Do you have a blood monitor to check your blood sugar? Any other symptoms?

Just made this the first time yesterday and it was good, and easy peasy! Salsa chicken...Chicken breast, salsa, can of black beans and can of corn, mix together and let cook!

Congrats on your new scale!! You will learn fast! I even weigh slices of bread and have found that they are hardly ever the weight on the nutrition label. Most often they weigh more!! A lot of foods seem to weigh more than the labels, so you will be able to tighten up on your calories!

Had to look this up, didn't know what a Chayote was. Sounds good!!

Train your mind. If someone offers me something, or even if I see something in the grocery store that I know will not fit into my daily calories, I stop and think "do I want to spend my calories on this"? More often than not I will walk away and say "nope". Get some treats that are low calorie that you really like and keep…

It helps me to have small goals, like lose 10 pounds. It feels really good to think "yay, I met that goal". I also read a LOT to learn what I need to change, I read over and over about the food scale, and finally bought one when I hit a period when I was having trouble moving the scale. It worked and makes me feel more in…

My 600 pound life, I though I was the only one who watched that for inspiration :)

Walking is my only exercise, have lost 35 pounds so far! The most important thing is to make sure you stay within your calorie limit :)

I had an uncle ask me once "so what have you been up to other than eating". :/ I too have been asked when my baby was due......

MFP had me on 1200 calories after I lost a bit of weight. I tried, I really did, but could not do it. I upped my calories to 1400 and felt much better, and I am still losing!

I would log as is and use the bacon calories as a cushion!

Brownies!! <3

I use them all the time! Don't forget to log them, they usually have a small amount of calories.

I love mine, it has taught me how sedentary I really was. I move much more now!!

I am bummed because I am stuck......for 4 weeks now. After losing some weight MFP gave me 1200 calories, but I really couldn't stick to that so I upped it to 1400. I do exercise so I get a little extra on top of that. I am trying different things to try to get thing moving in the right direction again, increased exercise,…

Exercise, diet and losing 30 pounds helped me get off all BP medication, it was an unexpected surprise!

God cares about every aspect of our lives and the struggles we have, keep praying!

Did you meet your protein goal? your fiber goal? Did you walk your pet today? Did you get out and get fresh air today? Did you smile at someone today? Try something new (could be a hobby, new food, etc)?

Crock pot cooking!

Cheerios with banana

Okay all, thanks, I know what to do now!

The treadmill hasn't been delivered yet, but what we read was we could hook up our ipad to the treadmill.

Fruit and vegetable accountability....oh boy....not the best day for me-Butter lettuce and tomato salad, watermelon, grapes, potatoes (okaay it was fries :s )

OMG I just put in Bug, generic like Hearts_2015 did and if you scroll down it actually lists a bug: Bug, 1 bug, 6 calories Hahaha!

Happens to me all the time! :p

Bug, Generic :D

I was able to get off all BP medicine after losing 20 pounds, what a great feeling! It can work for you too, eat healthier and exercise and you will get there! P.S. And my only exercise is walking! :)

You go girl!!, keep up the good work :)
