What a GREAT idea!

I play acoustic. Recently, I've decided to work on fingerstyle. If you're interested, look up Michael Chapdelaine on YouTube. I'm awed by his talent!

what I've done for myself is make a suspension of sunflower oil or olive oil with water. I use my wand mixer on its highest setting and add water to the oil - I don't have much success the other way around. And then I use that for cooking as though it was straight oil. It helps cut back on the calories a little and I still…

if it's a question of feeling satiated, I have found that Pgx Granules helped tremendously in that area. I add one scoop to select meals (breakfast / snack; for me) and that contents me. Now that I'm adjusting to my diet and activity changes, I'm finding I can often go without adding the granules. The added advantage to…

Tracking food is your best approach in meal portioning. The more accurate you are, the more successful you will be. MFP makes it easy. Download the App for every electronic device you have and make vigorous use of it! <3 MFP sets you up initially with input from you. Follow that plan for a week and see how you fare.…

Hi! I'm 51 too. And you're right, it does seem harder to lose weight. Keep going anyway. On the weight gain, it creeps up slowly, stealth mode like! That's how it gets us! Good news about your past... you've proved you can take the weight off regardless of its stealth mode! So you're going to do it again. <3 Be gentle with…

I apologize to everyone and the original poster ... I'm rather new at reply blogging in MFP. So it looks like my replies to commentary hasn't gone to individual commentator I was responding to. Thank you all for providing links. To those who are obviously mean-spirited in their replies... what can I say. You are…

AMEN AND HALLELUJAH! Nastiness is just that.... nastiness. And I'm not surprised at all that it was taken that way, because that's what it was. When getting pummeled, sometimes you pummel back. I might have done the same. You are absolutely correct.

I'm very sorry to read that you are suffering (if I understood) in meal planning. I think you're going 'hardcore'. And if that term is good enough for an athlete, it's good enough for someone who is adamant on a diet that fits with her body type. I don't know if changing the language will help you, but I'm suggesting it…

Acceptable thyroid levels are a contentious issue. For example, in North America (Canada/USA) accepted levels are much lower than what are considered acceptable levels in an equally modern country like Japan. What seems to be agreed on though, is how thyroid levels change throughout the day with different food intake and…

I couldn't agree more. Does MFP have a BLOCK button like Facebook does? It needs one.

Excellent observations. Perfect advice; go to the professionals on this one. <3

thank you for the link! I'm learning as I go with my weightloss - however humble it may be. <3

... and you are a great example of why it's so important not to judge others on what their life journey is. Thank you for posting. You drive the point home in a very elegant way. Continued success be yours! <3

Congratulations on your weight loss. You are an inspiration to me. Seeing what you have accomplished I believe I can make my goal as long as I stay steady with my lifestyle changes. No one ever means to let themselves go... and when we find ourselves at less than our best, it takes a lot out of us to keep trudging along to…

Congratulations in your tenacity on your weight loss. May the odds be ever in your favour! <3

Hello! Me again. I was trying to find a link to a documentary I had seen some time ago. I'm still looking. In the meantime; Here's a website that makes some sense with respect to metabolism: http://www.nhs.uk/livewell/loseweight/pages/how-can-i-speed-up-my-metabolism.aspx I watched a documentary on a study that was done in…

Hi. Here's a website that makes some sense with respect to metabolism: http://www.nhs.uk/livewell/loseweight/pages/how-can-i-speed-up-my-metabolism.aspx I watched a documentary on a study that was done in regards to metabolism, types of meals, exercise and weight loss. Here's something that caught my attention in regards…

I am following the Wharton Clinic lifestyle plan. For everyone, diet is personal and is primarily geared by gender, age, activity level, health concerns, height, frame. 1200 calories is the bare minimum. 55%carbs, 25% Fat, 20% Protein seems to be a standard often used. I'm 5'4", 51, female, average build with no…

It is frustrating when the pounds don't come off at the same rate that we reduce caloric intake. There's a lag. It takes time for the body to adjust to new diet plans. Keep doing it anyway. Carbohydrates are great for quick energy. But if it's not used, it gets stored more readily than protein. Protein is a slow-burning…

Hello Joy! Congratulations on tackling your goals. Hiccups are bound to happen, but they always pass. I see you've lost 2lbs! Wonderful! I remember finally getting to that - it took a while. I'm also 5'3" and I have quite a bit of weight to discard. At 1lb average a week, that's 52 lbs a year - at 2lbs average a week,…

I have osteoarthritis in all my major joints. The worse joint is my right knee; tri-compartemental cartilage loss, macerated meniscus, and I need a medial unloader brace. I have been swimming as exercise and follow a warm-water stretch program 2x a week. I have recently added a deep-end (to avoid foot impact) water cardio…

dammed if you do, dammed if you don't. so here's someone babbling about fat *****es... in a gym... to someone else making a dedicated effort towards their lifestyle.. because... why??? the general call out is from someone who's a coward, someone who's contribution to encouraging lifestyle changes is to breathe. keep going…
