I have tried and tried to make chicken and broccoli taste like take out but can never get it to taste that good,

Dont know if you want fancy or simple but spaghetti pie is something you can make a head then just pop it in the oven for around 40 minutes..Its not to high in calories ( use ground turkey in mine) if you dont eat alot...simple salad and maybe some Italian bread..

I wonder if working on the farm on f/b will count as exercise here on mfp?????

That had to been awful hard for you to share that with total strangers, but that my friend is the best way to heal. God only hands us things that he knows we can handle, it is what makes us who we are. I am a firm believer of that. Many years ago I to had a horrible experience, luckily i had my daughter to take care of or…

I love to eat..

I love putting tomatoes, garlic, onion and zucchini both yellow and green in a crop pot and cook for around 4 hours...You can add other things too with them..That is my favorite..

I will be in Schaghticoke in April if you wanna wait awhile. Im originally from Port Jervis but moved to warmer weather in Florida.

I am 5'9" and would like to be at 180. I was actually down to 170 and the Dr. told me not to lose anymore I was too thin. I have been heavy my entire life so when I did get that low I had alot of extra skin, so who know really how much the extra skin weighed? I would be happy in a size 12 and look good in them..

I am 5'9" it use to really bother me but really dont care anymore. It certainly helps with the weight. Nobody ever guesses that you weigh as much as you do...:laugh:

Worse thing said to me was at a chiropractors office and the dr. said its like putting 2 tons in a 2 ton truck....needless to say I never went back....and yet another was you could be so pretty if you werent so fat...Im glad to say the person that said that is twice my size now...just like they say what goes around comes…

Any diet will work if you eat healthy and exercise and you dont even have to wear pink across your butt :)

I am startng again on my journey to eating healthier. I am 53, right now my goal is 30 lbs, I could easily stand to lose 60 lbs but I'll worry about the next 30 later...I would love to help and also always need support from other...thanks

I used the 97% ground turkey meat, chopped onion and green peppers a few cloves of chopped garlic, and pepper, make them into patties. Put alittle olive oil or spray a frying pan with pam. Brown burgers on both sides then I add fat free canned beef gravy and simmer for around ten minutes.. I love to make them and have the…

Okay a blast from the past but I love it...richard simmons..nobody better boooo me either:laugh:

Another way to lower the calorie count on this dish is to switch out a couple layers of the noddles with eggplant...yummmmmmmm

thats too funny...Hope George likes it between 2 slices of bread:laugh:

Baby powder or corn starch..

Get your husband to work a second job on the weekend.:laugh: Only kidding. Do you cook different meals? I know its hard sometimes, my husband doesnt like half the stuff I do. I sometimes cook what he likes and I just have something thats healthy for me. Not that my husband doesnt need it too but there are things he just…

i marinate them in fat free italian dressing and cook them on the grill or foreman grill, then I put them on top of a salad...or better yet throw them in a crock pot with salsa ....yummmmmmm

born in Port Jervis, NY. Moved to Shelbyville Tn. for 3 years Now living in Ocala Fl.......................love it

wow never thought of using the slaw in a recipe.........yummy

I chop chicken, onion, celery and pepper instead of using mayo I use light ranch dressing...

Good luck with your surgery, with your positive attitude Im sure you will go thru it with flying colors. I would not worry to much about the 15 lbs you gained until after your surgery. You have enough on your plate. Worrying about the gain is only adding stress ...again good luck Im sure everyone on mfp will be praying for…

From one fat n un fit 52 to another.lol....Welcome. this is a great site. You will find lots of people here to help you..

Do what ever makes you feel better..after all its all about you.....................good luck

whole wheat pizza with turkey sausage, onions and green peppers. It was delicious

Worse comes to worse you could shovel snow. Im sure that would burn alot of calories...Have a snow ball fight while your at it.

I personally feel that a day off this soon is to quick. Go out to eat and have what you want but only eat half of whats on your plate. You can still eat what you want but dont over do it. For myself I have in the past always said one day wont hurt me then one day turns in to two and so on and so on. It is so hard to get…

Im 5'9" my lowest goal would be around 175. A few years back I went from 265 to 173 and the doctor actually told me I was to thin...Never heard those words ever in my life. I got into size 8 jeans. I personally dont think I look bad in a size 12 of course Im also 52 so I have different standards than the younger group. I…
