These sound yummy!! Is there a calories difference between regular flour and gluten free??

I weigh in Thursday mornings and record on that day. I do get on the scale a few times during the week just so I know how I'm doing!!

You should be proud!!! Great job!!!

I grocery shop every tuesday and I plan out my dinners for the week to make sure I have everything I need on hand. I usually log in my dinners after breakfast, or the night before if I am working. I like planning ahead and being prepared.

Mine is public, I have no problem with people seeing what I am eating. Pretty much every Thursday I am over cause its my one day if I have a craving that is when I eat it. I try very hard to log everything I put in my mouth. I have not had any negative comments or reactions to my diary and I have been losing every week so…

The one pair of jean capris that I have been wearing are getting big and baggy on me. I can actually pull them down without unbuttoning or unzipping them. I have the exact same pair in the next size down. I can get the smaller ones on and zipped up but they still feel just a tad tight for me to wear them in public. I have…

I am proud of myself that even though I felt yucky this morning (TOM, tmi :blushing: ) I didn't crawl back into bed after taking my daughter to school, I went out there and still did my walking!!

I'm so happy with my food scale. I was actually under-eyeballing a few things. Which isn't horrible, but if I'm putting down I'm eating 6oz I now know I'm eating 6oz!! :happy:

I cannot give up my condiments. We have always used the light versions of Mayo and miracle whip. Yum!!

I just got done entering my dinner into my diary. I am making a new won ton recipe, roast beef slider cupcakes, trying another new recipe, salt and vineger fingerling potatoes, and a veggie!!

Seeing how I just had 6 days off I'm working ob Sat. and Sun. :sad:

I like Oscar Meyer low sodium bacon. 70 calories for two pieces and only 170 sodium!! Much much better than turkey bacon!! You have to enjoy and like what you are eating or you wont be able to do this long term!!

I love potatoes and work them into my meal planning at least twice a week. I just made hasselback potatoes as a side dish for my hubby's birthday this past Sunday. I like roasted red potatoes, with onions and different spices. This is a lifestyle change for me and I will not succeed if I cut out things I love!!

I agree with this!! I gave made a lifestyle change and REFUSE to eat anything I do not enjoy. I plan and budget and get what I want, evevn if it's a few bites or a whole meal. I want to be able to do this forever. I just hit my 100 days today and I can honestly say I DO NOT feel deprived in anyway!!

I have found that when my alarm goes off in the morning I am actually getting up much easier than ever. I am not so sluggish feeling anymore. Don't get me wrong I don't like waking up to an alarm clock, but i am not having to drag myself out of bed.

I was reading a Nora Roberts Trilogy, cant remember the name now, on my Kindle. But since I have gotten my Kindle Fire (and found MFP) I haven't read at all. :(

The other thing I am doing to track my progress is my daughter made me a tshirt with her handprints on it about 5 years ago. I have never been able to wear it because it never fit me. I pulled it out of the closet the other day and put it on. It was skiiiinnn tight but we took a pic of me in it, and will keep taking them…

I can only speak for me, but I have been trying to watch my sodium and keep it at or under 2500 for the day. I do go over pretty much every Thursday, but that is my weigh in day, and eat what I have been craving day. I have been losing and do not feel bloated. I find that tracking it in my diary makes me a lot more of what…

I record my weight every Thursday morning. I do get on the scale here and there throughout the week too. I take my measurements every 1st of the month, and take pictures in the same black bra and shorts every 11th of the month. I need to have other ways to see my progress if the scale is not cooperating. LoL. I have been…

This is the second time I have heard this. I'm gonna have to trick mine tmrw morning and see how it goes!

I am proud of me because my walking buddy cancelled on me and it would have been real easy to come home from driving my daughter to school and crawl back under the warm covers. (It was chilly here in AZ this morning) But I didn't.......I got home, grabbed my tunes and my new little handweights I got from hubby for…

I was losing weight without exercise, but I know how important it is for my health. I have been walking 3-5 times a week for around 45 minutes. I am at 284lbs so I'm not pushing myself to do alkali kinds of stuff just. Between the walking and the Just Dance 3 with my daughter I feel so much better already. As I continue to…

Bumping to come back later and see what other great ideas you guys come up with!! I have tried the lasagna cupcakes....AWESOME and with only three of us in the family, leftovers reheated wonderfully! I have also made breakfast egg cups with them, spray muffin tin, press a wonton down into tin, take one egg and beat it,…

Great job!! You look wonderful!!

I am gonna check this site out. I am trying to keep an eye on my sodium. Since I have been doing this I have become so much more aware of what has alot of sodium. My blood pressure is good, but I figured it can't hurt to keep my sodium in check. Thanks for sharing.

I have been hooked on a site called foodgawker.com. it has thousands of recipes with pictures (that's one of the reasons I like it). I have seen so many recipes that interest me and have had a good time remaking them to be healthier for me and my family. I am cooking so much more now.

I have made a few lifestyle changes since I started November 2011. (1) logging everything that goes into my mouth, I mean everything!! (2) being more active (3) cooking and making more of my own meals (4) becoming more aware of what I am eating, reading labels (5) and learning there is pretty much nothing I can't…

Hubby is working all day, not sure when he will be home. :( I woke up to a cute and funny card in the bathroom, and great loving card propped in my car! Made me smile that he took time to leave me the cards. :) I will be cleaning the house a bit, grocery shopping, and picking my daughters up from school. Me and her will…

I plan my dinners for the week (I have a neat pad that has spaces to write down each meal for each day, and then a space for my list). I usually enter in my dinners so then I can work my breakfast, lunches and snacks around it. That way I'm staying under my calories and if I have a higher sodium dinner I can take it easy…
