It would depend on the size of the potato and the power of your microwave - but you might try about 3 minutes, turn and then 3 minutes more? ...if not done to your preference at that time, then add a couple of minutes at a time until it's as you like it!

Welcome and good luck! Hang in there - we're rooting for you!

Not weird at ALL! Congrats! I remember when I got winded just walking a few stairs! It's so nice to know I'm not 'that person' any more! Keep up the good work!

i sent you a friend request! good luck! :happy:

I like to grab a banana - or an apple cut up and shaken with peanut butter powder - or a Weight Watchers string cheese stick!

INXS - Devil Inside - and several others by INXS!

I used to be 'addicted' to Coca-Cola! Seriously! I drank a can as soon as I got out of bed every morning! I tried to justify it to myself by thinking "other folks drink coffee, but I drink Coke!" ...but that was just the first one of MANY Cokes throughout a day! I promise I probably had as many as 8-10 cans of Coke (or…

Hey, Spike, GREAT JOB! ...but we want to see 'full-length' pics side by side if you got 'em!! ...well, you could crop the spikey legs! :)

I'm sorry to hear you don't like fruits and veggies, but everybody's taste buds are different! I love fruits and veggies myself, and I'm not advocating that you NOT eat them, but since you seem to not be able to tolerate many, it can't hurt to supplement your diet with stuff that will add the necessary nutrients. I…

You look awesome before AND after - but wow! The AFTER is even MORE awesome! Great job! I think maybe you should save the dress though - you might regret it some day if you don't! :)

I love Bill Murray's "Scrooge" (in the movie "Scrooged" - I think I'd like to either be him or his "ghost" played by Carol Kane - she is HILARIOUS!

Tough to narrow it down to just two! ...but I have watched "The Day After Tomorrow" over and over - same with "Independence Day" - and although I'm a 60 yo grandmother I love ANYTHING that's Disney Pixar - particularly "Wall-E"! :)

GREAT thought bruthacuervo: "someone already finds you beautiful just how you are"! Also, Rogiefrieda, keep in mind that mom may be going through some stress of her own in addition to the stress related to getting ready for your wedding! Be glad you still have her in your life and that she wants to do things with you and…

I've lost 31 pounds since July 29th this year - I still have approximately 50 pounds to go - if I can get a few more off beyond that, well, that would be great too! ...but I mainly want to get HEALTHIER! In my case, that also equates to losing the pounds! Anyway, good luck and we can certainly be MFP friends if you want to!

YES! i was on it for a while - increases appetite and several other side effects that are "detrimental" - i was soooooooooo glad to finally get off of it and get back to normal!

I was recently diagnosed with high blood pressure and put on a low-sodium diet. One thing the doc neglected to tell me was that in losing all my sodium (and water weight), I needed to bump up my potassium. I began having severe leg cramps (charlie horses) in my calves and feet. Long story short, I started bumping up my…

Welcome, It's_My_Time!! I've only been on MFP for around 70 days, but it has been such a help in my journey back to health and fitness! Hang in there and stay steady! YOU CAN DO IT!

Good reply! I've found a couple of good, low-sodium pizza recipes on-line (I'm on a low-sodium diet) - but your idea sounds very quick, easy, and GOOD! I may have to try that myself!

Don't feel bad that you didn't know - I didn't know either! My daughter had to tell me that it means "Non-Scale Victory"! In other words, a "victory" that is not necessarily reflected by weighing yourself! I had an NSV of my own recently - at least I considered it an NSV! At work we had a special charity event going on - I…

I mainly keep an eye on my sodium intake - but I try to watch calories and fat grams as well. I've also begun walking on the treadmill as much as possible - however, I haven't been able to the past few days! I plan to begin again today! I think the main thing that has helped me more than anything else is incorporating LOTS…
