Infused water is great! Besides cucumbers, consider (fresh) lemon, lime, orange, pineapple and cinnamon sticks!

One program I used (and still use daily) suggested 2 hard boiled eggs, slice in half, with a small spread of real butter (totaling 1 tsp) on each yoke, and a small fruit (apple, half banana, etc)... is good balanced meal of protein, fat, and carbs to start a day... and for about 3 months now, it's worked for me, and I…

Welcome! Yes, it is going to be (a bit) tough... but it is also going to be REWARDING each week when you look at the scale, or in the mirror, and see the evolution of a NEW YOU! Stick with the food logging, eat smart, use the extra calories earned because of exercise, keep well hydrated, come here when you need a boost...…

I just reread your post... one suggestion I found that might benefit you as a substitute for soda: Get a few cheap 2-3 quart water containers (maybe the the $ Store)... and create "infused" water. At first I thought this was a bit silly, but cold, these really are refreshing. To about 2 quarts of water, about about 1/4 cup…

Good Morning, Jay and anyone else who comes here, Thank you for the friend invite. As might be insinuated from my earlier entry, at my age, I am retired. Being weak of mind, in the past I have gone on these multiple roller coasters of weight loss / gain. Sometimes for valid (well rationalized?) reasons, other times, just…

I agree with Loug1983, you are trying to accomplish A LOT of change, and hold a hope that the resultant expectations will be in direct proportion to the effort you are putting forth. Unfortunately, our body and…

One other idea, from a popular maintenance program... mix 6 eggs, cup of whole milk, 3 oz grated cheese, half cup of mixed veggies... mix well... use cooking spray on a 12 count nonstick cupcake pan... fill each cake area evening... season to taste...bake at 350 until set (about 20 minutes)... and you have 12 tidbits that…

Hello Jay, sincere wishes for a great comeback. I am a 66 year old man who, like yourself, was here before, evaporated for a while, and have recently returned. I agree, MFP is a great way to assist our nutritional goals. One thing, that if you didn't know, you might find helpful, both in healthy time, and other. One study,…

Two potential choices, both are normally considered "healthy" when made with proper ingredients... and could actually be done the night before in crock pot / slow cooker... Chili or Beef Stew If you want to add some calories, include a nice french bread or such to suck up the gravy.

One quick thought... if you feel some form of peer pressure (for lack of a better phrase), and need some validated support to NOT drink... establish yourself as the group DESIGNATED DRIVER... you then can be expected to eat and drink more responsibly... and you might just help yourself and friends avoid uncomfortable…

Hello everyone, especially all you water drinkers... keep that water as ice water... I know I saw someplace there is a formula which is more specific... but you will burn a few more calories (and I mean very single-digit few) bringing that water down to normal body temperature... but do that with 64 ounces of water a…
