I just started back today. Retired, new home, time to do it right. Friends always help stay on track. I'm unsure how to add friends -- seems different than before.

This isn't exactly a healthy suggestion, but sometimes a cup of coffee with cream to make it brown bag brown, & just sipping it slowly will help me through a need to cheat time. I've also been keeping a large container of Publix fresh fruit (melons, strawberries, grapes, pineapple) in the frig at all times. A few bites of…

I don't feel starved doing 1200 calories a day IF I choose the right food (a bit of lean protein in each meal/snack) to fit into that calorie range. If I go over 1200, I try to add more exercise to have that extra item. This was the range suggested by my physician due to my height, age & gender. Middle-aged petite females…

Butterball turkey bacon- the trick is HOW to cook it - I've learned the trick -- only 2 slices at a time on a papertowel on a plate in the microwave for 2 minutes; it crisps as it cools - no carbs, low fat, tasty, & legal!

babb -- I got back in the water habit by doing three things - 1) I drink cool tap water - it's free & you drink more cool than really cold at one time; 2) I drink from a measured quart container to refill, & I can tell at all hours of the day just how much else is left to drink for my daily goal; 3) On busy days, I put an…

You are absolutely right, Christa. My husband has really enjoyed the home-cooked meals, as well. Since it's now daylight when we get home in the evenings, we're enjoying grilling a lot of our meats & veggies -- add a salad, & there's no kitchen mess to clean either. I also have learned to cook for two days at a time,…

I cut out snacking, especially at night. IF I eat between meals, I have a stick of pepperjack cheese - high protein, low carb, tasty - not bland, convenient, cheap! :happy:

Go to bed.....seriously. That's what I do. I have had to break the night-time snack habit, and it WAS a habit. Now that I haven't had a nightly snack in over a month, it's just not so much of a problem. I'm also trying to be in bed going to sleep by the light of my iPad before it's too late. The later it gets, the hungrier…

WalMart deli roasted chickens are a lifesaver. We use only the breast meat, but it's still cheaper than buying and preparing raw or frozen chicken breasts. I pair this with whole green beans (Publix store brand is best I've found) cooked in just a little olive oil, pop an individual container of Minute Rice's Multi-grain…

I would like to lose twenty pounds by summertime. I purchased some home exercise equipment (because I am rural & do not have gym access easily). I set it up in front of a window where the sun rises, & a nice flatscreen TV & a desk nearby that will hold an iPad. The idea is that the time in the evenings when I watch TV &/or…

I think support is very important, as well. I love idea-sharing, knowing what works for people at varying stages of their program, and advice from real people, not folks trying to sell something. Happy New Year to you! :happy:
