Hi and I use to travel for work and eating healthy can be tough without a kitchen. Not sure what you like to eat, but for breakfast, there is steel cut oatmeal that is frozen (Good Food Made Simple) prepackaged in 1 cup servings for 150 calories. You can put 1/4 cup of sugar free syrup (30 calories). Bread with cheese, in…

Having been raised on the Gulf in FL, hurricanes were a way of life that I quickly tired of and moved to the mountains of NC where my fathers family lived. I remember the drill well...water, candles/lanterns, thermos of coffee, non--electric can opener, batteries and battery operated radio/tv. Oh yeah and stuff to make…

I have 5 small parrots and they make me smile most of the time (when they aren't screaming at me for something!) I love mfp and the support and positivity I've received from folks. I discovered sugar free hershey's chocolate syrup (2 tablespoons for 15 calories) for those chocolate times. Philly Swirls (14 calories) for…

Hey there...and I am a pretty boring eater :laugh: but my breakfast always includes coffee, ff half and half, and then either boiled eggs (1 or 2) depending on hunger or 1 cup steel cut oats meal with sugar free syrup. Lunch is always a salad with a variety of veggies but change up the protein source. I usually have a…

Great suggestions Tuff! Thanks for sharing!

Ok binky...being the real confident person I was when I first looked at joining a "gym" :noway: I had over 100 pounds to lose. I chose to go where to a fitness center that is also paired with a physical rehab facility. One, I felt I'd fit in better being morbidly obese and over 50 and, secondly, I was certain I was a klutz…

:laugh: I feel the same way! Thanks for the :laugh:

Hi jennifer....You've gotten a lot of great advice. The only thing I can add is that you are getting married and I know your husband to be wants you around for a long time! Mainly, however, you are worth the effort for YOU and eating a lot of food isn't worth it or gonna fix anything. I always ask myself "Is this ____…

Hi there and I have been on the journey you are starting for about 2 years. I don't have a 100 left to go but I do know a few shortcuts and would love to help if you'd like. Add me if you'd like. To add a ticker: 1. Click on tools 2. On top right click on the "get yours now" under "Weight Loss Tickers" 3. Make your ticker…

Hi caligirl and it apprears we've traveled a similar paths with the type 2 and the weight loss. In research, I don't see where T2 slows down weight loss, but that doesn't mean it isn't true. I agree with the previous posters that change of workout routine is essential, increase protein is essential (and helps with the T2…

Hey there and thanks for sharing your opinion. I am one of those HRM and mostly organic persons. However, with this economy, I certainly know that not everyone can afford the cost of a HRM or to consistently eat organics. Yes, I've heard all the stuff about it's not that much more expensive and that's not true. My food…

If you allow it to be, it will. I say that from the perspective of being almost 2 years into a healthy journey resulting in losing, basically, one person. When I started the journey, I told myself that I couldn't think of it in total as it was overwhelming. I chose to think of it in ten pound increments and celebrated each…

Sounds like another way to promote unhealthy eating, i.e., anorexia. While I agree that a majority of societies in the world do see thinness as more attractive, industries outside of the mostly superficial modeling and entertainment business, prefer you have the brains to do the job. i agree with previous poster...we need…

Is she mentally ill? No, not in the legal sense that would get her committed. Is she in need of mental health intervention....no question. I agree that this woman is slowly killing herself and, having been morbidly obese myself, find it sad that she has such little regard for herself and her children. While I don't…

Hi Maya and thanks for the courage of admitting that you are thinking you can't. The sad thing is that your "can't" thoughts are going to make sure you don't succeed. You need to get can't out of your vocabulary and look at what you CAN do. You say you've been watching calories, exercising and drinking water....all those…

Hey there and welcome! My best advice is to not consider this as a diet (I don't think they work in the long haul) but as a lifestyle change to keep you healthier. Know in advance that it will take time, sweat, tears and more than a few curse words, However, YOU are worth it all. You have to believe in yourself and be…

Well my theme song is and always will be Trains "Drops of Jupiter". Hard one to spot huh? However when working out, I revert back to anything by Hendrix, Stones and Zepplin.

I am definitely on board with your theory and believe those old SOBs have loonggggg roots to firm up their hold. With patience, blood, sweat, tears and a million grumbled curse words, they are defeated! Thanks for the smile this morning!

I am 55 and only started to address my weight issues when I was over 50. For me, losing weight was a tad slower, only because with increased experiences in life, accidents and general aging process, it was a tad more difficult to move intensely for increase calorie burn. That doesn't mean I can't, just means I take a bit…

1---Need to quit checking the fridge at night to see if the food fairies have accidentally left something I think I want. 2--After finding that the food fairies failed, need to quit over-snacking on healthy foods...those calories count also! 3--Need more sleep which I should be doing instead of #1 and #2 (This isn't a…

Hello, bunches. In my opinion, she expressed health concerns regarding her stomach fat. While he gave her a pat on the knee, repeated to her the family physiology and told her to get over it, he did nothing to give her alternatives she might explore, like exercise. I don't expect any professional to wave a magic wand, but…

How patronizing of your doctor. Given that he wasn't LISTENING to you, I'd find one that would. You pay them for their service and knowledge, not to have your concerns brushed off. I'm with the previous posters regards finding a doctor that LISTENS to you and what you see as your health needs. And no, I don't think you…

I love reading positive messages on the boards and yours brought a smile to my face! Well that and your hoops profile picture!

Hey there....Thanks for opening your diary. I took a peek and agree with what everyone else has suggested regards upping water consumption and taking a look at decreasing sodium. Dependent on the medications you are taking, they could be the type that assist you retain fluids or prohibit weight loss, so review them with…

Hi sharon and I am a firm believer that when we tell ourselves "no" we kick into rebellion mode and want exactly what we think we can't have. When I get a bit preoccupied by food, I do a couple of things. I go for a walk or start into a chore (endorphines always made me less hungry); I start looking up recipes to see if…

I've been using the polar F7 for over a year and have found it easy to use and simple to program. The chestband is comfortable although with time I've found it harder to keep fresh smelling (good I guess with all the sweat) despite following cleaning recommendations. I am not as familiar with the F4, but believe the F7 has…

Totally agree with mccrockl and other post regards going to a store and getting assessed from a certified pedorthist. I did this and it's made a world of difference!

I don't believe in cutting any food out. It's kinda like the rebellious teen spirit returning...as soon as I tell myself I am never/not going to eat something, I want it. So, as stated by a previous poster, I make the choice to NOT eat something 98% of the time. There is that 2% where I cave :ohwell: i acknowledge it and…

I'm also a polar fan. I've had a F7 for over a year and it is an essential tool. The chest strap is comfy and entering the information (and updating it with weight lost!) is easy. And yes, amazon has several providers that are running sales and free shipping on the F4 and F7. Happy shopping!
