I will try to eat vegetarian for six days per week and have what I want (within reason, of course) the 7th day.
Good idea - it can definitely save calories (unless of course you pile on cheese and/or mayo).

My problem isn't calorie intake. I don't eat enough so it's a lifestyle change to have breakfast. I sometimes have lunch, but not usually.Good idea - it can definitely save calories (unless of course you pile on cheese and/or mayo).
Thank you! Can you add the link to my original post here, please?No problem - I'll do it as I don't think you are able to start a new thread with something I posted already.

If you walk on a daily basis and catch your breath a few times a week (without getting addicted to desired values or wristband rates), you can eat pretty much anything.
Yesterday, I had a veggie burrito for lunch and a small piece of chicken breast with rice for dinner.
I drank 12 bottles of water throughout the day and didn't have any iced tea.
I couldn't try the exercises because of severe pain but I'm going to try to push through it today.
I think I'm going to go back to a regime I did ages ago. I will try to eat vegetarian for six days per week and have what I want (within reason, of course) the 7th day.
How are you all doing?
Well, I guess this applies best to teenagers and young adults (so not to me either). Personal metabolism and the way in which it changes throughout the years varies greatly. Some people can eat whatever they want until they're old (without gaining any weight) but most people show symptoms of decelerated metabolism in their 40's or 50's and start to build up love handles. There are reverse cases as well: my 80-year old stepdad eats candies and junk food as much as he can but he's been losing weight gradually for 10-15 years although he doesn't do that much sports anymore, just golf (without a cart) and bowling. Of course the Cal (kilocalorie) intake has to be adjusted to personal consumption. Your calorie intake seems rather small. I never count calories (I just weigh myself every few months or so) but I guess I eat about half of what I ate during my younger and more active years.I wish that were true... I used to go to a gym, walk and swim several lengths in a pool every day. That was about 8 years ago. The only way I could get to a 'normal' weight back then was to restrict calories. Any more than 1500 per day and the weight piled on.
Yeah! I'm glad your mood is on the upswing!!!Just got home from a half working day in office. I had a piadina (a sort of burrito) filled with veggies and ricotta.
I'm going to do my pilates excercises now. Can you make some of them?
I have to say though that have a 'normal' working day in the office, by going back and forth office-set, has helped. My mood is up!
I only have to remember to drink more water, at least 2 litres. I'm almost sure I won't be succesful, but worth it a try.
Yes, I recall that. ;-)Does someone said 'MyPinch remember to have ice-cream today' ?
mmm, I'm sure someone said it

I've gained some 10 pounds during the past few years and developed cellulite and a nice "six months pregnant belly" which shows especially in the evening (or when I try to fit into my old jeans). The new RA med has elevated my cholesterol level but the doc said that a family history of no significant coronary diseases and a good ratio between HDL/LDL outweighs the increase. I exercise way too little and have bad eating habits: a lot of fatty, salty snacks like crisps/chips, salted peanuts, cheese etc. in the evening although our general meals are healthy.
I've started daily stretching and a few minutes daily recumbent biking (exercise bike with a back rest) with the most tense resistance/setting. I also say "yes" a bit more often if my hubby asks me to join him for a walk. From this day on, I'll start eating more carrots, cabbage, cucumber, fruit and frozen berries while watching tv or surfing on the net.
My hubby lost some 20 kg/44 pounds in a couple of years by changing his Coke into Zero, reducing cheese consumption and quitting eating at 6-8 pm (no evening snacks). Otherwise he eats anything, including occasional cakes, candies, chips/crisps, creamy dressings, mayo and ice cream. In general, it's the food intake/consumption (exercise) ratio that counts - not a strict diet/regimen. If you walk on a daily basis and catch your breath a few times a week (without getting addicted to desired values or wristband rates), you can eat pretty much anything.
A Finnish celebrity Aira Samulin, aged 93, once gave a good advice in a women's magazine: "Eat whatever you desire but always eat composedly and stop as soon as you feel full" (<- That might be sooner than you'd expect). She also has just one serving of alcohol at a time.
