@melissa6771 - I tried to make the calzones this weekend. While not a total disaster I did something wrong with the dough. I used equal parts flour and yogurt, but I think I needed more flour. It was falling apart.0

GOOD AFTERNOON Y'ALL! I'm 44 this time around (2nd time trying) here on MFP. And I need to lose 26 lbs. Just to say I'm under 200. Then when I get there I'd like to lose another 25. But realistically 26 sounds better than 50. So anyway, my husband works out of town for weeks at a time and I do so awesome while he's gone. Like this last time (he's still gone by the way) I've lost 6 pounds in 2 weeks. But he'll be home on Saturday and then I know he's gonna wanna go eat here and there. Let me add my willpower is out the window! Also he has no problems losing or keeping the weight off. He's got muscles for days. Okay so I hope I've found "THE SPOT" for motivation, tips and tricks! Good luck to all!1

I am 43 and lost about 50 pounds 7 years ago. I went to nursing school while working full time nights and gained about 20 back. Right now I need to lose about 25 pounds to get down to 150 (at 5'6" that's within my healthy weight range). I wear a FitBit Charge 2 and usually make my 10,000 step goal or more. Five days of the week I am up at 5:00 walking (more like being dragged by) my two huskies with my husband, who is much more disciplined than me. We go 2.5 to 3 miles each morning. My problem is I get tired of tracking and stop doing it, and I go out and eat stupid stuff I shouldn't during lunchtime at work. I'm looking to add weight training into my routine and to help my 15 year old daughter who is not happy with her body lose some weight in a healthy way with mom as a supportive accountability partner. If you'd like to add me, I'll do my best to be a good partner.

@mom23mangos you can do 2/3 cup flour to 1/2 cup yogurt. The best way to make the dough workable is to do it in a mixer with the dough hook. I mix it for a couple minutes, get the loose flour from the bottom into the dough, then let the mixer go on medium until the dough starts to ball up and come off the hook. If you do it by hand you have to knead it pretty well otherwise it's a little harder to work with. You'll get the hang of it... I should make a video of myself making it. LOL3

I got it right this time! I used more flour. OMG, it's amazing!!! The calzone was a little too doughy for me, but the pizza was incredible. The kids heartily approved of both!

@mom23mangos you did great on both! The calzone dough probably just needed to be rolled out a little thinner. The pizza is better I think anyway. That's why I haven't made the calzone again. I did make the steak and cheese into a pizza as well.1

I think it depends what kind of yogurt you use too! If it's wetter, you need more flour. The fage is very dry, triple strained.0

Lasagna soup sounds intriguing, I'll have to check it out.

Thanks for the support everyone. I have two girls age 23 and 18. The 23 teaches 3rd grade and is pretty self sufficient. The 18 year old is awesome but has had a few bumps in the road this Spring. I know it will get better.2

It does get better. I was having problems with my oldest daughter too. Then she went away to university last year and things have totally changed. She's always been a very independant person so getting out on her own is what she really needed.
It will get better. Deep breaths....count to 10....and if all else fails a good kickboxing class works wonders

Oh no, my son is 16 and I keep hoping it will get easier. They aren't kids any more but not really adults mentally yet. I keep reminding myself that he has to learn from his own mistakes just like I did.
Hugs!0
