Friday 11/15 Weigh-In: Final Week of Fall Challenge
Final week of the fall challenge. Cindylu, I think we're the last two diehards standing. It was fun while it lasted. :smile: I hoped to lose 13.5 pounds. I lost 8.5. Didn't quite get there, but still very respectable.

Three old habits I'm trying to work on
So 2014 brings a lot this year for me. I am trying to take the weight off and start back to eating healthy. I just needed to put it in writing that I am also trying to budget more (using an envelope system) and I'm trying to quit smoking. I bought an e-cig about a week ago and so far so good. I actually took a puff of a…
It's January, Diehards!
I've seen a few Diehards who have been MIA on my newsfeed this week. Time for a check in - how's everybody doing?
Planning Meals in Advance?
Hi Everyone, Do any of you plan your meals in advance? I'd like to do this but really have just been winging it for the past 1.5 years, reducing junky carbs, and using MFP to log food / water / exercise, which has worked pretty well (87 pound weight loss; 22 pounds to go). There must be a way to automate the meal process-…
In Need of Cruise Tips
I just found out I'm going on a one week cruise in 2 weeks.I've been on 2 cruises before. The first one which was only a few days, I ate everything in site and gained lots of weight and water. The second cruise was much better. Though not on MFP, I only gained one pound in the entire week. Now that I am in a different part…
I'm back!
I am glad you all are still hanging in here. Would love to get back to the daily commitments if you are still doing those.
Oh, Die Hards! Where are you?
Please come back so we can set another challenge. I miss everyone.
Recipes - Low sodium
I made a lower sodium version of chicken chili. A study done at Bush's Beans indicated that by draining and rinsing their canned beans, you take away 41% of the sodium. Yeh!!!! A 1 1/2 cup serving of chili (doesn't sound like a lot but it is for me) is just over 400 cals and 442 mg of sodium. If I plan my day right, I can…
Happy Thanksgiving
I'm weighing in tomorrow morning because I just don't want to look at the scale on Friday. I have no idea how much sodium will be in the foods I'm not making so it makes sense. 1/2 of our party is on mfp so overall we should be ok as long as portion sizes are reasonable. I've got a lot to be thankful for: my husband, my…
Eating at high end restaurants
My husband's company brought all the 25+ years employees out for their annual luncheon. This year is was held at Michael Jordan's steak house. He cut his steak in half and his dessert in half right away and had them wrapped. He brought all the leftovers home for me and after I did my calculations, I realized I could eat it…
