sugar free strawberry jello with fresh or frozen (not the kind with syrup) strawberries - After it chills and right before you eat, mix in low fat cool whip and stir until everything is mixed well. I put some strawberry halves on top for 'decoration'. Friends and family love it and I don't have to tell them it's fairly…

192.2 this week. Hope everyone had a good week!

Sounds Great! thanks!!

My max is 1500 for sodium, but I try to stay under 1000 if possible. I always have my eyes open for low sodium snacks and foods. (My low sodium is for my kidney stones, though. My doctor also wants me to stay around 80mg of calcium a day also.) As a side note, I hit my first large goal of 50 pounds lost today. 50 pounds in…

My adult children are 28, 26 and 25... The 26 year old and her husband and two kids lived with us for 5 1/2 year saving up for a home of their own. Most of the time my daughter was going to college to get her degree. Last September after graduating in December, they moved out when they purchased their own home. I…

193.2 this morning. Under calories every day this week and worked out on treadmill or in pool for 6 days. Sunday was off, but still walked my 10,000 steps.

The best part about drinking lots of water for me is my skin is so much softer than it used to be.

^^^^^^ This And now I'm going to spend an hour walking on the treadmill.

Go Red WIngs!! We had to move to Dallas in order to see them play.

195 today... Hope everyone had a good week!

It's all about maturity and trust - I have an adult niece who is deaf and has the capacity of a 13 year old. My mother-in-law arranged for her to get a cell phone so she could text with family and friends out of state. Unbeknownst to my MIL, my niece downloaded several hundred songs over a few week period. (Remember, she…

I absolutely love mine. My only issues are user oriented. I forget to charge it. When I remember to charge it, I forget it's on the charger. And last but not least I forgot to take it off before I got in the pool. But on the upside of that, the customer service at Fitbit is beyond compare and when their solutions (place in…

English seedless cucumbers (at least one a day) almonds baked lays roasted jalapeno pepper

Trick is to read the forum that the post is in... Always good for a laugh... Thanks!

Have a great time!

Peter, I'm not sure where you run in Lewisville, but if on your runs, you see an obese older man with a long grey pony tail and an obese woman on their bikes, that will be me and my husband. Then again, my husband also rides his bike with my adult children. (I maybe go 1-2 times a week and he goes several.) Keep up the…

I made it to onederland on Saturday and I was 198 this morning! To be honest, I didn't remember the challenges last week. I need to post them on my computer so I can remember what they are and DO THEM!. I did get fruits and veggies, but not always at each meal. Didn't remember to focus on a neglected body part... (unless…

That happened to me with my third child (25 years ago). I'd just a diet where you go in and pay and take supplements and get about 800 calories a day. I'd lost about 10 pounds (needed to lose 40). Then my husband flew in for the weekend and my parents watched the two toddlers and we spent the night at the same hotel we…

bump so I don't have to hunt in the morning for the new posting. Hope everyone had a great week!! :flowerforyou:

I'm 5' 3 1/2" (Formerly 5'4 1/2"). I started out at just under 243 pounds on May 8th and since then I've logged everything I have eaten and my exercise. I've lost a total of 44 pounds as of last Saturday. I think the fact that I am drinking lots of water and watching my sodium closely has helped immensely. I'm not sure…

You look a lot better in your bikini than many of the people I see at our local pool. I'm glad that you aren't letting those two get you down. I tend to wear tighter clothes, mainly because I am continuing to lose weight and If I don't start wearing clothes as soon as they can be buttoned/zipped, then they will probably be…

sounds delicious!! I just put the bananas in the freezer, can't wait!

205 this week.. was an up and down week, I imagine the gains were water weight since I am not over on calories at all, but it still takes time to go back down.

I'm lucky, the majority of my office is health conscious and they don't normally bring in treats. My boss is the one who introduced me to MFP and I couldn't be more thankful. I bring in food from home for breakfast and lunch and if the office goes out I stick to salad with dressing on the side unless we go to a restaurant…

You might be taking in too much sodium also. I suggest you add sodium to the macros you are tracking and see if that is the case. Too much sodium retains water as well as being bad for your kidneys and causing high blood pressure. I'd see your doctor and discuss the issues you are having with him/her. Good Luck!!

Me with my Grandsons and their cousin on the train in Grapevine Texas. This was the last day of our Staycation in June of this year.

I'm on a low sodium diet of 1,500 mg per day. Which means I can't eat anything from a can/box/freezer unless it has no sodium added. I've cut out red meats and stick to fish, chicken and turkey, but you have to be careful because they add a sodium solution to chicken and turkey to make it stay fresher longer. Even some…

bump & thanks!
