  • Where are you from? Do you have an accent? That will help you make friends - jk ;) Just be friendly and people are typically friendly back.
  • Hi, Cheryl. I'm Michelle and I hear ya. I started out with 113 lbs. to lose initially - I may adjust that down when I reach my goal. I've lost 40 so far and MFP has been the only thing that's ever worked for me. In the past I've lost 10, 15 and as much as 20 lbs. but never more than that and I've always gained it all back.…
  • Sautee in a tsp. of olive oil, add minced garlic and a small amount of parmesan cheese.....delish!
  • Yes, this!
  • Adonia frozen greek yogurt bars. 75 calories, fat free and a great source of protein!
  • I'm 5"1' and started out @ 263 and now weight 223. My goal is 150 because that's what I weighed in high school and I was healthy and athletic then. Plus I've never been thin and 150 is a whole heck of a lot better than 263. If I'm feeling like I want to get smaller when I get there I will adjust my goal.
  • I have homeschooled all 3 of my kids. My 20 year old through high school, my 15 year old through mid school (he wanted to go to high school at a local college prep academy) and my youngest is 12 and going into 7th grade in our homeschool. My kids are very outgoing and active in many different activities. Find a homeschool…
  • That's awesome. I'm only 5'1" and I've picked a goal weight still overweight or even obese by all the charts - 150 lbs. The reason I chose this weight is because A. it's what I weighed in high school and I was healthy and athletic then and B. I've NEVER been thin and 150 is still waaaaay better than 263 which was my…
  • Your best bet would be natural cheese. Lowfat part skim mozzarella has harly any calories and you don't have to worry about any weird ingredients. It's just natural cheese. Most of the weight watchers stuff has tons of sodium and unnatural ingredients. Of course we all eat some processed food, but cheese is something that…
  • Turkey tacos with greek yogurt in place of sour cream and homemade guacamole and homemade calabacitas on the side made with garden fresh zucchini!
  • No need to feel guilty! I think that's why we give up. We feel guilty for splurging and then we think "What's the use?" In the big scheme of things it was one day and a celebration at that!! Don't ever feel guilty for celebrating a special day, there are going to be a lot of those. It's what we do on the days we are not…
  • I eat what I want, but I'm finding that what I want has changed over the last few months since I started my weight loss plan. Initially I was eating more fast and processed foods, but staying within my caloric limits. Now I'm eating way better and more unprocessed foods and when I do have the occasional splurge I don't…
  • We were planning a trip to Disneyland for August and I really wanted to ride the rides and knew I wouldn't fit on most the size I was so that was another movitivation. Our trip has been postponed until spring break next year but the good news is that we recently went to our small local amusement park and I got to ride the…
  • I apologize, I started this board when I first joined MFP, then forgot about it because I've been so busy with life!! Let me tell you a litle bit about myself. I'm 46 and I've been overweight my entire life. I have a wonderful husband and we will celebrate our 25th anniversary in August! I have three great kids - 2 sons…
  • Try substituting olive oil for the butter and use garlic & herb Mrs. Dash along with the lemon for some more seasoning.
  • Where oh, where is the like button on MFP??? LOL It's still counterintuitive for me as well, but I'm learning. Thanks for being such an inspiration, Marcie!!!!
