  • Running late this morning and skipped breakfast which I almost never do. Family picnic lunch with all the fixins. Fried chicken (yes, i ate the skin!) deviled eggs and small portions of baked beans, potato salad, macaroni salad and bread. Oh and we had those really yummy soft sugar cookies with frosting on them. Mother in…
  • You look great. I don't think anyone will disagree with that. I also find the photos inspirational. That goes for any weight loss photos, not just post baby weight photos. I get what you were saying in your original post but I can also see how others may have taken your words and not found them helpful. We all interpret…
  • Cake.... chocolate, vanilla, lemon, strawberry. Doesn't matter what flavor. I love them all, especially if its from the publix bakery!
  • ^^That's what i do :)
  • Luna bars are my favorite. Also the Adkins milk chocolate shake is 160 cals and really good. I have one every morning.
  • I reached out for support last week and was super surprised at the HUGE response I got. This site is amazing! Sending you a friend request :)
  • Goodwill and clearance! Yesterday I got 3 pairs of pants, 7 shirts and a really cute sweater for less than $50. Two of the shirts are a little smaller than I care for so I am using them as motivation :)
  • Far from a control freak . When I said it to him it was in a joking manner and he took it as such. I never said he couldn't eat what he wants. Nobody has that much control over what someone puts in their mouth. I simply want him to be a little more aware of what he is bringing into the house. Food is almost like a drug for…
  • Thank you all for your comments. I understand that it lies in my hands and that i need to avoid temptation. And yes, I am well aware that there will always be temptation. I just want to limit it in my own house. I am not saying he can't eat what he wants but he could at least hide it before I get home! He has always bought…
  • Ranch turkey burgers are amazing. Only problem is they are high in sodium if you watch that. Just mix a packet of dry ranch dressing mix in with your ground turkey and cook as you would a hamburger. They are so flavorful that I can eat them without a bun or condiments and be satisfied. Kid friendly too!
  • If everyone is jumping on board then pose a challenge to them...Everyone has to bring one healthy dish. You will get to eat healthy, everyone will have brought something they will like and you will get to try new things!
  • First off let me say HOOYAH to our Navy Seals!!! They risked (and continue to risk) their lives to protect our country. Am I glad that OBL is dead? Well I will not lose any sleep. I still cry every time I see footage from 9/11 and HE was to blame. Should Obama take credit for this and be re-elected for this? heck no! he…

  • Also, its very easy to set up and use. This is the model that my trainer recommended.

  • I have that model and LOVE it! Will never workout without it again! In fact two of my workout buddies have one and we always seem to have consistent readings. Buy one, you will be glad you did!

  • The honesty of a child did it for me. I was out with my daughter trying on clothes and we were in the dressing room. I was in between outfits so I had on nothing but my bra and panties and my daughter turned around looked me up and down and said, "mommy, that is NOT pretty." Yep, that did it for me alright.
  • I have always found this calculator to be very useful. Hope it helps! http://www.freedieting.com/tools/nutrient_calculator.htm

  • Hello my name is Diana and I am an MFP addict..lol What is Facebook??? LMAO....MFP is bookmarked on the toolbar on my laptop AND my computer at work....oh and lets not forget the android app!
  • Compliment for sure! I'm in the same boat but refuse to buy more clothes right now. For the moment my belt is my best friend! Keep up the great work!!
  • The game will not track your calories but if you have a heart rate monitor you can try Just Dance. Its a great workout!
  • I weighted in at 226.6 this morning. Up two ounces. My mother in law was here for a week visiting and insisted that we eat out EVERY MEAL this last week. Surprised I didn't have a big gain. Oh well, she is gone and its now time to hit it hard!
  • We were just looking at the same post. I agree with you. She was way over the top. That said, I love MFP and the help I do find!
  • I am about to start it too! Have you downloaded the podcast that go with each week? I think they will be very helpful!

  • @ashers- can I suggest totaling our weight at the bottom for each week? It will be awesome to see how much weight we lose as a group as well!
  • Interesting! I love cucumbers so much. Slice um up and lightly salt them= awesome afternoon snack!!
