As I read through these comments, I realize this. I am very insecure.

People who are only funny or tell jokes at the expense of other people.

I was lucky enough to visit your beautiful country earlier this year. I hope you are doing well and meeting your goals.

That's so sad. It yearns for more excitement. @kelleyhelm1 We use our instant pot to cook chicken ahead of time for other meals. This recipe works like a charm. You can substitute whatever spices you like. https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/a27211333/instant-pot-chicken-breasts-recipe/ We also make one pot meals…

Don't force yourself to ingest it just because you have been told to. Like @cwolfman13 said, eat more protein if that is your intended outcome. If you absolutely must have protein powder, find one you like.

I'm scratching my head at why a vegetarian came to a post called "Hunt". Did they think it was a thread about mushroom hunting? Even after they came in realized this wasn't a thread about foraging for wild beet root, they still felt it necessary to comment on their views about hunting. I have no problems with…

Montana is like no other place. I could hunt moose here but it just isn't the same as elk hunting in Montana. I also hunted deer and antelope but those were always made into sausage. I also miss Rainbow Trout and Brook Trout. Nothing better than trout cooked over an open fire. My husband is a lobsterman in Maine and I do…

It's been 30 years since I went hunting. I moved from Montana and miss the hunting there. One elk could easily feed my family for a year.

Great minds think alike. It made me laugh. You might be the one who taught me that trick years ago. It's a game changer.

I'm pretty sure I just said that but I forgot the "lick the spoon" detail.

Yes! Most people find they are overestimating what one tablespoon looks like. I found I was underestimating and I could eat a bit more. I find the easiest way to weigh it is to put the jar on the scale, set it to grams, tare, take out what I am eating and measure that way. The negative is the amount you log.

thank you @tinkerbellang83

No worries. I am an analyst and a number cruncher. It's my OCD brain. Not many understand my thought processes.

I realize that but I was looking for actual recipes that would look nice, taste good and fit her plan. I know what protein and carbs are. I didn't want to slap a slice of ham on one 1/4, a toasted English Muffin on another, then fill the rest of the plate with fruit and vegetables. I want a well balanced meal that is…

I'm planning a brunch for a dear friend and she is following the my plate diet right now. It's 25% protein, 25% complex carbs and 50% fruits and vegetables. I am playing with options to find the right breakdown to fit her diet. It's easier to do on the computer. Oh well, I think that a homemade turkey sausage and vegetable…

Yep, I knew about the report. I wonder why the web version doesn't offer it.

I used to do walking as my primary source of exercise. I tried to keep it interesting. First things that come to mind to increase your walking intensity:* Use hand weights * Weighted vest * Power walk * Jog...or a run * Do lunges * Find a place on your way to or from work that has steps and get stepping

Chicken and dumplings was one of my favorites from my mom. My grandma made potato lefse and rosettes. Yum!

Amazing Grease

That recipe is delightful. I used to make it for my kids.

Do you go to a class that requires dancing? YOU ARE A DANCER.

I am more confident and happier. I take risks and push myself. It has led to world travel and making friends in every corner of the planet. I joined a global group called "My Peak Challenge (MPC)" a few years ago. It started me on a journey to better overall health, mentally and physically. I met local Peakers who…

I would probably like this. I like savory cottage cheese too rather than fruity.

Find a pool. You can get a great workout in a pool with little to no joint pain. You can get a total body workout and cardio. You can also do gentle yoga. DDPY yoga offers chair yoga for people who have issues with their joints that prevent them from doing other kinds of exercise.

I have three. My first was on my left ring finger. It's a tiny infinity heart. When I had medical issues, the medications made my fingers swell to the point I could not wear my wedding ring. I vowed that when I was better, I would get a tattoo so I could honor my husband with or without a ring. I have a huge garden on my…

I can't relate to people who think I should sit around with a fake smile on my face.

You've never had kids or dogs in your home, have you?

I can't relate to people who enjoy household chores. I do them because I like to have a clean house but I don't enjoy it. At all. Not even a little. I love it when my house is clean but the process sucks.

Yoga, resistance training, walking and staying active. As soon as I stop moving, I get sore and my mobility turns to crap.

That isn't how any of this works.
