Thanks, I have 8 lbs until I reach my goal weight. I plan to start a toning program bf then and will remember the advice. I guess I needed to here that someone else had at least some success with regaining tone.. I don't be any strech of the imagination expect to be tight and tone again, for one thing I'm 49, lol. But I…

Although you may not see it, there is a HUGE difference. When I had lost about 60 lbs. my daughter in law posted bf/to date pics. of me and I told her to be sure and say which was which. She laughed and ask was I serious. I've lost 82 now, and while I do see a big difference I still don't see what others say they see. I…

Thank you all so much for your replies. Im trying to gather as much info as I can so I can make an informed decision.

I have a battery operated scale as well. My house is off the ground and my floors get rather cold. When it does I have the same problem, the battery gets cold and takes a bit bf it warms and give me an accurate reading. I find if I place it in front of the heater it helps keep the battery warm and I have less problems.

Hi, and welcome to MFP.. I just turned 49 started 95 days ago with 90 lbs to loose and have lost 35 lbs. YOU CAN DO IT!!! Feel free to add me if you'd like. :)

Sounds really great, will have to try it. Thanks for sharing

Who are some of the groups you like. Sanctus Real is one of my favorites.

Thanks for sharing, sounds really good.

Oh WOW, that looks wonderful. I have been soooo hungry for pizza but cant find one that is low fat/carb. I will def. try this, thanks for sharing.

They fed me one while I was in the hospital having a little problem with my heart. I had been admitted late in the evening so that is what they servered me instead of a regular meal.

Thank you all for the feedback....I have a free week to try it out. So maybe I can make up my mind by then.

WOW how great is that??? Happy Annirversary and much continued success to you.

Welcome to MFP and Happy New Year....

Well Im not a young mom anymore, but I once was. :) I too had many "friends" while I was a big partier. Then when I was barley 18 yr. old I married and was pg. and began going to church. Within a couple of months I found myself with not one of my old firends around. My husband and mother were my friends. But I quickly…

When I cant can't find the right measurements I use a converter site. http://www.food.com/library/calc.zsp. Not sure if this is what your talking about, but I hope it helps. And by the way welcome to MFP

I'm having the same problem. I'm allowed 1200 cals. a day, I'm also tracking carbs and fat. I almost never, if ever use all my cals. I did have a point where my weight loss slowed way down. I uped my cals. by making myself eat extras (still not meeting my total cal. goal)and my loss picked back up. But like you I hate…

I agree, I never count it and I use it quite a bit.

Thanks for the post, really great tips.

I've been dieting for a little over a month now and have the same problem. I have found that eating nuts, peanut butter and such helps. But I am also counting fats and carbs along with 1200 cals. per day. I have been working at getting it all in balance. One thing I have learned is that it is important to eat as close to…

My plans as well are to enjoy the food but to watch my portions. God Bless and everyone have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
