Or you can say, "you can bite this big butt". But I tend to get snarky when someone is a complete *kitten*.

Hypothyroid is a real medical issue, diagnosed through blood work by a medical doctor. If you've never had it, you don't know how awful it can make you feel.

I have Lupus and Rheumatoid arthritis. Any of you feel free to add me and we can make this journey together.

And here I thought I was the only person who couldn't keep them in the house. Lolol!

I'm one of those who is scratching my head about not losing. I've been doing this for 70 days. I log everything and measure portions. I lost 5 pounds immediately and have not lost anything since. I used MFP to calculate my calories based on 1 pound per week. I would be happy for you to look at my diary over the past 2…

Premier Protien shakes in a bottle are good. They come in many flavors and have 30 grams of protien.

Wow! Not a lightbulb moment. More like an iron skillet to the head moment! I'm really impressed with what you've accomplished so far. You cans and WILL reach your goal. Good luck to you! ❤️️

What kind of workouts for 30 minutes? Cardio? Weight training? What? I can see quite a difference. Good for you!

One year ago today we lost this beautiful boy.

I am a peanut butter addict for sure. I eat it every single day no matter what. My husband keeps telling me if I would stop eating it I would drop weight. But it's like a drug to me. I LOVE it!

Mary I'm so sorry your family has gone through such a loss. I don't think you ever really come to grips with losing a child or grandchild. But you find a way to keep moving. It's wonderful that your SIL is able to help others through such a tragic loss. And it DOES help to talk to someone whom you know understands exactly…

Ladies, I had a very unusual day yesterday. I had made a hair appointment at a new salon with somebody I knew nothing about. It was close to my home. In the past year since my grandson's death, I have not been to get ANYTHING done to my hair at all. One full year! It had gotten very long, to my boobs, and nearly all white.…

I was a teen in the 70's. My mother cooked and we ate at home. She didn't fix prepacked food for convenience and it was meat and vegetables. And whatever she fixed, you ate it or did without. Eating out was a treat and it was RARELY crap. Kids were outside running and playing instead of sitting inside playing video games.…

I'm post menopausal and my hormones have left the building. But I still have the sweats and 60 pounds to lose.

Actually I went down because of both strength and pain. I've had 3 shoulder surgeries including one full shoulder replacement. That shoulder I never got full range of motion back so can't raise that arm but part way up. I also have Rheumatoid arthritis so putting so much weight on my arms killed my joints. I'm just not…

Great job!! I'm 5'8" so I guess that's short comparatively. Ha!

I focus on calories. I don't worry about macros and just try to eat a balanced diet.

No calories in unsweet tea.

Yep! This has been the most stressful year of my entire life and I ate and ate. I'm trying to lose what I gained plus the extra I was already lugging around. I suggest having some low calorie snacks around for when you need to munch. At least the stress eating can be something healthy. Plus exercise is a great stress…

You already seem to be getting a good grasp on things that trigger you and not to do. Stick to those and by all means stay off the scale. Binge eating can be akin to binge drinking. It's a way to cope with stressors. Not a healthy way, but what some people do. My best advice is to find a therapist who knows how to work…

I've done it before and it really worked for me. That was many years ago. I'm just having trouble making myself do it this time. Give it go and see what happens. You have nothing to lose but fat!

Is there a specific kind of yoga that you do? My hubby bought me a yoga video to work out to that he said was beginner. I did fine until I had to go from being on my hands and knees to lifting up my behind and on my tiptoes from that position, in one smooth move. I went down like a box of rocks! Didn't know whether to…

I'm 61 and I'm fighting it too. Of course we age, but we don't have to lie down and wait to die. I have joint issues so I'm trying to find exercises that I can do to be fit and stay active. I'd be happy to have another friend that feels and thinks like I do!!

Good for you Katey! Quitting smoking is huge. I quit a 2 pack a day habit 21 years ago. You are looking great, too. If you don't mind having Grandmother friends, send me a friend request. I'm active with logging and commenting and changing my lifestyle too!

Ladies this week is going to be a very emotional and trying one for me. May 9th is my son's 38th birthday and he's incarcerated. May 11th is the first anniversary of my grandson's death. It's still so hard. May 13th is Mother's Day. At this point my daughter is estranged from us since her son died, so neither of my…

Susie turning 50 hurt my feelings so bad! 40 didn't and 60 didn't. But then my 50's were just great years. Embrace it and keep saying 50 is the new 30!

I don't remember if this diet had a name that many years ago. It was before Atkins. Do you?

Are you male or female? How old? Do you workout? If female, how many babies have you had? Lots of factors to consider.

Deplete, not replenish.

You body can get overly hydrated with too much water. hyponatremia, or sometimes called water toxicity. Too much water can replenish the salt in your body to a dangerous level. People have actually died from it.
