I second that!

Lots of things to eat for breakfast that don't involve carbs are not traditional breakfast foods. Think outside the breakfast food realm. I keep bits of leftover protein from dinner meals to heat for the a.m. Cottage cheese, or any cheese for that matter. I do eat eggs a lot, but I change the taste by adding veggies and…

Thanks!

Thanks, but it sure feels like a failure!!!

As a short answer.... see my post "It's only 10 in the morning and the day is a loss...."

You are so right! I get so many patients from the hospital who have destroyed their good bacteria by taking so many antibiotics. The result is a nasty intestinal infection that is frighteningly contagious!

That might work! I most definately don't like zombies!

That was freaking hilarious!

I would like to just be able to run. (The process of trying to get away from someone who is chasing you with a knife doesn't count I am told!)

Ah, yes. I will put my lunch meals in ahead of time, because I make them before work. Sometimes I put my evening meal in so that I know how much of a serving I can have. I adjust it down if I know that I can't get in any exercise.

I always log it after my activity. With my health issues, I never know how long I will be able to do anything. I have to take my body as~is in that regard. When my body starts screaming.... I have to stop or I may not walk the next day!

I am grateful for a husband and children who support me no matter what weight I am. I am grateful for MFP friends who refrain from judging me when I back slide.

That person's comment was extremely rude. It's like saying "you can exercise all you want but you are a fattie who eats too much and it won't matter"! And, god help me.... I think that was my mother too.

I grew up in a family that struggled to get enough to eat. There are many ways to handle food you do not want. Throwing away food that someone can benefit from is not a thing to be proud of. So many people in THiS country are struggling to find their next meal. And yes, there are children who die from starvation in…

Time could slow down when things are good and my body would cooperate with my ideas!!!

Myschelle, thank you for the encouragement. My last three weeks have been ugly. I was trying to get back on track and my blood sugar crashed on the road and I had a candybar from the gas station. Life happens. Surely. Good luck to you!

People can talk all day about what caused a disorder and what helps or doesn't. The facts are not facts at all, just opinions based on various studies with widely different results. Alzheimer's type dementia is a devastating illness that cannot be fully confirmed until autopsy and is NOT curable. A lot of other illnesses…

Sorry ladies. I just realized how truely pitiful that post was. I really don't mean to be negative. Just a tough week for me.

Hi there! Just have a moment to get on the tablet today and check out the board. I have been very frustrated lately. Having a hard time with not losing any weight. A lot of late days and stress at work has cut into my walking schedule, so that hasn't helped. My husband bought me the Active 2 for the Xbox kinect and I tried…

I find new and unusual ways to make veggies and meats. You can do wonderful things to vegetables with the oven! Roasting a vegetable changes the taste so much, it's crazy. Using leftover proteins from previous meals to create different types of omelets makes breakfast more exciting. I also use different veggies and protein…

I usually saute up some fresh spinach, scallions and a bit of grilled protein from leftovers and throw an egg and hot sauce in it.

Unfortunately, my hip has been a problem for me this weekend and I am just forcing myself to walk. The pain can really be consuming as you well know. I am just trying to make it through one day at a time.

All of these things are very motivating. My husband is my blessed support system. He tells me I am beautiful every day, even when I feel like a sack of potatoes. He helps by eating the things that I do and by soothing my aches when my illnesses take over. My goal is to be as medication free as possible and to get back into…

My changes are eating no grains, starches or fruits. My diabetes makes this my best choice. I am no longer cramping and bloating like I had been.

I tend to eat the same thing in the morning due to time issues. For lunch I generally eat salad greens with whatever leftover protein I have from dinner the night before. My husband and I figure out what we will have for dinner and then I input the calories to see what a good serving size will be to keep me below 1200…

Have you ever tried them sauteed with onions, olive oil and garlic? You could even put in just one slice of chopped sauteed bacon for flavor, or try turkey bacon. My family and friends love them this way now. It's like a whole different vegetable done this way.

Congrats to you! Very sensible advice.

Definately a hot topic! I agree with everyone who says to listen to your body. Everyone is different. For me, the "extra" calories were a mistake. Obviously not for others.

I love this group! It's completely awesome. I tend to get frustrated with my weight because I work with so many thin, young people. My self esteem suffers and then I just want to give up. Reading everyone's trials and tribulations really keeps my spirits up.

I do not eat the extra calories awarded for exercise. I figured, what would be the point of exercising at all...just to eat more? The point of exercising is to burn the calories I eat, not let me eat more. I think that anyone eating the extra Cal's awarded would put on weight or just not lose any. Good luck in your quest.
