A few years ago when I was doing weight watchers, they said that any non-caffeinated beverage could count as the water requirement. So pop can count as long as it's caffeine free.

In addition to losing over 100 pounds, you've also taken a good 10+ years off your appearance. Way to go!!

Six months is pretty typical between visits, especially if the cells were found to be "ASCUS." This means they aren't typical looking cells, there are some changes, but they are not cancerous. Sometimes these abnormal cells can be a result of inflammation or infection and by the time the pap test is repeated, the ASCUS…

Good bread with butter. I could live off it. Forget dessert, just give me a fresh baked roll and real butter. Second to bread would be cheese. I love cheese! And for those two reasons alone, I am on MFP!

I've been wanting to try these for a while now and after reading all the posts I will definitely be getting some tomorrow! Thanks for the recipe ideas!

Way to go on your 12 pounds and on increasing your endurance. What an accomplishment! Aside from losing the weight and the health benefits you are gaining, it just feels darn good. What a day brightener! Keep up the good work!

Alicia Silverstone's The Kind Life website has some great tips and recipes.

I've done this with white cake and root beer. Use dream whip powdered topping mix with root bear as the liquid as the frosting. Root beer float cake!

Beautiful story. Thank you for sharing roaddog!

I have to agree with everyone else who said food scale. It has made all the difference. Second, measuring spoons. Since I am normally a latte girl, when I was making coffee at home it seems I had been preferring coffee flavored creamer as opposed to creamer flavored coffee. I was shocked to discover I was probably drinking…

You look amazing! What great work. You will enjoy the health benefits for years to come. Strong is the new beautiful!!

I am also trying to shed those last 10 pounds of baby weight...except the baby is 2 years old. After baby #2, I was successful in finally losing all the weight when he was 3.5 years old. Three months after meeting that long-awaited goal I was pregnant again! So here I am once again. It's a lot harder to lose the weight at…

I think a cheat day is necessary. I need to give myself permission to have a day where I am not counting every bite. It makes it easier to "behave" the other 6 days of the week. This especially true during football season, when my cheat day is Sunday! :wink:

I agree with everything other posters have said about meal and snack choices. It can be hard to change your eating habits at first, but you will find your cravings change after you have done it for a while. I have also found that changing the mindset from "eating to lose weight" to "eating to be healthy" has made a…

Like others have said, you will find it easier to avoid fast food the longer you go without eating any. It doesn't take long before it stops sounding appetizing. For me, though, it is a Pandora's box. I can go a long time without a stop at McDonald's, but one "slip" and I am having the frequent cravings again and have to…

Better Oats Abundance apples and cinnamon oatmeal

Sometimes those pounds can be soooo tricky! My goal is to lose 13 pounds by the end of May. Seems like a long time away but pounds stick to me like you wouldn't believe. I lost 3 pounds the first two weeks and the third week gained one back somehow (I'm not even sure how because I have been very diligent with my calorie…
