Who are OP? Think I will have tacos for dinner.

I also love Autumn, but I hate to see the summer go. No more shorts....and the cold weather is on its way. I do go more places in Autumn though because it is not hot! LOL :flowerforyou: Kathy

Hi Marcia, Thanks for your reply. I am finding other things that are from taking the Cardizem. I am not getting leg cramps and I am getting "stupid". Can't think straight and get confused easily. At 67 I don't need that. I think it is lowering my potassium and giving me leg cramps. I will look at the link. I have an…

Hi Jean, Maybe you need to shake things up a little. Change your diet. Eat more protein. Have fruit smoothies with protein powder. Do you drink a lot of water? I have been going to a nutritionist and the scale has not been moving down much for me but I don't exercise as I should. I just don't like it. I have noticed other…

Hi, Does anyone here take Cardizem CD for blood pressure? I recently started taking it and I think one of the side effects is weight gain along with other side effects. Can anyone help me wit this? I want to lose weight...not gain! Thanks! Kathy

I am sure we all have our own idiosyncrasies. I don't like going down a store aisle when other people are in it but I am getting over that. :blushing:

Jane Seymour Hope I am doing this correctly...

Hi Bob, Welcome to My Fitness Pal. I started with another site and my nutritionist suggested this site. I have found it very helpful. Easy to log the food. Everything is there so far for me. I have a lot of friends here and they are very supporting! Welcome! Kathy

califgirl, Just saw your post...lol. I was having a pity party but guess we all have those days. I was invited to a BBQ but it was someone that I don't really like so I opted not to go. I could have gone to fireworks by myself, but what fun is that. DH is getting old and doesn't like to go places much. My kids were all…

Hi Kathy, I know what you mean. I am logging everything I eat now and it amazes me how much I was eating. But is was not the right foods. I now eat more vegetables, but not enough. I am getting more fruit in by having smoothies. Do you like smoothies? I tried adding spinach to my last one and I also added frozen pineapple.…

I have been on the journey for 1 month now. I have only lost 3.2 lbs but I can feel the difference in my clothes!! Changing eating habits is really very hard for me. I really have to work on it. Exercise is very hard for me. I decided to walk at the local mall. I can two of the floors complete in 30 min. This is a great…

I started my journey early in June and it is July now. I did change my eating ways with he help of a nutritionist. I don't like to exercise because I am so out of shape that I get winded and out of breath very easily. I pulled out my WII Fit and saw that I was down from the last time I used it and found my BMI was down a…

Hi Angie, I am retired for almost a year now. Love it. I also take meds for BP and have diabetes. Would like to get off all my meds eventually. I have 8 grandkids. 6 boys and 2 girls. Kathy

Married for 45 years:love:

Thanks! I didn't even look for it but I wanted to know if I had to add something. :smile:

The nutritionist I am going to said I should be having at least 30-45 at each meal. The tracker gives me 199. I have not hit that # if I remember correctly.

That was a very cruel thing to say. He could have said it nicer.

Does anyone wait for marriage?

This looks like a fun group to be in. I am in Pennsylvania and it was hot today. I am trying to get over a cold. Still coughing a lot and have no energy. I am retired but I feel guilty when I play on the computer and take naps when I want. How does everyone get more energy? I was sick with a lingering cold back in March…

I was thinking of cleaning them and then freezing them to put in my smoothies later. Has anyone done this?

Yes, my grocery store had TastyKake pies on sale 10 for $10.00. Husband says, we don't need them. I said but I am going to have 1 and that is all. So I got the tasty-klaire pie and it was really good. And I did log it! If you don't give your self a little leeway....you might lose it all and eat everything in sight.

That smoothie sounds good. I don't like spinach so this would be a good way for me to eat it!

Congrats! You look amazing! I went to a nutritionist and she took a before picture of me. I am just starting out and I do see the scale going down a little. I have to remember not to weigh every day.....:( I need your motivation to inspire me!

I have been having a smoothie most days for lunch. I usually have a small banana, strawberries or blueberries, Greek plain yogurt and a tbsp. of peanut butter for protein. I does seem to hold me over until about 3 pm and then I have a package of almonds for a snack. I went to a nutritionist and she said the Greek yogurt is…

Hi, Do you have enough protein at dinner? I was really a bad late night snacker. I would keep eating till it was gone. I am eating more protein at dinner and if I still get hungry I have apples or celery with peanut butter and that really helps! Kathy
