Thank you, I will look for it! That would be great.

Congratulations! What a fun post!

personally, i don't think i've read any posts with lamenations or excuses since i joined (maybe i'm not on the board enough yet??). but i will say that until someone's mind can get itself around tricks to avoid repeating bad behaviors, no amount of attaboys OR reality checks from someone else will wake someone up to help…

I wonder, has any tried making "meatloaves" in large muffin cups? I would think you could freeze them then freeze them and when they are frozen put them all in one bag and you could just pull out one serving at a time. I might try this! this mug trick has inspired me! thank you!

Congratulations! :smile:

woo hoo!! if it was otis S. then it was worth it!! :) i ate so healthy today, but i wanted something naughty, and i was going to choose between two generic cookies (boo!) or a "low-cal" specialty coffee (i allow myself one each week). i chose the coffee today but if the otis S. cookie had been an option, well... i would…

Hi, This sounds great. Is this recipe also on Allrecipes? I'm a member and if it is, then I won't bother copying it to my files on my computer. If its on the website then I'd rather just save it in my favorites to refer to there. Thank you for posting this.:smile:

CONGRATULATIONS!! :happy: That's fantastic!!!

I'm sorry to hear that you've been going through this, whatever the cause (known or not). I experience times like this, and you know its bad when you wake up the next morning and you still feel full. Depending on what's causing it, you could try a diversion jar. List activities you could do instead of eating, things to…

this looks great, too, lol. where do you get your granola? I am allergic to nuts (both peanuts and tree nuts) and I have trouble finding it in the regular store without nuts. I used to go to the bulk store that had it but they've closed down. I'm going to look for it again just to try this recipe! thanks for posting it.

wow, so you did it too!! so you do know exactly what i'm talking about - i was dreaming about the show, too. :wink: i guess it's not just me and maybe i can survive watching the rest of them!

well, the question was specific to the bagels she bought. they were kept out but later she noticed the bag said they should be refridgerated. we'll all weighing in on whether or not we think they are still good to eat (have not gone bad) even though they were not kept in the fridge. what do you think - should she go ahead…

Hi, I'm assuming you are going to have some fun stuff to do with the lightts on (we are going to enjoy that day at our house, but we will still have the end of the setting sun so we are just planning to take a walk and hopefully see our neighbors doing the same). Your kids are at such great ages! Here is one funny thing to…

Last summer we belonged to Blockbuster at home (like Netflix) and I decided I was going to watch all the shows from 24. I have a friend who loves it and recommended it. I rented a block of the shows all at once - and LOVED them!!! BUT I don't watch a lot of TV and felt I HAD to stay glued to the TV. I probably should have…

This looks really good!

btw, agapita, I enjoyed your quotefrom Robert Shuller so much when I saw it the other day that I printed it out and taped it to my fridge for my kids and husband to enjoy and get inspired!!

Ren25 :happy: -- as someone else here said, one step at a time - but you have to give yourself a pat on the back for the exercising!!! Getting up and doing that is so HARD!!! :smile:

I agree, they should be fine just don't let them hang around too long! And if you haven't already, maybe put them in the fridge to help them stay around longer. myastyme, I just wanted to say I really like your statement at theend of your ID, about being kinder to everyone. We should all try to keep that in our minds,…

Anything from Romano's Macaroni Grill is going to be great - and with an amazing number of calories. I have the recipe at home for their Penne Rustica and I make it a few times a year, its so good. I try not to go there anymore bec/ everything is so high in fat/carbs, etc. You mentioned Starbuck's coffee so I thought I…

Good Luck! This has been a long journey for me, too, and most others I'm guessing. Best wishes to you in yours.:happy: :happy:

hi this is so funny - i got my period today and hadn't been thinking about it, so when i ate my breakfast and wanted something more than my oatmeal, i felt it was my old self rearing up. i ended up eating my lunch early, then had to wait 5 hours for snacktime even though i was hungry (i didn't bring any healthy snacks from…

its funny, someone else wrote about binging today. i agree that healthy choices are better, if you can be strong enough to make them, but i am a binge eater, too, and though i haven't had an episode in a few months (not that i don't overeat every day, i just don't binge ever single day) i would love to find out why i do…

I'm sorry to hear about your loss. that's so hard. and it will take a lot longer to deal with that, so give yourself permission to be sad sometimes. I know I'm new here, but I'm not new to the weight issue, I've been "relearning" how to eat for the past 10 or 15 years. sometimes a real push by you will not show up until a…

i have felt so alone in this area for years. i would eat till i was full and then eat some more and more and more. i ate until i was in pain. i have never purged but the eating frenzy has repeated itself more times than i can count. nothing lately and i don't remember what causes it, have read online about it but have…

Wow what a secret! I can't wait to look for them at the store!! Thanks :smile: I'll tell you what, I'm new here but i just love this calorie counter that does the math for you! Over the past 15 years that I've been trying to lose weight I have never found something so uncomplicated. I told a friend about it and she wants…

this is so true! (and i couldn't even imagine working for a cookie company!!) but my problem is not just substituting the cookies for something healthy, its the fact that I would have no willpower and continue to eat and eat until all were gone. at my office people bring in food every day. its really very nice, even cooked…

T - congratulations, what inspiration, thank you so much for sharing!!!

You make a great point. In the past I have lost weight when I have taken the time to plan meals, and not only have I eaten healthier food, but I have eaten NICER meals (for example, taking the time to prepare a lunch with all the trimmings (looks pretty and healthier for all the veggies) instead of running and grabbing…

Congratulations! and I joined this yesterday so someone would hold me accountable, so yes you were right you are accountable here too! :) and congrats on the cigs, what a huge struggle. Peace.
