Yes, the right person WILL come along...you just have to be open for it AND STOP LOOKING FOR IT...

Sometimes I wonder why I let myself go for so long AND how does my husband stand me? I mean I gained 140 lbs since we've been married :frown:

GIRLS CRY...BOYS LIE!!!

I am SO happy that most everyone has someone they can count on to be supportive in the home. It really helps..and guess what? Hubby said he would join MFP tonight and start watching what he eats with me!!! YAY!!!! Together he and I can do anything...oh yeah, Fashion Bug and Woman Within you can kiss my ... CREDIT CARD…

I know why they tell you not to use your hairdryer while sleeping...people actually take their hairdryer to bed and use it for the 'WHITE NOISE' the hairdryer gets tangled up in the sheets and catches on fire and people have died. SO, after one of those STUPID law suits they have to put it on there now.

Salsa, it's low cal, I use Pace Medium Chunky Salsa- 10 cals for 2 tablespoons!! Lots of flavor for like no calories!

You can always go to www.skinnytaste.com to find really good, healthy recipes! I found Shrimp, Peas and Rice there and that's what we had tonight. Good luck!

Yep, had some sun chips today and I counted out 11 for the serving :o)

What a great way to take charge of your life!!! I have never tried Zumba (I am NOT coordinated) does that matter? Do you think I could still do it? I have over 100 lbs to lose!

BAD DRIVERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! They pass me on a sharp corner, never thinking someone else may be coming in the other direction, putting ALL OF OUR lives at risk, then they take the next turn off...um hello? You couldn't wait 5 seconds? ANNOYING!!

YUM!!! I will try them all!

My husband grew up in a former funeral home. He saw some scary things, I get goose bumps just thinking about the stories he's told me. I personally have never seen one, but you never know!

Oh yeah, the 'snack guy' comes in the other day. You know, with the box of CHIPS and CANDY BARS in it. It's the honor system, you put in a dollar and take what you want. Well, normally the guy hasn't even left the parking lot before I pounce on the 3 Muskateers (spelling?) bar.:love: But you know, eating that crap got me…

When Dorothy says the the Scarecrow 'I think I shall miss you most of all'

WOW, we're supposed to look at their food diary and THEN say something supportive???? I've been doing it all wrong. I just see that an MFP friend has logged for x amount of days, or were @ or under their calories or exercised then I say something encouraging. I don't see what they've eaten. I think we all need to support…

I AM INSPIRED! THANKS FOR PICS! You have done a wonderful job! Be proud of yourself! P.S. Add me as a friend so I can learn from you! I have over 100 lbs to lose and I need all the help I can get :tongue:

I will definitely check out the website! And thanks for the recipe sounds EASY and YUMMY!

WOW! What an accomplishment! I need to lose over 100 lbs and would love to be your MFP friend so I can learn from you! Congratulations!!! You are doing wonderfully. Keep up the good work!!!

Isn't this site great!?! So much support and everyone has been where we are or has tried something that can help. Keep on with the smoothies and here's what I do, once blended, I taste it before I finish in case I need to add a few more strawberries or blueberries or whatever. It's so easy and you know you are getting alot…

I do love to read, so thank you for the suggestions! So I guess I better put down Fifty Shades of Grey and order those books! Thanks again! and what is intuitive eating? NEVER HEARD OF IT

Yeh, that's what I was afraid of. Hopefully if I choose to go I'll get someone that knows what they are doing. But you are so right ALOT of people on MFP have great ideas and are very supportive-something we all need when we are trying to lose weight. I appreciate your honesty!

Thank you so much for the wonderful idea! Gives me something other than bread to eat a sandwich on!

Thank you so much for THAT YUMMY recipe, I certainly will try it soon!

Please add me! I started 2 weeks ago, so I am new too! I love getting tips from all my MFP friends. It really helps to have like- minded people on your side. I have 109+ lbs to lose so I'm gonna be here a while ! :glasses:

WOW, you look great! Keep doing what you are doing!! It's working! I don't have any pics of me...I've only lost 9 lbs. But you have inspired me to do it (even though I hate having my pic taken BECAUSE of my weight). But if I'm going to do this I'm gonna need proof of it for posterity :wink: I have a long way to go, maybe…

You look great! I'd love to have you as an MFP buddy!

I made a 'kale smoothie' yesterday. I used, 1.5 cups of fresh kale, 2 bananas, 2 cups frozen strawberries, splash of oj, 2 tablespoons whole flax meal and one cup of plain, no fat greek yogurt and a few ice cubes. P.S. this made two large servings at just under 300 calories each. Could NOT taste the kale. It was yummy. So…

You both look great, it must have been fun losing the weight together! Any tips for this beginner? I have over 100 lbs to lose.

Thanks for the replies. I think I would benefit from it if only to see if there are some ways to combine food for better results (like carbs with protein etc...) and maybe some ideas on what to do when I want to eat due to being emotional. It's a struggle and right now because I'm in week 2 I still have TONS of will power,…

Hello, I'm 43 and obese. Well, I'm actually morbidly obese and need to lose 114 lbs. If I can do that, I may even try to lose more :o) I love MFP so far! The calorie counter has really helped me keep myself honest. It's hard to believe how many calories are in certain foods! I'm new to the site only 6 days or so, but I…
