Thanks for sharing! Very inspiring story!!!:flowerforyou:

Probably one of the biggest changes I have made is weighing and measuring everything. It is so helpful and a good education to see what portions are supposed to be like.

I eat 6 meals a day, 8 glasses of water and I am rarely hungry. You are welcome to look at my diary for ideas. Biggest secret for me is to plan my meals the night before and log them in. In the morning I allow enough time to pack everything I need. I make sure to eat all 6 meals close to the same time every day as much as…

Love Nutella! Use whole fat products. I did have a small window when I ran into the same problem, but not anymore. I love to eat and found w/ careful planning I could get it all in. I love graham crackers w/ nutella and strawberry rhubarb jam and a glass of milk. Bananas are good too. I also include almonds, walnuts and…

Congrats on your wt loss! So exciting. I would love to be on your friend list. Feel free to add me! :flowerforyou:

Spray a grill pan or saute pan with pam. Let it get nice and hot. Sprinkle chicken w/ salt and pepper. Put chicken in hot pan and cook till just done and lightly golden on both sides. In a bowl throw in 1 cup spinach, 1 cup coleslaw mix, sliced baby carrots, celery, bell pepper. 1 cup sliced strawberries. 6 chopped…

I really like a graham cracker with a T of Nutella and a T of Strawberry Rhubarb jam with a glass of milk. Its so filling and such a delicious treat after a good workout. I use it when I need some easy tasty calories. Good Luck!:tongue:

Hang in there! Keep posting. For me my biggest success comes from planning ahead. I update my food journal the night before and pack all snacks and lunch in the morning. Weighing in on Monday mornings instead of daily has been very grounding. Most of all following my journal calories and doing my 5 days a week excercise,…

Congrats on the log ins. I think it is a crucial part of our success. I love MFP and have also been telling everyone about it. I love the app on my phone. So extremely easy to use. Its the first time in my life that I feel that I have a key to long lasting success. Good luck everyone!

You certainly have come to the right place. This site is life changing. Feel free to add me as a friend if you would like. The diary format is very user friendly and informative. The support is great. Ask questions on just about anything and there is usually someone out there to help support you on your journey. Keep…

My waist got smaller very quickly, which in turn made my hips look quite enormous!

I eat 6 meals a day and it is working for me! Feel free to view my diary. My daughter switched to 5-6 meals last week and saw a good wt drop this last week. I am rarely hungry. The biggest secret is to plan ahead. I always have snacks and pack my lunch so I am never hungry. Good luck!

I m really liking Nutella lately.

Pasta. I love a big plate of pasta. Or at least I use to. Now I measure everything! I have been meaning to make a batch. Hmmm, maybe this weekend.

Welcome to a very great site! I love the interesting topics, the user friendly diarys and most important the friends I have made on this site. Its a terrific tool. Good luck!:flowerforyou:

I also think it is a good learning op. I just would ask myself what I would do differently. I know for me I cant make it work unless I plan my meals the day before. From the time I wake up I am on auto-pilot. I know what I am eating and when.

I travel for a living. I keep my shoes in the car and when necessary I do my walks out in neighborhoods, country paths or downtown citys.

What a great site! Thanks so much for sharing! I love the info I pick up on MFP!

Ahi Tuna on a grill pan is fantastic w/ wasabi on the side. Best cooked Med. rare. Love swordfish...not sure if it is politically incorrect these days. My favorite way to fix Salmon...Put a piece of foil on your baking pan, rinse salmon and pat dry. Put on foil. Rub a little olive oil on top, squeeze w/ lemon juice,…

Yummm! My health goal this week is to eat a Vit A produce every day. This would do it!

I made old fashioned oatmeal with milk this morning and swirled in a T. of Nutella when finished. YUMMMM!

I could and have easily spent $150 for 1 person. In those days I did tend to waste food w/out thinking too much about it. I am currently on a Financial Plan that MFP fans recommended. (Dave Ramsey TMMO). I am really strapped for cash right now so I am spending $16 to $25 dollars a week. Lots of beans and lentils daily. I…

Thank you for sharing! Very inspiring!!!

Thanks, I just signed up for her recipes. I practice mostly clean eating. I have recently side tracked w/ a few low cal splurge snacks when I am feeling a bit deprived. Looking forward to baking up some of her suggestions instead.

MFP is very user friendly. I LOVE it. So far 8 pounds lost. Good luck!:flowerforyou:

Im in for 10 pounds. Thanks! 164 goal by Halloween.:happy:

Good luck. I am just coming off that same illness. Its been over 3 weeks. I still have a cough but finally feeling better. I faithfully kept to my meal plans and logging. Excercise was very hard. I havent been active in a while so I started out slowy last Monday with a walking schedule. Training for a 5k and did not want…

Im in! I have a 9 week training program I started last week. My goal is to walk a 5k Race for the Cure Oct 22nd. My schedule is already set for Sept. Thanks!:flowerforyou:
