I am starting to do a few weights and a bit of cardio. I am doing a chair workout because of my arthritic knees. This is why I need to swim. Really cold here up in Central Canada.

I eat greek yogurt and I will go to our Superstore and try some Halo Top. I hear it is highly recommended. thank you.

When I think about it, my husband started the eating in fromt of the TV years ago. Our kids were at home then so I just said OK, if he is going to eat there we will too so we can be together. A big mistake. I am trying to change, bit by bit. I have lost a couple of pounds over the past few days just by coming here and…

This is true. I care for my grandaughters and my mom. My husband also has some health problems. I do put myself last. But I am going to start swimming soon. I can't really walk too much because of my kness but swimming is a great way for me to exercise. I am waiting for it to warm up a bit. And I do what I am doing right…

What about https://halotop.ca/ They sell Halo Top at the Real Canadian Superstore in Winnipeg. Go to this site and find the stores that carry it in your city.

I really enjoy the Subway Chopped Salad. I get the lettuce, tomato, cucumber and cheese with turkey and oil and vinegar dressing. Only 300 calories. Delicious and filling and you can pick your own toppings just like you do for the subs.

I buy Suzie's Organic Thin Cakes which are made with brown rice and quinoa. These are at Costco. They are so good with cheese, peanut butter, etc. Happy to see a Canadian thread.

I don't think I could eat all that at one meal. 1200 calories is a lot to eat at once. My system needs time to digest.

I think I have gotten myself under control. I also lost weight and put 20 pounds back on. I don't feel good with this extra weight so really want to get rid of it. I can try and do a few things at night. I sometimes fold laundry or play Wordsearch on my phone. I am going to try and get myself off the couch and do something…

This is probably my solution. I am usually busy during the day and really don't eat much. I think fasting is good for weight loss and my digestive problems. Thanks.

Sorry, but eating dinner alone isn't an option. We have been doing this for years. I am trying to tackle the after dinner snacking. That is my problem. I am going to set aside some calories for ONE snack and it can't be too late because of acid re flux. I think this should work. In theory, you are correct. But it is our…

d everyone. I think you have woke me up. Cheese and grapes is one of my favorite snacks. I also eat Lactose free yogurt and berries. Once in awhile I will eat one of the kids granola bars but I try not to because I have IBS. One of the snacks recommended on the FODMAP diet I follow for IBS is a banana and a little peanut…

I am always going over my sugar limit on MFP. It is mostly because of the fruit I eat. I am wondering if fruit should be counted as it has health benefits.

You could try the Low FODMAP diet. I follow it quite closely for my IBS. Take a look. https://www.medicinenet.com/low_fodmap_diet_list_of_foods_to_eat_and_avoid/article.htm

I am not sure exactly what else we could do at night. I enjoy my shows and look forward to the end of the day and sitting down and relaxing. Things like paying bills, cleaning the house etc. we do during the day. I also have to care for my 95 year old mother who lives in her house alone still. We also cart our…

I'd like to join this group. How does it work?

thanks. That is a good idea. I am not much of an eater duringf the day.

Itr would be difficult to stop eating in front of the TV because my husband and I have been doing this for years. It is our thing. At the end of the day we sit down in front of the TV and eat our dinner. I could say though, that after eating the meal, if I want a snack I need to go to the table and eat it and then I…

Yes I agree this is a good idea. Years ago when I was trying to quit smoking I told myself that I could do anything I wanted except smoke. It worked. I can't really exercise because of a mobility problem but I will try slowly to do a little. Every time I decide to exercise I end up in pain. I have been playing Worsearch on…

Well if it was that easy I would not be here asking for help.

Well I am glad I came here to vent. It really helped. Last night I had my last snack at about 8:00 and I was only 65 calories over my limit. This is a big accomplishment for me. To distract myself I did Wordsearch on my iphone while I was watching TV. That was just one night. But they say take it one day at a time and that…

Thinking about the abandonment issue I don't think that is true. I actually look forward to him leaving so I can watch my own shoes and have my little party. That is bad. We PVR everything so I just ff the commercials. Yikes! I really do have a problem.

Thanks for the suggestions. I think that my husband leaving either brings on a lonely feeling OR I just don't want to eat in front of him. Not sure. I think I will try leaving the kitchen clean-up until he leaves. Maybe that will break the tendency to eat. I also will make sure to leave calories for a night snack just in…

I just love roasted grape tomatoes. Just drizzle with olive oil and add salt pepper and basil if you like it. Roast for about 20 minutes depending on how cooked you like them. I like them a little bit crispy.

3 tablespoons olive oi, 1 tablespoon white vinegar, 1 teaspoon sugar, salt and pepper. Delicious on tossed salad. A little sugar won't hurt you. It's better than those high calorie creamy dressings. and tastes great.

I have trouble with constipation also because I have IBS. I use Benefiber everyday and if that does not work I take Restorealax for a couple of days. After that, I seem to be okay for awhile and when it gets bad again I repeat. For a person like me it is very important to keep ahead of it so I do not get another IBS attack.
