  • Looking for encouraging senior friends to communicate with on Fitness Pal. I'm 5'10 and went into shock when my doctor's scale registered my weight at 208! OMG!!! doctor suggested I just set a goal to get below 200. That was middle of Jan. I'm now down to 175, but afraid I'll gain it back.

  • You go, Girl! I've been there (lost and gained back). May I make a little suggestion? It may be less frustrating if you start with a goal that you can reach in a few weeks. I set my goal to lose about 20 pounds. I lost that in a few weeks, celebrated, then I changed my goal for another 10 pounds, etc. I get discouraged…

  • Most foods have some sodium but if you are avoiding processed foods (canned or packaged) you may not be getting enough salt. People with high blood pressure are advised to lower sodium intake to 1500 mg. daily. That means no or limited processed foods, pizzas, chips, soft drinks, etc. And eating out almost guarantees an…

  • Each of us has different needs and tastes beyond the required nutrition allowances. After looking seriously at what I was eating I realized that I was following old dogmas in eating habits. I ate cereal milk and fruit because "You have to start with a good breakfast". Not! I feel better when I don't eat breakfast and the…

  • Best way to lose quickly is drop to 800-1000 calories for a few days eating lean meat, veggies, NO white carbs. This will kick start, then stick to the diet but eat more. Avoid processed foods, breads, pasta. It will come off and you'll feel great after the first few days.

  • The misinformation out there is appalling. 20 years ago soft drinks came in 8 or 10 ounce bottles and that's what people drank. Now most drinks are 16 or 20 ounces and that's what people drink. They are surprised that the nutrition label says it's 21/2 servings. Also restaurant food is deceiving. A seemingly healthy meal…

  • I love reading everyone's posts. I've been doing Fitness Pal for 10 days. Unfortunately we had a trip out of town for our 25th anniversary and I've cheated several times also. I lost 2, then gained 2. What a bummer!! I'm setting goals of 10 lbs at a time,,, any more is depressing for me. My weight goal is 190 by Christmas.…

  • I feel the same way right now, but I have to admit I cheated... ate an ice cream cone on the way to buy healthy veggies. LOL When I do this I feel really pissy. But I have to try again tomorrow. I don't find healthy food more expensive. I can buy lots of frozen veggies for the price of a large potato chips. And I eat a lot…
