Just now starting journey with blood sugars. My husband was just told to start using a meter & tracking his food. I was recently diagnosed as hypoglycemia. Have used this app before with success. Irony is that he & I are both WW Lifetime Goal members. Go figure.

Unfortunately, not much I don't like ..... hence the need to lose weight. Beer Oysters Sushi Egg Plant

Once a week. Same time/day of week. After pottie/before coffee. The scale plays head games with me if I weigh more often. If I were to weigh mid week & see a loss, I would tend to think hey, you're doing good, you deserve a treat. If I were to see a gain mid week, I would think to heck with this, it's not working, and…

I agree. Bordom for some might be contentedness. Serinity could be happiness.

Well said. BTW ..... when I clean house, I huff & puff, and sweat like a big girl. I saw someone asked about mowing as well. Anything that raises my pulse, gets me to sweating, and I maintain it for a measurable amount of time is exercise worth logging ...IMHO. :flowerforyou:

Don't go "on" a diet cause you will go "off" a diet. It's just food, and is intended to nourish our bodies. If we can maintain a healthy lifestyle, it just doesn't seem so bad. :flowerforyou: 1 di·et noun \ˈdī-ət\ Definition of DIET 1 a: food and drink regularly provided or consumed b: habitual nourishment c: the kind and…

Don't believe I could ever "give up" a certain food. I can limit how often I have them. I can control the portion size when I have them. I want to learn to eat the way I can live the rest of my life. For me it cannot be a diet ..... if I go "on" a diet, I go "off" a diet. Prefer to think of it as a more healthy lifestyle.

Your body will eventually go into survival mode & lower your metabolism for fear it is not getting enough. Think about how bears spend their winters ...... they don't eat cause they are hibernating & don't need as much food. So, unless you are hibernating, be sure you are feeding your body enough ...... of the right stuff.

Fried food & wine & sugar. Drink lots of water to flush it out. Yes, it will happen if we let our guard down.

On another note, but similar topic. For years I shared an office with another woman. She was the younger one, the skinny one, etc. As I began my weight loss journey it was not what she said but what she did. On more than one occasion, when I would come back from lunch, she would have left something for me on my desk. Might…

Pain. Knee pain. Back pain. Hip pain. Being embarassed with excessive sweat ...... inside, in the A/C. :frown:

I shop @ Goodwill or other resale shops while losing. I did it before & will do it again. Why spend too much on a size I don't plan on staying in. Once at goal, I shop where I choose.

Envy, even on an unconscious level, may be getting the best of her. If she is your friend, she will see you feeling & looking better & either join in or more on.

add protein ... string cheese with apple is delish. oatmeal .... I pair with a soft boiled egg.

okay, here goes. I grew up eating miracle whip, peanut butter & pickle sanwiches. Sometimes bologna was included. as an adult, I found out that when cleaning up after making spaghetti, I like spaghetti sandwich with hellmans. of course, those examples are the source of my weight delima ..... so now, favorite is FF cottage…

fruit juice ..... vs whole fruit

are your calories full satisfying. are you getting enough protein? just thoughts.

I am a lifetime WW member .... hit goal after losing 92 pounds. That was not my first WW attempt. However, it was the first time I journaled my food .... the good, the bad, the ugly. Now here I am again. Don't want to start paying @ WW again (since I am not at goal weight). The food tracker here is exactly what I need. We…

do not use liquid stevIa. I use dry ..... about what would be equivalent ,,,,, 1 Packet?
