Thank you!

Would a low carb - ketoish a suggested plan for higher protein intake?

Thank you for your responses. All good..... I forget sometimes I didn't get this way overnight. I'll make a plan to be consistent with nutrition and exercise and patience.

Thanks all, for your insightful comments. My problem, I believe, is not looking at this as a life changing journey, but as a diet which denies me. I am ready for the journey now, and you've all given me quite a bit food for thought. I think the bottom line is caloric deficit with healthy choices and keeping the carbs low,…

Good morning - Thanks ladies! I should have stayed in the group. I am REstarting TODAY and not MONDAY :) ! and I will stop thinking about the rules and just do it! Have a great day! <3

Hi all! It's been a long while since I've been here. I've been backslidden'. I'm trying so hard to get back on track. I start my new life-changing diet every Monday. It would be hilarious if it weren't so ridiculous! :'(

I'm in! Currently at 224.5; goal 199.5

@ health_guard - Doin' the dance! LOL

Hi everyone! Happy Friday afternoon! Yesterday was my birthday and it was a good day, especially because I stayed within my points. The weekend is still going to be a challenge though. Tonight my FIL is taking me and DH to dinner. I chose Applebees because it has a WW menu. I already looked at the menu and know what I'm…

Good Morning! Running late... I'll come back later. Have a great day!

Although it was hump day, it was a good day! Hi Ladies! The weather was so beautiful that on my way home I stopped at the track and walked. My total steps for the day was +4157 (I say plus because I didn't have my phone on me most of the day). Although, my ankle is screaming at me, I still feel good because I did it. I'm…

Good morning and Happy Tuesday! I'm on my way on to work. I'll check in again a little later! Make this a great day!

Sorry ladies... one more thing... What type of steps tracker do you use? My phone tracks, but I most of the time I don't wear pockets so, I am not using it. Thanks.

@cbabie - Funny how I am not allergic all nuts. I can do peanuts (which I found are not nuts at all), I can do cashews, almonds and pistachios. Those are the only ones. Nuts are so healthy and I feel like I'm missing out. :)

Happy Monday! Thank you all for the well wishes concerning my allergy issue. It was a pretty bad one and I'm just happy I didn't end up in ER. When I was a kid I would go to school and someone would give me a cookie (didn't have enough sense to ask if there were any nuts in it) and the school would have to give my mom a…

Hi Ladies! I had a severe allergic reaction to a small piece of walnut and it pretty much wiped me out. I'm allergic to most nuts. Still not feeling well today, but just wanted to stop by to let you know that I'm thinking of you. Hope all is well with you all!

TGIF Ladies! A pretty uneventful day, even though I couldn't get up on time to go to work. I had every intention to be early, but just could not get it together. I am not a breakfast person, so I try to eat around 9:30. Today I forgot to eat, so by lunch I was starving. I did not bring my lunch today and I did not want…

Happy Thursday Evening! Thanks ladies for the smoothie recipes. This will work to get me out of the dulldrums. Today I had a pretty decent breakfast - an sunny side up egg (microwaved), toast and 3 slices of already cooked bacon. I usually eat oatmeal in the mornings. Didn't try to walk today although I can feel my ankle…

Hi Ladies.... A crazy day it was! Had a huge urge for Grandy's chicken nuggets, french fries and coleslaw for lunch. I could actually taste it. I convinced myself that if I didn't eat it now, I would do worse later, so it was okay for me to be satisfied. Well, the line was too long and I had to go to the next eatery and…

Good morning ladies! We have grown in the habit of putting ourselves last and as Slightedge says, what if..... This past year has been a roller coaster for me, as well. My dh had been in the hospital for 20 weeks and the drs didn't think he would make it. I was so exhausted running back and forth to the hospital and I…

Monday morning and a clean slate with new mercies! I am so thankful to see it! Cbabie thanks for the encouragement - I am motivated and I can do this! I can walk for 21 days and post for 21 days! Slightedge - Dr says when I'm through with the meds and if the swelling is still there to call and arrange for an mri. The…

Hi Ladies, I know I said this before (probably last week), I am starting over....again! This has been a crazy few months with 2 out-of-state family reunions, parents visiting from GA for a few weeks, kids and g-kids coming and going and also working most of the time. Don't get me wrong, I am not complaining; I had a blast…

Just checking in to say good morning. Lot's of things going on today so I'll come back later. Have a great day! :) PS. I have a personal challenge today. My parents are here from Atlanta. I haven't seen them in a few years. So it's all good. Well, my son, a chef is coming over today to prepare a special meal for his…

Hi All! I've been away for awhile vacationing and enjoying family I haven't seen in years. Good food and good company. Needless to say, I've been very lax in keeping it all together. Yesterday, I watched a video of the events of the family reunion and saw just how "wide" I really was. An eye opener to say the least. I am…

Hey Ladies! So far so good this week. Left my pity party and started making changes. Did not meet but one of my goals for Monday and that was tracking a FULL day. It was pretty difficult, but easier today. I noticed that all though I am within my caloric allowance, the choices I made were not so good. Gotta get better.…

Good morning! - Thank you Dankas and Theslightedge for listening - it's good to know I am not alone. It's kind of hard when the truth stares you in the face and you have to point your finger at yourself. Yesterday was a better day. It was also a weigh-in day and although I know I should have gained, I had a small loss :) .…

Hi all! Taking a moment to eat a "healthy" lunch (I was shamed into it by my boss). I had you all on my mind today (kind of down in the dumps). Last night my DH (I think that means Dear Husband (at least I hope that's what it means. lol)) watched me down my meds for the night. He quietly said "Don't take this the wrong…

Good evening all! I had a very early morning and couldn't check in. It has been a very trying work week (and it's only Tuesday). I'm trying to stay positive though. I missed my water intake goal yesterday by 1 glass. Can you believe that! I couldn't even get anyone to pour the last 8 ounces down my throat :D. Today was a…

Good morning all! Cbabie I had a great weekend and hope yours was good as well! The kids and g-kids came by after church and we went to visit my MIL... it's her 83rd birthday. The look on her face when she saw everyone was priceless. Well, today is a new day and I've actually set a goal.... 8 glasses of water!!!!! I can do…

Good Morning All! I am am restarting for the umphteenth time with MFP and with WW. I am currently trying to decide if I should drop WW (on-line) and just stick with MFP. This has been a real up and down experience for me and right now I am at my wit's end. I really want/need this to work this time. I would love to be a…
