Hi! I gained some weight before Covid, due to a problem in my back and cortisone to heal. Then covid happen. I am doing now for 2 weeks Intermittent Fasting 16:8, though I also need help with MFP. I also feel better with IF 16:8. Stay strong! I sent you a friend request.

I started 2 weeks ago IF and I don't see any loosing of my weight. Years ago, I lost weight (pregnancy kgs 10 or 15) by MFP. Though, recent years I gained all this back and some more, due to an health issue and I stopped PT and gym. I still can't exercise like before, or move my body. So, here I am back with IF and MFP. Do…

Same boat here! I changed Country 2 years ago and it has been hard to loose the weight I gained before and after moving Countries. Life happened and I couldn´t keep healthy eating and regular exercise. I gained the weight slowly, too and at this point I´ve fighting to get back. As you, at this point I reach the point, it…

Hello I'm back here again. In 2015 I lost all my unwanted weight though a stress life and a moving between Countries made me gaining my old weight back. Looking for MFP friends for motivation!

I just turned 47 this month. I moved country this year and the stress cause weight gain and I am out of shape again. I want to loose all the extra weight and here I go again. Healthy life style and healthy weight.

New on this. Maybe my goal is too high, but let's see. Maybe I will consider walking and running.

Hi! You have to enter 3.25 miles in the ticker setup, in the same place where you have to enter the password. It asks: "Your current cumulative value:" and you enter 3.25 Then, it asks your "target goal" and you write your goal for the month, as I think you did.

Hi, I am Maria. I started using MFP in June and my gym workouts become more serious. At the gym, I started using more the treadmill, walking first and then it felt like starting to run. I discovered that I love it. I got a black nail and I discovered the world of running - I need good supportive shoes (due to pronation)…

That's the attitude!!! I am so happy to read this post, my friend!

This is what I am afraid for. I was never a runner, also. In the past my love was cycling and it still is (I bike every day). I know now that it was also frustration due to my difficult foot. They are very wide, high and they go inwards when I run. I did the tests and in the shop the seller said my foot is the most…

First of all, thanks a lot for sharing your experience. :heart: I feel the same running outside. I was thinking I should get a group to join and then it wouldn't be just me LOL Maybe I am cheap and I found my sportive shoes expensive - Nike brand, 120 Euros or more (I bought good socks for running due to my damage nail and…

Thanks! I am also cheap :wink: I will read with attention the link. Though due to the black nail I bought the new shoes in a professional shop. They asked me to run and they recorded. My foot has a weird shape (Greek foot and tall foot) and my foot goes inside, when running (over-pronation). I got a Nike brand, as I said…

Thanks everyone! :heart: My tests for Celiac Disease (Gluten allergy) are negative. Though, I've gluten sensitivity - the Doctor considers I have all symptoms and the best is avoiding, after a while trying again a little, as someone suggested. The Doctor said there are no tests available for this kind of gluten problem.…

I started using Fitbit last week. I would like some friends there. www.fitbit.com/user/2VVR7C

Thanks a lot! It really helped. The "history" appeared when I was setting up my account in fitbit. It should be 0 steps and 0 calories and there was there more than 1000 sets. Though, it seems it doesn't affect my day. I will check the Fitbit community. :) Thanks, again!

Hi! I had the same problem myself - I couldn't see if there was any difference. The photos need to be at the same distance for you to see it very clearly. I can see you lost some weight and you are more thigh, as someone says above. The difference in volume is not much, except for less fat :wink: that is a very clear…

Nice photos! I did a little of my back garden and front-garden... It is nice to share :)

My personal scale measures the body fat %, muscle % and water %, besides the weight. It can be used for 9 users and it stays in the memory last measures. Each time I weight myself will have an arrow up or down in each measure. Though, each time my weight goes up, all goes up except muscles goes down. Not trustable, for my…

I am 44 years old and since 32 years old I started to have some grey hair. I hate it, then, I hate it now. I chose to be using those shampoos at home with some color for the first white hairs. I do it in a relaxing bath, with a hair plastic cap after using the colour. It is nice colouring your hair, because you get…

I learned! I am going to log in the food 1st and I don't think I want to hear PEANUTS word so soon LOL Thanks everyone. And yes, tomorrow is another day. I am going to the gym ... and let's do some extra workout.

It's happening the same with me. Now, after 3 months the scale shows less 3 kg (around 6 pounds). Are you weighting yourself every day? That explains the ups and downs. With me, I couldn't measure how it was going on it started because I took it slow. Try to eat healthy, drink enough and working out (moving at least 30…

Thanks everyone! :heart: Now 2 quick answers: PIZZA - family decided for pizza today and because I had a lot of calories to use, I just tried a little. Though, I am not a fan of pizza lol TOMATO - usually I have a lot, like paprika and cucumber. Though, my husband is also on diet and when I was to have lunch these things…

Thanks for sharing and congratulations for keeping your strong will. :heart: I just can add that it is easier when you are young to get the motivation about the future. When you are older, the biggest motivation is health and physical condition, because we don't care so much how who look like. So, as younger to take care…

No, I am not in any meds. I was having vitamin D but because I have been on holidays with sun, I am making a break of that.

I am drinking coffee until after my lunch time, then I drink water or tea. At the evening, I have tea. About carbs craving, join the club. I have the same. Some people said you are eating too low. I didn't check, but that's one of the reasons for the craving, I know it by myself. I was eating extremely few, lazy to cook…

I am not from Canada or US. I am from Europe - The Netherlands, more exactly. Thanks! :flowerforyou: For all others, thanks for all the tips. I will confirm 1st with the doctor, before a diet. For now, I will just be careful with the bread. I am not a fan of pasta, so with pasta there is no problem. I am a rice lover, and…

[/quote] Quote: It does look delicious but needs something to bind it :laugh: [/quote] I don't like whipped cream. The bowl of fruit salad had orange choice (fresh made) and a little of the peach sauce from the can. I like it this way. I am Portuguese and some people water the fruit salad with Porto Wine, that is also…

[/quote] Without the sugar/whipped cream, it's just a bowl of fruit [/quote] Thanks! I got it now how to add an image :flowerforyou: Well, it is fruit, but peach is canned fruit :heart: I had this bowl yesterday and today a bigger bowl in the afternoon. It was delicious!

First answer and I love it. Most of you answered the same, maybe in a different way. And yes, I was just talking about fruit. Almost all fresh fruit, except peaches that were from the can (2 halves in a big bowl - so I ate max 1 half). Let's see if I can place the pic. <a href="http://tinypic.com?ref=opr4pi"…

I am using slices of ham or chicken. If you do the tuna with salad, I think these slices are a good option for you. Here there is also slices of turkey (similar to the ham and chicken). A boiled egg, also good. The problem with canned tuna and egg is the cholesterol. Be careful with that. I also used in the past to do…
