I'm from Canada but I really like Clarks shoes. The Wave. I think Clarks originated in the UK? It has a really nice arch support and its a walking shoe as opposed to trainers.

Ontario. Canada Btw...Canadian bacon is called peameal bacon here lol

Or you can get double double with milk. Just as good.:smile:

I have always had to watch my weight. I did a good job. Then life and kids got in the way. Always ate healthy but my portions were out there. I was never aware of exactly what a proper portion was.

I think that the strangest comment is the "non" comment. Everyone has noticed that I lost 28lbs. Not one comment from my husband. My parents even commented in front of him and still no comment. Nothing. My daughter even said mom you have to start buying pants that fit lol. Still not a word. Strange....

Have your piece of cake......just don't finish off the leftovers lol. Leftover cake gets me every time

I buy ground. I use it in smoothies and in oatmeal or in yogurt

My goal is to stay active even tho I will not be working in the summer. Also I would be happy if I did not gain any weight. I would like to try and get more formal exercise in like weights.

Hello! I am doing IF now. Nothing drastic or crazy but I eat my first meal at 12:00 pm and my last meal is finished before 6pm. I stick close enough to the 1200 calories. The difference is that I am not hungry in the morning. I used to eat breakfast and then I would be starving my 11:00. Now I just have coffee and no…

Good luck to you!. I am 52 but not quite menopausal yet but getting there. I too am trying to tone my arms. I have not clue what I'm doing but I googled some pictures and am following the steps. I think that my weights are not heavy enough tho maybe 2.5 lbs. Feel free to friend me if you like. Maybe you can give me…

I tend to gain weight when I get white carbs. I stay away from bread, pasta rice, potatoes and all processed stuff like cakes, cookies crackers etc. My doctor once told me that if you get off the white stuff you can lose 20lbs in a month just cutting out that stuff.

Try to keep your portions smaller. For me it is always about the portions. After being on MFP for 7 months I now know what a portion of steak should be.

After dinner I would grab a couple of kids and go for a walk or to the park and play. I think that if we get up off the couch and move after dinner you will notice an improvement. That worked for me. I walked all winter long. Now it is at the point where if I do not get a walk in it's like I didn' t have a good day. I miss…

I found this one a little difficult. What I have been doing now is eating in a 6 hour window and fasting around it. For example I don't eat after 7pm and I don't eat again until 1pm. I have lunch at 1:00 and then dinner at 6pm. Rarely do I eat anything from after 6:00 but I keep the window at 7pm just in case. I have found…

Nothing wrong with one meal a day. Alot of the fasts are like that. I would eat my meal earlier in the day tho. Like lunch or in between lunch and dinner.

Yup, I switch it up. Just started 5:2 IF. I fast for 2 days per week and the other 5 days I have increased my calories from 1200 to 1300. On my fast days I eat 500 calories. This IF is good for the body and brain.

Go to a Chinese food buffet

Right after dinner I clean up and go for a walk. About 4-6k every night. After that I feel so good about myself I don't eat after that. Good Luck!

For me what helped was staying away from my cigarette "triggers". I stopped drinking alcohol. I had my morning coffee in a different place in the house. I stayed away from friends who smoked. Also I went to non-smoking places. Movies, malls etc. Quitting smoking is like another full time job. Everytime I wanted a cigarette…

Thanks for all the kind words. A real pick me up for me. I will not weigh myself for a week or longer. I'm going to try and forget about it but keep the lesson. I think that I'm most bothered by the fact that it took me 5 MONTHS to lose 21 lbs. But I'm going to top wallowing and get on with it. Not everyone an be the hare.…

Hasn't anyone heard of the 10,0000 steps a day to good health????

The slices should be thick. Like at least a half inch thick. Yum!

I just use my ipod. Tracks welll and slips into my pocket.

So then that means that the fruit and veggies carbs are good ones and don't count?

BOTH!

What's a clean diet?

Not sure what to say. I have no medical conditions but menopause is almost at my doorstep. Lately I have hit some kind of plateau. Exercising every day and sticking to my 1200 calories per day. Sometimes I go up a half pound then down again but in the end its still the same. It can only get better from here :)
