Is your BP controlled by meds? I have to take 2 meds plus Lasix in order to keep it down.

Isn't that a sign of DVT?

Hard to "just Lurk"... :-)

Eating to NOT loose can be just as complicated as eating so you will loose weight...and considering this is a chat string all about health, fitness, and healthier eating...why can't you join and just modify your mental image of what we can do for you...


Cheering you on as you struggle to not loose more sounds good to my ears. Not all my friends are overweight to obese in the real world either. Some struggle with Anorexia or Bulimia. If food is an issue, sounds like this may be the right place for you anyway...just a slightly altered goal.

I would send you a squishy to have you eating to maintain!
Grandma has a big heart, not just a big body...there is love enough to go around, and then some.

So stick around if you want to...and you don't have to just lurk either.

Does anyone eat any of the Vitalicious products? They are so good with them only being 100 calories each. I eat the Vitatops but would like to try more.

Oh and how many of you use a scale for your meal preparation?

Oh and are you journaling your food intake?

I don't crave sweets very often though, mostly salty snacks, and the ranch and the sour cream and onion ones- YUM OH!!
The caramel...............yummmmmmmoooooooo!!!!!!!!!!

I would say you are probably correct. When I started eating three meals a day instead of one I gained weight in the beginning. Now that my body has adjusted a bit it is coming off.

They say when you first start drinking more water you will need to urinate a lot, but again your body adjusts.

8 oz milk

I think I should start using a scale. It would give me a better understanding of what a is portion. (I was told a serving of meat should be about the size of a pack of playing cards.) For example I was eating what I thought was an ounce of cheese, but then I found out an ounce of cheese is a 1 inch cube. Boy was I off.

I also journal and preplan my food intake. It helps keep me honest and it is a good record of what I eat and when.

That sounds great to me. I wonder what some of the sugar free syrups would be like in that drink? I have never tried them before. I really love white chocolate mochas iced but have not had one in many months (too afraid to gain weight drinking them) and would love it if I could find a healthier way to do it.
