Thanks, now I craving red beans and rice LOL!! To answer your question, I think any smoked sausage will do the trick. Pick a flavor that suits your taste.

I married my husband only 24 days after the day we met!! Been married 22 years. I think both of those make me nuts!!

I just work it in when I can. It's not always easy on my schedule. On the days when exercise is not an option, I just make sure to watch very carefully what and how much I eat and get plenty of water. I try to eat lunch at my desk and exercise during lunch, but sometimes I have to use my lunch break to run errands and some…

yes, I work out during my lunch break. I am fortunate enough to work for a company that has a small gym area. There are 4 treadmills, 2 ellipticals, 2 bikes, and a pully weight machine with 4 different stations. I do not wear my work clothes for my work out and I keep a towel, baby wipes and plenty of deo in my bag. Lots…

I think you did the right thing. Even if she was fine with those lyrics for her own child, other parents may not be. I am 43 years old and I am turned off by some of todays unedited lyrics. Those songs are just fine and just as fun without the explicit language. I really would not want my 12 year old hearing such.

I don't think it is sad at all. #1, you are setting a good example for your daughter, #2, you are spending time with your daughter and she probably enjoys it and it helps to keep you motivated, & #3 she is getting to burn off some energy rather than bouncing off the walls.

I buy transition clothes at thrift shops and outlet stores (brand new jeans $6.00). I have also done clothing swaps with other friends who are also on a weight loss journey.

Thank you. I needed a good laugh. I will admit, I "dote" over my husband at times. Not because he expects it, but because I like doing things for him. He is terminally ill and lives a fairly restricted life while I am at work and the kids are at school. I know that he does not feel the role of the provider so I try to make…

many ice cream shoppes offer no sugar added options

I love this, I also enjoy adding a bit of peanut butter!!

I have lost my footing, but have not taken a complete tumble..........yet. It is a fear of mine though.

peanut butter m&m's beat them all hands down

trust me, I have been there. Just keep a positive mental attitude. Sometimes it takes a change in routine to get it moving again. If you do the same exercise all the time, try something different, even if it is less intense. I have reached a time right now that my work out time is very limited. So with way less calories…

my weaknesses are strawberries (they give me mouthgasms), watermelon, and fresh ripe tomatoes sliced with a bit of salt and pepper or maybe made into a tomato sandwich.

very inspiring!! Thank you for sharing. I also started at around 218. I know there is hope!!!

I like to boogie oogie to disco. I know it sounds corny, but I find hard not to be shaking my groove thing when it is playing.

you will get out of MFP what you put into it. If you don't like the snarkiness of the forums, don't post questions there. Put them in your own newsfeed only for your friends to see and answer.

I try to sell mine to get a little cash to buy more

OP, please take a second look at your profile pick. You have the secret right there!!!

It is Friday, it is pay day, AND I lost 2 more pounds!

Have you tried taking melatonin? It is a chemical found in your body. My 11 year old has had a sleeping disorder for years. His neurologist suggested it. Also, try eating a very high protein meal or evening snack. That will help you stay full.

Yes, yes, and yes. Logging my entire day ahead of time helps me not only to plan better, but helps me to stick to that plan.

Today I feel confident and motivated.

All of them. That's what led me to MFP.

I felt that way a lot, and still feel that way often. I have recently done a ladies study about insecurities where we discussed this very thing. Look at him, at his body. Is it perfect? Chances are that it is not. It is very possible that he has the same insecurites about his own body that you do about your own. Women tend…

Congratulations!! That is awesome, not sad at all.

Start with a low resistance and work your way up.

I have a very special place in my heart for the elliptical. I love that machine. Don't like too many of the other machines.

intelligent

I try to avoid them as much as possible, but in this fast paced day it's just not always possible. If I do have them I try to limit myself to 1 serving or less. But when someone like me whose day starts at 4:30 a.m. then works full time, cares for a sick husband, a teenager, and a special needs child and your day does not…
