Those recipes look fantastic, thanks so much. I will try them, starting with lunch tomorrow.

I had a standing desk at my previous (sedentary) job and it was great for increasing steps. True, I must have looked kind of funny, with my little dance while typing, but it worked. :) It was easy to make--a shelf from Ikea on top of a regular desk.

Can't reply to each post individually, don't know what's going on with my screen. But these recipes look fantastic, thanks for sharing, so so much. It is much more efficient to cook something for the first time if you know one of you has cooked it and loves it. I plan to try them all!! By the way, that salad in the photo…

Thanks!!! Any tried and true ones on hose sites you'd like to share with me?

I have a similar situation- pre-diabetic (slight) but also high colesterol (very high). I'll be following the responses to this post. My basic guidelInes are similar to your husband's and I'm tying to follow a vegetarian diet that also allows for eggs, fish, and a little bit of dairy (mostly in the form of no sugar Greek…

Great! Thanks!

Hi! I sent you a friend request. Tell me about your goals in a message if you'd like! I want to be healthier, eat well, exercise some, get stronger, and if I get to lose ten or fifteen pounds in the process I'll be so happy….:)

I am 43 and would love to join a group if it is forming. Used MFP in the past and lost 10 pounds, but regained after a year or so. My schedule does not allow for gym going - I have teenagers but also a young one, and I work outside the home as well, so I could use some online friends, since I need to work out at home,…

Thank you all. I'll try making my own, too.

Have you checked your blood for anemia? I had anemia, iron-deficiency anemia for years and it made me awfully tired. It got worse after I had my kids. When the doctor gave me a special multi with a form of iron i was able to absorb, tiredness got much betterr.

yay!!

How long has this been going on? Could it be mild depression?

This post was very useful. Thanks!

thanks!!!!! I'm doing some research now but don't worry, I will not give up. :)

Will check that link out, thanks. What does the acronym stand for? I've seen it around the site but is unfamiliar to me.

Thanks for responding! The plateau has gone for about a week or two now. :( I'm thinking 1) exercising more and eating more, to give my body a change of pace or 2)trying something called zig zagging that I read about in this forum.

Good advice. Thanks. :)

I only need to lose twenty pounds. Have been eating healthy and performing moderate exercise for a couple of years now, with little results. No, I'm not a bariatric surgery patient. The VLC protocol I'm following is not extreme (allows 1100 calories per day, uses supplements, and is doctor-supervised) nor is it intended as…

Okay, I get it, I'm out, gone.

edited to add. thanks.
