If you don't get an answer here, try asking it under Main Forum Topics "Food and Nutrition" they are much more savvy than here - this Discussion is mainly for Beginners to Beginners.

Hi Stephanie - I'm not familiar with IBS much. I do have a good friend with it, so I do sympathize with you. I used the SEARCH function and did find a Discussion thread about IBS - it looks as if it has slowly stopped being used, but I'm going to give you the link. I'd suggest you copy the link, paste it into your web…

@Johnstonlin - Welcome back to MFP - yep its hard to do "it" again. I know - and I'm sort of a full timer here and I'm still fighting as well. May I suggest you go to the Main Page for Forums, go to either the FITNESS tab and go to a sport Discussion you enjoy and click on it, and join in the chat there or on the Main Page…

Are you still doing OK? Have you joined other discussions? Theres plenty of support and more chat available under the Main Topics - under EXERCISE, SUPPORT AND MOTIVATION, and many other topics as well. If you havent' explored the tabs on your home page, theres so much to learn there as well. Keep plugging away!.

Congratulations on your weight loss - isn't that terrific? It is a weird feeling at first to get those compliments. I agree and I found, personally, the self esteem issue remained after I lost weight - it turned out to be a separate issue. B) - You can find and discuss this with people if you search through the SUPPORT AND…

Welcome - you certainly found the right place. Be sure to read thru all the different discussions going on under the heading SUPPORT AND MOTIVATION. Possibly you'll find a bunch of people looking to lose a similar amount of weight and you can support each other, or read the FITNESS sections to find discussions on Running -…

Oh shoot, I missed being able to say "good morning" by 8 minutes! Rats... Oh well, I did pretty darn well, went to bed at my night owl's time of 3 am but set alarm for 8:30. My nervous system woke me at 8:10 to avoid the alarm. Doing the am routine took me til now - and I am keeping my promise to post, so I'm all happy…

@eppack - Hi Elaine - I'm not too familiar with the question your'e asking, but I think if you ask it in the "Recipes" Forum, you will get your answer. - The "Recipes" Forum can be found this way. From your HOME page, click on MESSAGE BOARDS, then HOME, then MAIN FORUMS, then choose RECIPES. - good luck!

@oneta29 - Hi - if you want to join in one of the Over 50 Discussions, you just need to click on the Discussion title of your choice and go to the most current page and post a comment and basically you have joined that Discussion. Most Discussion Topic members are very welcoming and in a few days you will receive welcomes…

Here I am again - another goal: I 'intend' to 'attend' to this discussion in the Mornings - haha- rather than wait til the evening! Also, if you look at my pic, you may notice it says under my pic, "MFP Greeter". Yep, I am now officially a member of the Moderator Team. They approached me in December, and I quickly…

Welcome to all the newbies - so glad to see you here and with such positive attitudes you all have you are going to do GREAT. We will support you and help you along on your bad days - don't worry about those - we'll be here for you especially on those! :D All you "oldies" - what great words and phrases I am reading for…

I'm folding up my tent for the night. Hope someone else can give bsracer some advice on his dinner question posted bottom of page 632.

@bsracer - that's not a bad recipe or meal at all - what will make it better is a big side of vegetables - and then only eat a portion of the chicken and noodles, and 2-3 portions of veggies. Have you ever used the Recipe Builder on MFP that tells you - after you enter your ingredients into it - how many calories are in…

@MKknits - why do you refer to it at a "good luck" dinner? Is that a family term or a heritage term? You've got me curious ..... @Morgoris - Amy and Tom - your pictures of Christmas are lovely. What a beautiful couple you are. Tom - did you use the smoker Amy gave you? Did you play Santa for any one elses kids? . My ex…

@MKknits - what a great idea for remembering your saying for the year. I checked it out and its remarkable - and to think of who the quote is from just blows me away. What a great thinker! Loving yourself is SO important. Another good idea of conquering your current fitness items before you get any more. @RobinB - so nice…

@MaryPoppins - I hope you get all you wishes,, and the first one very soon. Toxic inlaws are such a drain on relationships moving is about all you can do @jtconst - those car sales are so great the end of December - great that you got in on them! What color is your Silverado? Its really YOUR year isn't it? @Kai - I didn't…

@jeheer -welcome and thanks for joining our Discussion on this Happy Day. I like your Choice of Phrase - I thought a lot about that too. One of the Bush presidents, I'm not sure if it was Sr. or Jr., was nicknamed "have half" because he was the type of kid who'd always offer whatever he had to anyone who joined him, and…

@Skinny - I like the leggings and boots look too, but when you're tall, I agree not the booty hanging out! skirts are a great option - glad you were able to find some fashionable looks - for nites out? Can you wear them teaching? Love your favorite students comments - so sweet and funny! @Kaye - so happy for you to be out…

Here are some phrases I've been tossing about for the one I am going to choose to live by in 2015. I'm still not sure. Feel free to take one for yourself if your not sure either..... Take Tiny Bites Move More Swiftly Each Week. Have Half Of That – It will Satisfy You Fervently Believe In Your Goal Stop. Remember A Moment…

<3 <3 <3 <3 We are also proposing we each choose One Special Word (or Phrase) to Live By in the New Year. This will be in lieu of a New Years Resolution. The one word should be a word that resonates with you and applies to the change you are making in yourself. You should be able to easily remember it and to easily think…

Welcome to any newbies I missed in yesterday's post. And welcome back MaryPoppins. Sure I remember you _ and cool news on the six month old! Glad you're getting back on track. @Niki - sorry for your grief and loss of your kitty. Big HUGS your way. @Susan -glad to hear your settling into your nest - sorry dad got on your…

@bap - Believe - what a resounding word! glad to see you're still around, so often people come her but once, and then gone forever. You made my heart rise -so, thank you for the lift! @Melfornia -skating, I can picture that, and your leg muscles talking back at you! Really good strong show not getting ice cream! Good NSV!…

@jdpnotler - welcome both to MFP and to this Discussion. Don't stress too much about the number of lbs you have to lose, instead break it down into manageable numbers, such as 10 or 20 lbs, - with 20 lbs, you only have 5 sets of 20 lbs to lose, which seems a lot easier in my mind at least. Also you can set up rewards for…

@Laurie - congrats on your 4 Year Anniversary of changing your lifestyle ! (*) You're the MOST ACTIVE PERSON HERE I Think - at least, the most diverse! A great example for the newbies and us oldies. @Barbara = tenacity - thats a powerful word - great choice. @Skinny - road trip -absolutely! So many great books at the…

I changed the wording to include the word "Phrase:" We are also proposing we each choose One Special Word or Phrase to Live By in the New Year. This will be in lieu of a New Years Resolution. The one word (or phrase) should be something that resonates with you and applies to the change you are making in yourself. You…

@melfornia - welcome -happy to have you join us! You've had an interesting life. Your current career is really taking off. At one time, it was my dream to be a writer but I went into nursing instead. I had anxiety when I had to face people and interview them - LOL! so, it was a good move. But, I continue to write every…

@Niki - Kitcat is so beautiful - and I hope you can hold him forever. Whenever my kitteys became that ill, I would entice them to eat with pan-cooked hamburger, diced very tiny, mixed with cooked rice, and smothered in (canned) low sodium beef gravy. Often they would only take a taste or too, but later at times they would…

@Kah - sage is a beautiful and relaxing color - just curious what are the colors for the bedrooms? @Fionat - many years ago (just check the date of that post!) we had to change the name of this Discussion so I used that word phalarope as a search term for any members who were lost to come find us...it worked quite well...)…

@slimbluehen - you're very generous with your words! Don't feel bad about the ice cream any longer than it took to eat it. Move on and keep moving. Hey, if your DH's reading really interfere's with your posting, ask him to repeat himself and say you want to quote him in your post. Maybe that will stop him! @Laurie - thanks…
