I think the main things I actually accomplished this month. Started Tracking my food, Started tracking my walking.

I am told ThinMichelleSparkles that I am in for an accountability group, as I need to lose a lot and have a long road ahead. I am not great on FB, but Might have to do that if that is where the group goes. I prefer Discord and google sheets as I can keep the same google sheet going and just add to it. I am on discord…

This September: I have begun MFP again. Pre track my day, tweak as needed. So, I have an outline of the day. Two main goals this month 1. Reduce the amount of I blew it snack times - Last month it was all day, last two weeks once a day, trying to move to zero times a day. 2. Increase fitbit steps. last month did not wear…

Mini goal one - increase fitbit steps from 4k to 5k. Mini goal two - Removing the once a day binge snacking. All my meals are doing well, still binge snacking once a day. However that is down from doing it all day long.

MFP name: Bellawow (not my real name) I am tracking my calories and my fitbit steps Goals: 1. Track Calories, If I snack binge then I log Blew it, and trying to find what time of day I do that, and reduce it to 0. So, far this week only had one day I did not blow it. 2. Currently my fitbit steps daily are over 4k. Want to…

I too am getting back into it. Over 60 with more than 100 lbs to lose. I wear my fitbit on my ankle to keep track of all my steps no matter what I am doing, and able to cook and clean too. I am retired, but trying to build stamina bit by bit. Logging all my food, even If I blow it, but then I only add I blew it not…

How about over 60 with 100 lbs to lose. I am also wearing my fitbit on my ankle. My goals are to Lose weight, keep BS in range, build Stamina. Little by little. Last week m goal was to walk to 2 mail boxes with my overweight Chihuahua who has Cushings disease. This week I am up to 3 1/2 mail boxes. woohooo. Next, I am…

I was getting discouraged by the fact that I was never able to complete my day until the next day. It actually made me not even want to log. A friend told me - Set the day so you have a plan, complete the day early, then make changes at the end of the day or even the next day as needed. This way I felt better, and I had a…

Increasing my fitbit steps bit by bit. First - I wear my fitbit on my ankle so it counts all steps. Second - I walk first thing in the morning before breakfast. That way it is done and I do not have to worry about it. I set small goals each day. Then increase it little by little when I feel able. Example, first day walk to…

I am heavier now than ever before in my life. Being an older adult and this heavy, makes life very difficult to move. But If I do not move, or make some changes I will not be able to move at all, sooner rather than later. Beginning of this week I weighed in at 276, Today 274. I am setting small goals, but achievable.…

My Cardiologist gave me this recipe. I have used it for years and it works. see my additions for flavor: --- 1/2 Atkins shake cold about 5.5 oz (my addition) --- 6 oz unsweetened Almond Milk (my addition) 1 tsp glucomannan / Konjac root 1 tsp psyllium husk powder 1 tsp acacia fiber 1 tsp inulin powder --- 1 tsp collagen…

I know everyone has to find what works for them. I am a lot older than most here. I am also very fluffy. I have had weight issues since my first surgery in 85. I have tried many things. As far as weighing goes, here is what works for me. If I weight once a month, I gain. If I weight once a week, I gain. If I weight once a…

I might try this. I wish the May sheet had it by days. I might be looking at the wrong thing. Never mind I made my own spread sheet for all 31 days. It also included Blood Sugar tracking.

I do all my tracking via the Web. When will MFP do net carb tracking on the Web? Yes, I can do math but, seeing things in red makes me feel like I have failed. Yes, I am OCD. I prefer MFP, but might have to choose a different log. I have premium.

This is now my new daily affirmation

Just started on this thread. My macros have been set by my cardiologist Dailie macros need to be as close to these numbers as I can get them. So my goal is to not go over them. I do not have a weight goal other than one day to be under 150. This time last year after all my tests he said my heart was like an 82 year old. I…

I like a miniature taco salad that has no carbs. Ie: cooked hamburger meat, lettuce, tomato, onions, salsa. Mix it all up and eat. make it delicious- add garlic to hamburger meat and some cheddar cheese, cook and serve with the salad. yummy

Harrismazz, I understand how that can happen. Are you tired of being on a diet? Is it because you are trying and nothing is happening? Not sure of the reason why you are feeling this way. However, if it is because you are tired of being on a diet, then you are going about it the wrong way. I am not on a diet, I am changing…
