I think about my Dad that died 30 years ago today at a young 42 years old. He was not overweight, nor sick! He had sleep apnea, and didn't know it. It was relatively new 30 years ago, and then I think about my Mom who has been diabetic since I was in 4th grade, and has been on kidney dyalisis for the past 5 years! I am…

WOW!! Very inspirations story! Congratulations!! You look AMAZING!!

definetly skinny cow. The individual cups are perfect. My favoriet is the dulce le leche, but sometimes its hard to find. I don't know if its because it has less calories and fat than the others or what. But me personally, I NEVER was a huge ice cream person, but now I try to save some calories at dinner for ice cream. I…

AMAZING!! Congratulations!!

Thanks everyone! I'm SUPER excited!

go to the tools section in mfp (beside of reports and community) there is a place to calculate your bmr. Although my mfp says I should eat 1200 calroeis, I try to eat what my bmr is! I think this helps keep your metabolism at a rate that your body does not think its starving. Really you shouldn't eat below your bmr, but…

I eat a banana every day! As well as other fruits! Most days I have a peanut butter and banana sandwich, or either I will eat it with a vitamuffin after my workout! Sometimes I'll even eat a small banana before I work out! It's not too heavy! I'm down 91 lbs and July 11, 2012 will be 2 years! I don't think bananas are my…

Nothing against people that do low carbs, but I have a friend that lost 8lbs in 1 month doing low carb! I lost 8 in the same amount of time exercising, drinking water, counting calories, and eatting wheat bread, and healthy fruits and vegtables. You will have a hard time convincing me that carbs are making me fat!! I did…

Saw a lady on the Today show! And she had lost over 100lbs. We had decided in July to switch from white to wheat, and to try to exercise! This site has truely been a God send. Everyone here is sooo supportive! It's free, and now I have the app on my phone. There have been studies done that prove that pople that keep a food…

yep make mine the same way but instead of black olives i use fresh mushrooms and onions. And I use fat free shredded mozarella!! It's Yummy!! And I have found that for some reason it is better grilled on the grill than baked in theoven!!

My girls have dance on Monday, and every Monday its Subway 6" turkey on wheat with spinach, red onion and mustard with baked barbeques lays and apples. But I will admit that this past Monday I tried the Turkey and Ham. It was good!! And the same amount of calories!!

I try to drink between 16 to 18 8ounce glasses a day especially if my sodium is higher!! so whats that 128- 144 ounces!! No wonder we go through a lot of toilet paper at my house!!!:::laugh:

Penutbutter and banana sandwich!! Yum!!! My favorite lunch!!

Hey the 1st week is probably the hardest to get your body used to it, but you many try high fiber snacks and foods so that you stay full longer. Also try eatting 5-6 smaller meals. Maybe every 2 hours. You may try chewing gum, and drink plenty of water. But probably the best advice is make sure you have a plan so that if…

Congratulations!! You look GREAT!!

I definetly think walking counts as an exercise. That is all I would do at first! And that 1st week I lost 9lbs. Hey I also changed from white to wheat. But at 1st I would just do the 1 mile Susan Samsone. Now I do more, but walking is definetly an exercise, and it's free!! And if it's outside it's fresh air!!

Congratulations!! Welcome to "onderland"!!!!

You look AMAZING and very happy!! Congratulations!!

hey all of us have been there. But let me tell you what I've tried recently that I think has worked for me. I know your time is probably hectic like everyones but I have started trying to split up my exercise. I try to do 30-45 minutes time I wake up, then I will do 30-45 later. I have also increased my calorie intake. I…

AMAZING and very inspirational!! Congratulations!!

Congratulations!! You looke AMAZING!!

Hey I'm a coffee drinker too!! But I don't drink soda, nor anything else for that matter. Haven't had a drink in at least 2 years but really quit drinking drinks 12 years ago. For the record I have an uncle that is almost 90. He has always been very small. He drinks 3 (12) cup pots a day!!!!! That is not a typeo. He goes…

I like Red Lobster if you can resist the cheese biscuits. And Japaneese steakhouse is not bad. But you know what I try to do if I know I'm going out is I just try to exercise a little more. But you know I really think it does your body and mind good tomess up every once in a while. But seafood is not high in fat or…
