You are just like me. My "backsliding" has just scared me to death!!! I am learning to control inflammation conditions with what I eat. I am cutting out milk,and red meat, and bread. My arthritis has improved, BUT, I still can't lose wt. Sooooo discouraged. Decided to sign up with MFP. Help me!!

I have been successful with fasting and only water every other day. But the dietitian told me to increase my intake and eat smaller portions----guess what??? I GAINED more wt. I prefer stopping carbs like breads, and eating protein ,fruits and veggies and then alternate with a "water only" day. It works for me!!

Happy to meet another 70+ gal. I am 71 and I need to lose 30# too. I start out with best intentions----then 2 weeks later,I "forget" to follow all the rules! I have done the wt loss before, and it IS possible. I want to encourage you and I hope you will send some tips and encouragement my way,too.

Ariel. I love your enthusiasm. Congrats on your consistency. I have tried this IF before and it did work. I go 24 hours drinking only water and tea. Plus I allow for one or two small pieces of fruit . Next day I try to meet my calorie amt with 3 sensible meals. Only time I mess up is if I get too stressed to stay on…

Great advice on this subject. My dietician said that I need to eat more to lose! I have not been meeting my 12oo cal/day amount. That is hard to believe. Any ideas????

Sounds like a fun tip. Actually,I am able to do pretty good both hands because I practice---even writing and picking up stuff. Mindfulness is very important in this journey. I find I can focus on everything when I fast and drink only water one day and then alternate with sensible meals the next day. Works for me. The…

You may be the type who needs to have small meals every 2 hours. AND, it is super important to accurately measure everything. The portion control and estimating amounts is what kills me. It is such a discipline to weigh each piece of food or put it in a measuring cup. You need to wright it down . And, to get started, try…

You are right. I tried one Yoga class last year---super boring. Then the granddaughter wanted to go to a class and invited me. We worked so hard and could only manage 40 mins. We were sweating like crazy!! It was fun.

Yes,I have tried water only every other day and it actually works. Must only do it for a jumpstart---one or two weeks!! Then the appetite is usually under control. My problem is that I fall off the wagon on vacation or under STRESS !!!

Do you take a multi-vitamin? Please do not take on an empty stomach. Yes, carbs, like crackers and orange juice will give you energy and keep your blood sugar even, while you exercise. Take this snack 15mins before the work out.

Now,that pizzazuchinni sounds doable. Sorry,but too much" bread "is my downfall. I grill thick slices,with mushrooms and then sprinkle oregano on top,maybe a bit of cheese,too(shredded). Yummy.:love:

Sometimes increased pain and stress causes me to lose my willpower. You are actually hungry. It is OK to snack healthy, often. What have you tried?Sometimes a personal fitness trainer will turn it around for you. It is worth the money to use the gym. Be absolutely sure to write down everything. Wt Watchers was a good start…

The vanilla smoothie from Wt Watchers only has 90 cals and 10 gm Pro. Very satisfying.

:love: Sounds so delicious,and easy. I have Flax meal and blueberries. How many cals,do you think? Will make it in the morning!
-
:happy: Make an "action plan"--Goal #1: Snacking. Goal #2:Activity. I wrote out everything on paper and carry it around the house. So far,so good.

Absolutely agree with most gals--eat carbs before a workout. About 15mins before. Drink water during exercise,too. Crackers and OJ great choice.
