  • There's a certain weight that when I hit it, I always freak out, get on a diet and lose the extra weight. I always know that eventually I'll get careless again and will hit that weight again. What I need to do is LOWER that "certain weight" so that I freak out sooner and don't have to own three sizes of clothes at all…

  • I do a "bowl" too, though mine is not vegan or vegetarian. I keep a sort of buffet in my fridge. I have 2-cup and 4-cup Rubbermaid glass storage bowls and have sort of an informal rotation of different meats and veggies at all times. Everything is pre-cooked either when purchased or by me, so I just select which items I…

  • Hi All! I will be 58 in March. All my adult life I've been the type whose weight will slowly creep up, then I'll lose it on a diet, then it'll slowly creep up again. I know what I should eat, I just get careless about it over time, and then all of a sudden I've hit my "wake up" weight . . . again. I just hit that "wake up"…

  • I have a problem with sweets. 1) Most sweet stuff makes me hungry for more sweet stuff 2) I find that when I eat sweets I don't enjoy fruit very much. Apples for example, taste very bland. So I'm basically off the sweets now. Shortly after stopping sweets, apples suddenly tasted delicious and I actually look forward to…

  • My husband is very slim so I'm on my own, but that actually makes it easier for ME. I only have to plan calorie-conscious meals for myself and he leaves my special food alone. In FACT, he just automatically started fixing most of his own meals too, to help me out. (he's retired - I still work full time). But when ANYONE…

  • HIGH PROTEIN. Protein really makes you feel full way longer than carbs. I keep a variety of foods in glass bowls with rubbery lids. (rice, couscous, chopped up roasted chicken, the leftover ham from Christmas, mixed veggies, and a can of deluxe mixed nuts.) For lunch and dinner I mix a few of these up, nuke them, sprinkle…

  • I'm 57 and just got a fitbit. Definitely interested in raising my activity level and hoping the Fitbit will help inspire me to step away from the computer and do more moving about. So I'll be looking around next for some sort of a challenge to do. Also just ordered a Schwinn recumbent exercise bike which is supposed to be…

  • Hi All, My name is Lesa and I tend to get addicted to ONE treat at a time, Generally something with chocolate. In college it was cream filled choc cakes in the vending machine - had to have one every day (@ 500 cal per pack). Later it was Dairy Queen Blizzards - had to have one every day at lunch time. Later it was Cocoa…

  • I really love BigOven. It has a site you load onto your computer and it has an app, which I have on my iPhone and on my KindleFire. There's a free version and an inexpensive paid version. What I LOVE about this app is that you can search for recipes and add them to your collection. You can also input your own recipes. Then…

  • Thanks Pam, Jane and Molly! [Molly] You don't need the app at all. I have an iPhone and have the app, but I've been doing everything on my laptop since it's easier to key in stuff with my keyboard. I've only been on MFP for a couple of days, but it reminds me of Facebook. In addition to discussions within any groups you…

  • Thanks All! The main reason I start gaining weight always seems to be due to INATTENTION - I just don't pay attention and I eat whatever and whenever I feel like it. So really, I guess it's NOT a diet I look for so much, or a quick fix, but just getting my eating back under control. Having a PLAN and SUPPORT helps me to…
