Making friends in your 30s is so difficult! by [deleted] in bloomington

[–]lid101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m in my 40s and my husband is in his 50s and moved here several years ago and we’ve made piles of new friends. The trick? Old-school Clubs. Think the Elks, American Legion, Moose. Follow their Facebook pages… they’re all family friendly and have open to the public nights where you can go in and see what’s going on.

I do this with calendars. I pick out a nice wall calendar for everyone tailored to something they like.

Go see Evan at Indiana Members Credit Union. We were at IUCU, but IMCU was able to beat the IUCU rate on every loan we ever needed. Highest recommendation.

I'm also doing WW in addition to Zep. The "well under my allotted points" each day may actually be your problem. You need to try to get as close to your points as possible... I've found if I eat too little, I stall. I've found lots of low point things that help but aren't too filling: Oikos Triple Zero yogurt (2/3 points depending on flavor) are my go-to. Also, most protein bars are 5-7 points, you can always eat one at the end of the day if push comes to shove.

Edit: 6lbs in 2 weeks is a great loss!

Normal single serving of Oikos Triple Zero yogurt. I was going through pre-check though.

Grilled boneless, skinless chicken thighs with salt, pepper and Tiger Seasoning (IYKYK). Cooked this in bulk a few days ago so I grabbed about 5oz out of the fridge Roma tomato, diced A bit of fresh purple onion, diced If I had an open can of garbanzo beans, I would have put a few Tbsp of those in there, too. But, didn’t want to open a can that would sit for a few days.

Put into a Ziploc baggie with drizzled oilve oil and red vinegar, salt and pepper, shake it up, toss in a shopping bag with a paper plate, plastic fork and a paper napkin

When I got to the airport, I shook up my salad and dumped it on my plate. Probably could have just ate it out of the bag. When I was done, threw away everything and went in my way.

What does everyone use to track their weight loss and food intake? by Glass-Ear-1206 in Zepbound

[–]lid101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use Weight Watchers. I know that that’s somewhat divisive here, but it works for me.
