I have occasionally gone to Mad Greens; this is a restaurant in Colorado, perhaps many other places. I like their grain bowls and I went to their website to find their ingredients and now make them at home. I found that the varieties of Kroger brand salad dressings include some that are very close to the dressings that Mad…

Thanks, Becca Boo. I really liked your snack ideas; I will definitely use them. I have changed from breakfast being oatmeal and cottage cheese to a 3-egg white omelet with various veggies/mushrooms. I normally eat a lot of veggies, so I do get a lot of fiber. I really know the only way for me to lose weight is to count…

Continued wrong direction... 11-1. 145.2 lbs 11-8. 146.2 lbs 11-15. 146.5 lbs As @faurotann said above, some serious mental adjustments are needed. At times, many times for me, losing weight is more of a mind game than a physical game. I haven't been able to get my head back in the game for about a month now. This is…

@AnnPT77 Buying Gouda today in support of your healing! They say that bacon makes everything better, but I have always thought that was true of cheese. Please continue getting better and do it soon.

@AnnPT77 Hope all goes well for you and you are home soon!

I thought I would report in. I re-read my last note and am disgusted that I continue to bounce around 145 lbs. I weighed in this morning at 145....I looked it up to be accurate and I actually weighed in at 144.7 lbs. So, although not 145 point something, the weight is still around 145 lbs. I keep trying to go back to…

@Divine_Progress How are you coming on your very impressive goals. I just Googled shoulder taps; that looks really hard!

@tziviyaabisch2007 I also like to taste my salad dressing and probably enjoy a bit more of it on my salad than others. I don’t know if this brand is available where you live, but I like the brand Skinnygirl. My favorite is the balsamic vinegar. I have made my own and have tried to make it with lower calories, meaning more…

Beyond amazing! You certainly have your head in the game! Congratulations!

OK, another round... 11-1. 145.2 lbs This will be a difficult round for me. It encompasses Thanksgiving (US), Christmas, and a week-long mid-January trip to the beach. I am on another 4-day trip, more local trip, over Thanksgiving. My plan is to log every day, excluding the two trips and two days for Christmas. Although I…

And this is coupled…

I think being able to do Physio exercises in the gym and swimming is awesome especially with what you’ve gone through. Mfp can help you with the diet. You can do this!

If ‘recovery takes ages’, and by this, I’m guessing that you mean two or three days, you may want to ease up on your exercise a bit until you are used to it.

@Divine_Progress I am so glad you joined our group; I just stumbled upon your comment. I will bookmark this new thread of yours and follow your progress. I'm guessing your challenge is to work up to or to do these exercises each day? My knees don't bother me unless I do squats, lunges, or jogging. Other than that, they are…

Sounds good. You may wish considering seeing your family doctor for a baseline health check along with some blood tests to ensure that you’re not deficient in any needed vitamins, etc.

Sounds good! What are your initial ideas?

lololol. OK, evidently I can’t look at numbers and figure them out. My comments and the numbers above do not make sense. I double checked my typing and the numbers are correct; I guess I just felt so badly about overeating the last couple days, I just figured I went up in weight. I can provide no explanation from my…

I gained a bit due to eating more than my calorie budget over the last two…

Model BG260R. I think it is a zero, not the letter ‘O’, but not sure. $20.99 (USD). Hope it helps.

The trip to Germany was wonderful. Our DIL is wonderful! We had already met her when she and our son visited a bit ago. They are in Bavaria (SE Germany) and most of her family and friends came to the wedding in traditional Bavarian clothing (drindles and lederhosen). So awesome! We saw a lot of the countryside and it is…

You are doing so much work! Be sure not to go overboard. It sounds like you are really going through a lot, health-wise. I hope everything gets figured out and your health improves. My husband has an autoimmune disease and it is not fun when he has a flare. Understatement. Balancing blood sugar is difficult (speaking from…

@beccaboo1276414 Is Morticia/Tish locked out of mfp? If so, I hope it is a technical issue which can be resolved soon!

I wanted to get back to this thread to share my experience with my new scale. I purchased a Renpho scale and replaced one that was Etekcity. I understand what you refer to as fake repeatability, @PAV8888 ; I thought the Etekcity scale was doing that. It was just too unbelievable that day-after-day my weight would be…
