You have to stay away from chain restaurants! Also, do not accept the "free" foods (buttered white bland breads - served with extra sweet butter), chips (deep fried with added extra salt) Once you start eating real healthy foods, and take the time to realize just what it is you are eating and tasting real goodness, the…

Age is not in this rule book! Just think, you'll loose weight and look and feel even that much younger!

The best news is you've started (as opposed to those out in the world that need to start, but deny they do). The good news is you can increase veggies and fruit and real clean foods and keep your calorie intake low. More good news is YES YOU CAN EXERCISE!! Just not walking, running. Try core training, arm/upper body…

Learned earlier this week about a great substitute for sweetened coffee creamers to Silk Almond Vanilla milk.....FANTASTIC calorie saver! super fantastic fine here on MFP

Yeah, look up salads for your basic restaurant! So not the healthy option! Even if you have dressing on the side! Houston's Restaurant salads have a range of 750-500 calories and 30-60 grams of fat! I don't want my salad dressed for the artic . . . . . just scantily clad for the beach

"50" is a "clink" over on the doctor's scales (50-100-150-200).....of course it's a magic number! the little "whizzzzz" on the doctor's scales of single pounds (1-2-3-4-5) doesn't make the big sound like that of the "CLINK!!!!"....awesome!!
-
So now that you know the totals and breakdown -- if you did taste it, you'd probably be let down, as you'd be rationalizing it in your mind and realize the taste isn't worth the fat/sodium/calories! So yeah for you for looking it up to begin with At least you didn't have Hooter's wings, they are even worse!! Wing + heavy…

try crushed ice and one of the many drink sticks (crystal light, mio) they come in all sorts of flavors and you can mix and match together or with fresh fruit to make it more personalized. and should you indulge in a mixed alcohol drink, they are 10 calorie mixers not 100-200. they are also good with plain seltzer water!…

Amen! I walk, and my hands swell, so this week I walked holding weights (had at home 5 pound ankle weights, so I held those) whaaaa-laaaa . . . . I noticed when wlaking with the weights I tended to play with them and move my arms much more, so I'm sure it has something to do with circulation.

I too find that love/hate relationship with my scale! Can't live with it, can't kill it!

Somebody else's opion of you is none of your business........remember that! do it for you, not what someone else thinks, feels, says, believes.....get to and maintain your size for you and your ideals only!

It is amazing what kind of "control" our parents/grandparents have over us. I get it. They mean well, and if it were the "old days" where portion size and fat/sodium counts were different it wouldn't be the worst; however this is today, and things have changed. Offer to cook for your mom. Go to the grocery store to stock…

I so get it. I'm a mom of 2 (highly active extra ciricular schedules), full time employee (with/45 min commute), and hubby that travels alot on business. HATE the phrase "just a mom", as it takes talent to do the things we as moms do and while doing it make it look easy. Here are a few things that I've found helpful.…

Salad Greens Du jour (sack-o-salad) tuna/salmon (can or envelope) dried fruit flavored vinager (take plain vinager spice with dried/fresh seasoning let sit in a bottle use throughout the week). that's what i had all Mon-Fri last week, and really liked it! could also substitute with rotiss chicken/turkey

Do you not like typical breakfast foods? then eat what you'd eat for lunch or dinner. No law states you much eat eggs/cereal/yogurt/fruit If you don't like to look at food in the morning, either drink something or eat slightly later.

Sounds similar to a crepe.......could replace peanut butter with nutella (which has about same nutrition facts as reduced fat PB), and replace jam and/or cottage cheese with banana
