It's hard to get a HUSBAND to eat veggies too! I've found a mashed cauliflower works great for mashed potatoes! For lasagna, make a meatless one, with some veggies (broccoli, etc) instead. It's about consistency of the food! I've also had miracle or super noodles that replace pasta. It's made from veggies!

Oh hell yes! Very demented & strange! So is my humor. Anyone can feel free to add me also! This could be fun!:laugh:

I have 8 cats. I work in a veterinary hospital to support them. No kids, just a husband. :tongue: Maya and Autumn will be 14 years old in the spring. They are not related, but came to the vet hosp. as injured stray kittens shortly after my old kitty, Yowser, passed away. Around Christmas that same year, a friend gave me…

Stop buying 'BAD STUFF'. You and your family don't need it. If you need to, start slow. It will be easier to get your kids into healthy eating habits NOW, rather than waiting for a problem. I hope I'm being blunt, not mean. I have a coworker (obese) who brought her OBESE 8 year old to work this week. In a single sitting,…

I'm at a plateau myself. Unfortunately, it COULD be because I've been going over my calories lately. As for wanting to lose 2 pounds in a day...I DO NOT recommend any type of water pill! A coworker of mine tried that and had severe muscle cramps for weeks because of it. I'd eat food with lots of fiber, and drink plenty of…

I'm 5'9" feel free to add me. :)

That is fantastic!!! I love it! Good luck with your goal. :happy:

I'm still about 12-13 pounds away from my goal. I'm thinking about changing it also. First goal first, then I'll see. When in doubt, ask your doctor at your next visit, if your weight is ok. My doctor had no problem telling me when I gained weight. ;)

My musical tastes are eclectic! I LOVE Trans-Siberian Orchestra, they have rocking tunes, mostly holiday. I made a playlist for working in the yard (my therapy and exercise) that consists of Linkin Park " Living Things", Muse "The Resistance", The Who "Quadrophenia", Savatage "Dead Winter Dead" , Guns & Roses "November…

I'm going to a party, and will probably have too many finger foods & cake, ;)

make sure it works before you haul it in.

I'd take it up with the kid's DOCTOR! If the child isn't obese, the nurse needs to be informed, or go work somewhere else.

A little too thin in the middle picture, not very healthy looking at all.

I'm also 5'9", and my goal weight is 150. I'm currently 163. I'm getting there, slowly! Anyone is welcome to add me as a friend. :flowerforyou:

I'm going to do my best to track everything! I know I'm going to be way over my goal. That doesn't bother me. :drinker:

OMG! You look AMAZING! If I were you, I wouldn't be scared at all, just excited to see him. I'm sure he'll be thrilled to see you too as soon as he's home. You only lost weight, you didn't lose YOU! :happy:

I've had bouts of leg cramps. So painful!! My Aunt swears by tonic water with quinine. I tried it, and hated the taste of the tonic water. I found pills at a health food store called Leg Cramps with Quinine. They're chalky with a little sweet that dissolve in your mouth (as needed). I think they work for me pretty well!…

Hi there! I'm 5'9" and am currently 163-165 depending on the day. My goal is 150. (I have a big belly, and thighs). Hope it helps. Good luck getting to your goal!

thanks for that! I always screw it up. Now choose and chose?

The best part of a muffin is the top! LOL. It's smaller, but still there.

I tried twice to have someone clean the house. Both were a disaster! The first one was a pet sitting/house cleaning service. The second she came into the house, she said cats freak her out. (Strike 1) She cleaned pretty well, got some things that I usually ignore (like cabinets in the pantry), but didn't clean as well as I…

I'm a firm believer in a win/win situation. I choose to do my "work outs" at my parent's yard. Raking, etc. This has been especially useful after Hurricane Sandy hit our area, lots of tree damage. I burn calories, they get their yard clean. (They're elderly, and need the help). I also will "work out" by cleaning the house.…

I've had friends who firmly believe in "sweating out the toxins". That's fine if you can do it. I firmly believe in sitting on the couch with soft tissues, warm blankets, and comfort foods. I love using a netti pot when my sinuses aren't fully clogged. Do what's best for you. Feel better! Lots of fluids! :drinker:

Have you tried working with your dreams? That's very important! NOT the dream dictionaries that tell you what dream symbols mean, those are garbage! Robert Moss has written excellent books about working out your dreams. I attended 2 of his workshops, and "Making Death Your Ally" was EXCELLENT for clearing out some mental…

Hey! Don't be so hard on yourself!! :noway: Look at your ticker! 53 pounds lost!? That's amazing! You're not the same person, you're less! That's something to be proud of!! I'm sure you FEEL better, more energy, right? Don't let one get-together get you down. You're still a work in progress. Don't feel bad about not being…

Don't be too hard on yourself! Quitting smoking is something to be proud of! Somewhere out there is an app or website that tells you how much money you save, how much life you gain, and how long you quit smoking. My friend used it, and used to post his stats on Facebook, until he'd been smoke free for over a year. Good…

I'm 41, and have lost 30 pounds, since May. (15 more to my goal) :happy: My neighbor noticed, but no one else. I wear scrubs or jeans & a sweatshirt, so nothing to really show off anything. I don't know how much better I LOOK, but I certainly FEEL better! :tongue: It's WAY easier to put weight on than to take it off. Feel…

I'm in the same boat. I like to have daily support. Feel free to add me.

Welcome to MFP! Feel free to add me. :flowerforyou:

That sucks. :( Is it fully charged before you go? Are there some settings you can adjust to make battery last longer? I'm told having screen brightness set high can shorten battery life. Good luck. :)
