I went to the website you posted & found out that this cookie made as you posted is 475 calories, way to many for my calorie count. Maybe it can be revamped to be lower calorie ??

I am stuffing an over sized zucchini with extra lean ground beef ( can use any ground meat) mixed with chopped onion , garlic, several other spices, 1 egg, worshirster sauce. I put some nugget potatoes , & carrots ( hubby does not like zucchini) in roaster also .

Use regular oats or steel oats not quick oats!

I agree with this person , your calories for the day are probably too low. I was given the suggestion from MFP to stay at 1200 calories a day & I found it just too low & I was hungry all the time . So I upped it to 1450 calories & found it much better & not so hungry & I was losing 1-2 pounds a week when I stuck to that. I…

This sounds different , will try it! The ground beef with tomatoes & crushed pineapple & low cal veggies that is! Thanks for all your recipes many I have already tried, but some good ideas I have not! Keep them coming!

I dance to some lively CD's & incorporate some aerobic moves in with dance moves! Time just seem to fly when I am dancing & singing to the music!!

You Rock girl, awesome to reach our goals!! What a big difference 32 lbs can make ! You look beautiful! I make mini goals too, it sure is exciting when you reach them. Wishing you great success in the rest of your weight loss journey!!

I am not a fan of vinegar dressings , I have always loved creamy ranch type dressings so I mostly make my own. I use 1 ratio of light sour cream to 2 ratios of fat free mayo or miracle whip & some Uncle Dan's ranch dressing & dip mix. Or some other spices! I thin it out with a bit of low fat milk & whisk it together. The…

I agree with seeing a nutritionalist for advice. Or if you are able to talk to a hospital dietitian. When I first started with MFP site I was at 277lbs., & it had me at eating 1200 calories to lose. I found it way too low & knew I could not keep it up, I felt too hungry & deprived. So I changed it to 1450 calories & now…

Dr. Oz says if you are going to have an sugar substitute you should use Stevia!

WOW what an accomplishment! Thanks for sharing.

Actually that sounds good, popcorn & maple syrup. Sweet & salty, my favorite, lol!

Gala are my favorite so far. It us to be red delicious, but the past several years I do not find them as sweet & mostly to soft. Anyway I am putting on a women's evening event in our church all surrounding around "Apples" , what the bible says about the Apple of the eye, etc. Also the health benefits of apples & other…

Brandywithrow: I was a bit to late posting also. Good for you for the 4 lbs. lost !!! That is a great accomplishment!

Still enjoying our holidays in Hawaii. We swim 50 minutes every morning in the ocean & walk everywhere each day. But still enjoying the cuisine, so still not able to weigh myself, so we will see what the scale says when we get back home late on Oct. 18th.

Thanks Falisha for keeping me on the chart while I am away on holidays. I will let you know as soon as I get back home in a week as to what I am weighing at. Still do not know my weight at this time as there are no scales here. I have been swimming in the ocean every day & we walk everywhere here. So exercise is not a…
