Ham and cheese on a folded tortilla, throw it in the microwave for 15 seconds to melt the cheese.

I loathe Christmas songs in general. Most irritating is Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer. It's really kind of sad and sick in my opinion.

Any sentence that starts with the phrase, 'But (insert so-called expert here) said that you need to..." really makes me laugh. Especially if they mention Dr. Oz or Richard Simmons. I mean seriously?

My "why" started after looking at pics of myself from August 2014 (not that long ago) and seeing an obvious spare tire and very large legs. Noticed I was wearing my brother's cargo shorts that even a year ago were kind of loose on me were now tighter. Also didn't help that my size 0 daughter was standing next to me with a…

I'm getting so-so support from my family but actually none from the person who I thought cared the most for me, my ex-bf. He would say he was supporting me, yet go out and party without me because "you're on a diet so you wouldn't be able to have any fun." That did not go over well with me, obviously. Feel free to add me,…

Hi Giovanni, welcome! I will send you a friend request.

People who can't forgive their relatives for an imagined or real insult. Especially mothers and fathers who won't forgive their own children or disown them, or on the other hand, children who won't forgive their parents. How those people can live with such gnawing anger and animosity is just beyond my understanding.

One of my co-workers just noticed that my face looks thinner and that it looks like I've lost weight. I'm only 31 days in, have lost 7 pounds, but it feels great that someone noticed!

Wow! That's an amazing accomplishment! High five to you!

I keep instant oatmeal, tea, protein bars, unsweetened applesauce in individual cups, Belvita breakfast bicuits and some type of healthy salty snack (really loving Sensible Portions Veggie Straws right now) in my overhead at work. I like variety and I don't get bored with my selection. Also still have a box of Poptarts in…

I schedule my exercise as if I was scheduling a doctor or dentist appointment. When my phone reminder goes off, I know it's time to exercise (if I haven't already done so that day). I have also become a label reader in the grocery store. I didn't realize how many foods including so called "healthy" foods have a whopping…

Goal for 2015 are to lose at least 30 pounds by summer so I can really look good in shorts and splurge on a new (smaller) swimsuit.

I just had Alpina Greek Authentically Strained nonfat yogurt and it's not great. Yogurt tasted off, not spoiled but didn't have the tartness I expect from a Greek yogurt and it was rather watery.

How about a fabulous 40-something? ;)

Hi, I'm currently at 221 and want to get to 175. My heaviest weight was about 4 weeks ago when I weighed 227. I'm single, work full time and I have a teenage daughter. I understand how hard it is to find the time to exercise with babies or toddlers around. It's also super easy to grab high calorie food when you don't have…

This recipe sounds delicious and easy. ^5!

I think you should add some seasoning like celery salt or maybe Mrs. Dash. I'd suggest a tomato sauce to go on top of the stuffed peppers to give it color, flavor and moisture so they don't dry out. Or you could pre-cook the unstuffed peppers and then add the stuffing. That way the stuffing mix won't dry out.

I use a Weight Watchers digital scale, about $20 at Kmart. It keeps track of my starting weight, weight I've lost or gained, and my goal weight. It's very accurate, lightweight and slim.

I was on here several years ago but didn't consistently log and so didn't lose any weight. This time I am in it for the long haul - l have lost 6 pounds in about three weeks so far. Feel free to send me a friend request. We can do this :)

I have a regular pedometer that just tracks my steps. It's a New Lifestyles Digi-Walker and most days I average about 6500 steps. That equals about 2.5 to 3 miles of walking a day, depending on the length of your stride. It's small, clips to the pocket of my pants, and accurate. I like it because I don't have to worry…

My pet peeve is the self-proclaimed experts who say, "Oh you should do such and so, I know this for a fact." This as they scarf down a large cheeseburger in front of me! I am losing the weight sensibly, not using the latest fad diet. I know I am getting healthier as I have so much more energy now and I'm starting to see…

32, great smile!

I have two things I say about coffee: "A day without coffee is like sleep." "No coffee, no workee!"

Just sent you a friend request :)

I am doing a free 30 day trial of Daily Burn. I am using the True Beginner program and I really like it. Once my free trial is up I think I'm going to cancel it though (it's $10 a month) and try fitnessblender or some free YouTube programs.

Thanks for the add! Welcome back :)

Domino's stuffed cheesy bread. So much cheese, so much sodium and calories, but so delicious!

A few things that have helped me stay on track: 1. Make My Fitness Pal a favorite - keep it near the top of your favorites list or download the app. 2. Gather lots of positive friends on MFP - they will help encourage and keep you on track. 3. Drink at least 8 ounces of water before eating, as it will make you feel fuller…
