HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Have you tried the cake recipe where you put a can of diet soda....your choice of flavors....soda goes into the cake mix.....instead of all the other stuff. So bake yourself something lite.....and then go buy yourself a birthday gift....new shoes...jewelry....some little something. It doesn't have to be…

Someone on another thread mentioned DANDELION ROOT as a natural diuretic. I bought a bottle (in capsule form) at my local grocery store in the supplements / health foods section. So I've been taking about half the recommended dose fore about6 days now and I believe it has helped with the water retention problem. I use…

Hopeful.... Congrats on the 1.2lbs loss!! Yaaay! And yes, that.2lbs does count....it's very important. Every little bit counts. Thank goodness for digital scales. Also good job going to the gym. Cassie

Shelly......your sin can't be any worse than my sin....LOL. Good for you for changing that setting on your diary. I'm not that brave, yet. Maybe one day. Keep up the good work! Cassie

Cathy, congrats on your loss!!! Any loss is great! And every little bit counts. So kewl that you had a loss considering you were out of town, too. And so nice of your little lady friend helping you stay on track...LOL... SUCH A CUTE VISUAL. ;-)

So my MONDAY CHECK IN is actually happening on Tuesday .....it's after midnight here. I couldn't get online earlier, so I just finished reading everyones posts. So this week has been pretty good. I have found that since I bought a new scale, it has made be be a good bit more strick about my food choices. I do need that…

YAAAAY MALIAS!!! WOW!!! Congratulation on a great loss!!! I'm so happy for you! Keep up the goo work, girl. And don't forget to drink that water!

Jackie.....Don't give up!!! I know it's discouraging a lot of the time.....especially when the scale is not being nice. When I first joined MFP, my calories were way higher than they are now. I reset my calories almost 400 lower than what MFP recommends. And as inactive as I am, I could probably stand to drop the cals some…

Congratulations Grandma Jo!!! Yaaay! What exciting news! Have a fun trip. Be safe. Hope Hombre is doing better.

OMG!!! Can I move to Canada??? I guess I'm just gonna have to live with my extra skiN....Lol Linda....don't worry so much about being in a hurry to get us all organized on here. You have a life too. We're kewl. Just know how wonderful it is that you started this group. All the other stuff will fall in place. You're kewl.…

SPY SUNDAY.... I absolutely hate the sagging skin that often comes wit weight loss. Mostly it's the belly & stretch marks. Stretch marks have been there since pregnancy 41 yrs ago. Gaining weight over the years has just accentuated it. I'm not in a position to have excess skin removed....but I CAN hide that with clothes.…

Good job on the 4 mile walk yesterday......even if ya are a little stiff today. But I think maybe bathing big dogs counts as exercise...LOL.... those big dogs are a bit of work. B-)

Hey everyone..... Just checking in again before bed. My veggie soup was wonderful. I really am a good cook....I guess my weight is evidence of that. So my day was spent cooking and crocheting. I'm working on a twin bed size blanket. I am determined this year to start my Christmas projects / gifts early. I am hoping to get…

Malias.....I sure hope to get a look at the moon later......but here in Klamth Falls we've had snow for the last week. It snow & melts and then snows & melts some more. I woke up to about 5 inches this morning and that's not melting too fast. And we haven't seen much sun lately. Maybe the clouds will clear later.....we…

Happy Saturday!!! Looks like everyone is either still asleep today, or everyone is out doin' stuff. I'm home cooking vegetable soup today. I'm mostly just being lazy today.....woke up to about 5 inches of snow on the yard. I was hoping to get out of the house today, but that's not happening. Maybe tomorrow. So I don't see…

Sorry to hear of your loss I know you will be missing Chess dreadfully. I had to have my Lucy (in the picture) put to sleep a few weeks ago so I can empathise with you. My 14 year old terrier Barnie still stands on the door step calling for her and searches the house for her every night. [/quote] AkaDumbo....condolences to…

Ditto what Claudia does with asparagus....yum! Also.....asparagus is good raw cut into 1 inch pieces thrown into a salad with other salad veggies & greens.

So sorry to hear about your dog, Chess. I'm sending you hugs.....this is a hard thing to lose a beloved part of your family. I'm a major animal lover myself. We lost our beautiful Standard Poodle ...13yrs old, and my 17yr old back kitty, both last year. It's painful, I know. Just know that Chess will be in your heart…

I try not to drink calories. When calories are sooo limited, I'd rather eat them than drink them. You can always take a supplement for what ya need. And...LOL.....what other mamal drinks milk all of its life? Once the baby mamals are weaned, that's it. Only humans drink milk all their lives. I'm not against milk, just…

Ditto what Claudia said. I also like Queen Bees.

So sorry about your doggie. I sent you a personal note about siezure meds. I also have discovered Hungry Girl.....isn't she amazing?! I am definitely gonna have to get some of that PB2 and give it a try. Sounds interesting.

I agree withyou Joanna. I don't like the BBW idea either. I rath like a title with Queen in it...LOL. I too am on my cell phone posting. Convenient even if the screen makes my eyes fuzzy. I'm glad you're feeling commited to coming here to our group.

Checking back in here. Had to take a break away from this cell phone screen. I don't care how large you make the fonts....it's still makes my eyes fuzzy. Aside from the fact that I need new glasses. Charmaine.....glad you're sticking with this and for using those weights. You can do this. We can do this! Jo....that's so…

Mollie......I like the Queen Bees.....

Karen......what's wrong with carrots when ya got the munchies? It's a good safe snack especially when you've reached your calorie limit. I'm glad you came here for the inspiration. We can do this!!!

Hey everyone! Looks like everyone made it thru the day ok.....read about some interesting triumphs here. My Triumph today is just being here to tell you all about it. My GrandBaby Girl didn't come over today after all. Her Mama wasn't feeling well. So they will come over on the weekend. That's kewl. So I made my corned…

Hopeful....that's quite a big step going cold turkey on your "danger foods" as I call them. Good job!. I try to stay completely away from my danger foods too......like the things I just have no control with......ya can't eat just one. Keep up the good work.
