Just wanted to tell y'all the Garlic Parmesan Spaghetti Squash recipe from yesterday's blog rocked. It was delicious and will definitely go into my menu rotation. I do have a question. How do you bookmark something? I cannot figure it out. I noticed a couple of you posted about make no quilts. I enjoy quilt making big too.…

Hello everyone. It's a beautiful day in east Texas. So far today has been really good. I'm tracking and staying on plan. I'm going to make the Garlic Parmesan Spaghetti Squash that was on yesterday's blog for dinner tonight. I'm only making 1/2 the recipe though because I know my daughter & grandkids won't eat it. They…

Hello. My name is Grace. I think I posted on here a few months back and then just completely quit trying. Don't know why, I just did. Anyway, today was my first day back on plan and it was a great day. I'm going to get up in the morning and do it all over again. My goal for December is simple; consistency is what I'm…

Thank you all for your input about my granddaughter. I've been talking to her a lot about portion control. I'm going to get her a set of measuring cups & spoons to help her be accurate. I know she can't control what her mom cooks but she can learn to control how much she eats. School is about to start back so she won't be…

Good morning! I don't think I checked in yesterday. It was busy with the grandkids. Both grandsons have gone to spend a couple of days with my folks. My oldest granddaughter has come to stay with us while her brother is gone so I have both my grandgirls. One is 11 & the other will turn 3 tomorrow. The 3 year old is a…

My dinner looked so pretty I wanted you to see it. Zucchini noodles with mushrooms, red chilies, garlic, fresh ginger, shrimp & a splash of low sodium soy sauce. Delicious

Hello everyone. It's a hot day here. I had to take my DGS to finish registering for school today. School starts back on the 22nd and my three oldest grands go back. My oldest DGD will be in 6th and the two DGS in 3rd. I'll be at home with the youngest DGD who turns 3 this Saturday. I'm really looking forward to the routine…

I've only been on here a couple of days and I have to say you all are a super nice bunch of girls. To the newbies just posting today, a big welcome. I found a new not so guilty pleasure this evening that really satisfied my sweet tooth. I heated one cup of unsweetened almond milk then added 2 tbsp no sugar added Nesquik.…

Hi ladies. Good day so far. Marcelynh, I'm north of you in the piney woods of east Texas and it is disgustingly hot and humid here too. I think I've opened my shades twice in the last two months. I have a question for anyone who is experienced with keeping the carbs low. I really think because of my age & the fact I'm so…

I got through my afternoon without screwing up my day. I loaded the grandkids in the car and we went to the Sonic. I had a diet green tea & they had slushys. It finally cooled down into the low 90s and I got a short walk in. I had my 2 year old granddaughter with me so a long walk wasn't an option. Her little legs were…

Hey y'all. Feeling lonely and a little frustrated today. You all don't know anything about me so if it's alright I'll share a bit. I'm 56 years old. I've been married to a great guy for 37 1/2 years. We have 3 grown kids. Our son is 33, in a relationship with a lovely woman. She has kids from previous relationships. We…

Thank you all for the warm welcome. I haven't quite figured out how all of this works as far as posting and replying but I will. I decided to set a few doable goals for August 1. Track everything no matter how bad it may be. 2. Drink at least 64 ounces of water a day in addition to my morning coffee. I don't drink enough…

Hi. I'm new here although I've been using mfp off and on for a couple of years. I turned 56 on July 30th and when I turn 57 next year I'd like to be a whole lot healthier. I've been fighting this weight war far too long and it's time to have some victories. I've committed to tracking no matter what, and focusing on…

Sounds delicious. My family will probably like it too.
