A Christmas Story
Do you have a story about something that you did or something that happened around Christmas time? I'll tell you my story. When my husband and I bought our first house, we decided it would be great to get a Christmas tree that had a root ball, so we could plant it in the yard. So, we went and picked out a tree, and big…

Who Do You Tip for the Holidays
This is always a confounding thing this time of year. Who do give extra to for the holidays? And when do you give it? And how do you decide how much? I give to my nail tech, my hair person, my cleaning lady and my lawn service. I give each of them the amount of one service they provide. I don't tip our garbage pickup (it's…

B12
I have been doing MFP since July 27 and I have had a consistent 2lb weight loss a week. I feel great for the most part, but I am fatigued sometimes in the afternoon. I had a blood test to check my Vit D and B and I got a call from the Drs. office that my B is low and I will have to have a shot every week for 4 weeks and…

Questions
when I have a salad, I am listing each individual ingredient and estimate how much I consumed of each ingredient for my portion. Is this the right approach? (I will make a salad for my husband and me, I typically add 2 Tbsps of dressing, then we divide it.) My second question is this: Some days I stay under my 1200…

Weighing fruit? How best to do it.
I eat cherries on a regular basis. I have been putting them in a measuring cup to get 1 cup. But should I be weighing them on a food scale for 8 oz?

Feeling down
I started my new eating plan around the 3rd of July. To date, I have lost 11 pounds. I'm adhering to my 1200 calories a day, counting, logging and working out at least 30 minutes a day. I got on the scale this morning, hoping for a loss of at least a half pound, but nothing. I feel like I need to work out harder, but I've…

Anybody have any ideas
I have an appointment with the ortho, but I am having a problem with the leg muscle under my knee. It doesn't hurt much when I am walking, but having to go up and down stairs, and if I turn a certain way, it feels like the muscle is tearing away and I have to grab something or feel like I will fall down. I've had shin…

Just getting started
When my husband was diagnosed with diabetes in the beginning of July, we knew we needed a lifestyle change. We both had stopped working out and were not eating a healthy diet. So far, I have lost 10lbs, he has almost 20lbs, but the most important thing is getting his blood sugar under control. We are retired, so we are…
