  • Depends on the brand, unless it specifically says "Low Sodium" it's pretty much all high in it. I have been told that Boar's Head and Dietz & Watson are the best, pricey and sometimes hard to find, but good.
  • A whole new wardrobe... and on that day, I will burn all my old "Fat Clothes", and donate all my newer. I'm about to invest in baggy draw-string pants, so I don't have to worry about buying a new wardrobe every other clothes size lost. I have about 13 sizes to loose, that would be alot of clothes to have to buy on a fixed…
  • Thank you all, I appreciate all your honesty. Free2live7200, I am living very much like your life. I am 48 and have had 2 separate doctors over the last 7 years suggest this surgery, but because of insurance and other personal issues I was not able to get organized until February of this year. I have High Blood Pressure…
  • To put some non-religious believers at ease, I am a "religious person" and I do believe. One of my pastors believed... And, my children's father and a friend of his used to exercise ghosts and helped them "find their way home" (when he was a believer, and wasn't angry with God... another long story). I've actually had an…
  • If you have a Wii or Kinect, try one of their Sports games. They usually have a combination of bowling, boxing, table tennis, soccer.... etc. They will give you a good workout and in some cases, if you are not able to stand for long periods of time, you can do some of the games in a sitting position. It is also a way to…
  • Pet Light Ice Creams, only 120 calories per 1/2 cup serving. Don't need much to satisfy my sweet tooth, and if I need a little crunch, I add a serving of cereal, like Crispix or Cheerios (substitutes for the cone, and more nutritious). Salty snacks I go for 1 oz portions of Jack Link's Beef Steak (jerky), it's only 70…
  • Hey Hun :-), Another walk to think about might be "Relay for Life", sponcered by the American Cancer Society. They are run all over the US in the spring and summer. Getting a motivational Team and raising money for cancer research, and then spending the evening walking a track in 30 minute intervals may be a good precurser…
  • I have to lose around 250 lbs. I've Lost a total of 21 lbs so far since November, and 11 lbs since I started MFP. I sent you an invite, feel free to add me as well. God bless.
  • I was hoping this point would be made... Thank you.
  • Actually, grapes are a low-sugar food. I apologize that I don't have my old WW valet, but if I remember correctly, you would have to eat 1-1/2 cups of grapes to equal "1" point (50 to 60 calories). (Any Weight Watchers members please correct me if I'm wrong) Really fleshy fruits like mangos and bananas are higher in…
  • Frigo Cheeseheads - Light String Cheese, 1 oz piece... it has 60 calories, 3 g fat, 8 g protein, 230 mg sodium (is that too much salt?) :smile: Oh! and only 1 g carbs.
  • Thank you very much, I'll look into that.:smile:
  • I have severe osteo-arthritis in both knees and the on-set in both hips. I'm looking at weight-loss surgery in 6+ months to be the first step before getting my knees, hips and wrists (oh! yeah! I also have carpel tunnel in both wrists) repaired. Any ideas for exercises for someone on crutches and/or limited mobility would…
