Molly - take care of that kidney infection. You don't want to end up in the hospital. Hope you feel better very very soon. My daughter and I are going out of town to a company regional event on Saturday. Sunday she will spend the day with her boyfriend and I'm hoping to get some grass cut around this place. Hope everyone…

Hi all - Welcome!! MFP is a great site. Get involved in some of the chats and make a few friends. It's great to help keep you encouraged and on the right track. Remember to take the advice on here and add your own touch of common sense. True motivation needs to come from within and you have to be committed to making a…

I hope you are feeling better today. An 8 lb. loss is great! Keep up the good work. Exercise will get those inches off in no time!!

Those are great goals! I have a goal poster in my bathroom to keep track of weight loss in 5 lb. intervals. I have my rewards marked at the appropriate intervals. My 10 lb. goal was a manicure, 25 lbs. was a mani/pedi. My 50 lb. goal is to go to doctor and see if they can do something with these horrible varicose veins…

I was looking at mine and they don't match either. Queeda - that beach does look lovely. Looks like ya'll are very happy and having a great time! Glad you are finding time to catch up on a few things. Have a great weekend everyone!!

A lot of good advice here!

Yum! Looks good - going to have to try this one!!

Great article - thanks very much!!!

I am going to Hawaii in Sept. and plan on being at my goal weight. I want to proudly wear a swimsuit - and not an old lady suit either!!

Great decision! Good luck on your journey!!

:smile:

Feel better soon Molly!!!

Thanks!! Congrats to your wife and good luck on the 50 lb. club.

Good for you for making that decision!! My youngest is now 18 and I wish I had lost this weight sooner. We share a lot now but I have missed out on a lot as well (too tired and sluggish). Go spend time with your 14 YO - she will be 18 and gone before you know it!! I was fortunate enough to participate in 2 5k's with my DIL…

Cuties are my favorite!! Saw pinterest post about freezing grapes and putting them in wine to keep it cool - I'm going to try that next time I treat myself to a glass of wine.

Welcome and good luck!! You did it once and you can do it again. Make a goal poster of where you want to be by the wedding. Pick a dress that you like - not YOUR dress along with some sexy clothes for the honeymoon to put on your goal poster. I have mine hanging in the bathroom by my scale. I marked off the first 20 lbs.…

Dang!! That's a huge jump overnight!! Ours is $3.47 in South Texas.

Thanks everyone - I got my laugh for the day!!!

I'm looking forward to the responses on this thread. I was wondering the same thing myself.

Yesterday 164.5 Today 166 UGH!!! Didn't realize Uncle Ben's long grain rice had over 600 grams of sodium!!! I guess lots of water and an extra hard work out for me today!

Hi Nate. What you are doing truly is incredible. What a great value for all of us. My question is - What is a good food to eat on days when working out? I usually have a shake for breakfast and a sandwich for lunch (usually Peanut Butter and Jelly). That makes me feel like I'm going to throw up soon after I start my work…

Congrats on the weight loss! You look great!! Visalus Rocks!!! I am a promoter and started my current 90 day challenge on Jan. 2nd. As of Feb. 2nd I had lost 10 lbs. and 5.5 inches. Love the products!!!

Great idea!!! I freeze milk in ice cube trays so I don't have to use ice in my smoothies but never thought about freezing yogurt. Sorry a little off topic but also saw a post about freezing leftover wine one pinterest for those of you that like to cook with wine.

Oatmeal is cheap, healthy and filling. I love to have oatmeal for dinner or lunch. I don't buy the Steel Oats although I know they are supposed to be better for you. My store doesn't carry them. Also smoothies are great and filling as well. If you buy Vanilla you can add a lot of different items to vary the taste. My…

Sounds Yummy! How many calories are in the protein powder?

Great job!!

You can add me. I decided over a year ago to make a lifestyle change. I lost about 35 lbs. and kept it off for 6 months. Now I'm losing again. I've lost 10 lbs. and 5.5 inches since Jan. 2nd! Accountability and friends are good!:smile:

Thanks! I'll have to check these out.

You look amazing and should be very proud of what you have accomplished!!

I'm not sure who does the weekly totals on the spread sheet but please check them. I think my info was recorded in the wrong place.:ohwell: I bought a Kindle for my husband and he made me take it back. Don't think he really understood all that it would do. My daughter (a school teacher) has one and loves it. I would love…
