Are there chronic pain/fibro support groups/threads in here?
I have tried searching, and just scrolling through for pages on end, but everything I can find is years old, even though I have set my filters to only allow recent posts. Do you have any to recommend? Thanks much for any suggestions :)

Anybody else cooking multiple meals bc of your diet?
I don't really want to debate the specifics of WHAT I am doing. It is not super low calorie, and it is approved by my Dr., and it is working. That being said, as much as I think that it is a good idea for ME right now, it is not fair to saddle the entire family with all of my restrictions. Most of the time I try to make…

"Desperation leads to degradation"
That is a line from a book that I am reading. Gosh, it just clicked with me so much. I know that when I don't plan to have healthy choices, let myself get too hungry without obvious good options, etc. I end up just desperate to eat. When I make really crappy choices because of poor planning, I feel like crap for "failing"…

Best tortillas and wraps
I did try to search so forgive me if this has been asked... I just started logging again, and discovered that the tortillas I was using to make wraps are 270 calories each!! I remember trying some wrap things before but they either crumbled when I tried to wrap them, tasted awful, or had a bizarre spongy texture. I'd love…

How to get in shape quickly for basic training?
This is for my dd. She is at a good weight, and also pretty strong for a girl, but definitely needs to seriously whip herself into shape before she leaves. She is looking both at apps for tracking (I suggested probably endomondo for running) but also a PLAN laid out to help her know what to do. We are looking at getting…

How would you count this?
I am just back to logging after a long time, and I forgot to check whether this restaurant had NI available. It's a chain... I just assumed. Lesson learned. IAC, I had this sandwich: GRILLED TURKEY BREAST SANDWICH "Handheld Thanksgiving" served on an egg bun with traditional spices, seasoned mayo, lettuce and cranberry.…

People with serious chronic pain issues-how do you do it?
How do you make yourself move when everything hurts so much? How do you get over the fear that one tiny wrong move could put you down for days? I am still recovering 2 weeks later, from popping my knee weird just walking down the hallway. I have serious, chronic issues that will not go away, and according to multiple…

Please help me figure out what to log
I never just eat out without trying to figure out what to eat first, but today we started off in one direction and then dh really wanted to go get Indian food. I thought I could look things up once we got there while I was trying to decide, but then they only had the buffet open. I don't even know what a lot of this stuff…

Where can I find modified exercises/stretches?
I have a lot of weight to lose, and I also have a lot of physical issues. Is there a website which shows different stretches and simple exercises that I can use to at least start to do things? I have a ball and I have been doing some basic stretches, etc. and I think they are doing some good things with my flexibility and…

Is there an inherent problem with carbonation?
I have cut sodas out almost completely, and have cut WAY back on artificial sweeteners. I picked up some flavored but unsweetened seltzer water for a change of pace. I was just curious if there is some issue with the carbonation in this that will be any issue whatsoever. TIA!

How much is too much fruit?
I am currently eating a banana a day, a grapefruit or 2 cuties, and maybe some berries or an apple, as well. Sometimes I end up with 4 servings. I also eat a fair number of veggie servings (typically at least 3 or 4). I am RARELY adding sugar or sweetener to anything. My other sugar comes from things like yogurt, other…

Need some guidance about correct calorie level
Yeah, so... apparently, even though I had originally set it to lose 1 lb/week, something glitched and the calorie limit had me at the goal to lose 2 lb/week (1350) even though it SAID 1 lb/week. I re-set it to the 1 lb/week, and suddenly I have 656 calories left today! Now I'm not sure what to do. I haven't been dying…

Trick for taking fish oil
I was at an appt with my mom when her doctor told her she needed to take fish oil. She made a face because she had tried it before and said it made her have fishy burps all day, lol. He said she should freeze the pill and then take them just before a meal. With it frozen, he said it will wait until it passes through the…

Looking for healthy freezer meals and sides
I am looking for healthy meals that I can make and freeze for future times when I need to just pull something out, heat it, and serve wtih fresh veggies (not really soups, though, as I already do those). I have a million kinds of raw chicken in different marinades in there already. I also have black beans and cooked sweet…
