Homemade oatmeal raisin cookies. Made them today. 99 calories each so I may have one every day depending on my calories at the end of each day.

Punch fear in the face! You can do it. Don't let the voice of insecurity rob you of the victory that is well within your reach!

I really think instead of trying to define healthy for us why not demand transparency on the ingredients! Make it known if there are hormones injected, colorings, chemically altered substances, gmo or non. Also for me I want to know where it has been. Was it processed, grown, and inspected here, or shipped out to be…

What has always worked for me is eating plenty of fruits and veggies, and drinking lots of water. I make sure to get plenty of fiber and protein as well. No need to totally eliminate certain foods, but keep in mind nutrition and make sure most of your calories come from foods that provide the good stuff your body needs.…

Today my goal is to get a couple weeks worth of recipes plugged into the recipe builder, make a list for the store and go, get my squats and tricep dips done for my 30 day challenge, and if I can find my walking DVDs in all this moving mess, do that while the laundry is going. Still getting my house in order, but trying to…

Always welcome new friends and ideas. I'm from Missouri in the USA. It's great how many places this app reaches! Wish I could travel the world and see every country and culture! Feel free to add me.

Great ideas!

@SONKISSED1 I am doing great tonight! Had a good day with my granddaughter . Stayed in my calories and got a lot done today. How are you?

@cbabie so sorry today is hard for you. Really hope you find unexpected blessings in spite of it all. Yesterday was that for me. While too personal to post online, it was beyond hard. It hurts us when our kids hurt. I think it's harder when they are grown.

@nowhere123 I really think you would be surprised at just how many might really understand where you are coming from. I battled with depression for years and no one outside of my home never knew. For me, my faith in God really changed it all. There is really so much to it, to put it into words would take a small book. That…

@bugmom92 a new cut can make you feel great! As far as the color, yolo! Have a blast with it. Love trying new things.

@theslightedgeforever I have a few that I have made that come close. I always lighten up the pumpkin pie (no one knows);) . I also make a cranberry relish that is healthier than the sauce. There is an angel food cake dessert I have made with a lemon custard filling that was light, but awesome. I will be trying a couple new…

Food pushers can be relentless! I usually say I am eating certain things for health reasons. That usually does the trick. If not I have no problem walking away.

I would either do 1/2 the taco, save the calories and eat the whole thing, or the hamburger without the bun. Pot luck, guessing you can bring dishes too? Go for veggies!

If you don't eat enough calories it will have the opposite effect on your body. So make sure to eat all or as close as possible your calorie allowance. How are your macros coming out? I know for me if my diet is too unbalanced I don't lose as well. Try minimum 5 fruits and veg, 2 dairy, and healthy oils. Also log water and…

@joycemathison1975 love that! I will be getting a few off there!

Every bite has calories. If you taste anything at work through the day it can add up faster than you realize. If you bite it write it! After you measure or weigh it of course. Sodium may also be a problem.

I can only hope!

@optiman38 is that popular there? Most I couldn't understand, there was mention of a middle finger, wow, and something about a banana. Not really sure what it all means, but the crowd seemed to like it.

No, but it's just fun! Lol. I do like the original better as far as music goes.

Just a different spin for fun. I love the original too.

I just want to hop on a plane and visit all of those places! This is great! Missouri, USA

@cbabie I can relate to the sugar monster. I have to track every bite. There are certain things I simply don't eat anymore at all. ( trigger foods) most things I can have great self control over, then there are cinnamon rolls and doughnuts. Those are my no foods. I love to bake so there are several things I make a lighter…

Anything with calories gets tracked. I personally want to be able to look back and see what did or didn't work for me. The old flex plan in weight watchers worked better for me, so I am basically eating that way. Don't be tempted to save calories by cutting fruits and veggies, they are the key to success and nutrition as…

I am just counting calories, and watching my fiber and protein. Making sure I get enough. I am also getting in all my servings of fruits and veggies, and drinking lots of water. Trying to get in my healthy oils too. I have been eating much like I did on the flex plan, just counting calories instead of points. I lost around…

Thunderstruck by 2 cellos is a great version too!

Are there specific things tempting you?

Love both of those too.

Baking is my thing. So I enjoy trying new things that fit in my plan. Especially anything with pumpkin, cinnamon, or spices that just make everything smell great! I always do all the cooking for my family on holidays so I look for traditional foods I can lighten up without anyone noticing.

@health_guard thanks so much!
