That sounds like it would work.

That's good to know and thanks for the book suggestion.

Berry Balsamic Pork 1 cup unsweetened frozen mixed berries 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar 2 cloves garlic, peeled 1/2 large red onion chopped 1 teaspoon sea salt 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1.5 pound pork loin place all ingredients but the pork loin blender. blend until you have a nice smelly smoothie Place the pork…

Butternut squash. Cut it in half, place the halves skin side down in the crock, cook on low 6-8 hrs. Once it is done, scoop out the seeds and discard them, then scoop out the good part. I like to use a potato masher on this part and add a little butter. You can also add it to soups or spread it on toast like jam and top…

you can slow cook baked potatoes or sweet potatoes without foil. Just wash the potatoes, put them in the crock (Don't poke holes in them), and cook on low for 6-8 hours.

I replaced sugar with raw honey and then add a couple tablespoons of whole milk. I tried almond milk but I just don't like the flavor. My son suggested coconut cream to replace both sugar and milk in my coffee, but I haven't tried that yet.

That sounds like a good plan. I saw in the MFP goal settings that you can make a goal of gaining .a half pound per week (about 2 tenths of a kg.) Using that goal setting tool will help you get your calories in line without putting on a huge amount of weight suddenly.

It sounds like there is a problem that you need to address. But it also sounds like you are close to a very healthy diet. Nothing wrong with preferring non processed organic foods. But at the same time don't Starve yourself if that sort of food is not available. If you set your goal weight higher than your current weight…

Yes and no. Basic math logic. If you burn more fuel than you have in the main tank, then you will dip into your reserves to keep going. I am surprised at how quickly I began losing weight. I lost 10 pounds in 20 days with very little effort, which surprised me I was expecting weight loss but not that quickly with no added…

yay for new baby. I'm sending you a friend request

Thank you

5 feet even. I'll send you a friend request

I now weigh the same as I did the day I had my youngest son.He's five... I sent you a friend request.

When I started with MFP a couple weeks ago, it told me that I was putting my body into starvation mode when I was just eating what I normally ate too. AND I was 40 lbs overweight. I was doing pretty much what you do eating very little during the week and gorging on the weekend So I researched it and discovered that, yes…

I use a menu service called Saving Dinner. All the dinners are planned out with a shopping list and recipes. I just add breakfast and lunch stuff. Often just double up when cooking and have lunch for the next day. There are several meal planning services around the net to help you plan out a good healthy diet, but I do…

Just approved your friend request. I have 32 pounds to lose. I've found that since I carry my phone with me everywhere, using the app to track calories has been the best part of this. So easy to just scan a barcode on a package then record how much I ate. The odd thing is, now that I am concentrating on healthy choices, I…

I've gained huge amounts of weight twice in my life. The first time I was somewhat athletic and suffered a knee injury. I had knee surgery that kept me sitting for several weeks, but I didn't adjust my diet and ended up gaining 30 pounds/ The weight came off easily once I was back on my feet. This time, I gained weight…

I started two weeks ago and would love to have some friends to motivate me
