40 grams fiber per day?
I just read on Dr. Weil's site a recommendation of working up to 40 grams of fiber per day. This was in an article about an antinflammatory diet. When I checked it out on a few other sites there was a huge range of recommended fiber. For excellent weight loss, 35 grams was recommended several times. Any insights/experience…

exercise after salpingo ooferectomy ( ovary and tubes)
I had this surgery 4.5 weeks ago. I am up to several walks daily of one hour each. I am doing hills ( living in the land of hills) and stairs as part of my walks. I am wondering about the next level of healing. Do I move onto the elliptical? I think running ( and any other cardio with impact)vwill be last and of course…

thinking of temporarily putting scale in the cupboard......
I do not fit into this cupboard by the way. So no climbing in and climbing on.I've never done this. I am close to a weight I'd be happy at - about 10 pounds away. I found MFP in May, and after several months of comparing WW, I retired from WW as I found I was learning a lot more on MFP at this time. I've learned I must eat…

basic basic questions?
1. I'm just new to the 30DS. Did Day 1 of level 1 on You Tube. Is the idea to repeat that video for 30 days or is there a new one for each day? 2. Is level 2 for the second month in- and does each level go for 30 days? 3. Do you have to purchase it or can you get through it on you tube? I don't own any of my own weights…

Do you count the walk to work or no?
I walk 30 minutes to work; 30 minutes home. The route is half moderate incline and half extreme incline. Normally I'm walking at a moderate pace, unless I'm late in which case I speed walk and it's between 20-25 minutes. When I first started MFP I counted it. I work out about 4-6 times per week for an hour ( aerobic mostly…

Thyroid help!
My TSH came back this week at 9. It used to be at about 6 and I decided not to take meds for it. That was about 9 months ago. I am researching ways to approach this without medication and would love to know if anyone out there has had luck with this alternative approach. Found resource called Fire Up Your Thyroid and…

I MISS GOOD BREAD WITH LOTS OF BUTTER
I'm exhausted and when I'm tired the will power that I do have dwindles. I was tired and hungry and on my way to the gym but really wanted to eat dinner and sleep. Long long days as a therapist listening to others, helping them out. No breaks. Feeling depleted and discouraged. So getting ready for the gym I ate chocolate,…

running confused - how old is too old?
I'd love to hear some general thoughts and specific experiences regarding running as a senior. I did hurt my neck twice over the last four years and had to stop running both times. I have some degenerated discs as do the majority of people my age. Nevertheless, I've built back my neck and throracic back over the last year…

eat before morning exercise
Is anyone not eating before morning exercise? I used to think it would burn fat if I didn't eat before. But now I'm finding myself waking up and hungry and wanting to eat before.

What's the best food scale?
I went to buy one this morning and all they had was one which measures in kg. The breakdown was as low as 200gm with 5 measurement lines in between each 200gm marker. Is that low enough or should I be looking for a smaller one and one that will also weigh in ounce? This one seems like it may be too high in its units.

Calorie allowances from exercise - To Use or Not To Use?!
Does anyone else not use their added calories from exercise that are added onto the base number of calories needed per day? I am not using them. I am having enough trouble just reaching the 1200. I am losing weight at a moderate pace. I am feeling pretty good- although sometimes a little tired. Sometimes i think that is…

counting water
Should I count cups of tea/coffee when I'm checking off how many glasses of water I'm drinking - or do I only count pure unadulterated water?
