Keep in mind that we are getting a good bit more salt then we normally do. I am not even stepping on the scales until I have had a full week of “eating right“. If I were to get on the scales right now I am sure I would pass out from the shock of how much more they would say I weigh right now. I have been with family and…

Hello and Welcome! :flowerforyou:

Hello and Welcome! :flowerforyou:

Hello and Welcome! You have come to the right place. This site has helped me a lot. Always remember we are here for you. :flowerforyou:

In the salads it isn’t only the dressing. There are a lot of hidden calories in salads. In the past I looked some of them up and they had more calories then other items on the menus. I would have done better to just have something other then the salad. Salad is a good choice as long as you can pick and choose for what you…

I use to gain 5 pounds every month. I had surgery last year and they took all that away from me. My periods had already stopped because there was a huge growth in my uterus. But it was always a 5 pound gain for me. Don’t let it get you down. You know what it is and you know that it will pass. Just keep on keeping on.…

webebeer you are doing great. Before you know it your pants WILL be falling down. When they do fall down do the happy dance. We will come bail you out of jail when they arrest you for dancing in public without any pants on. hehehe :tongue: :laugh: You Go Girl! Keep up the good work. You WILL be rewarded with falling down…

I still can’t believe it. :noway: When I catch a glimpse of myself in a window or mirror up town I still can’t believe that woman is really me. :flowerforyou:

Yep salt :embarassed: But dang its good :flowerforyou:

The people we rent from have secured our storage unit and I don’t go over there without someone with me so I will have to wait till my husband gets off work. OK now back to the recipe. :smile: I went to SparkPeople and recalculated all of the ingredients including the onion and water and came up with 129 calories per 1 cup…

While typing the above post we got a call that someone has broken into our storage unit. :mad: I don’t have time to go recalculate this right now because it does take a little time. I will have to do it later. If you (or anybody else) finds out how many calories are in this recipe please let me know and I will get back…

Ok did a quick recalculation of the recipe. It is more like 115 to 120 calories per serving. You are not dividing this recipe by 11. You will not get a full half cup of beans per 1 cup serving nor will you get a full quarter cup of tomato sauce per 1 cup serving, etc….. This recipe makes 11 cups not just 3½ servings. When…

I am going to go back to SparkPeople and recalculate this recipe. Are you counting a full cup of beans per serving? This recipe makes 11 one cup servings. Plus there are 4 cups of water in the recipe along with the other ingredients as well. But to make sure I will go back and recalculate this recipe just in case.

Hello and Welcome! I am an emotional eater. I get board and I want to eat, if I am tired I tend to eat too much, stress makes me want to eat, etc….. When I am mad….really mad….that is when I do my worst damage. I will eat mega amounts of crap when I am mad. (I need to learn to just cuss more at those times to keep my mouth…

This is a funny thing. Not funny haha but fickle funny. I have found that it really depends on the manufacturer and the store as to what size I will wear. I can wear anywhere from a small to an extra large. It all depends on who made the garment or what store I bought it. I have learned that I basically wear a medium top…

Congratulations reaching your goal!! It is an awesome feeling I know. I reached my goal weight a little over 3 years ago. I still log and count my calories every day. This is the second time I have lost a lot of weight. I learned the hard way if I want to keep the weight off I will have to watch what I eat closely, count…

"Just Don't!" I like that. I am going to make several BIG print outs with that on them and put them all over the house. I may even take some to my TOPS meeting this coming Friday. I think I will print up some business cards with that on them too. "Just Don't!" Thanks Raz! :flowerforyou:

Hello and Welcome! :flowerforyou:

I like Hershey’s Sticks Special Dark Chocolate. They are only 60 calories a stick. As much as I love chocolate for some reason I don’t have a problem stopping with one stick. If I get to the point where I eat more then one it will have to go the way the peanut butter did and I will quit bringing them in the house. But so…

....."There ain't a ounce of turn-back in it" I love it! I have not only put things in the trash I also “nastyed um up”. Like you know and have done that way there ain’t no turn back in it! You go girl! You got it a goin on! :drinker:

LOL! You go girl! You sound like me. Come on over you can eat with me. :flowerforyou:

I’m not going to give you any flack. Know why?? Because what you posted is the truth. Not always easy to do but it is the truth. :flowerforyou:

I know it sound odd but you have to eat to lose. It looks like you weren’t eating enough so you were not losing. You ate a little more and you lost. Keep up the good work. :flowerforyou:

This time of the year is really tough when it comes to the “Holiday Food” and all the “Goodies”. In the past people have given us goodies of all kinds and I have given them away. I have also put them in the trash. I don’t consider it a waste I consider it an investment in my health. I have found that frozen goodies aren’t…

I heard on TV today that woman burn 500 calories a day breastfeeding. Yeah I watched TV today lol. :bigsmile:

Hi Karen! I’m doing well just busy. I have way more to do then I can get done lol My son was here this past weekend helping me with my computer.
