I love it!

Thanks!

:ohwell:

I am also in the same boat. I have been on here since March and keep hovering @ 26 BMI. I have developed these sugary chocolate cravings since I have gotten older and for some reason every time I lose a couple of pounds I want to spend a day grazing on treats. Not a full out binge, just a little candy here and there…

Great job! You look terrific!

I am making this very soon. Is it selfish of me to be glad that it took a rant to get this recipe?

Great job! You look terrific!

Me too!:smile:

Awesome!

Grind it up in your food processor making it into flour. Then use it as an ingredient in muffins, banana bread etc. I use part whole wheat flour and part oat flour. The texture is not light like cake but more dense and robust. I also sub applesauce for part of the fat and stevia for part of the sugar.

Awesome idea!

All I can say is that if you shouldn't be here this site shouldn't be here. I personally have found this site so supportive and I hope you do to. Although I do not have as much to lose as you, I have a grown child and his best friend who face almost the exact same challenge as you. They are trying to use the buddy system…

Wow! great job!

Hey! I remember you from the stop smoking site. I came here for the same reason (non-smoking weight control). I'll have 3 yrs Smoke Free May 31. Welcome to MFP. I just started here about a month ago. People here are friendly and helpful! No advise, but best of luck!

Thanks for posting. I needed this.

I would love to offer support and receive support. I am 55 (56 this Sat.) I also teach High School and eat when stressed. I too am suddenly in the clutches of age related metabolism drop. I am currently 142 but only 5' 2" so I can relate to everything you say. I am sending a friend request. Looking forward to hearing from…

Awesome!

Wow, I relate too! First off, you do NOT suck. Be able to identify all those triggers for your eating proves that you really want this. I had a bad day at work today and came home and took a nap instead of walking, then I got up and raided the relish tray my husband brought home from work. Just writing that makes me laugh.…

Congrats and great work!

It is probably a combination of things. All teens want to be liked by their peers. Sounds like no one has really held her accountable (in a good way) either. She may be trying to fit in. If she is ahead, she might be bored, if behind she may be trying to save face. She may have never studied before and may need help. As…

Thanks for all the great support and tips. It actually quit raining here so I'm about to go out now. I think I may try to brave the elements one of these days :smile: In the meantime I liked the idea of not letting the treadmill win!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks for the advise. I will re-read this afternoon before hopping on that treadmill!

P.S. It is raining right now!

Hi! Am adding you now. We have similar stories. My smoking quit will be 3 yrs May 31! Have been struggling with the weight ever since. We can do this!!

Great job! Good for you!

Please add me. I need all the support and encouragement I can get!
