Oats lots of different dried fruits coconut oil salted butter nuts vanilla some water to make it moist Grind up in a food processor, use a small cookie scoop, baked them at 350 degrees F for 15 mins

Cardio?

OP I can't dx you but heelpain sounds like heelspurs &/or Plantar Fasciitis which I had for 20 years. It was literally the reason I gained all the weight in the first place! This is what I did, IDK if this will work for you: spent tons on shoes, so my rec is to get some Hoka One Ones bc they have "maximalist cush" - they…

I totally agree with you! Playing piano, singing, doing music DOES work off cals! I would prob use my Apple Watch to see what the calorie burn was (under "other" or sth like that). Agree with doing exercise DAILY is a huge key to maintaining - also losing weight, particularly cardio of some sort. Have a great weekend!

I'm not calorie counting, I did it before & I just hated it. I did lose 40+ pounds here in the past by doing it. This time I'm eating brunch & dinner, no dessert except 1 mochi & lots of fruit, + making sure I go to the bathroom all the time & I'm doing Just Dance for 2 hours a day & I'm losing weight. Just Dance is…

As far as ab workouts, imhoJeff from Athlean-X on youtube is probably one of the best out there, check this out https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=8jyhJ6TiUPA

I clicked on the MFP blog she linked to, and she said she went to the gym 3-4 days a week, 2 hrs each time, and was eating 1200 cals a day. She went down from 260 to 199 in 4 months doing that & she started off with cardio, so gym, doing cardio 4x per week & 1200 cals. IMHO, Cardio for 2 hours = 800-1000+ cals so right…

Awesome weight loss!

I’m obese, I’m currently 260/261ish. I’ve lost 5-6 pounds in the last few weeks. Here’s what is working for me, I’m doing Just Dance between 2.5-3+ hours a day. I’m not ounting cals. I eat a large brunch & a large dinner, no sweets. My snack is popcorn (31 cals air popped + 1 tsp of salted butter). Today I did 3+ hours of…

Aww don’t give up!! Also re: Valentine’s Day, I didn’t even MEET my husband till I was 41! Sometimes it takes a LONG time to meet someone! The boobs shrinking imho is great, seriously. They’re no longer in the way. Mine are still 40J. I wish I were a B they would not get in the way & I’d be able to tie my shoelaces, which…

That’s the truth, the real truth - ps pls friend me, ty.

Good for your weight loss, you’re doing great! I’m using Just Dance at home and today did 3 hours+ of a workout & and burned off over 1k in cals.

Just looked, they do look cute. I’m so jealous of UK & EU clothing, so much CUTER than here in the USA.

I love my Apple watch! Besides the fact that I have a serious nickel allergy I was able to get the rose watch & cloth band, I can’t wear any other fitness tracker. I just wrote on my page what my stats are from my watch & phone, perhaps this will help you decide? Everything below is from my watch, my watch & phone are also…

Popcorn & i put a tiny 1 tsp of MELTED salted butter on it. It’s fiber!!! And low cal! 1 tsp butter=35 cals, air-popped popcorn is 31 cals per cup. And it will fill you up!!! AND, popcorn is actually a superfood bc of all the good things in it. https://healthline.com/nutrition/popcorn-nutrition-and-health#section3

You or anyone can add me if you like. I’m just recently back too, but I still have my same acct! I’m pretty motivated, I’m doing Just Dance 2x or more a day!

Hi Liam, you can follow me if you like. I too have a super large tummy. I am finding that cardio seems to help bring it down, I’m doing Just Dance with my husband daily & there’s been some movement. I don’t drink & I’m making sure I go, all the time, I even made some “cookies” to make me “go” if you know what I mean.

Hey, pls friend me, I have the same problem!!!

All I know is that cardio is amazing for reducing weight! Good for you for running 5x a week! If you’re running 2-5k on each of those days I would not go down to 1200 a day. It seems that 1200 a day is for super sedentary people. You might lose 10# a month doing what you do. It really depends on your particular body & how…

IDK if you can afford health ins in the USA but there’s also doctorondemand.com which are real physicians who will see you via your phone or ipad for less than the cost of a visit. However, just thinking about this, your best bet is to see someone in real life who can do some tests on you, so that’s prob your best bet. GL.

I’m looking for friends, I’m 59, I’ll be 60 this year, and I’m back at MFP in the same acct! Feel free to add me!! I do a lot of Just Dance in case anyone else is doing that too!

Hey I’ve been here for years, I’m older than you, I have even MORE to lose, pls friend me if you like! I’m actually “just coming back”

Have you considered a good chiropractor for this? I just saw my great chiro on Thursday & he cleared me up of several painful things I had. According to this, a chiro can treat you for piriformis syndrome. https://isischiropractic.co.uk/chiropractic_back_pain_piriformis_syndrome.html

Pls add me, i’m motivated, I’ve been here a while, couple of years lol

IDK if they have .5 pound ones, but I use them at home when I’m doing Just Dance daily. I love it & I bought mine really cheap at Target &, they’re pink & that’s a bonus for me! ;)

Hi Mona, just want to say that I was you, am still you but now I’m doing cardio in the VERY FUN FORM of Just Dance every day. I’m also injury prone, etc. Well we started off with doing 1 song a day, prob in December. Now we’re up to 2 hours a day, 1 hour in the am 1 in the pm (8 pm). Is your partner a gamer? My husband…

I am constantly constipated too. So is my husband. And so *was* his father who is gone now. I blame the cancer of the liver that killed him on constipation. He was constipated for weeks. So, although that’s extreme pls do sth about this now. I actually make what I call “poo cookies” using a modified Aussie Bites recipe but…

OP, if you’re using a cardio machine to calculate your cal burns it will not be accurate. I recommend getting an Apple watch to calculate your cal burns much more accurately. Like ninerbuff said above you’re not burning 800 to 1000 cals in the gym in one hour. It’s not possible. I do 2+ hours of cardio every single day & I…

I have hip bursitis, check this interesting link out on comments from sufferers say about hip bursitis https://medicinenet.com/hip_bursitis/patient-comments-530.htm Yesterday I went to the chiro & I honestly feel better. Hope this helps & GL. I was able to do my 1 hour of dancing to Just Dance last night.

My mother fed me tv dinners & frozen food all the time & I was totally skinny then. I was allowed ice cream after dinner. I went out and played a lot tho.
