thanks....I really need this

HI KIM!!! good for you.....not only do I love a good bargain, but I love being able to buy from the regular sizes. I'm just hovering between both departments and find that I have even less options.....waiting for the day to be on the "other side" full time. and you are so strong to give up the scale. I am an everyday…

he he he - now I'm crossing my legs constantly....almost like the obsessing over my collar bones and touching them all the time when I found them emerging :)

I had a similar situation where a vendor brought in a box of freshy baked cookies that were still WARM! I thanked them and then promplty walked around the floor and gave them out to my co-workers. some day's are harder than others but your paving a road of the new you and this is a perfect milestone marker of how far you…

hmmmm I like that idea, means I'll have to go shopping ;)

When I make my "Mediterranean" burgers I top them with some roasted peppers and then make up a little tzatziki using 0% fat yogurt....delish!

totally of topic but love Minor Threat :D

I discovered this after making a ham for Christmas with lots of left overs. While it says to do it in a crock pot, I cooked mine on the stove for most of the day and it was the yummiest thing ever. I also like it better without the potato http://allrecipes.com/recipe/grandma-bs-bean-soup/detail.aspx

We have my boyfriends daughter every other weekend. I know her Mum tries her best but is not the best cook and defers to high sugar and carb convenience meals all the time. Luckily she is an active girl and not overweight but sadly her genes could easily change that. So when she is with us I try and educate her on how to…

I’ve been Lap-banded for nearly 3 years and have lost 90lbs, but that was through hard work. It bothers me that people give WLS a bad rap assuming it’s the easy way out. It also bugs me when I read banded people cry about how the LapBand was mis-advertized as “never diet again” I worked hard at every pound lost, I still…

they're everywhere! lol Toronto representing!!!

Why not bring a "hostess" gift instead. A nice bowl of fresh strawberries and blueberries and some other fruit for people to sprinkle on their pancakes. This way you are not being insulting to the hostess by bringing your own food and if you're still nibbly the berries are fairly low in calories. :flowerforyou:…

That is awesome...I'm going to have to try a distraction like this next time I get bingy. I've been on MFP now for 3 weeks and have been doing really well (down 7.2 pounds yay!) But the other day when I was home alone I started to graze and ate well over what I should have for the day. What I do love about this site is how…

I spend a couple of hours once a week prepping single servings of raw veggies and fruit which are great to grab and go. I also I love roast veggies skewered on the BBQ! These are very time consuming so when I do make them I usually make about 4x the serving and grill them all at once. Not only are they wonderful (and…

spa day, piece of jewelry, new haircut style, new outfit....anything that would be considered a splurge :) congrats!

I weigh everyday, but I don't freak out if I up a little it's really just a status check. Fridays are my official weigh day. I know if I don't weigh myself I'm not paying attention and one day leads to a week and that's pounds start to creep on.

I've always thought that people were being kind by being shocked by my actual wight number. I've been blessed with a well proportioned body, but I also have a big bone structure (i.e. I cant wrap my fingers around my own wrist .... defined with wrist bones, no fat there). I think the first time I really believed I weighed…

that a Subway 6inch sub was actually TWO servings :o and that mayo is 100cals a tablespoon

I'm in the same boat....bored with the work. Here too I found getting up and walking to the office kitchen to make a cup of tea. this helped stop me going down to the shopping center for a Starbucks coffee, which almost always resulted in a stop by the drug store for chocolates or some other sweet I didn't need.

I'm the same way Looking at old photos, my boyfriend who likes a fuller figured girl, commented on a photo of me when I was 17 saying I was "almost skinny" (I've got an hourglass curvy shape) Looking at the photo now I was perfect and saddens me to know how horrible I felt about myself back then.

I used to think emotional eating was my problem but I've found over the last little while that I really tend to binge when I'm bored. I've managed to get the grazing at work under control through logging my food and checking in from time to time, but after dinner if I have the house to myself I tend to go nuts....even…

Try using cucumber rounds as a substitute for crackers! I'll make up some tuna salad (add lots of finely chopped celery) with fat free mayo and a dash of dill and put a dollop on just just like a cracker! adding spinach and chopped peppers to spaghetti sauce or when I make something a little rich like butter chicken I'll…

Hi I'm from Toronto and just joined today! Looking to be accountable for what goes in my mouth! Feel free to add me.
