April...if you eat canned veggies, drain and rinse them first. Then heat them in fresh water. If you eat canned soup, drain out half the liquid and replace with hot water. Also, I just found out that Kosher Flake salt (Penzey's spices has it cheap) is only 280 mg per 1/4 tsp...sea salt has somewhere in the area of 500 mg…

KeriD...you are officially my best friend...YOUNGER, she says :flowerforyou: :heart: :smooched:

Thank you all very much!!

You made me laugh right out loud...thank you!!

Dont give up! Your body has to adjust to the new weight. A plat will break when your body figures out that you're not in a time of famine, and that its not going to starve. Keep doing what you're doing and be patient. My plat lasted almost 7 months! You can try adding different foods, different meal times, etc to shake up…

AMEN!

Yeah I was confused too but Jill posted it on her fan page on FB today so that makes it official...so excited to be able to see it now!

YES YES YES I do!! I find that its one of two things....TOM is coming (sorry boys..I know its too much info for you :blushing:) or its just my body trying to tell me I'm missing something. I'm learning to listen to my body...not the spur of the moment bad food cravings, but when I'm starving and nothing is helping, I have…

www.sparkrecipes.com great site...type in "chicken" and you'll get tons of hits and they have the nutritional info right with it...love the site.

Hey, you're doing a great job to get control of this now when you're still young. I've been over 200 since 7th grade and well over 300 since high school...it took me till I turned 38 to wake up at 350 lbs and facing 40 and smell the coffee and decide to do this thing the right way...nutrition and exersize....and to reclaim…

No need to apologize! Welcome to MFP! Using this site and learning from the folks on here has gotten me to where I am today... You can do this and MFP is an excellent tool to accomplish your goals! Good luck on your journey!!

Welcome! I dont know what fatty liver disease is but I've been hearing of it more and more. Maybe try going to ask.com and typing in the condition and/or "diets for fatty liver disease". I did this for my friend who has Crohn's and found lots of info for her, even specific nutritional stuff. Give it a shot!

Fantastic story! I relate to the angry-mom thing so much. I'm not always happy dancing yet, but I am more and more often. Thank you for sharing!

You will weigh more in the evening than you do in the a.m. I'm usually 3 - 5 lbs heavier at night than I was in the a.m. Go by the morning weigh in.

I've done it too. I found it takes a long time to thaw and is a little watery when it does but definately use-able.

I cant wait to be you!! and I quoted this question above because I have this question too. At 111 lbs lost, I'm sagging and bagging and wondering if there's anything I can (w/o surgury...cant afford...no insurance) to help my old skin be as elastic as possible? Any thoughts??

Dive right in and swim along with the rest of us!! The message boards can be a great place to plug in with people who are on a similar journey with you. I found a great one for me and its usually the only one I'm regularly on. Good luck on your journey, and be proud of that 22 lbs...take each accomplishment, own it, really…

If you dont watch the show, you dont understand the context of what you saw.

I've had exactly the opposite needs, so be careful. I have to reduce my fat to next to nothing, other than healthy mufa's, and increase water and fiber, but remember, everyone is different. Symptoms can vary from person to person as can triggers.

Welcome! I'm 39 and started my journey toward health almost a year and a half ago. Add me as a friend if you'd like!

I use Calorieking.com...try there?

Dont beat yourself up over it. It happens along the way. You're just getting going in this and its naturaly to have a subconscious freak out over all the changes. A big part of the journey is to face these slips, figure out the reason behind it, deal with it head on and then move past it. Dont allow your mind to beat you…

You're glowing! Congrats and be proud!

havent yet but want to.

I'm so glad you posted this! I dint know it was on but had been hoping to see it. Missed most but at least I know when its on now. thanks

You're not kidding!! That stuff is like heaven in a tiny little plastic container!! I love the vanilla with honey...I never thought I would but when I went to buy it thats all they had....it was out of this world!

I find this to be a huge concern too. there was one post from a 13 year old the other day...she stated she was 13 but her profile says 18.

Mine is where I long to be and what I long to feel on my face...
