add reuced sugar jam....Iike it plain. I use it anywhere I would use sour cream, like chili with chopped scallions....

I use fat free half and half. It is only 10 cals per tablespoon. You could then add any sweeteners and extracts like vanilla, almond, or cinnamon etc....I don't ususally sweeten my coffee.

why does there have to be a blameworthy person. clearly this was a person who was very sick. I personally am apalled at some of the heartless mean responses that I have see to this post. No blame....no blame...no blame. Sad to see how quick others are to judge.

I am about a month from my 63rd Birthday. I have lost a little over 51 pounds and have been maintaining for some time. I do not deny myself the things I love, I just do them in moderation and make sure I compensate if I eat a little something more than I "should." People have told me that I dont need to lose more and that…

63 and 50 down here!

I eat a fat free yogurt and fruit for breakfast or a bowl of high fiber cereal for breakfast with fruit. always have, probably always will. I dont always eat it the moment I get up...sometimes it is mid morning but I find if I dont have at least a little complex carb and protein in the morning, by 11am I am literally…

Maybe if you did not come across so hostile more people would accept??? Just saying, you kinda seem a little angry. I know if someone asks me to be friends, I usually accept. There are no requirements. :happy:

There but for the grace of God go I.....:happy:

let it go...she sounds like a really unhappy whacko. not worth the space in your head or ruining your work out shedule. If she ever comes up to you in the gym, just tell her you were following her because she seemed so erratic and upset , and was driving so haphazardly, you thought she might be ill and you just wanted to…

Go on with yer bad self! You are an inspiration! The best of the best. Thanks for showing us that hard work and committment do bring awesome results! Lessele :flowerforyou:

I am not sure what you ate, but you need to maintain at least 1200 calories a day. that is what I eat and I am never hungry. Eat desne foods like protein and complex carbs.

FRUITS AND VEGGIES ARE ALWAYS GOOD BUT IT IS THE NON WATER SOLUBLE FIBER THAT FORMS THE STOOL. SO LETTUCE ISNT THE ANSWER. TRY USING FLAX OR PSYLLIUM. IF YOUR FOOD PLAN ALLOWS, ADD SOME WHOLE GRAIN OR YAMS AS WELL...I HAVE THE SAME ISSUES. WATER, VEGGIES, FRUITS WILL HELP BUT YOU NEED FIBER THAT IS NON WATER SOLUBLE...

I have been a yo yo for many years...I joined this site back in May and have lost about 50 lbs. I find that some days I just dont log in and that is just the way it is. My major tip for success is to take this one day at a time. You mentioned being "good for a few days"...just make a committment to yourself to do the best…

incredible! You are an inspiration!!! :happy:

Order Fajitas if you can. they will serve you chicken (or beef or shrimp) which has been grilled and sauteed peppers and onions. the sour cream salsa and guacamole comes seperate. Avoid the chips and you dont have to eat the tortillas. Stick with the corn tortillas if you are going to eat any or just eat the rice. Good…

Rule of thumb, 4 oz is about the size of a deck of cards or the palm of your hand. The 4 oz. rule doesn't always apply to store bought chicken breasts. For example sometimes a breast can weigh 6 or even 8 oz. Use your eyes and even better, a scale.

I think that is not accurate...If I eat 3 avocados a banana and 2 baked potatoes I am going to gain weight. I am a huge fan of fruit and vegetables of all types. It is dangerous to think that there are so called "free foods". I have tried just about every diet in the world and I can tell you that what you put in your mouth…

fruits are never free...

not only to fruits and veggies have carbs and calories and some even have a fat content, it is the habit of being accountable for what goes in my mouth that is important. I can get lazy and break good habits quickly. If I dont log than I might not measure. If I dont measure I am lost and completely unaccountable....If I…

gorgeous!....natural and lovely without makeup!

I use it sometimes. I dont feel like it gives me any energy or anything...it is just a taste....

Heck Yeah! You go Girl! Would you even be asking this if the roles were reversed?...I say enjoy! p.s. I am going to be 62 next month and there woulod be nothing stopping me.

Yogurt (with probiotics), a course of Acidophilus and bifidum (a good probiotic will have them and others) also kefir. Any time you take antibiotics, you are killing the friendly flora and fauna that live in your digestive system along with other bacteria. You need to replenish it. also be on gaurd for yeast infections as…

Heck NO...many people are severely allergic to MSG. I had a friend when I was a girl, and every time we ate at a particular Chinese restarant she would get a wierd feeling in her jaw and a headache. This was back in the '60's. We all thought she was a little nutty....but it turns out those are 2 of the symptoms of MSG…

I am very content with my 1200 cals. I have been consistently losing and have managed to go down about 24+ since April. Feel free to check me out! I am Lessele

congratulations! You look wonderful, healthy and fit...you are an inspiration to us all

great job. I love that by eating meals you lost a lot of weight. Did you ever ask your friend to send you some recipes? Keep up the great work. this is a journey to health and self respect...key word "journey"! We dont get to stumble around in the woods for 25 years and then just walk out overnight! You are an inspiration.…

more than 24 years free here!

how often do you weigh yourself? I only weigh myself every few weeks. We can get way too preoccupied with numbers. Are you watching your portion control? I dont know but sometimes changing up the foods you eat will do it. More fruits and veggies less processed and starchy...I wish you all the best. It is a process so dont…

get those rubber bandie things and you can do legs and arms with them...:wink:
