LOL OK I ate my 2 fig newtons and I'm still under!!!!! I'm not going to go for a year without eating any cookies like I did last time I was on a diet. I want to be sustainable.

Perhaps you ought to call her about it tomorrow and have a talk? Food says love for alot of people. You could tell her to bring fruit or something else healthy for the kids. Oatmeal cookies are pretty good. Oh well, I need to go hunt down my cookie.

As a teacher, I can tell you that the food served in school is pretty gross. But the real problem with school food is that kids never eat the vegetables offered with their entree and instead they buy cookies and chips to add to their slice of pizza, and sometimes juice. They eat so wretchedly! Parents don't always know…

What mayo did you find? I would love to know!!!

Yes you can control yourself. . . You lost 78 pounds . . ..that takes some amazing control! Congratulations! Ruth

LOL That is what I thought she meant because we were talking about that earlier !!!!

Just eat one cookie! You can't go through life never eating another one. That is not reasonable. In fact, I may just go have one right now, if I can find one. You could have one cookie every day and still work it into your calories. Abstinence is not the answer. Staying under while finding balance with things you view as…

You just need a big fat hug. You should call your mother right now, or a relative or friend you can count on or relate to you. You are going through so much stress. It is leading to depression. Go look at your med books. It is hard to see clearly when you are in its grips. Depression is a lack of enjoyment in every day…

Even a diabetic must consume 130 g of carb a day minimum. Try getting in two fruits a day, see if that helps, then add some crackers to your peanut butter, but if you don't get your carbs up, you're going to get sick. Your blood sugar will get too low and your brain will not be able to function. If this happens, eat a…

Having oatmeal alone for breakfast is like eating two pieces of toast. It's not complete. Add a link of sausage or a serving of cheese or a hardboiled egg, then you have a balanced meal that will hold you until lunch. And don't eat that instant oatmeal . . . too many calories for the sugar. I like 20 calorie syrup the…

Bread is not the problem. It's peanuts (I know, I love them as much as you do but I am reformed). And lack of fruits and veggies. Try to get five fruits and veggies a day (2 fruits, 2 veggies, 1 salad) and eat as much whole grain bread you want. Limit peanuts and peanut butter to one serving. Peanut butter on bread is…

Try the 5:30 rule a weight loss pro posted here before .. . . five fruits and vegetables minimum . . . . . You are pretty short, so I think your calories are about right, just don't get it lower than 1200. You could try 1200 for a week or so. . . . although that's not a whole lot, believe it or not, that's how much people…

OMG I need a mistplaced Texan sticker too.

String cheese, yogurt, peanuts, dates, figs. . . sort of caloric, I know. . . . but all good for you.

Order the healthy choice portions and enjoy your time with them. Ask for a bite of something. If they want you to split a dessert with them, just have a bite (they'll eat the rest). Just try not to stick out. There are some very good suggestions here. . . it does help to look ahead of time. Many places to have healthy…

I love MFP and the freedom to eat whatever I want, not something made by Weight Watchers or Nutrisystem out of a pathetic box. I know how to cook and like to enjoy my cooking. Loving this diet ! Welcome !!!

Bolthouse Farms Yogurt based dressings - 35 calories a serving, several flavors, delicious. Walden Farms 0 calorie dressings. . . mix them with any dressing you like to cut the calories in half. Great diet tools.

LOL !

MMM! Yum, great way to get in an extra egg is to have a mug cake. I had a chocolate mug cake last night, and I tried a pumpkin mug cake this afternoon for snack. Ruth

You seem to be eating really well. I am hungry for some of those yummy nutritious things. I guess if I worked out more, I could eat as much as you do. I have to avoid fat in order to eat as much as I do. There doesn't seem to be anything wrong with what you are doing, but take a look at the kinds of fat you are getting.…

Yum I added 1 T flour and 6 chocolate chips. Used yogurt instead of the milk. 30 seconds and it was done, still moist in the center like a molten chocolate cake. Thank you. . . .I love the soufflé-like texture!!!!

Drinking alot of beer and eating alot of meat and being a man (unfortunately, a gene for inclination to gout is produced in the testes of some men) are a good way to get gout, especially when you get into your forties. You will not even know it, but hyperuricemia could have been building up. So glad for you that you are…

some water not some what

You're eating really well, much better than some other young ladies, good job. You get a good amount of sodium so having more probably won't help. Your blood pressure is too low, so you will need to see your doctor. Drink some what to increase your blood volume, with something salty. Has your doctor checked your vitamin D?…

I gained five pounds nearly overnight because I had nearly 4 grams of salt in a day. Without using a salt shaker. It should go as quickly as it came.

Read a few articles about kidney failure and dialysis . . . should be inspiring

LOL maybe once a month !!!! But my breakfast or lunch have fewer calories than that. I'm so past this. Not that I wouldn't eat it if you sat it in front of me. I just wouldn't go hunt one down at the DQ. I might have a diet rootbeer float instead.

Somewhere in there, LOL

You're probably showing a bit too much in this picture, not that it's not pretty. It would be fine for a date or party, (NOT for a family party) when you want to look really sexy. Do you really want to look sexy anytime, anywhere, for everyone? When you go to get ice cream, you never know who you will run into. If you…

oh jeeze, you would bump this when I am having late night cravings! Sound awesome!!!!
