Tovala Meals
Has anyone had the Tovala meals and oven? I did Factor meals for a while and they were ok. I know I could cook pretty simply at home but I just need a good jumpstart with prepared meals and to get me through a knee injury I have. Just wondering if anyone had an opinion about Tovala or any other prepared meal services. Not…

Anyone else eat out everyday?
I need to make more of an effort to eat at home. I’m trying to stay within my calories/macros but know I’d be better off cooking. It’s a combination of me being lazy and living by myself so no need to cook for anyone else. I would probably also save money. Just wondering if anyone else also eats out all the time.

How do I break my fast food addiction?
I’m pretty good with staying within my calories/macros when eating fast food but it’s still hurting my weight loss. I barely lose when eating fast food, it’s probably the sodium. I’ve increased my water intake but that doesn’t help much. I lose so much better if I cut out the fast food and eat at home. The problem is I…

Insulin resistant? What’s working for you?
Just staying under calories and moderate carbs isn’t working for me. I’m guessing I need to go low carb. Just trying to see what others are doing who are insulin resistant.

Anyone have any weight loss success with lymphedema?
If so, what is your diet and exercise routine like? I’m frustrated due to fluid retention.

Have you ever cried on the scale? Not happy tears.
I’m over 400 lbs and am losing at a snails pace. I gave it my all this week. Weighed and measured every morsel, stayed under my calorie and carb goals and drank about 100oz of water a day. I thought I was going to have an awesome weigh in and lost .8. Not even a pound! I just burst into tears. It sucks when you try so hard…

Has anyone noticed if sleep affects your weight loss?
I’m not talking about lack of sleep and no time to cook so you wind up eating junk food, but just lack of sleep impacting weight loss because of hormonal changes or other internal changes. Just wondering if it really makes a difference to maintain a sleep schedule and sleep well.

Dinner and Vegetable Help
I have meniscus tears in both my knees (long story) so I am not very mobile and can’t stand for more than a few minutes. I’ve been living off of drive thru food and delivery but it’s getting expensive. I need an easy way to get my vegetables in. Was thinking maybe I should start doing vegetable smoothies every day or maybe…

Knee Osteoarthritis
Besides knee replacement and cortisone shots, does anyone have any treatment that helps knee pain?

Chocolate
After dinner I like to have something sweet so I usually have a square of Ghiradelli. I prefer dark chocolate but all kinds are good. I’ve tried Dove and a few of the other grocery store brands but was wondering if anyone had a favorite type of chocolate I could try. I’m willing to order it online and will pay a little…

Anyone over 400lbs?
I find it’s a whole different ball game when you have so much to lose. Definitely different fitness challenges and overall just more difficult.

Any single people eating healthy?
Do you cook every day? I’m finding it really difficult to come up with dinner ideas. I wind up eating out most of the time. I really don’t enjoy cooking and kind of find it depressing to make a meal for one.

Grieving in Quarantine
Sorry this is a downer of a post but I really need ideas. I lost my Dad last week from lung cancer. It has been brutal. The death is bad enough but funeral planning over zoom isn’t fun and actually not having a funeral at all is awful. The worst is not even being able to hug my mom. She just doesn’t want to take the chance…

Is counting calories disordered eating? Shouldn’t we be able to not overeat?
I wish I could just eat like a “normal” person and not count calories.

Any swimmers with an Apple watch?
Looking at the Apple watch 5 and want to use it to track pool workouts. Obviously there’s only certain bands that can be used in the water but does it matter if you have an aluminum or stainless steel watch?

Really struggling with portion control
I am not giving up carbs, fasting or doing any other trendy diet. I’m simply just trying to eat like a “normal” person. Eat everything but stay within my calorie range. It blows my mind how small actual serving sizes are! I feel like I’m not satisfied unless I have more than 1 serving of everything. Any words of wisdom?

Best shoes for plantar fasciitis and a lot of walking
I know this gets posted quite a bit but looking for current recommendations. I have plantar fasciitis and achilles tendinitis. I pretty much only wear Birkenstock’s but can’t walk for a long period of time with them. Friends invited me on a Orlando vacation for 5 days with minimal expenses, yay me! I was so excited I…

For those who are single, do you cook?
I eat out A LOT. I don’t have a hard time staying within my calories because most places have nutrition posted. I do get hungry often because I’m eating fast food for the most part (mostly sub sandwiches and chicken). I could eat a lot more and more healthy if I cooked myself. For example I’ll probably go to Taco Bell…

How to get over being sad and lonely
Warning, this is going to be a pathetic post. I just can’t find anyone. I’m in my 40’s, single, no kids. In a hook up culture no one wants a relationship anymore. I was opposed to dating someone with kids and finally caved since I’m eliminating a large percentage of the dating pool. Dated someone for a few months and it…

Anyone go or been to a UFC gym?
I have quite a bit of weight to lose and was looking for some personal training. I know if I go to a big box gym they will just throw me on a treadmill. Was thinking about doing CrossFit or some boxing. I would want a trainer to go at my own pace as I couldn’t keep up with a class. I also have terrible plantar fasciitis so…

At what age were you the hottest?
My goal now is to lose a ton of weight, get in great shape and be hotter than I once was. Looking back, I think I was at my best in my late 20's, I'm 42 now. I may not have been in my best physical shape in my late 20's but I felt good, I was working out, just in a good place which made me feel "hot."

Dating Protocols-Paying
I’ve been out of the dating scene for a while and was wondering how paying for a first date works. Historically, I’ve offered to pay but the guy always says, no, I got it. Met someone online and met for drinks. We were there about 3 hours and I just had 1 glass of wine for $6.75. The bill came and I offered to pay and he…

Anyone else working on their revenge body?
Of course I want to lose weight and be the healthiest I can be but revenge is my main motivator at this point in time. Yes, the revenge mentality may give way eventually but right now it’s working.

Are you satisfied with two pieces of pizza?
I’m really struggling with portion sizes. I have a really hard time just eating two pieces of pizza, 5 tortilla chips, 1/2 cup of ice cream, etc.. Granted this is all “junk” food but I am not ready to eliminate foods I like completely so I’m trying to fit them into my calorie allowance. Sometimes I’ll have enough calories…
-
It must be the sodium...
I feel like I can never eat out ever. If I eat at home all week, I’ll have a good loss. If I eat out several times a week, Even though I’m still within my macros, I maintain. Either restaurant portion sizes and calorie information is way off or it’s sodium retention. This isn’t just an isolated week, I’ve noticed this in…

Is anyone still working on getting rid of their holiday weight?
I was hoping to be back down to my pre holiday weight by today but just weighed and I’ve got 1.6 lbs to go. Darn Christmas cookies!

Can someone answer a keto question for me?
Can you have cheat meals on keto or by doing so does it take a really long time to get back into ketosis? I have well over a hundred pounds to lose and have been plugging away with adhering to my calories and moderate carb diet. It’s working but progress is slow. I’ve been fighting keto for a while because I want this to…

I get mad I can’t eat whatever I want
I’m a grown adult and know I can’t eat pizza, french fries, cheeseburgers, and ice cream all day but I want to! When does the mindset change where I’m happy eating a healthy meal? I know I can eat small portions of those foods but it’s just not the same.

Where to meet single men in their 40’s?
This seems like a dumb question and maybe it is but I’m having a really hard time finding single men in their 40’s. They are all married which is to be expected at that age I guess. Online dating has resulted in nothing but men lying about being married or only wanting a fling. Are there any good guys left?

Single and Resentful
I love my family dearly but am feeling a little resentful today for having to shell out money again for a family occasion. I’m the oldest of four and unfortunately single. Over the years I have spent thousands on weddings, showers, bachelorette parties, baby showers, christening gifts, etc.. It’s not that I don’t want to…
