school and moving in with her boyfriend, IF she'll go to college or not, paying for college for her older brother,... Wow, that's a list! And I stress eat....

Something I'd like to see too!

I guess I look silly I carry a notebook and since I can't see to read, a pair of reading glasses. ..

Would love some new friends too! I'm 46yrs old. 5'1" and 138LBs. I'm hoping new friends with open food diaries will give me some new ideas for meals, in turn I'll open my diary! I like weight training and I would like friends who lift as well! Thanks y'all!

I sent you a friend request! I've on mfp for about a year and half... maybe more. I love weight training and think it's something everyone should do to some degree!

I step on the scale 2 or 3 times daily and I'm sure if I charted it, it'd look much like the OP's chart does.

This^^^^^ if you want it badly enough, you will make the effort.

This^^^^^^^Crock pots and the microwave are my best friends! It takes no time at all to toss a pork chop and some rice, or chicken and rice into a crock pot and come back to it in a few hours. I also brown 2 or 3 pounds of ground beef at a time and store it in air tight tubs. I also make a large tub of rice each week. Toss…

It's the photo that was taken last night with my daughter, it's now my profile pic and I actually like the way I look in it!

The first thing you need to do is understand what you need to change. To that, log your food daily, even it's a horrible million calorie day! Get into the habit of logging everyday, every meal, every bite. In a month, go back and look at that log, it'll tell you what you are eating and you will be able to look at those…

I don't run, I just walk but this happens to me too with both hands. It helps if I carry a wash cloth and pass it from one hand to the other from time to time. I don't smoke or wear an arm band. I do have a very low, normal blood pressure. Don't know if that's part of the issue or not.

Muscle egg. is a good choice. It's egg whites.

Could it be what you are eating, too many wheat products?

Bumping this for my sister who has PCOS. I'm hoping I can get her to come in here and read and get support!

I say do what you enjoy, you are more likely to stick with it for the long term.

I would follow Aaron_K123's advice. Increase your protein and cut back on the carbs. Track your weight daily if you must but don't believe what the scale says... Keep a record of your body measurements, they may be changing while your weight is playing Yo-Yo. Measure your arms, thighs, bust, natural waist, waist at the…
