  • Thanks!! This will be a great year for so many of us. Just the fact that we are here on MFP and have registered for events is HUGE! My hat's off to you for going for it.
  • I have started freezing grapes - seedless red, black or green. They are a GREAT quick snack. I am not a fan of normal temp grapes, but frozen, they are great!
  • Hi. I registered for The Danskin Triathalon in August 2012. I have never done anything like this before, and it has me scared to death! I have been training for a few months now, and have really stepped it up somewhat recently. I am all set for the 5K part at least. I am walking the 5K, and not running it. I have RA and…
  • I have been at this for a couple of months now, and slowly and steadily I am losing. I have a ways to go, but am in in for the long haul. It just feels different this time. It will be a great year. I can feel it! If anyone wants to add me, that would be great. I think that this site is the bomb, and I am so glad I found…
  • That is awesome! You look amazing. I don't even know you, and I am so proud of you! I have 2 kids (5 and 8 years old), and can appreciate how hard it is. I am on my way too, and I am so excited to think that I could look like you by June or July! Thank you!!!!
  • I never thought I would look forward to getting up at 5:45 to walk 2 miles, and I do it every other day with a friend (4 weeks now!). I never thought I would go gluten-free - and it is easy! I never thought I would not eat red meat - and I don't miss it at all! I never thought I would ever do a race or a triathlon. I…
  • Don't worry about it and certainly don't beat yourself up. The bread was most likely nan, and the other stuff in a buffet is often vegetable primarily. I might guestimate 500 calories for lunch and call it good. Have a good, yummy, healthy dinner and have a great day!
  • Hi, and welcome. I hope you find lots of support out here. There are many of us that are struggling and working toward goals. Just showing up is a huge first step. Awesome! Good for you!
  • Good luck, Doug, and happy new year! It is the beginning for many of us. (I've taken a month off from "behaving" myself, and will get back on the horse on Sunday). I hope that you are able to find the balance that works for you. :-)
  • My nutritionist told me about a protein powder made from pumpkin seeds. When I find it I will post the brand and where to find it. I have been using Show Me The Whey's Protein Powder and make my own smoothies. They are DELICIOUS! 1-2 cups frozen mixed berries (or any fruit you want, really) 1 banana 1 cup 1% organic milk 2…
  • There is a test that many community colleges offer called The Strong Interest Inventory. You may even be able to find it online. It is very cool because it assesses your interests and consolidates the data to let you know what jobs / careers exist out there that you would enjoy. This is not an aptitude test, so you may not…
  • That sounds terrific! Thanks!! And good luck to you!
