I quit with Chantix but do not take it on an empty stomach. I use Pretzel Sticks to stay quit. It gives my hands and mouth something to do. I tried other things to quit and failed but I quit in 6 weeks with Chantix. I have not smoked in about 4 years. I did gain a lot of weight as I focused on quitting and not diet so I am…

You look great!

I remember this diet from the 1980's. At that time it was called the Heart Association Diet and a doctor is the one that actually gave me this diet to follow! I did it one time and by the third day, I was so hungry I could have eaten saw dust but I did lose the 10 pounds.

Wow! You look amazing. This gives me hope for myself.

Give her a break - she is just being a grandmother and doing what the grandchildren want. I know because I am a grandmother. When I take my grandchildren to McDonald's I get the grilled chicken sandwich with no mayo and it isn't bad. I also get the apple strips. Burger King as the BK Broiler which isn't bad with no mayo.…

Stouffer's stuffed bell peppers are good and the calories for 1 is 210. They are in the frozen food section at the grocery store. You can cook in the microwave or regular oven.

Shrimp on skewers. If you use wood skewers, soak in water before using. Peel shrimp (I leave a little of the tail on so you can use it to get them off of the skewers. Season to taste what ever that may be and put on grill. They cook really fast and are so good!!!!!!!! Large fantail works best but any shrimp will do.

It looks like you are doing every thing you can on your own. The only thing I would add has nothing to do with food but really helped me move more and that is Birkenstock Shoes. I have leg and foot pain from a stroke plus an old knee injury so it hurt every time I walked so I found myself sitting and only getting up when I…

Look at you - you are so tiny! Great Job!

It is pretty close when you eat about the same amount of calories each day. It motivates me to stay on track.

I am over 50 plus a thyroid issue. MFP has worked for me. The loss is slow but it is still a loss. Nothing else that I had done in the past worked. It has taken me over 6 months to lose 21 pounds but I am ok with that. Hopefully I will have another 21 pounds off in the next 6 months. You are in the right place and it is…

Goin to try this as soon as my bananas thaw!

Get your thyroid checked just to make sure that is not the reason. I have a thyroid problem but I can still lose on MFP. It is a slow loss but it is a loss. Before this site, all I could do was gain. If you were not eating your exercise calories in the beginning, it may take a little time to get your metabolism back up to…

A friend of mine had gout and he says it is very painful. He read about eating cherries to help the problem and it helped him. It's the cherries in the jar like they use on or in ice cream. He ate a small jar and it helped him. If you have chronic gout I don't know if it would help or not. You can add me if you like. Good…

Love Sloppy Joes! Going to give this a try. Thanks

My cardiologist said celery has negative calories as it takes more calories to chew it than it actually has. I don't know if it burns fat but it burns calories.

If you are depressed, it doesn't matter if you are fat or thin. You will still be depressed. Seek some medical help on the depression and everything else will work out. You do describe extreme characteristics in your behavior - all gun hoe one way or the other. Tell your medical person so they can makie sure you are not…

What you are wanting to do is nice. Your wife will be so happy to see you, she won't really care what you look like! Besides, based on your photo, you are already looking good.

I agree. Keep logging whether you are on the wagon or off. It makes it easier to get back on the wagon and stay on track. If you are shamed with your diary, make it private. At least then you will know what is going on for you.

Ha Ha - I only call people idiots when the tell me I have GAINED weight! You know - like I am too stupid to know I have gained weight.

I have had good luck just sticking to the MFP guidelines and I have a thyroid problem so that is saying a lot. You said you exercise a lot. Do you eat back your exercise calories? If not, you may not be eating enough calories as odd as it sounds. There are lots of opinions on eating back your exercise calories and you can…

I went undiagnosed for years with Hypothyroidism and a lot of damage was done to me. Like everyone else, I gained a lot of weight and had completely given up on any weight loss. I even considered the lap band surgery. Anyway, someone told me about MFP and it has been a life saver for me. I follow the MFP guidelines and I…

We all fall off the wagon from time to time. The important thing is getting back on which you are doing. Don't beat yourself up. It means you are human. Good Luck

I bought a new digital scale that would make huge fluctuations. For a week or two, it had me so frustrated that I went back to my old scale. If you have a digital scale, seems like they are very sensitive. I think the main thing is to pick one scale and go by it because all scales can be a bit different. Like others have…

You can stir in a Tablespoon (maybe 2) of sugar free jello pudding mix to give it a flavor of your choice.

If you eat 3500 calories daily of anything but burn less than 3500 calories per day you will gain weight. If you eat 1500 calories of anything daily and burn more than 1500 calories daily, you will lose weight. Is it healthy? Probably not for the long term but it would probably be ok for a while. I am a curious person my…

My daughter which is generally thin and petite gained a ton of weight on the depo. She has always been mindful of what she eats and her exercise but she finally went off the depo. She lost the weight in a couple of months after stopping the shot. Gaining 8 pounds over night has to be fluid. There is no way you ate over 28…

Stories like this keep me going. You look fabulous! Thanks for posting.

I have done this with frozen bananas and a little sweetner. It is so good. Never thought about doing it with other fruits. Thanks for the info. Definitely going to try peaches and some others.

The good news is that those that plan to have a cheat day tomorrow probably won't eat as much as they think they will. That's the way it worked out for me for Christmas and Thanksgiving. Good luck everyone and have a very Happy Valentine's Day!
