I've never made a fake pecan pie with pretzels, but at least 30 years ago (I remember because I made it when I lived in my first apartment) the in thing was a fake pecan pie made with oatmeal. Here is a recipe I found by googling (still has all the fattening/sweet ingredients). Probably not the exact recipe but close, and…

I found this somewhere, maybe on here, wrote it down to try; but I haven't done it yet. WW Wendy's Frosty 8 ounces skim milk 1 tablespoon sugar-free, fat-free chocolate pudding mix 8-10 ice cubes 2 tablespoons fat-free Cool Whip 1 teaspoon vanilla Mix in blender til ice cubes are crushed and it's consistency of a milkshake.

Maybe this will help me. I just raided the PB jar; infact, I had PB on two slices of WW bread. And I followed that with 2 oreos! Geez, I just blew it, but it sure was good!!!!

was a bad boy just now I had a few Oreos, they're just so good, one the chocolate goodness hits your palate, you can't stop. I'm going to sue Nabisco for putting crack in their cookies. DAMN YOU NABISCO!!!!! Funny you should post that. DH bought two packages of Oreos yesterday (chocolate and vanilla double filling) and I…

When she told me the recipe, I asked her to repeat it so I could write it down. I'm 99.9 percent sure it was fruit on bottom, sprinkle with dry cake mix, pour on 7Up or sprite, bake.

1 Tbs. peanut butter on whole wheat bread. Some days I add half a banana and/or 4 oz. of OJ.

I second the Leslie Sansone walking and/or exercise tapes.

SW in September--170 SW in June--157 Last week--154.5 CW--155 But I was on vacation last week, and the week before that my aerobics instructor was on break, so it was a good excuse not to workout as much. After all I ate and without much exercise, I guess I should be happy. Kind of on a plateau, though. ugh But several…

154.5 Was 154 last week, but not too bad since I blew it last weekend and only did Curves once this week, and that was it for exercising. Once I miss a couple of days working out, it's hard for me to get back to it, but I did do a 40-minute exercise tape today.

I just looked at a can of OJ, and the only ingredient is OJ concentrate. It did have 24g of sugar, but it's natural sugar, not added sugar. I know it's still sugar and a carb, but it's naturally in the juice..

Well, if it had been a snake it would have bit me! This is only the second time I've ever looked at a profile, so I just didn't notice it. I think some other website has pics over to the right, Maybe that's what I was looking for. Anyway, thanks for helping me out. And, you do look much thinner than your sister. My sister…

Am I missing something? I don't see a picture of the two of you anywhere. I clicked on your name, and nothing comes up. Just you and the baby.

I'm still at 154, no loss this week. However, I am pleased with that as I had a big weekend, company, etc. I ate way more than I normally do (such as fresh peach cobbler) and didn't exercise for 3 days. So I am excited to have held steady without gaining. Today is a new start, so it's back to exercising and tracking my…

Good for you! I, too, resisted temptation last night about midnight and again this afternoon about 3. I wasn't going to post, but you made me think of it. I was soooo close to having pb on wheat bread about midnight; and then this afternoon after I had cooked and cleaned in the kitchen and sat down to rest, I was again…

Curves protein powder makes a good chocolate shake.

layered salad of lettuce, onion, celery, frozen green peas, chicken, low-fat shredded cheddar cheese topped with lowfat Hellman's canola mayo. I'll try not to eat a whole sleeve of crackers with it.

I second the exercise tapes/dvds. I really like walking 2-3 miles with Leslie Sansone. Or you may need more strenuous ones like the 30-day shred. Either way, it's nice to do it whenever I want to by myself and under my ceiling fan with the AC on 65. lol I do that on days I'm too lazy or it's too hot to venture out to…

Any way to work in a Leslie Sansone dvd for a 15-minute one-mile walk at your desk?

I've lost only 16 pounds (for us old people, it is SO sloooowww!) since September. I started MFP the first of June and have lost 2-3 pounds at the most. And only this past week several people have told me I was getting skinny. So it may take a while, so hang in there. It's a great feeling when someone does notice. You'll…

I was pumped this morning to note I was down to 154, a one-pound loss. Alas, when I looked on my reports, I realized I was 154 the last two weeks, albeit not on Mondays. I just logged it when I thought I had lost something, I guess. But I've wobbled from155 up to 156 all week which is why I thought 154 was a new low. Was…

So I weigh 155 and am a size 12. What gives? I guess it's height and body frame size? I read all the time about people who weigh lots more than I do and yet wear much smaller sizes. It's frustrating.

I'm right there with you, only I'm 58. It's taken since September to lose 15, and now it's even slower.... Maybe by Christmas if I'm lucky. Hang in there. I know how you feel!!

I'm jealous. Our Curves doesn't have the new machines. I have no idea how many calories I burn there.

I found this site and joined May 31, a Sunday, so technically I really started on Monday, June 1. Hope that qualifies me. I'm 58, am "suffering" through empty nest syndrome as the last of my two kids graduated college and moved away. I'm also not working at the moment, so losing weight is my new focus and "job." Although I…

I have read or glanced over, I should say, that diet plan in their book. But they've never had a free class on it that I know of. We have new owners now, so maybe they will do it. That would be good.

I've recently check out Linda Sansone's walking dvd's from the library and know that theywon't work with your foot problem; however, as I perused the shelves, there were several sit-down aerobic tapes/dvds. Not sure if they're too easy or not. MIght be an option.

I've gone to Curves for 4 years and never took their class. But it was never free at my Curves; otherwise, I'm sure I would have It was like $60. Is that a choice of the indiividual owners?

Someone one mentioned FIT tv. I've recorded a couple of workouts and did one or two when I couldn't leave the house. Do any of you have any favorites? Someone mentioned the Shred being on their TV. That's not on FIT tv, is it?

I take an aerobics class two nights a week where we do cardio/step, handweights, lost of scrunches, lunges, etc. I've read here and elsewhere one should skip a day between strength training. So it's ok to do the shred without resting inbetween days? I looked at Level 1 and parts of Level 2 and we already do a lot of that…
