Disappointed

Guess op means naturally curly/textured hair... if so I would say head over to the forums on NaturallyCurly.com!

I have had this happen, too! When I went back and looked at my HR data, (FitBit Charge HR2), I could see my HR increasing for several days (3) before the first cold symptoms started, and HR peaked around day 3-4 of being sick (likely a respiratory virus, I was told by my Dr.), slowly returned to baseline, but it took in…

Go to Runner’sWorld.com... they have a great page that will tell you what to wear based on several factors.

Yup- there is no bad weather, just bad clothes :-) but stay off ice!! Most of those clothes can be expensive but you can find deals all the time- thrift, eBay, online, clearance sections... It’s well worth the cost to have a top, an outer layer (light), pants/leggings, socks & hat & gloves. You will warm up in 5-10 minutes…

Seriously: it’s free to try on new or thrifty clothes, so do it

Carrot Soufflé: I like maple syrup, real butter, & might try almond flour instead of wheat flour this year- http://healthnutfoodie.com/2010/09/maple-carrot-souffle-cups.html

If I'm looking for a recipe (a former daily hobby, now almost a vague memory, lol): Now I look specifically for recipes that include the nutritional info so at least I know what I'm in for before I sit down & enter everything (and then change it to fit what I want it to be!). Yeah, I can make a baked chicken breast and…

To get the results I want, I will need to push myself much harder than I expected, for WAYYY longer than I thought it would take! (Or "Weight Loss: It's Not a Race", my memoir, lol!) (Thought a trainer I had an intro session with was NUTS when he told me it would take 12+ months to go from an obese 227 lb couch potato/high…

I know I drink more when I use my Contigo bottles (sippy type of straw) vs a regular type of bottle or a glass, especially when it's chilled/has ice.

Dorm life was the only time I lost weight without "dieting" purposely IN MY ENTIRE LIFE... Meal plans & no money (and working a few nights a week) for me meant I HAD to eat the 3 meals a day I was paying $$$$ for, with NO snacks (maybe I swiped an apple or a yogurt here or there, lol!). I only ate at restaurants once a…

OK, tough love: You do NOT need garcinia & ACV, unless you like wasting your money. Are you a post-op bariatic? If not, then why are you torturing yourself?? You can eat whatever you like- make it fit in your calories (just like a bank account!) Buy a food scale. Use it & log everything, everyday, even if you binge/eat too…

Was engaged to someone- he definitely “supported” my need to lose weight by telling me what time of day- never after 6pm, eat upon waking & every 2-3 hours, always eat fruit in the car on way to/from work, what size meal- same as he ate, or less , how many fruits&vegs: 10, NO treats allowed, CICO disbeliever, etc. Ge also…

I'm 5'4"& 42, so older, I'm afraid! SW: 227 CW: 175 GW: 165 ?? I eat between 1300 - 1500 a day at the moment use IIFYM (I eat whatever I want, weigh & log, and do not exclude any food groups). I do workout :smile:

You really need to be eating a LOT more... You should be aiming for the calories MFP tells you, not less. You WILL crash & burn (or have other consequences, medically) if you are really eating 500-800 calories a day :disappointed: : There is a TON of information on this site (see the "stickies"- read them!) Good luck…

Was there a reason why no-one called the police to report the incident, though (even if the alleged driver was sorry and stayed to help)? Isn't that the right thing to do? (I witnessed a car accident once and called 911 before I could even get out of my car to see if the lady was ok (her car tipped over/low speed/stuff…

Oats w pumpkin, vanilla, pumpkin pie spice. One I want to try soon: place 1 slice of ham in each muffin tin cup, fill with egg & veggie (ok, cheese, too!) and bake! Dave's killer bread with cream cheese, topped with fruit; protein waffles/pancakes using Quest unflavored (bc I don't like them too sweet- I want the maple…

PSA- do not even think about wearing any color other than black leggings (or prints) if you sweat a lot in the groin area, ladies... I witnessed a few embarrassing situations recently, so now I ONLY wear my grey leggings or prints for gentle yoga, leisurely hikes, or around the house, NOT for serious workouts wear I will…

Not empty calories... Pumpkin has a lot of vitamins & minerals, not just carbs & water: http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/2602/2

Brooks running shoes (ghost!!) Heinz ketchup Zappos for shoes! Neutrogena anti-wrinkle cream

You CAN do this!!! It’s NOT hopeless:-) And you’re right- you need to take action now bc it becomes even harder on your body as you age. Even losing 10% of your body weight will make you feel SO much better. You need to get a digital food scale, if you don’t have one from before. You need to eat the calories the app allows…

Get well soon :-)

Orthorexia, maybe?? systematically avoiding foods one believes is harmful... I’m not a dr, but it sounds to me like you are scared of carbs at the moment... your body needs carbs & sugars for your brain (and other organs!) to function, just like your body needs a range of vitamins, electrolytes, proteins, amino acids,…

Bale gave & Feetures feel SO good! I’m always happy when I put them on :-)

You’ll probably feel up for it relatively quickly, BUT you won’t be able to do anything where you need to put pressure on your hand for weeks to months. You will prob not want to put boxing gloves on or punch bags for months, but cardio kickboxing (no impact) will be ok in 8-12 weeks, I would guess?? Follow dr’s orders -…

Avocado oil is better/more stable for cooking @ higher temps than olive oil. Olive oil is better for topping already cooked foods (salads, etc). I’m Greek; olive oil is in my blood, lol

Gotta ask: are you weighing everything you eat and are you eating any exercise calories?

5’4”... increased mine & went from overweight (old) to morbidly obese (new). I call bs :-1:

Another sweet potato “hot salad”... roast or sauté them (diced) & add whatever: I like black beans or white beans, corn, avocado, salsa (for a “dressing”). I also add some protein sometimes- pepperoni or chorizo, cooked shrimp or chicken is good! :-) I made something similar last night!

I can’t stand 99% of the larger clothes, but am partial to a couple of t-shirts & 1-2 sweaters... everything else makes me actually feel super gross to wear!! Donated most, and my 3 best friends are gaining from having babies atm so I’m going to see if they want any coats, etc. before I donate those. I even can’t stand my…
