^^THIS"" When I started, I could barely walk at 2.5 mph. Why be so judgmental?? I know for me, if I didn't start at the gym, I would never have started. I have a treadmill at home, but that makes it too easy to quit and go sit on the couch instead. Give 'em a break!

Whoo Hoo is right! Congratulations to you and keep up the great work!! :flowerforyou:

This is a VERY OLD recipe (generations old). I believe it came about when people were too poor to afford fruit that didn't grow locally. I know my great-grandparents used this recipe and it was actually a family (not me) favorite. We also called it "poor man's pie".

LOL...these are great! Love the "my butt looks GOOD"!! Unfortunately, don't know that will ever be mine! I am doing Zumba and asked my daughter to teach me how to "shake my booty". Her response - "you have to have a booty to shake first mom!!" :ohwell:

I was really wanting some of these for breakfast today. I have used Ricotta cheese instead of cottage cheese and liked them. I was too lazy to stop at the store to get more Ricotta so thought I would just try making it with the blueberry Greek yogurt I had in the fridge.....OMG....A-MAZING! Totally changed the flavor. I…

Agreed! Eat them and count them! My doctor actually encouraged me to eat them daily to help reduce my bad cholesterol! And they are oh-so delicious!!! :tongue:

Thanks everyone! It really does feel GREAT to be able to do things I haven't done in years because of my weight!! The scale isn't moving much, but I certainly have improvement in stamina to make up for it!! I would rather feel better and be able to do things I want to do, than to see the numbers slide down and still not be…

LOVE Oatmeal raison cookies! Thanks for sharing!:happy:

I'm with the OP....we aren't here to be bashed. When we ask a question, it's for a legitimate reason. A lot of us are just starting this journey and it is really disappointing when you see how rude some people are. I just don't get it!!! Thank you for standing up for the underdogs!:drinker:

Oh yum....I have everything I need to make these tonight!!

DITTO!!!! As my parents used to say, "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say anything at all". I appreciate everyone's assistance. I can read labels and make my own decisions regarding what is right or wrong for me.

LOL..you are making me cry! Thank you for your support. Without this post, I may NEVER have had the courage to try!

Thanks everyone! I can't wait for my husband to get home so I can tell him (my #1 fan) of my accomplishments! It definitely is tough when that darned scale refuses to budge. I'm ready to throw mine out the window!!:angry:

OKAY....I am BACK! First of all, this may be a lengthy post so I apologize. Secondly, I want to say a really BIG THANK YOU to everyone who posted here for getting me off my lazy butt today!. I live near Seattle, WA so we don't have very many really GREAT days to be outdoors. Today was one of them. Without this post, I…

Ok, read through the entire thread. Now getting dressed to go do that three mile walk uphill I keep telling myself I'm going to do! It is a challeng I have thought about for the last five years. Today will be the day I quit saying someday! I'll check back in when I get home!:laugh:

WOW! You are ME!!.....or I am YOU!:tongue:

. That is so nice of you! I'm only a size 9. I've been using my New Balance, and have a heck of a time being able to MOVE!

Thank you!:flowerforyou:

Anyone out there that would be kind enough to respond??

My biggest fear with losing as much weight as I want/need to is that I will look my age...or even worse...I'll look OLDER. Hope you get some good info re your post!

DEFINITELY!!! LOVE them!:love:

I now know what's for breakfast tomorrow!! YUM!! I LOVE pumpkin muffins!:love:

Share your recipe please!!

Thanks!

Good point. I actually do walk up an incline at home and on the treadmill! Thanks!

Ditto this! I was SOOO frustrated and then today I finally lost 1.5!! I also increased my calories over the last week as I realized from other posts that my BMR number was not correct. Whatever it was, I'm just darned glad to finally see that cotton pickin scale MOVE!!

Bump!
