It's always a relief when you find what works for you. Getting the 30 grams of fiber and very low saturated fat are my go-to. I'll have surgery Monday, and plan to play it by ear on exercise. Also plan sticking to liquids a few days after. My blender is packed, so I've bought v8 and premier protein and benefited to add to…

Thank you. !

Congratulations you all! I'm staying around 10,000 steps most days. I've had a few episodes of too much junk. Very stressful time. I have throat surgery for a polyp Monday and have laid in some liquid drinks for the first few days to ease the healing.

Despite jamming my toe, I'm making goal steps most days--Slowly in short pacings. Or should I say hobblings? Weight stable. Still hope to take several pounds off.

We got a surprise visit from SIL. She is such a blessing!

Putting my footprint in. I have one or two surgeries scheduled May. The second is on my throat, and don't know what that will entail. Hope to stay on steps track, and will adjust intake depending.

Have used yogurt, as well as vinegar, to add sourness when the starter is young. And adding potato to the dough itself is great, as is potato water. Adds tenderness. Hence Spudnuts, a treat for Westerners. Ya'll are bringing back memories! Thanks for the tips!

Yes, haven't salted eggplant in ages. I prefer okra plain, but a new Henderson place splits it, dusts lightly with cornmeal and flash fries. Yummy, crispy, and not greasy. Today I reheated the dry fried eggplant in the microwave and the inside turned creamy, and the skin was still delicious. We're going to fill up May…

Don't make much bread any more now that we're finding decent bakeries around. Our girls rarely got store bought growing up. Here are some of the tips i got. Toast your white flour in the oven to malt it. Let the dough rise overnight in the fridge to get tender, light results. Never use a starter that has liquor turning…

Thank you. I wanted to eat eggplant. Scorching it dry and plain in the frypan turned out not so bad.

Gosh, what a cool idea! Uh oh, that's almost a punny comment about your coolers! We used to grow peas for Mom on her balcony. She went out every day to harvest the many varieties we had there.

Grateful we can get back into our routine soon. We're back up north in the green, with intermittent showers. Love the rain!

We went to Costco when we got back to Gig Harbor. DH bought me walking poles. Tried them out, and I can't walk as fast with them as usual or with the technique shown on Prevention. However, my Fitbit Charge HR calorie burn was nearly as good, despite making fewer miles and steps. Also, the really steep hill down to the…

My whole post after the first sentence disappeared!

Tarragon is the only thing I've been successful with here.

Sorry for the late checkin, Joelle. And thanks for the laugh!
-
Thank you for the updates, Joelle. Keeping us together while your dh is ill is very thoughtful.
-
The only way I could get my hr to notify me was to set the alarm functions. Several of us have asked fitbit to add the ability to have more than 8 alarms. I've set my phone alarm as a backup. Our doctor says no one should sit more than 20 minutes at a time. I fail on that because computer, reading, tv...

Thank heavens the new med was prescribed. There's no call for unnecessary suffering.

I cannot fathom eating that much, as even 1800 calories would take forever to consume. (small framed woman) How would one find the time? My tips are several: Keep sugar free candies around to keep your mouth occupied. (so your teeth don't rot). Whenever an urge strikes, get up and walk around. Take deep deep breaths. Drink…

Hitting my 10000 plus. Going to cut back on late night meal size. Will be eating back fewer calories. Need to get back to my 10 fruit and veg servings because the *(+^% colitis is starting to try to get at me. Also, will be even more super careful about unhealthy fats.

Got my average up, but I've put on some weight at the urging of family who had come to help BIL, and I feel it.And I don't care what they say, I need those pounds off to keep the stress on my bad leg at bay. I lost a set at tennis to DH today. Not sad he won, but not happy to lose that set 5 to 6. (We decided to play first…

Happy dancing with you. Yay for we geeks! Those who teased in high school are getting their comeuppance now, fer shure!
-
Thank you, Kathy.

FWIW, When I'm in weight loss mode, I bump up the steps and other exercise. If it's recreational, like tennis, I don't worry about amount of time. But I always shoot for 10000 steps daily for bone density, which often includes 30 or more minutes continual walking. I tend to be obsessive, and if I realize I'm having trouble…

Sorry to have been away. Accepting the daily challenge. My average per week is at 12000 again, but there have been days recently when I miss the 10000 goal. It's so important for bone density, says my gastroenterologist.

Hi guys. Think cheerfully. Smile outwardly and somehow it turns itself inside out and brightens your inside!

It's been quite a month. Have a new scale, gulp! Pressure of family worries is much less, as well as their pressure to eat. I gained a few pounds, and can really feel them in my bad able and hip. Will be back on my usual track for sure. Building steps back up, and now that we can be home to cook, can have my usual immense…

Soooo glad BIL is back out of hospital. His spouse is at his house there and she's going to get him back in health for sure!
