thank you all for your help with this.. I have been doing searches for something that comes close to what I had.. I emailed every friend I know who had the recipe and no luck. I will try the ones posted here. that butternut squash curry really sounds yummy. I love the smell of curry and the taste. my daughter will be…

as a gourmet cook I have made many pizza in my time. I have never seen a recipe anywhere for pizza dough that didn't contain yeast. the thickness and texture of the crust is dependent on how they prepare it and how thin or thick they roll or toss it. the thicker crusts are allowed to rise and the thin crust is baked before…

I can't see hand tossed having less calories than thin crust.. there is more bread so it makes sense that it would have more carbs and calories. I know this site has some dominos pizzas on here. but not sure how accurate the calorie count is.

that sounds really good. I would switch the pasta for a whole wheat pasta and the frozen spinach for fresh cut into ribbons. I will have to make that while my daughter is in town but will have to leave the chicken out because she is vegetarian. thanks for sharing.

if you can't access my blog and want the recipe send me a friend request. I accept them all.

I love progresso's tomato basil (reduced sodium) so yummy

I used to have one small patch on my elbow. it drove me nuts for many many years. as crazy as this sounds after going to a natural hot spring with my hubby up in wyoming it went away. the water was really heavy with sulfur. don't know if that had anything to do with it or not but I am not complaining about it being gone.…

I just found it and posted it on my blog. feel free to check it out.

Namaste basically means the devine in me honors the devine in you. (not worded exactly right) I think that when we do really well people come out of the woodwork like cockroaches with unwanted and unneeded advice in part because they are jealous that you are doing something for you. and that something brings the focus onto…

ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME????? can we tell a difference??? a blind man could see the difference. you look fabulous and are doing incredible. thanks for the inspiration.

I have been making that for years.... the problem I have is self control. if it is there.... I will eat it. I can't seem to tell myself no. so I save that for when we have company. (rootbeer in red velvet is interesting) my husband doesn't really eat sweets except on a rare occasion. so making a whole cake is way too much…

I can only speak for myself. I have been heavy for so long that there is really no exercise I could do to tighten this skin back up. I do have issues with saggy skin and will require a tummy tuck when I lose down to my goal weight. I have discussed this with my doctor and she agreed with me on that. once you blow a balloon…

at my heaviest I was at 387 pounds. I didn't do it in a year but I started mfp at 225 and after one week I am at 222. I made the mistake of losing weight too fast while my husband was in iraq. 90 pounds in one year, I didn't eat but the bare minimum to stay alive and was swimming every day for exercise. as soon as he got…

your wife better keep a close eye on you... you look amazing. you are a great inspiration. keep up the good work.

I think you got house on haunted hill mixed up with thirteen ghosts. I have both the old and new versions of both movies though. have to admit I loved the old ones so much more. not scary just more entertaining because they were not all about the blood and gore and was more about the story.

I just don't think they make scary movies anymore. either that of because of me being a paranormal investigator I just don't scare anymore. I think I am the only person on here so far who thought paranormal activity was one of the dumbest movies ever made. haunting in conecticut was pretty good only because it is based on…

\ they still have sugar in them and they still have calories.. quite a few for one small muffin. but they do sound good. I would try the splenda brown sugar blend to lower the calorie count though.

so very proud of you and happy for your success. keep up the fantastic work

hummus is a fantastic idea. it is one of my fave snacks.. put some on a lightly salted rice cake.. yummmm and hummus comes in so many flavors.

you wouldn't think I would know much about "starvation" mode being as heavy as i am. but while my husband was in iraq I would go days on end without eating. then only eat the minimum then repeat that cycle. needless to say I was not in a good place mentally or emotionally. when he came home he expected me to begin eating…

you look amazing. the difference is incredible. you should be so very proud of your progress.

also in case no one saw it when they signed up this site is not only for weight loss. there was an area for weight gain too.

I have my food diary public and I really don't care who looks at it or what they say about my food intake for the day. when it all boils down they are in their end of the kiddie pool and I am in mine. the two more than likely will never meet. I like looking at other people's food diaries because I get some good ideas on…

I am not vegetarian but my daughter and her boyfriend are and they are coming to visit in a couple weeks. I try to eat what they eat when they are around. thanks for posting that it sound really good.

no clue here but you could try it at home and maybe cut the recipe in half for a trial run.

my advice is stick with it here on mfp. if your family doesn't want to eat better then let them do what they want and you keep your own special foods for yourself (if that is possible) you can't force them to do it with you and you can only really do it for yourself. with your health issues try talking to your doctor and…

if you have a small soft cooler you could always pack fresh veggies and fruit or a salad. toss in some cheese and a boiled egg and you could have a fantastic lunch.

hummus is one of my favorite snacks. (don't know why I haven't made any lately) I am so glad to see someone else bring it up too.

the only advice I could give you is to have your doctor refer you to a specialist who deals in sports injuries. I am not a runner and never really have been but I know what it is like to be told you have to give up something you love so much.

exactly action jackson. a lot of people don't realize that if you don't eat enough calories in the day your body will go into starvation mode and hold on to the fat. glad you got it figured out now.
