Welcome!!! Feel free to add if you wish. I am just beginning not so sure how much support I can be especially with questions, but I might at least be able to share some laughs.

Made these 5 years ago for Christmas and they are delicious but I do better with a cake in front of me. I can pass the cake. I can't those candies!

auticus .... That is basically what I was trying to point out. And it is a SAD thing that it has ended up this way. And I did try to make it a point women are the same way if the man tries to improve himself. For this reason is why I have fought with many issues. I get tired of hearing "you have a beautiful face, eyes,…

Warning!!! If things like this are going to be posted on here you may not want to read these threads while eating. You might just choke. Chewing/swallowing/laughing none of it mixes.

I have noticed that some men get a little more defensive and possessive if the woman is losing weight. I just chalk it up to their insecurities and self-confidence. Seems they think the better looking the girl gets the more work they have to do to keep her. (And it goes the same with females) When people realize it is not…

If I choose chicken tonight... I am taking my chicken breast, Thinning it out, filling it with laughing cow garlic and herb wedge and some sliced up turkey pepperoni, roll it up, season it with garlic, oregano and parmesan. Then top it with some warmed crushed canned tomatoes mixed with italian seasoning.

Flatten out and stuff with frozen broccoli and your favorite cheese. The possibitities are endless with chicken. Baste a mixture of can of cranberry sauce and bottle of chili sauce. Thats a few I can think of quickly. Hope something helped.

Also lemon pepper seasoning works well. For a sweet and spicy flavor I mix cayenne pepper with garlic pepper season and sprinkle that on then cover with orange slices and bake. Italian dressing and sliced lemons over night then remove from marinade and bake. Parmesan crusted...Italian bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.

I do pineapple juice and teryiaki sauce. I make them into kabobs with fresh pineapple, green peppers, onions and mushrooms.

Thanks for posting. Seeing you say you do the insanity workout when others I know say its almost too much for them lets me know if I can kick my determination up a few notches I can do these "what look to be insane" workout. I was told there was no way at my weight I could do P90X, 30 day Shred, Insanity, Biggest Loser,…

tjradd73, Oh no!!! 15 would have been a nice loss but what I meant is I would have even been happy for my 7 day loss to be -5. Six day said it was -10 but I was not getting excited ahead of time. But it was a -10 for the first week. :D

I like CJ Banks, Lane Bryant, Fashion Bug and Dress Barn.

I really appreciate each of you taking the time to help me with my question!!! Thank you!!

Jennieam.... I am still trying to figure out when to fit in the exercise. Night works best for my schedule but then I can't sleep. I have not had many exercise cals to eat. I have been under calories daily because I feel like every time I turn around I am eating something. I truly feel I eat more now than I did before. I…

flinchyny.....carbs and calories before???? UGH!!! I ate Fast Food at least once a day and on most days 2 and even 3. If not FF it was definitely processed quick fix foods. I can only imagine the calorie intake before starting here!!! Thanks for all the input. I will see if it balances out during this week. I will try the…

I have cut out all caffiene. I have only been on here a week. As for the food diary it shows I am going over in protein and fiber. I am high on sugars (mostly natural). Low on carbs. Was just curious if it was something that warranted a dr visit or something to watch a while before going.

This almost makes me afraid to post anything anymore! I understand there are rules about not posting about certain things, but I am sure not everyone knows what are or are not fad diets or unhealthy. The three day diet is a "fad diet" but it also has been recommended by doctors before in certain situations. I feel like it…

Sorry you have encountered rudeness. It seems to happen on every site though. Don't be discourged. Find your support group as your main contacts and when using community boards remember not everyone is going to be as one would expect at all times. Best of luck on your journey!!!

5'4" ...296 looking to get to 175 - 145.... Feel free to add if you would like

I have both, this seems to work better for me. I did well on WW too though. I use WW for recipe ideas and more support. Figure it doesn't hurt to have and use both!

Yes, I have a ton and a half to lose. Typical first weeks for me are more like 4-6 lbs though. I think I lost 12 when I went to Jenny Craig but that is because everything was measured and I did not eat everything because I did not like most of it. I just want to make sure I am not doing anything wrong. I have heard how…

tjradd73, Thank you so much for taking the time to post the encouraging words. I know 60 lbs is a difficult challenge for a six month period. I just know if I set my goals too low then I beat myself wondering if I could have done better. If I set them "just outta reach" to "it will take a lot of hard work" then I know at…

A couple things that worked for me when I faced that before on another program. 1...I did not set the things on the table in view. 2...I filled half my plate with the better veggies. 3...I used a smaller plate. 4...I drank water while preparing the meal. I do the same thing now ... sort of. I portion everyone's meal out…

I took a before picture today and took measurements also. I feared this could be a problem with me and I needed some proof. Seeing myself everyday I am going to see the changes everyday so they will be more difficult for me and for my coworkers or people I see daily to notice. Hopefully since I have customers who come in…

I can not wait to see the results everyone has. I just joined MFP Monday night. I had set my goal to lose 60 by my birthday in March. After the week I have had so far. I am still leaving it as I would like to see 60 lbs gone by then. Good luck everyone!

I also like mine with cheddar cheese and jalapenos along with a bowl of black bean or chicken tortilla soup. YUM! I just might have to have a soup night now!

I must retain a river of water!!! I am up 10 to 15 that week :( And I can never find what it is I really want to eat. I start of with salty, go to sweet, etc. Its pure awful!!!! I SO wanna slap Eve for this!!!

I don't know the calorie count but you can take fat free chocolate graham crackers and fat free whipped cream and put them together and freeze for a "mock icecream sandwich"

25 calorie diet swiss miss hot chocolate in with your oatmeal??? Chocolate Vita tops are good, I actually thought they were too chocolatey. But I am not fond of a lot of chocolate.

They didn't use me as a part of the study!!!! I would have been a minority of what they claimed to have found! HA!!! I would not be single if I was one of their statistics. I think a lot of guys THINK that the statics is true based on dates over the last few years :explode: What a shame they go home disappointed! Maybe…
