    57 and have a huge goal to meet, but, my first small step is to lose the weight I regained -62. I had lost 93 but because I tried to eat like everyone else, I regained 31lbs. Lesson learned and I restarted my journey and have lost a little over 5 lbs in 2 weeks. This is a great place for support.

    Welcome. It is a journey but there are friends here on that same journey :)

    52 years "young" and would like to join! I've been on MFP since 2012, mainly to track my fitness goals and maintain my weight -- but would now like to lose 5-7 lbs. as a few have "creeped on"!

    butbygrace206 -- to add friends, just click on the person's user name/picture and there should be a box that says "Add as Friend" that you can click to add them. It then gives you an option to send a message with your friend request.

    I look forward to interacting with all of you! :)

    Rainy blustery day in the Pacific NW today :\ We went swimming last night and I did 42 laps Woohoo :D. We were planning to go hiking in the woods today but I'm more of a fair weather kinda gal LOL.

    Meanwhile, guess I'll just get back to painting woodwork today after I finish laundry and go to the grocery store. I'm going to try to make hummas today! Anyone have a great recipe to share?

    Have a terrific Saturday <3

    Warmer and peeks of sun today here :) .

    This is how I make my hummus:
    A can of chick peas ( save the liquid )
    A squirt of lemon juice
    A scoop ( big tablespoon full ) tahini
    1 clove of garlic
    A couple shakes of cumin

    Pour some of the liquid in and start processing. I keep adding liquid a little at a time till it gets the consistency that I want. Then sometimes I add soy sauce ( yummy ) , sometimes I add parmesan cheese.

    Oh my gosh you are brilliant! I made some this morning from a recipe I found online, but they added water, not the liquid from the can. I had it with my chicken breast for lunch but it was just a little blah and missing was something! I added the splash of lemon juice and cumin and it was MAGIC :D Next time I'm definitely using the liquid instead of water! Can't wait to try the soy sauce and parmesan options down the road :D

    Thanks so much <3

    When I started this quest on 12/27/14, my ultimate goal was to go from 217 lbs. to 190 lbs. by April 1st. Yippee!!!! I got there this morning - 2 weeks ahead of schedule. I am now destined for 180 lbs. by May 1st. It's always a good thing to set new goals.
