Thank you!

OMG...this sounds amazing...I need to go to the store...right now!!

Not even close.

I just made something on a whim and it was awesome can of tuna, drained but a little of the liquid left in or a few drops of water added 1 tbls Kraft Miracle Whip light Sweet banana peppers, lightly chopped generous sprinkle Arizona Dreaming seasoning by Penzey's Spice Pepper to taste Mix above well and set aside. On one…

I've been down that road (the pill road, that is), and several others. IMHO, weight loss doesnt come in a bottle. Ok, so maybe it works short term, but if it all comes back and then some. And yo yo dieting is really really bad for your metabolism. The only way to lose weight and make it a sustainable, healthy, life long…

bump!!

I make it into a meditteranean style mix that I have on Rykrisps, or honestly just plain. 1 can of tuna, drained but I leave a little liquid in there 1/2 to 1 capful of lemon juice concentrate 1/4 cup garbanzo beans or canellini beans, drained and rinsed well 1 tblsp Kraft mayo with olive oil onion flakes to taste small…

The only failure is if you never try or give up altogether. Fall down seven times, stand up eight as the old proverb goes. You CAN do this and MFP is the place to be. Plug into one of the Support and Motivation groups....its made all the difference in the world to me...this is the most success I've ever had at this issue…

I have found that if you find one or maybe two threads that speak to where you are in life and/or on this fun-filled trip we're on...and stick mainly with those threads, you'll develop really great friendships with like-minded folks who understand where you're coming from. There are a few friends I've made on MFP that are…

This is a very timely post, my friend. I am grateful for many things, but it does seem so much easier to see the negatives sometimes. I have wonderful friends, both personally in my face-to-face life, and on MFP who have stood with me and helped me thru times of tremendous pain and overwhelming joy. I'm blessed with a son,…

LOVE the big men!! There is nothing like a lumberjack-type man!!

Not enough, lately. And yes, there's been alot of links made between lack of sleep and higher stress hormones (cortisol etc) which cause your body to store fat and causes your metabolism to slow down. I think there's some articles on Prevention.com and also Jillian Michaels' Master Your Metabolism book has a section on it.…

Me too. I love this show but this year has been hard. Especially following last year, where most of the season game play wasnt the issue...health was.

pizza (cheese and onion), or especially white pizza...anything warm, creamy with onions and garlic. I'm hopeless. Anything that is combination of chocolate and peanuts.

A HUGE congrats on quitting smoking...been there and its not easy. Suggestion with the sugar thing...check out what you're eating...if you're consuming alot of franken-sugars (Splenda, aspertame, sucralose and all the other fake sugars) and they do put it in alot of things (ie anything that says sugar-free, diet pop, sugar…

I loved this! I actually used to color my hair this same color (years ago) so I thought it was quite right on! Thanks!

Right now? Crabby as hell but wait five minutes and I'll be civil again.

I use both the whole seed (like the added texture) and the ground (better way to make it usable by the body). I wouldnt sprinkle it on a drink, but I do use it in my oatmeal every day, I also mix it into my sons pancake mix and hide it in other foods for both of us (shh...dont give away my secret!) I like the nutty flavor…

Hey there and welcome to MFP! C'mon over to the "Over 300 Club" message board under "Motivation and Support".

Congratulations on the sobriety and many more years of enjoying your new life and the fun of exersize!

Sorry I dont, but I did just figure out for me that the artificial sweetners (Splenda, aspartame etc) in the "sugar free" and "diet" foods/drinks I was consuming were what was making me crave carbs and sweets. Once I stopped taking in these things for a week, the cravings are gone.

I second that! Will be shooting for this for next week!...thank you for sharing it!

I love this idea and your first post is almost what my first answer would've been! Fantasy: Marry a wonderful man who truly loves me for who I truly am, live simply on one salary and be able to work just part time myself, devoting the majority of my time and energy to my family. Living passionately and well. Reality:…

What a sweet daughter you are to do this for her...your mom should be really proud of you!

I do not count most veggies. I only count the ones that are high on the glycemic index or are higher starchier veggies, like corn, potatoes, carrots etc. All other veggies are a free food for me. Fruit I always count because its higher in calories and sugar.

Good for you!!!

YES!! Buffalo felt it! Its the first time I've actually felt one that hit around here!!
