  • I have this AND I have legit other food allergies. It's no fun. My food limitations increase every year but I have always loved the fresh fruits and veg that I react to. Also love all the foods I'm increasingly allergic to. Not cool.
  • I don't know that I have much to offer on this topic other than "Yes! me too!" I do add new pictures to FB, just not a ton. And when I do, they tend to get a lot of comments. It's all very positive, but it's just all so STRANGE. here are some of my simultaneous thoughts: -I am proud of myself. -I look better than I used…
  • so excited to try these!
  • Looking great! You are making fabulous progress! I love the idea of the pictures with the shorts--the payoff in a couple months is gonna be sooooo satisfying!
  • You are doing so great! I am very very impressed and inspired!
  • I don't plan out my days/weeks, BUT, my best nutrition days are when I eat pretty much the same hearty/healthy breakfast everyday then have soup or leftovers for lunch. So that is where I play around a lot. I've been making soups this winter. Mostly chicken and vegetable soup (no noodles--instead, I add oyster crackers if…
  • It's a high allergen food. Like gluten, like peanuts. If you avoid gluten because of an intolerance or an allergy then you can understand why soy can be such a problem. I, personally, miss eating soy since my allergies prohibit. BUT when I started reading labels due to my allergies, I was shocked at how soy was in…
  • Because The processed "veggie" products are Full of allergens. SOY SOY SOY, Ugh. It's too much. Why is it in Every single packaged food item?! Agree with numerous previous posters, Though I used to enjoy mixing these convenience foods into my diet until adult onset food allergies hit me hard and I started to pay attention…
  • Talk to a doctor, physical therapist or chiropractor for this, because your clicking hip could be different from everyone else's clicking hip. That being said. I have one "hip" area joint thingamajig that clicks all the time and has since I was a kid and I have talked to my docs about it and they were not concerned. My…
  • You are looking great! And I am so inspired, thank you for posting! I am looking forward to getting to Onederland (it's a little ways off, but hopefully this summer) and I hope I look half as good as you do at 195. Great work!!
  • Twinings Lemon Ginger herbal tea is super flavorful (more ginger than lemon) and I drink it hot and iced almost daily. I drink a lot of herbals and this is probably the one that is the most flavorful and palatable on its own without sweetener. Mint herbal tea blends like sleepytime and mint melange are also pretty…
  • I totally get this and I love it! Congrats on your mole! ;)
  • Kraft Mac & Cheese with Ketchup AND Frenches mustard mixed in.
  • EAT THE CHEESE! ENJOY. this is life, not prison. I eat cheese every day. It's a filling and satisfying food that I enjoy, therefore I incorporate it into my menus. I eat 1/2 - 1 oz of good Parmesan in my oatmeal every morning and often have a second serving later in the day of cheddar, string cheese, buffalo mozzarella, or…
  • Yes it does!! I'm not very active...but MFP settings for "sedentary" really apply to someone who doesn't move much at all. I don't exercise and I sit on my couch a lot and I have a desk job, but I started wearing a FitBit and I realized that "sedentary" was inaccurate, so I switched my setting to lightly active, I gained a…
  • Yes and thank you for posting! Isn't reason and moderation just the best?!
  • A loner, Dottie...A rebel.
  • I wish! All I hear is "But you have the best skin." " I am sooo jealous of your pretty skin." "You don't know how lucky you are to not have acne"... or wrinkles or freckles or whatever that person is faux *****ing about. Yeah...Take that you size 2s with your pretty, symmetrical faces and your admirers and your confidence…
  • Morning is the same every work day for me (an most weekends): oatmeal with cheese and currants or cranberries. Lunch varies, but this time of year it is almost always soup. If it's a can of soup, it's low sodium, high fiber, full of veggies and beans and under 400 calories for the whole can (which is ridiculously 2…
  • NO. Just. NO. You are adorable AND you've come so far and worked so hard to get that cute little body of yours. I'm sorry, but mutual attraction is not a negotiable fact in most new relationships. I get it, I've been in some unusual relationships before, but none I'd consider exclusive (they were just to weird to allow…
  • Lightly active, definitely. I know this after months of personal testing. You see: I'm practically a lazy bum, physically. I live in a city, but my walking commute is minimal and I sit at my desk much of the day. I get up to do things around the office, but 85%+ of most days are at my desk, so for 4 months I had my…
  • Oh no no no... You don't have to exercise off all the calories you eat. Just by breathing, sleeping, brushing your teeth, and doing general living type stuff, you are burning calories: depending on your weight and activity level it's between 2000-3000 calories a day automatically used up by your body to function at a basic…
  • count me in--I need a boost!
  • to spend more time with the friends I love and who take care of me and to spend less time with the leeches. to use my passport.
  • Multi V with Iron Vit D 1-2K/day Vit B complex Fish oil CoQ10 Probiotics, usually in yogurt, occasionally in pill form. As needed: Extra Vit C, Calcium/Magnesium.
  • I have the same problem. My limit is 225 lbs. I have lost weight a million times to get to 225 and then I just stop. Once or twice I may have gotten closer to 220, but usually it's 225 and I "take a break" or I hit a plateau and give up or something... I've been hovering between 224 and 225 for 2 weeks now. I think this…
  • As a child, I always called my grandparents "Grandma/Grampa __fill in last name here___"--rather formal, but we lived far away from extended family. But I also had a "Meema" and as a teen we lived closer to one set of grandparents and "granny" and "gramps" came up a lot.
  • Stabilizing sneakers with lots of cushioning that look slick.
