  • I sent you a friend request & will look at your food diary. My diary is open if you want to view it.
  • I love the idea of preparing meals quickly from healthy foods that fit a budget! Angeleyes, do you want us to add recipes also? :)
  • You have taken the 1st steps on how to restart by asking for suggestions. Many of us have had to restart. Write on your profile page or in a journal why you want to lose the weight & what your goals are. Make a plan that includes logging your food choices on MFP & be sure to add every bite. Eat a healthy diet and continue…

  • Starting over on "Starting Over"! Sorry I was Missing In Action due to a relapse triggered by depression. I went into hibernation like a bear does & on Feb 29th stepped out of my cave. Maybe because it was Leap Year Day! On Tues March 1st I got on my scale that I had not checked since last October & surprised that I had…
  • I have 104 lbs more to lose to reach my goal. Anyone can add me. :)

  • I went shopping today & bought walking shoes and a FitBit Charge Activity Wristband so I will be ready to start Mall Walking tomorrow! I have charged the FitBit but I still have to figure out how to use it. No instructions in the box. :|
  • I would like to join your support team. Please add me. i just turned 67! :# Goals for March: 1. Lose 5 lbs. 2. Start Mall Walking. (Too much ice & snow to safely walk outdoors)
  • I love this idea! Count me in. :p
  • Hi Ally! Welcome! Yes, I think we all know how easy it is to slip into bad habits. It is so much easier & tastier to just eat what we want and not confront the numbers when we don't log our food intake. I have belonged to groups in the past & some have helped a lot. I have never started up a group before but I could not…
  • Well, after my 1st week after re-starting mfp I have lost 2lbs. My food choices have not always been the best but I logged everything & I probably would have eaten even more if I had not been keeping track. I will be going shopping for healthy foods this weekend so that I have better choices on hand. I am retired so food…
  • Welcome Jules. You have had a very rough time and got through it the best way that you could. Congratulations on the birth of your son. Your decision to get healthy again is a positive step for you & your family. We will support & encourage you. My motto is "One Day at a Time"
  • I joined this group today. Will log on spreadsheet.
  • Good for you to get back on track & congratulations on performing an exercise routine that you were unable to do previously. Every small step we take leads forward to our bigger goals. I am confident you will lose those re-gained 10 lbs & encouraged to continue to reach your other goals. One Step at a Time! :)
  • I like cottage cheese. I add different foods to it to vary the taste. 1. Cottage cheese served on lettuce. Top with a slice of tomato. 2. Cottage cheese & pineapple pieces. My favourite. 3. Cottage cheese & canned unsweetened peaches. If using peach halves, use peach as a bowl & scoop cottage cheese into it. Garnish with…
  • Check your sodium levels. I found I retained fluids when my sodium intake was high and this caused me not to lose weight. Add me as friend & we can encourage each other.:flowerforyou:
  • Sounds delicious! Thanks for the recipe. :smile:
  • I have a lot to lose. I weigh 239 lbs after losing 31 lbs. I need new friends as I just started back on MFP after a lengthy hiatus & fortunately kept off those lbs. Now I need to get back on track with recording Food & Exercise, supporting friends & giving encouragement to others & losing more weight. Note to all....Please…
  • You are an inspiration! Look how much higher you can kick up your leg! :happy: Congratulations!
  • My husband & I live near Ottawa, Ontario. I invite anyone who needs encouragement to friend me. :flowerforyou:
  • Hi Beth. I am rejoining myfitnesspal today after a long hiatus. I first joined mfp Dec 2011 & with the fantastic support of my new friends & all the wonderful features of mfp, I lost 31 lbs in 4 months. I made the wrong decision of taking a short break & it turned into over 9 months! But I had learned how to choose my…
  • The more supportive friends you have, the more enjoyable our challenges are! :smile: I am 63 and live in a suburb of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. My husband & I have been married 40 years (& yes, to each other! LOL!) :flowerforyou:
  • That is an awesome nsv! :love: I think it is wonderful that the husband of woman who works in restaurant actually passed the compliment along to your husband! And glad that your husband told you! I can imagine it was a great feeling you had! WTG! :happy:
  • I always avoided having my picture taken. I became the phographer. Occasionally someone else had a camera & when I see those pics I was not very overweight! I wish I had more pics of my son with me when he was a baby/child. I have continued to avoid camera, but joining mfp Dec 2011, I wanted visual documentation, so I…
  • My husband wants a Turkey & all the trimmings! He has been so supportive I will go along with this. I have my food scale ready!
  • Kanata, Ontario :happy:
  • How are your Sodium levels? Check out your Reports > Nutrition > Sodium over 7 days & 30 days. Make sure they are under 2500 grams daily. If over most of the time, you may be retaining water. I found I had to keep an eye on my Sodium in order to lose weight & now have it as one of my Food Diary Settings. You may friend me…
  • 1. On a baked potato instead of sour cream & then topped with salsa or spaghetti sauce! Yum! 2. Mixed with canned pineapple tidbits or peach slices or halves. (Packed in own juice not light syrup) 3. Plain. 4. In lasagna. 5. In pita pockets with red peppers, bean sprouts, lettuce & tomatoes.
  • :happy: Just checking in & reading how everyone is doing! I am not doing very much exercise, but I have been successful in food goals. Since Jan. 1st, I have lost 20lbs, so I am very happy with my progress! :love: I hope you all reach your goals. :drinker:
