Hi all. I would also like new friends. You keep me accountable. Feel free to add me.

I’m beginning my journey again! I would like to lose at minimum 20 pounds. I’m looking toward summer. If I keep on track, I will be more in range of my goal.

Hang in there! Losing weight and creating new habits are challenging, but you can do it. You’ve made a commitment as have I. We can do it!!

Vanilla Greek yogurt with fresh blueberries and salted roasted almonds....And coffee of course

Strawberry Spinach Salad with almonds and minced onion. I like raspberry vinaigrette or poppyseed dressing with it. It’s a simple salad and tastes wonderful. It’s also low calorie.

I bake fish often. A recipe I created is: Four filets (usually white fish, tilapia or cod) squeeze fresh lemon juice on each then spoon topping on filets and bake until fish flakes. Use just enough butter to make the panko crumbly. Add seasoning to taste. Cover fish and bake. The thinner the fish, the quicker it bakes, so…

Try a new vegetable each week, and you’ll find what tastes good. I acquired a taste for a few vegetables. My children were never picky eaters, therefore it caused me to expand my palate. I tried different recipes until I found ones my family found appealing.

I enjoy half a serving of salted roasted almonds most days. It’s 85 calories. My soda stream has also been a good investment. I drink much much more water now. I flavor it with fresh lemons, sometimes fresh lemons and blueberries or fresh grapefruit. It has cut my craving for soda. ..

I log daily. I forget to complete the day at times, but try to go back and finish. Having other daily users helps me too. Please feel free to add me.

I’ve been a member for sometime...joined around 2012. I too like active users and interaction with others. It helps keep me accountable if I know others look through my food diary. I also like and to share my successes, challenges and recipes, etc.

Sure! I am striving to lose 18 pounds another goal is to be in the gym at minimum 4 x a week and be outside busy with yard work and my garden on a daily basis. Previously, my exercise regime was walking on average 4 miles a day. I did this regularly for a long time but let work interfere and eventually just stopped. In…

MFP worked for me. I am back at it again. I would like to slim down 10 lbs to start. I have found it easier to start with small goals. Larger numbers are too daunting and seem unachieveabe. I would like to give and get support from the MFP community. Please add me to your friend list if you like!

I love the Taste of Home books.

Sign me up! Challenges are most helpful to me. I'd like to lose a bit more than 9, but this will get me on my way. I haven't been exercising regularly of late. I Will get straight back to my walking routine of 4-5 times a week.

Honeycrisp apples are the best! I enjoy one a day year around, but they are the best tasting in the fall as this is apple season.

Ree Drummond is introducing a few low-carb dishes on her show. The cauliflower crust is rather good. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/ree-drummond/cauliflower-crust-pizza.html
