I take skinless chicken breasts and roll them in crushed Rice Krispies cereal and bake in the oven. Tastes like fried chicken only way better for you!

You are headed in the right direction. I am wanting to lose around 50. You can add me if you like. :smile:

You can add me. I am a week in and losing weight. You will do great this time and we are here to encourage you!

I am a week in and lost 4.5 this week. You may add me if you wish. We are here to support one another. You can do this...this is your time!

Been there , done that. Glad you are back. I just started on here a week ago and have already lost a few pounds. We are here for you! Add me if you want.

You can add me. I just started a week ago but have already lost some weight. The online journaling really helps me.

You can add me. I just started on here but I lost 4.5 my first week. I understand your frustration. I am a former Weight Loss Leader for a Major Corporation and I am also starting over again. You can do this!

I just completed my first week. I lost 4.5 pounds this week!

You can add me! Congratulations on your weight loss!

I am also diabetic. My doctor started me on Insulin a week ago. I have had diabetes for almost 30 years. A good place to find some meal plans for diabetics is online at the American Diabetic Association. Also there are some diabetic meal plans @ www.LillyDiabetes.com. You can add me if you want.

I just started about a week ago. You can add me!

Wow! Looks wonderful! I am watching the carbs...love this recipe!

I am 55! I am wanting to lose about 50 pounds. I just started on here this week. I have been logging every day even while at the beach. :)

Although you husband has said, he is "concerned" about your weight, please don't let this be about him. Weight loss is your journey, when you decide it is time to lose, it is your decision. You deserve to be happy and have a healthy body, not because of outside pressures, but because you are worth it. Do this for you, for…

I am here for you! You can add me! B)

My main reason for wanting to lose weight is for my health. I am diabetic and just started on Insulin. I want to have more energy and be around to see my grandson grow up. Also, I am certainly more confident when I feel good about myself and I am living a healthier lifestyle.

You are doing great! :)

I do not have Coeliac disease although I have been tested for it. I have been diagnosed as IBS-D. I have good days and bad days, stress seems to aggravate it. My doctor said I am gluten sensitive.

I would say don't go too low on your calories. If you get too low your metabolism will slow down and defeat your purpose. Make sure to journal everything you eat, drink enough water ( helps with sodium retention) and exercise if you aren't already doing so. Sometimes meds can also affect weight loss.

You can add me...I am new too! :)

I just started here about a week ago so you can add me if you want. :smiley:

Stay encouraged...YOU are doing great!! I am sure your clothes are getting loose by now...keep going girl!

I have done both....but I love, love, love the MFP journal. It is much easier to look up the calories, carbs etc.

You can add me! We are all in this together!

I would like to recommend a book to you called " Eat, Drink and be Mindful" by Susan Albers , Psy.D. This is a good book for anyone suffering from lifelong issues eating, weight and appearance. I truly believe that weight loss is more than just what we put in our mouth, we also need to get to the reason why we overeat in…

I am new here, so I am just now seeing this...but thought I would post for future reference :D .. any man that would judge you based on your size alone is not worthy of you. You are more than just your size and any man that can't see past that should be sent to the curb.

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome and the great encouragement! <3
