Have you tried the BRATY diet? (Bananas, rice, apples, toast, yoghurt). It is what they recommend for Diahrea and can be used long term (not forever; but more than several days). It helped my son when he had problems due to allergies and intolerances (to get his system back on track). FYI

Try stretching them out before and after your exercises. Having a warm bath or shower (where the water hits on your thighs- like a massage) would likely help too. Hope you feel better :)

If you do eat/drink something, try to have something healthy that fills you up. I usually have a glass of skim milk and that fills me up.

You can make a nice salad with baby spinach, cut up apple, yoghurt and some seeds (pumpkin/sunflower). You can add mushrooms, clementines or dried cranberries and many other things. If you can't go out, you need to cook something, so maybe bake a few chicken breasts. You could add a slice of garlic bread with mozzerella…

My mum was still doing lifting exercises in her mid 70's. She hasn't been doing as much since breaking her hand falling down the basement stairs; but had that not happened she would still be doing it. She just did things at home (not at an official gym. I'm starting to do some very light lifting and I'm 47 and 3.5 months.…

Great info here :). Thanks Steve :)

My mum is almost 78 (in 2.5 months) and she was 5'6" but from aging she is about 5'1" now. She doesn't exercise, except doing regular daily activities around the house. She eats everything also but in moderation. She eats more than 1200 calories a day and maintains. I would estimate her intake to be around 1500. On…

I was doing a similar type fast for religious reasons and did lose a lot of weight but when I stopped (at my husbands request, because I was not thinking well), most of it was gained back. My REAL success has been sticking with the amount MFP set for me. Sometimes I have gone over from having a big meal or take out; but…

^^^^^^This and medicated blistex in the little blue jar. Also, Avène carries a lip protection with vitamins and sunscreen ... FYI

I just use a little extra virgin olive oil mixed with some type of juice (lemon, lime, orange, etc) and some seasonings of your choice. Just play around until you find some seasonings you like. It will vary on what you are eating and your mood and what you have on hand that day. Take care :)

I take several supplements; but the multivitamin I take is the one for prenatal and pregnancy. I recommend it for any woman because it is one of the most complete multivitamins for woman and it's economical. To get what is in the prenatal/pregnancy multivitamin, you would have to buy a "regular" multivitamin along with…

^^^^^^^ THIS

Continued; I hope you reconsider your goals. Take care

Um, my son is 18 and an inch taller than you and 7 lbs heavier and he is just skin, muscle and bones. I would seriously consider not focussing on weight loss and focus on strengthing your body and building up some muscle mass. IMO you do not need to lose any weight ... I hope you rec

I have found the iPhone app more user friendly than the full version, when it comes to entering and editing recipes. It still picks the wrong things; but you can edit and save. FYI

Age: 47 Height: 5'1.5" SW: 170 lbs CW: 152.6 GW: 98 (tentative, I have a small frame)

Maybe get your D3 levels checked. And B12. Also maybe you need to be eating more of your exercise calories back ... Take care :)

Yes. It was from water retention associated with drinking the pop. Everyone's different, so it may/may not affect others the same way. Take care :)

^^^^^^this

Nice. This is similar to what my son used. Of course that was almost 19 years ago :).

My son has a similar list and I've been able to make variety for him but again it is still limited due to the restriction on the protein and carb choices available. I would suggest you consult with a nutritionist to get a better idea of what you possibly can eat, and ensure your diet is balanced. You may also need to take…

I guess to define leftovers, I mean whatever you had for lunch and dinner the day before, etc ... Like meat, chicken, rice, potatoes, pasta, vegetables, casserole, pizza, etc. I mention this in case you didn't know what I meant. Take care :)

Oh and grilled cheese sandwiches ... :)

My son has a lot of allergies and intolerances; so my main focus is that he gets balanced nutrition, so it may not be a "typical" breakfast. Some things he will eat are: A wrap with mozerella cheese, lettuce and some type of protein (chicken, turkey, thinly sliced steak, turkey bacon, etc). Pancakes and turkey bacon.…

If they are going to be rude, just note that your body cannot tolerate chocolate. For me, I'm allergic to chocolate; so I can say so; but no one needs to know why you "can't tolerate" it. Then let them think what they want; but ultimately you shouldn't be forced to eat or made to feel bad for not eating anything. Take care…

^^^^^ agree 100%

If you are afraid of pain associated with the injection site, you can get a product called EMLA cream. It's fairly inexpensive. My son uses it when he has blood taken and when he gets injections. You don't need a prescription but it is usually kept behind the counter at the pharmacy. Just ask. Take care :)

I can only speak from my experience; but I started losing weight when I stopped the pop (diet and regular). Last weekend I opened a 2L diet bottle I had put aside and over a few days drank it. My weight went up for four days. It was basically water retention. So for me, pop is not good. Whatever the chemicals are, they…

Please send me a friend request. I'm accessing the forums using safari on my iPhone and when I click to go to anyone's profile it just opens the MFP iPhone app and takes me to my home page, so I can't go to your page or send you a message (unless you are a friend). I have been in your shoes. My son has autism but he is…

^^^^^^^ this And for me, I also gained weight at 1200 calories but after a time period I would have a big drop and then go through the same thing again, and again and again. If you look at my profile pic you will see the pattern. Maybe you are the same. I try to stay away from a lot of salt and all pop and I try to drink…
