Trying to find a way to manage night sweats ><.
Been having a really hard time which has put the kibosh on any excercising lately >< I've been having horrible night sweats >< This is robbing me of sleep and I may be finding a new gyno soon since she was hung up on some fibroids I have and said I needed a sleep study instead of offering help. >< Besides the usual, is…

Looking for not so greasy recipes. ^^
So okay. My middle brother has shown up with cancer and is on chemo. (He's going to be taking his second treatment in a week.) Right now he isn't so bad (I KNOW it'll get worse; I think I only saw one incident so far with something on the potteh that might be vomit or..well.) but I'd rather prevent any throwing up as long…

Keto italian meatballs? With only beef?
Now I'm not much of a believer in the keto diet (I believe in tried and true, not the diet of the week) but as my calorie limit gets lower, I've discovered I may have a minor problem that maybe a keto-style recipe might solve (so I can lower the calories). My sister <3 's my spaghetti and meatballs. I mean loves them and…

Wondering if I messed up my BMI...
Now, when I first started this, I said I was sedentary. Basically other than my daily walk, I sit around a lot. HOWEVER, my daily walk is about 1.13 miles a day on average now a days (and it's about to go up again; I just added another lap/time down the road. I'm hoping to up it to 2 miles, which should get me 10-11k steps…

Trying to figure out how to add more calories, since seems with my strat, it's a bit aggressive
Okay. I've noticed I'm consistently way under the goal MFP has been setting for me. First month, I lost 21 pounds. ..Considering I started 100 pounds overweight, I didn't think that was too bad and my doctor didn't seem too concerned other than my liver enzymes spiked a little. This week I lost three pounds though. I'm…

Any tips on stretches?
I've had a achy ankle since I was a teenager (which is why I refuse to do any exercises that aren't low impact; I don't want to aggravate it. That means walking, not running.). It's due to no arch in my left foot. I can't get orthopedics right now,(Medicare/Medicaid doesn't cover those, annoyingly enough) but I was…

Trying to find a few quick dinners..
So okay. It happened again. My second brother didn't cook anything (maybe because he was mad at my sister?) so I made up a quickie ramen noodle casserole that isn't as caloric as it sounds. What I'm thinking is this might become a regular habit ><. That brother is touchy at the best of times, and I think he's getting…

Trying to find a better broccoli casserole.
If you saw my status, you'd know I got a tad annoyed at Alton Brown's broccoli casserole. We've been making it for a while when the broccoli we get from the church food bank is getting a bit old. (Just so you know, by the time I get to this, it's a bit limp and prolly no good for salad, but I don't want to waste. So it has…

Getting enough fruits/veggies on the cheap.
After tracking for over a week, I noticed something. I really don't get enough fruits/veggies. I was thinking of adding a orange to my breakfast (since we have that) and seeing what kinda other fruit we have to add to my lunch. (Good thing that we get some fruit and veg from my church, but not enough and it tends to go bad…

Incidental exercise; sneaking it in. And how to track that?
I thought I'd ask about this. As I mentioned in my intro when I answered, right now we got a bit of a minor problem. ^^ The toilet upstairs is being wacko and really needs a new flapper, (it won't flush for hours after you flush it unless you jiggle the handle) but since the valve's busted to the toilet, we can't fix it…

Newbie! A gamer that needs to lose half her body weight..need some friends to cheer me on!
Well, here we are. After I graduated from college, some things happened, I ended up stress eating/bored eating a lot and ended up very overweight. What finally made me decide to do something about it is I ended up with the family curse (high blood pressure) and got a new doctor..who scared the daylights out of me in some…
