Like I said, I know my sodium is high and I'm definitely working on it....but it's still a lot less than I've had in the past..and I never drank water before 2 weeks ago!! I drink at least a half a gallon of water a day, usually way more... Thanks for the input everyone!

Truvia is a sugar substitute, like Splenda....it's all natural :)

I made pumpkin muffins earlier this evening! Here is the recipe I used http://darcibean.blogspot.com/2010/10/recipe-low-calorie-pumpkin-muffins.html (that's on my blog) Ingredients: 1 Spice Cake Box Mix 1 can of 15 oz Pumpkin (NOT pumpkin mix, but just pure pumpkin) 2/3 cup of water 1 medium egg 1 egg white Directions: 1.…

How exciting for such a great turnout!!! Good luck everyone, I'm so motivated to do this!!

Hi ladies, I'm new to this thread, I see my friend Amanda already jumped in as well :) I am currently TTC and we are on our 5th cycle. I have endometriosis with a family history of PCOS. I want to lose weight while on the journey of TTC so I can be healthier and more fit. I plan on keeping track of my calories while…

I'm in!! I'm actually hoping to lose 26lbs by Christmas and be at 200!!

Hi Tam, I'm so glad you joined MFP!!! There are a bunch of forums on here that I'm sure could help you out with your questions!! I'm trying to look for you too and will message you when I find something. If you have any general questions just ask me :)

I would strain it with a small strainer into another jar.

I've added a couple recipes in this recipe forum for the crockpot, and there are quite a few recipes if you go back a few pages as well. You will love the crockpot though, I LOVE it!

I use the wii fit as well almost every single day. I only enter my weight about every 3 days or so on MFP! One day this week I gained 1.1lbs and I didn't enter it. I say do it once or twice a week, or as you lose weight.

Wow, that's f'n awesome...lol THANKS!

I just realized I posted this in "recipes" oops!! Yeah I have drank a lot of water today already...thanks!

I don't have NI, but this is really good. Cook up some onion and mushrooms along with spinach in some olive oil and garlic, toss in some cooked chicken cubes. Make a small roux with some flour, add some milk and chicken broth for a little sauce and toss with whole grain pasta. I just eyeball the liquids just to make enough…

Thanks, I do charting already along with other things :) Thanks so much for the encouraging words and thoughts everyone, it's good to know I'm not crazy!

I recently started MFP so I do not have a scale yet, but it's on my list of things to get. I do however measure out anything as much as I can like cereal, milk, butter, condiments, anything I can measure with a measuring cup or spoons, I do it. Everything else I kind of eyeball, but I try not to shoot high...I go a little…

Same thing here, but I have a feeling for me it's a withdrawal from soda/caffeine. I was drinking regular soda, about 2 a day, and I just stopped completely. I drink a ton of water and get pretty bad headaches too. I end up taking excedrin because I can't take the pain anymore.

Thanks for all the help everyone!! I am a stay at home mom, so I think I might just share an apple or banana with my 2 year old for a start! I am going to look at carnation instant breakfast when I go to the store, but I thought it was pretty high in calories?

It's not that I don't want to at all....I feel like I am going to throw up when I fix something...I'm looking for help here

Wow you look great!!! What a difference :) Keep it going and congrats on getting halfway!!

I just started this tonight, and I had to rest a couple times through, but I pushed and kept doing it. My legs felt like jello afterward, I am going to be SO sore tomorrow!! I'm on Level 1.

I just use the frozen chicken breasts in a bag and put 3 large pieces in, if I have smaller chicken breasts I will put in more. If it helps, I would say about 3/4-1lb of chicken. That's enough for my husband, daughter, and I as well as some leftovers.

Wow!! You look amazing!!!! Congrats, what a milestone!

My husband and I have been eating a lot less calories. I am eating 1200 calories a day and I have lost 5.1 lbs in a week, my hubby lost 10.1 lbs! I can only wish it keeps going like this, but I'm sure it won't! Keep up the good work!

I am sure you could, it was really good!!!

Applebees have a few selections that are pretty healthy, they list them right on there menu with the amount of calories.

Ok great, thanks for the information!!!!! :) So exercising DOES have perks than just toning up!!! :)

Wow, you look great, you can really tell in your face!
