Bravo ebaroldy!!! :)

In my humble opinion.... Say "Thank You for noticing but isn't it wonderful (your friend) is cancer free". You acknowledge the compliment and redirect at the same time. Hope that helps....

Don't want to be a failure in my own eyes.....

home run

I know I'll get a bunch of crap for this but I average 800-1000 a day and I'm not hungry. It's what and when you eat that is working for me. Low carbs and sugar, basically no "white" food (starches), moderate protein and fat. This just works for me.

While my adult daughter lives with me, I often cook for just one. I'll cook 2 chicken breasts about 1/2 pound each on the simple side so that I can either go mexican, italian or asian with seasonings and the same with salmon but I'll only cook one and have the other half for lunch the next day or dinner. I'm a no frills,…

I don't use my phone to add food and my wifi is good. My ENTIRE last week's diary went poof~~~~? So darn mad !!!

Stay focused on your health and fitness.... I am so glad I stayed true to myself and am stronger for it. @Jdavis3111! great convo starter!

Had the same problem, missing items. Problem solved... Nice insulated lunch bag (very pretty) and a couple of Blue-Ices. Set it under my desk sitting on a storage box, no ever sees it.

Has anyone heard of it causing sleeplessness? Was thinking of taking with dinner as I've read it works better with a little fat (olive oil, coconut, etc). I try to spread the vitamins I take throughout the day but don't it to work against me. Help!

Egg Beater & Mushroom omelette with Pico Pica... Satisfying but lighter than regular eggs.

My department is ALL guys. Great for the most part but trying to stay focused on my diet is a challenge when they bring in crap every other day and the damn 'food cube/desk' is right next to mine. Our office is a meat locker too, I wear my sweater a lot. I'll admit, I'm 52 and facing the big 'M' too but I never let them…

When you say 'strict carb' meaning counts or type of carb? Staying away from processed 'white' carbs ... bread, white rice, pasta, tortillas is a good start. Vegis that have almost 1to1 ratio of carbs to fiber is a plus!. Just my 2 cents.

I know I'll get crap from the 'experts' here but I'm 52, 5'3" and can eat a lot for 900 Cals, 40 Carbs, 30 Fibers & 30 Fats. Going through the big 'M' changed ALL of my eating habits and these numbers finally moved the scale. The 1200, 1400 just didn't work for me.... my 2 cents.

Yes! I agree with Rhyalus. YOU ARE THERE FOR YOU! Keep your workout clothes comfortable, get a great set of tunes and just keep in mind how wonderful YOU'll feel when you're done. And hey, the 'fit ones' may have been in the same spot you are at today (and this is only temporary one!). You got this!

I've given up white food (rice, pasta bread, etc) and keep my carbs under or at 40 grams a day. I'm at around 900 cals, less than 200 on the cholesterol, under 2500 on the sodium and fat at around 25-30 on a daily basis. I eat quite at bit of food and satisfied. For my age and situation this is how I've lost the 23 lbs so…

It is success in progress ... Bravo to you!

Great profile pic!

THAT IS EXCELLENT! YOU GO GIRL!!!!

You didn't get the memo?

Hmm? Local 'Farmers Markets'? Sometimes frozen isn't bad either in a pinch mixed with fresh vegis.

Do you have the opportunity to grow anything? Not sure if you have a '.99 Cent' store near you but I can find some really great deals there. Huge heads of cauliflower, bell pepper and lettuce for only a buck!. It can sometimes be a hit or miss. Do you have Sprouts Market? They always have the cheapest produce. I live in CA…

For scales with small weighing surfaces, I keep a large dinner size Styrofoam plate handy. It doesn't weigh anything.

Coffee cake

Not sure if these stores are near you but I check out 99cent store and Sprouts first. Very affordable fresh produce. Even try Smart & Final, they're good on meat prices & frozen vegis too.

Nice sweet couple

Mickey is funy!

For me Raisins and/or most dried fruit. HOLY crap there's a boat load of carbs. I simply don't even have them in the house period.
