Oh I have a ton of recipes. I have 4 of the biggest loser cookbooks and they are AWESOME!! Hubby LOVES the food that I cook out of those books and they are easy and fast. Some of them take special things, but they only use a little bit, so once you buy it and have it on hand, you can make it over again without having to…

Welcome Sigra!! I found that it works best to TRY to check in on a daily basis. That is just me tho. Checking in on the thread not only keeps me motivated but helps to keep others going as well when they need support and motivation. A new thread will be started every 2 weeks because once things get going and we get chatty,…

Welcome!!! Yes, weigh ins are always on Friday and I don't send out reminders but I might remind on the thread. I would encourage you to friend everyone who joins this group through MFP so you can see when they post to the thread. This helps a lot with remembering to do it. There are several of us on Facebook as well who…

My Intro... I am 37 years old, happily married and a SAHM with 3 kids of my own and 1 exchange student. My oldest is in college and the other 3 are high schoolers. Back in January 2009, I started with MFP after reaching a high weight of 252lbs. 4 months and 40lbs later, I hit a bad plateau and decided to maintain for a…

Had company over the weekend thru Tuesday morning, but Im back on track. I was pretty well behaved even though there were loads of temptations. My brother even taught me how to make some awesome special chicken salad.

Tried this last week and my hubby said it was AWESOME! That is big compliments coming from him since he is the pickiest pizza eater out there!! We just used some low fat turkey pepperoni, olives and mushrooms and some home made spag sauce for the toppings. I will definitely make again!! It was the bomb!! Thanks for…

Hello everyone!!! This sounds like just the challenge I need to get me going again! I joined MFP back in Jan 2008 and lost 40lbs. Hit that dreaded plateau around June and decided to take a break for a little bit. I maintained for about 6 more months then slowly started gaining. Decided I better get my butt in gear and…

TAGGING FOR LATER!! Thanks so much for sharing! My hubby LOVES pizza, so if I can sub this in.... WOW will we be happy!! :0)

(((((((((((((((((((sheila)))))))))))))))) Im back also! The call I took when we were on the phone was for a job interview tomorrow. Its just part time, but Im psyched about it as its just what I WANT! :0) After my interview tomorrow I will be planning out my meals for the month of December so I can have a better plan. And…

Its weigh in day today, but i dont feel like weighing in. :mad: I weighed in this morning and there was NO CHANGE.... None! Im still stuck at 227 even tho Im at the tail end of TOM, and have walked more than 20 miles this week! I didnt log food the last couple days on MFP, but I have been keeping track and am under on…

Hey everyone... So... I was right. Good ole aunt flo came a visitin on Monday which is why my scale didnt move very much this last week. Way to much water retention. Oh well!! Anyway.. I aint letting her stop me from getting my walking in. I walked 5 miles yesterday and 3miles today. I thought I was gonna die last night…

Wow, bet you cant wait until you're finally done with this move! We look forward to having you come back!!! Have a safe trip!

JJ... you are officially banned from weighing in everyday...:noway: I know, I know... Its hard to stay off when you are working yer butt off and hoping to see results right away, but lets be real here. Grab your tape measure and see whats up. You could be holding water, you could be gaining more muscle... but we both know…

My advice on this... If you arent craving it, don't bother. Usually I crave junk when I eat junk, so if you eat junk... your body is going to want more of it. If you can get by without it, GREAT! BUT... don't deprive yourself either. If you really want to have a dessert, find a good healthy option and go for it. Don't tell…

Man, a girl gets a couple busy days and ya'll start chattin up a storm! hehe! I will have to go back and get caught up now!! SO happy to see our thread be active again! Welcome to the new people who joined us and welcome back to the teamies who are returning! Happy to see YOU! I cant say that the last 2 days were my "best"…

Welcome! You will love it here! no more shakes, just good food, great support and motivation! I see you set your goal, so best of luck to you! You can do it!! :0)

Welcome!! I think you will love it here on MFP. Its a lifestyle change for sure, not a quick fix. Give yourself time and learn as much as you can. Challenge yourself and you will reach your goals. You can do it!!! :) Good luck!

No workout today, outside of pulling weeds in the front yard and scrubbing the giant oil spill off my driveway. LOL It was a yucky rainy, humid day so I did get pretty sweaty out there and at least I got something accomplished. Doing good on food too. Hit happy hour with some friends last night and had a good, healthy…

YAY!!! Congrats! Glad you got a good workout in without much pain. :0)

Got my 3 mile walk in this morning. Weighed in and Im at 227.2, which is 1.7 pounds lighter than I was at the beginning of the week. Im pretty sure alot of it is water weight gone from reducing the sodium in my diet, but hey... I'll take it! How is everyone else doing?

Also, I changed my ticker back to what it was at my starting weight in Jan 2009. I had changed it to a new goal, but I think this will motivate me even more. :0)

Well... today didnt yeild any results in the ongoing iphone investigation. Im pretty sure the phone is either dead, or they are avoiding using it. My hubby is awesome. He saw how upset I was and said "we just cant not have a way to communicate when Im on the road", so he went and upgraded his phone and gave me his iphone.…

Boy do I know how easy it is to go off track when you are on your own. This last summer was a nightmare. Hubby would leave for 2 weeks on a business trip and my kids would go to their dads for a week. I kept telling Diego (my doxie) that he should not let me eat anything bad but the only thing he snitched from me was 1/2…

Awesome! What did you do?? Good kind of sore is nice and it will get better the more frequently you workout. Eventually you'll look for that soreness to know you accomplished a good workout. :0)

Welcome back Pro, JJ and welcome aboard to the new folks as well. JJ... I think for me.. right now my challenge is planning my menu and logging my food each day. I am fine in getting in my exercise, but I am really struggling with logging food for some reason and its been the reason I have fallen off and gained back what I…

I agree... honey is better. And... if you like honey, try agave nector!! Its similar and just as good of a natural substitue for coffee and/or baking!

Wow... great job on the loss you have achieved so far! I have no doubt you will reach your goals. I agree... I dont like stick skinny either. I think it depends on the persons frame. Im 6' and my dr told me to aim for 200 and "see how I feel". I have pretty broad shoulders and a large frame, so too thin just doesnt look…

I am so sore! I've walked 8 miles in the last 2 days and while I would think that I am used to walking long distances by now, It just proves how much Ive been slacking lately. LOL Hubby and I bought a motorcycle a month ago and I've been riding with him on the back of the bike. I'm signed up to take my motorcycle saftey…
