  • Wow just wow! You are an inspiration. Blessings to you.
  • Hi there - I'm doing the same thing but I struggle with it. Maybe we can encourage one another! I'm not diabetic yet but on my way if I don't take steps to improve my health immediately - which for me is the same - get my A1C under control and lose some weight. Specifically I should lose at least 50 pounds - I was down 37,…
  • Love MFP - welcome back!
  • Hi, I'm new to IF and am just beginning and have decided on 16:8 as well. This sounds like such an overall benefit - both weight loss and better health - and I'm so glad there's a group here on MFP!
  • After losing 30 pounds, I can stand up and down easily in the pew in church without grabbing onto the one in front of me for support - that was a fun surprise on Sunday :smile: -I can bend over to tie my shoes and breathe at the same time -I can put a bathing suit on and I feel ok -My energy has increased tremendously -I'm…
  • I can't do moderation either so I just stay away from it. My go to is blackberries or some other type of berry. I just had to make myself stop, it takes some time, but now the thought of eating something sugary and sweet just doesn't "feel" that great - now I honestly enjoy those little berries :smiley: you'll get hold of…
  • Yeah, I haven't quite understood that one yet, but then, I love to cook and I love to shop for my own food - some people don't, so if that's something they're willing to pay for and it's good for them than that's a great service!
  • I do, but I make it myself using naan bread - that way I can count the calories better and it makes a nice personal sized pizza - then I pile it high with diced zucchini, mushrooms and bell pepper and top it off with good mozzarella - fabulous!
  • I've always been a milk /dairy person - love the stuff, but I've gradually weaned myself from dairy and over to almond milk (if I need any milk at all) which I use sparingly. Dairy bloats me - some people can tolerate it, and I wish I could but I can't. I was stuck with my weight for a couple of weeks and I couldn't figure…

  • This is really hard for me! Yikes! I'm starting tonight.
  • Hi there - I've been an on and off WW as well - but I decided to come back to MFP because their app is so much better than WW and I feel pretty motivated to continue losing - I'm down 28 pounds so far so we can do this and you will stick with it and so will I!

  • Wow, that's AWESOME!!!! Congratulations!!! :D
  • I love the gal who said she eats salads twice a day and changes them up - that's what I'm trying to do as well.! Good going!
  • Lowering my processed carb intake along with cutting out potatoes is always a plus for my weight loss - Add me! I'm with you!
  • Crock pot - the best thing ever! :)
  • Wow! Now that's how it's done, and I agree, you definitely are inspiring!
  • Definitely can relate - I can gain weight so quickly it's ridiculous. Don't feel bad, get back up and move forward. Feel free to friend me and we can share encouragement and motivation and support and do this thing right!
  • I'd love to share encouragement and support! Feel free to add me! :)
  • You can add me!

  • Cauliflower is a great alternative to potatoes - you can mash them just like potatoes - they're good. Zucchini spiraled into pasta noodles is terrific and easier than using Spaghetti Squash - I think it's a better alternative to pasta as well. You could go on amazon and type in "spiralizer" and they'll pop up - I have one…
  • I'm doing that myself because I don't feel well when I eat processed carbs - and it seems that processed carbs are what you're talking about. There are plenty of carbohydrates that our bodies need in fruits and vegetables. Don't overdue eat things like berries - maybe once a day. People freak out when someone wants to do…
  • I would love to share encouragement and support with you! Count me in!
  • Thank you so much for this!!! This is having the best of both worlds at our fingertips. I love the points system, but WW database is horrible. MFP's database is AWESOME! Now I have both. Thanks again!!
