Big Hugs sweetie. I think one great thing about having support, is that the support is for any and everything we need in our lives.:flowerforyou:

I sell insurance and write movie scripts :)

You can also try switching to a different source of sugar. Instead of using the real stuff, try Splenda or Stevia. I know that Splenda tastes just fine, but I'm thinking of trying Stevia myself.

I'm just starting out myself. I say why not? I've already posted my first blog entry, and I start full scale tomorrow. Game?

Isn't it just kind of bland, though? Hubby loves it, but I've only tried it once and it had absolutely no flavor to it, fish or otherwise!

ahhh I didn't realize I could do it that way. I thought I would just have to put in each fruit individually. Thanks! edited to add: See how I'm already trying to make this harder than it should me for myself!? lol

Welcome!

Welcome! What part of California are you from? We used to live in Concord.

Welcome! I have hip and back problems too, and that is one of my biggest hurdles. I'm scared to death that I'm going to do something while exercising that's going to cause me to go through the same kind of pain I went through when I originally injured myself. I'm hoping and praying that I'll be able to make this work…

I'm new as well but wanted to say welcome :)

I'm one of those people that gave up real sugar when I did the Atkins thing. Hubby and I exclusively use Splenda now -- (although I'd like to give Stevia a try - but that's a different thread!) What calorie counter is best to use for things like fruit snacks? Something I like to do is make pre-made 3oz fruit bags of things…

Thanks. I'm def. doing the walking thing.. believe me, after last year, I'm just happy I can walk again! lol

I'm new here myself but wanted to say welcome!

Would buy it, read it and frame the thing! lol

ahhh okay.. That makes sense. Perfectly. Thank you!

I still have a couple of questions. First, let me make sure I understand this correctly. (I'm slow.) If MFP tells me to eat 1,730 cals a day, I eat them. Now, if MFP tells me that I'm going to burn 350 cals from exercising per workout (assuming three 30 mins workouts a week), then I should also eat that 350? -- I get the…

I'm looking to exercise, and ideally, I would love to be able to walk on a treadmill to start out, but we don't have one, nor the money to buy one. I dislocated my hip and ruptured two discs last year, so I'm fearful of doing an exercise that will end up hurting me, but I know I have to do something. I've got an…

Thanks!

Hi! My name is Nysa. I'm new to MFP and still trying to learn my way around. I have alot of weight to loose, and I know I can do it, if I do it right. My friend Laura turned me on to MFP, it's done so well for her. My husband will also be joining up soon and working through this with me. My biggest hurdle is exercise. I…

Go Laura :) Her success convinced me to join up!
