Yesterday the husband did a fireman carry because I lazily asked him to carry me to bed! He had zero problems! 5'3" 150 ish lbs. This is a huge NSV for us, because in 2003 when I was morbidly obese 3 (270 pounds) I was in the garage with him in our new home and I had a grand mal seizure. He felt helpless because he…

Went to the Dr. and when it comes to bloodwork I am doing great! My sugar, cholesterol (he was really impressed with these numbers I guess because of my age), and bp are awesome. I was a little concerned about sugars because I tend to overdo sugars with *nom nom nom* fruit. But the Dr. said that for me, "you can have as…

@pamperedlinny yummy!! that looks soo good! Also I know that muscle weighs more than fat, and so if you build muscle it takes up less space. But when it happens to me, that is different. I think that since I spent a large amount of time losing weight, all of a sudden gaining when I am getting smaller is freaking me out a…

Anyone else have insanity issues driven by hormones? I thought I would be angry, and have mostly been sad but sometimes I really have a distorted view of reality. P.S. when I was a kid I thought for sure I would be one of those dish wielding matrons... evidently I will have to constantly apologize until I can get past the…

@sandirice5343 Way to crush it! Do you listen to music to pace? I have thought about that. I don't normally jog either, although I am currently capable for the first time since my teens. Also, I am about to look up "nature walks" on youtube from that other poster that mentioned that kind of thing. I had never even thought…

Something old is new again! I enjoyed reading the responses and connecting with others anyway! The last time I tried to rebound, I was too obese for any of the rebounding thingys... GUESS WHAT??? I am not too obese anymore!! So now because of that response I can consider asking the hubby for a rebounder for some crazy fun…

The floor inside your home: the poor person's treadmill. Yep, don't bother spending money on this it takes up space and you can literally do the same thing without it! I started walking around the neighborhood and built up to 5 miles every day (took 2.5 hours with the dog), and slowly because my older dog likes to take…

A long time ago there was a game/thread about "what is your favorite part of the body" I was probably 265 at the time, and I put: skeleton! Because seriously, if you can't appreciate your skeleton you would be a skin bag of goo. Might still be my fav part of the body.. It is a tough call btw brain, heart, and skeleton…

It is mentioned here. Just a few pages ago someone was complaining about the face wrinkles... aka facial skin sag. I have heard turkey neck thrown in here and there from a few. I think I have read a few hundred pages on this thread and it is actually mentioned quite a bit. I will never forget the day I realized that If I…

@BartBVanBockstaele "how do people who are being fed an energy deficient diet gain weight?" For me, when I was in an energy deficit and took prednisone I gained weight. It took about a month, but I am almost certain that at least 7 lbs of that was water. When time was factored in, it did come off. But to the disinterested…

You might also want to search "diet breaks" in the community. This thread has been going on a while.. maybe start at page 200 instead of 1.. https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10604863/of-refeeds-and-diet-breaks/p1 I am trying to find the article where they put a group of people on a deficit for 10 weeks and…

I definitely did it in phases. This works well for me for many reasons, one of which is so important to me: Maintenance is a skill that I will need for the rest of my life. I started MFP in 6/2013 5'3" female 277 pounds ((current weight is 147 and I have a few lbs to go)) I am often very sick with autoimmune type diseases,…

@KacyCarpe Is there any kind of treatment for leaky gut? Or is it another one of those diagnoses with no treatments?

@BeeHapppy101 I like stevia sweeteners the best, I realize that isn't for everyone. But once you give up sugar, over time you will tolerate other sweeteners better. One lent, I didn't have sodas and I was sooo looking forward to my fav soda, only to find out that I didn't like it anymore. Taste bud reset I call it. It has…

My NSV is since October has begun, and the parade of food holidays is on our door I made an interesting decision that I did not see coming: More vegetables! I was trying to see where I can fit in some favorite planned out candy, and decided that something that would make this so much easier is more vegetables. In fact, I…

@BeeHapppy101 regarding creamers: I agree with @pamperedlinny. I have a bunch of no calorie sweeteners, there are ohhh so many! I also skip the milk or half and half, because I am a cafe latte kinda gal and instead use almond milk @ 30 calories per 8oz. Also, I like to get sweet coffee beans, like "cinnamon bun" or "dulce…

I think I am going to follow Bonnie’s lead, and add 3 servings of fruit/vegetables per day. Thank you for being a great example Bonnie! When I have a goal, it makes it easier for me to focus on and pay attention to. I guess you can’t hit a target if you don’t aim.. I have been trying to study what I was doing differently…

On my walk today I saw two jack-o-lanterns at one of the playgrounds (on my 5 mile walk). I had to wonder if a fastidious mom was like, "Look, imma get you some pumpkins but you CANNOT make the jack-o-lanterns here and make a mess in MY yard!" Oddly enough, they left the jacks on the picnic table. It just kind of cracked…

There is a lady…
