Consider yourself already on your way - Thanks for joining us!

Yeah - I cheat too. I know there are people who just can't cheat one tiny bit. But for me, I would fall off the wagon hard if I didn't allow myself a slight indulgence once and a while.

Hi Melannie - thanks for joining us! Keep us up to date with how you are doing and don't be afraid to ask for help. :wink:

I'm so clueless about what happened - except that it must be with " i can...." It doesn't matter, I don't need to know and dirty laundry doesn't need to air here. However, we are here for support and caring for each other. Sometimes we just have to let the little bit of the adult voice in us to overcome the instant…

Thanks! Im cool with those facts! (even though I don't get the polar bear hunting in Toronto).
-
I also don't bring any more than 1 day's portions to work. I have snack size baggies and I think they are best thing that has happened to me in a long time! I only bring what equates to one portion in each snack baggie. So I don't need to worry about my will power at work, I only need to worry about pacing myself. That…

I'm a sweet/salty person too. I really do get satisfied after an apple wtih peanut butter. It's my favorite snack. the sweet and salty granola bars are good, but high calorie. I do have them every now and then. I also like pretzels, but after watching what I have eaten for a while I realize that straight carbs really wipe…

How about a hearty /healthy soup and a piece of whole grain bread? Chicken tortilla soup works wonders for me! I usually have some frozen salmon around and that works pretty well with a baked potato and no or low fat sour cream (no butter). Or frozen shrimp tossed with ANYTHING like some brocolli and mushrooms with garlic…

Can you adopt me as a Canadian??? I live in Minnesota and most of the time would be pleased to say I was from Canada. I :heart: Canada!
-
Welcome and thanks for joining us. I look forward to hearing more on your progress. :wink:
-
Ya just gotta try the eating breakfast thing - it really does make a difference. I usually try to eat a lot of protien in the AM (egg white/swiss cheese omelet). Plan a healthy snack mid-morning. Like an apple or something like that. :happy:
-
I have learned how important it is to log my food. That lesson will stick with me forever and I carry it with me everyday. When I need more inspiration or feel like I am falling back on my goals, I log in and read the great posts and can feel the energy and stregth that we share as a group.

Hi Kim: I just came back after about a 7 week break too. I hope your wedding/jhoneymoon and now married life is going well! It's great to be back on the site with you! :happy: Julie

I am so sorry to learn of your devasting loss. It is clear that this "myfitnesspal family" has been affected as well. I did not know Janet personally, but through learning of her I have been inspired and touched deeply. I hope that all the kind words, thoughts and caring you receive are as comforting as a warm blanket and…
-
Thank goodness for the kindness and caring you showed her before she was taken from us. Thank goodness for you defending her and trying to change the cruelty of some people. Thank goodness for you sharing wtih her family all our thoughts and love. God bless you and God bless Janet who is now in a much better place without…

Yeah another Pal from my state!!! Welcome to the group and good luck!
-
Your brain is definitely working the right way, now just to get your actions to come along.. Two quick snacks which really save me: - frozen cooked shrimp, which I throw in EVERYTHING (eggs, salads, or juts plain, etc) - apple with peanut butter (very sweet and will take care of a craving!!) My favorite really quick meal:…
-
I have to refloat this question because I haven't been on for about 8 weeks and there sure have been some interesting names that have signed up! So please add on and share your name origin if you want too!
-
I have been wracking my brain and haven't come up with anything yet...... It seems wrong that it should be this hard. However, I just watched CNN Headline News report about this and there were many kudo's given to Tyra Banks - especially following the hurling of insults she received after being photographed in her…
-
Hi Amanda! Thanks for the welcome back (on a different post). Yeah, I think if you can integrate what we learn in weight loss with our perrmanent way of living it sticks. Just portion control for me has been a big thing. I have overdone it a few times over the holidays and I realize how much I hate feeling stuffed. It's so…
-
Hey - wait! I just got back on and my racing pal is leaving me???? Cheryl - do what you need to do for you. I wish you all the best in your goals and hope everything you wish for becomes yours - especially your dolphin swim. No matter what, I will think of you everytime I see a NASCAR race and have a warm spot in my heart…
-
HEEELLLLLOOOOOOO!!!!!! This is my first time on since just before Thanksgiving. Wow, what at time I have had in the past 8 weeks. I won't give you all the details, but due to a new and unexpected, not to mention totally awesome job, I just can't log in like I used too. I was thrilled to see some of my favorite posters…
-
Hey Girlfriend! Wow, good for you that you get to see it in Homestead. Seriously, it took me five minutes to look at names, grab a highlighter and make my selections. What little I knew didn't amount to anything more than thinking Jimmy was cute......That's why this is so funny. Next year I'll mess up because I'll actually…
-
How cute little spoon!
-
[Jimmie Johnson and Jeff Gordon are both class acts. It's all good. Wait till next year!! :wink: Game ON. Now you're hooked, right? ~Cheryl; STILL (and 4-ever) a Jeff Gordon fan :glasses: [/quote] Cheryl - totally hooked! With one race to go I am still in first place with my entire pool of 8 drivers. So if I can hold onto…
-
I wondered about you Mechanicmom! Well, just your name. I have only been to one Timberwolves game in my life and now that Kevin Garnett is gone I probably won't go again.... Because here in "The State of Hockey" it's all about the Minnesota Wild and my local college team hockey programs. I love hockey - so you just gave me…
-
OHG!!! I have been too busy to even log in for the past five days, so it looks like I missed a lot! CONGRATULATIONS JOANN!!!! :bigsmile: I'm thrilled for you - doing a little dance here in cold and windy Minnesota. And Congrats to you too Cheryl for making it halfway to your goal!!!! :bigsmile: WOW - some great stuff…
-
Funny stuff here! I love the 5150 info. I had no idea what that was. Big Dane, what is the roller coaster ride all about?
-
I think the bottom line is we need to feel healthy and confident in our own skin. So some of us who are experiencing change it might be similar to breaking in a new pair of shoes - you might get some blisters - but you break them in they become part of you. You don't even notice them anymore as anything besides…

Alas, I am allergic to artificial sweetners. So no can do these things. :noway: I have to stop reading or I will be in trouble 'cuz I'll go get the real deal.
