Nikki Massie started the topic How to Join the FNC Facebook Group in the forum Open Discussion 7 years, 5 months ago
Ok! So this is something I went back and forth with in my head, frankly.
But I decided to make us a Facebook group for several reasons:
Because it’s where most of us are all the time anyway.
Because it’s an easy way to deliver important info (events, etc.) and get you BACK to the site when need be.So here are the general parameters of the…[Read more]

Nikki Massie started the topic Simple Daily Habits – Day 20 in the forum June 2017: The Simple Healthy Habits Challenge 7 years, 5 months ago
So I’ve been talking about this super useful gadget I have been using to help me drink water. I made a little video to show it to you!
If you want to check it out further you can go to https://www.ulla.io
But TIP: My friend Nikki who owns, My Bariatric Box, is putting these in her July box. So for a few dollars more than this thing costs, you…[Read more]

Once my stupid phone uploads this video to YouTube I’ll show you the device that’s been helping me with my water. Until then…how ya doing???
We’ve got 10 days left in this challenge, so if you are still working your way up to 72 oz. of water, try to consciously increase what you’ve been getting by 4 oz. per day from this point forward. You can do it!

Nikki Massie started the topic Hunger is NOT an emergency! in the forum Open Discussion 7 years, 5 months ago
This is something I’ve had to remind myself of frequently over the past nine years. Sometimes I have to remind myself many times in a day.
Hunger is not an emergency. It’s just not!
Why do I say that? Well, a few reasons:
The human body is actually built to withstand food for a good amount of time. Estimates are that the body can survive…[Read more]

Nikki Massie replied to the topic Hypoglycemia in the forum Ask a Question, Get an Answer 7 years, 5 months ago
@sarahlareina you should listen to this podcast:
It goes extensively into different factors of reactive hypoglycemia. It’s almost always triggered by intake of carbs. The thing is, though, that depending on the person, it doesn’t take that…[Read more]

Nikki Massie replied to the topic June 19 in the forum Daily Check-Ins 7 years, 5 months ago
Thank you for taking the question in the spirit that it was asked! (That was one of those “I really hope she doesn’t think there’s more to the question…” type of situation.)
For some reason the protein in milk is not enough to hold me against a second source of carbs. This is why I can’t do oatmeal w/ milk or cereal with milk, etc. It always…[Read more]

Robin Miller replied to the topic QOTD: What are your "non-negotiables"? in the forum Open Discussion 7 years, 5 months ago
My non-negotiables :
my walking. I need to not only for exercise but to reduce stress
My vitamins and supplements
my liquids
at the moment, grains and starchy carbs (other than dried beans)
The last item is due to the fact that I have learned the hard way that not only do those cause me to have a rapid weight gain with a very small…[Read more]

I’m finishing up ounces 61-80 at the moment. I’m quite sure I will be having more throughout the rest of the day as it’s just 3:20 here.
I’ve been unplugged for several hours already today.
My eating was all out of whack yesterday with the birthday party. Dinner was early and I didn’t eat much. Actually, I didn’t eat much at all yesterday. Which…[Read more]

I know right? I did the math four times!

Nikki Massie replied to the topic QOTD: What are your "non-negotiables"? in the forum Open Discussion 7 years, 5 months ago
That last is PERFECTLY understood!
That’s the reason – no matter what anyone suggests to me – I refuse to eat pasta!

Asking purely out of curiosity…
The lunch. Did it make you feel funny at all?

Nikki Massie replied to the topic Simple Daily Habits – Day 19 in the forum June 2017: The Simple Healthy Habits Challenge 7 years, 5 months ago
Let the record show that Nikki got ALL her water in before 2:30 p.m.! (And I’m not done drinking today obviously)
I am using a super cool gadget that’s been motivating me. I think I’ll do a quick video to show it to you guys later today. Stay tuned!

Nikki Massie replied to the topic Simple Daily Habits – Day 19 in the forum June 2017: The Simple Healthy Habits Challenge 7 years, 5 months ago
Admittedly, the way I worded it may have been confusing…lol.
But yeah I’m more concerned with you originating your food at home (so buy it, bring it home, figure out how it all goes together in your day). And pulling back from foods you purchase “on the go.”
So I should probably reword that one. Working on it!

Nikki Massie started the topic QOTD: What are your "non-negotiables"? in the forum Open Discussion 7 years, 5 months ago
I’ve been thinking about this concept a lot. Non-negotiables.
I feel like when I see someone really successfully losing weight and maintaining their weight loss and living good habits in the long-term, it’s because they’ve made doing those things non-negotiables. They tend to say things like, “I don’t eat X” or “I have to go work out this…[Read more]

Monday! (Why do I sound so excited?)
Today I work and then (gasp!) I think I may have a free evening for once. I’d like to go to the lake and walk because I haven’t in a while.
Woke up this morning and took the dog for a walk. Got back, and filled my water cup for the first time (20 oz.), got that down, did breakfast (egg+ wheat toast) and then…[Read more]

@kathy-p pre-made salads are fine! Remember I said you don’t have to make stuff from scratch.
The point is to get you into planning mode. Quest bars are ok if you’ve ordered them and planned for them. Pre-made salads are ok, as long as you’ve accounted for them.
I don’t eat all food that I personally cook from scratch. But I do plan out what I…[Read more]

Nikki Massie started the topic Vitamin Show & Tell POSTPONED in the forum Open Discussion 7 years, 5 months ago
This was originally scheduled for tonight but I bumped it to next week as I discovered I need to order more vitamins!
I’d like to participate with everyone else so I am pushing this back.
Also this gives me a chance to say more about what this is, why we are doing it, and how often so that folks participate.

Question: Regardless of how much water you’ve been getting…is the pursuit of water starting to feel routine to you?
It is to me!

Nikki Massie started the topic Nikki's Plan – Week of June 18 in the forum Weekly Action Plans 7 years, 5 months ago
I’m super excited because @kathy-p and I are going to be workout buddies! Basically we’re going to agree to work out one day this week and check in with each other when we show up for the workout. This is going to be mutually beneficial because I have been inconsistent about activity at best, neglectful at worst! So looking forward to that. I also…[Read more]
