Yep, this pretty much sums me up. I have really "healthy" days, a few "junky" days, and a lot of the "middle of the road" ones too! My diary is always open and I try to be supportive to all my MFP friends. Feel free to add me!

Rinsing quinoa definitely helps remove that slightly "off" bitter taste. Here are two recipes I really enjoy - Sweet Potato Quinoa Cakes (I don't make the blackberry salsa) - http://www.howsweeteats.com/2012/05/sweet-potato-quinoa-cakes-with-blackberry-salsa/ Strawberry and Walnut Quinoa (a wonderful breakfast or dessert!)…

What an achievement! Congratulations - you're glowing in your current pic! Beautiful!

Feel free to friend me! I love MFP, I've lost 18lbs in a little over 2 months and love giving (and getting) support, encouragement and advice! I'm in the same boat you're in - I love to workout, but love to cook and eat! I'm currently trying to find that balance, while seeking out healthier recipes to indulge my obsession…

I drive a Black Mercedes Benz ML350.... but I kinda wish I could say I drove the car in my profile pic - LOL!
-
Ahh, good challenges!! Looking forward to adding a different type of workout to my routine too. :)

Love, love LOVE my crockpot! Last night we were having family over for dinner and the Bears/Packers game and I made skinnytaste.com Pork Carnitas in the crockpot. Also made the Cilantro Lime Rice, guacamole and tomatillo salsa and put out regular salsa, fat free sour cream, and regular and whole wheat tortillas for those…

I agree! You look fantastic - keep it up!
-
I'd love some more highly motivated MFP friends - who log daily, do their best to eat healthy and work out - and have an overall positive outlook on this process. A sense of humor doesn't hurt either - LOL! If this is you - - please feel free to add me! :)
-
Feel free to add me! I can relate - I have a very energetic little one who's turning 4yo in a couple of weeks. I too work out after 9pm once my husband takes her up for bedtime or while she's at preschool. I workout on my treadmill or do WiiFit. When I'm on the treadmill she likes to cheer me on but then gets bored an goes…

Original SW: 195 Challenge SW: 185 Week 1 Check-in: 182.5 Week 1 Loss = 2.5 lbs! I had a really good week! I've been eating a healthy DASH style diet, staying under cal goal (1 day went slightly over), drinking 8-10 glasses of water, and working out 30-55 min every day. Bring on Challenge Week #2!! :)

After being 29 for 11yrs, I decided to finally turn 40 in April! I joined MFP a little over a month ago and have had great success so far, but would love some more friends in their 40's for support, a similar perspective - - and some laughs! If you're serious about making this decade even better than your 20's - feel free…
-
Exactly! Big time CREEPER!! My husband would kick the s4*t out of any guy friend who made the moves on our daughter once she turned 18yo. And this dude knew her since she was a baby?!? How gross!!

You should be so proud of yourself - you're amazing and an inspiration! Congratulations!

Day 1: Started my day with a fruit smoothie, then tried to bake a healthy cookie recipe to bring to our friends' BBQ. I cook and bake a lot so I knew a homemade treat was expected. They tasted great ,but were too soft/crumbly so I decided not to stress about it and brought turkey dogs with light buns, and keilbasa and…

Hi everyone! My name is Chrissie and I'm really excited to do this 3 month challenge! I joined MFP 31 days ago and hit my 10 lb weight loss goal today. :) I'm planning to lose another 35 lbs, and hope this challenge will get me that much closer to my goal. Once I hit my goal, I'm going to assess where I am, and possibly…

Congratulations! Your commitment to a healthier you has definitely paid off - you look amazing! Thanks for sharing your success story. :)

Assuming I lose no more than .5 lb in the next 4 days - (MFP SW - 195 lb) Challenge SW - 185 lb Challenge GW - 165 lb Let's DO THIS!!!

I really like the recipes I find on these two sites and they have vegetarian recipe collections too - http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes_menus/recipe_slideshows/healthy_vegetarian_crock_pot_recipes_and_healthy_vegetarian_slow_cooker_recipes?slide=1#leaderboardad…

This is my favorite non-mayo tuna recipe - http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/mediterranean_tuna_antipasto_salad_for_two.html I use chickpeas, decrease the olive oil and use chopped kalamata olives instead of capers because I don't like them. Works on it's own or in a whole wheat pita!

I was diagnosed with Hypertension just over 2 weeks ago too (163/96) and put on HCT (Hydrochlorothiazide). Even though it runs in my family on my mother's side, it still came as a shock. I came to this forum and listened to the wonderful advice of "themedalist" regarding sodium to potassium ratios in one's diet, and also…
-
I'm 5'5" and would like to get down to 150lbs.... but wouldn't be mad if another 5lb fell off! LOL!
-
GO BIGDADDY!!! Your enthusiasm and determination is awesome!! Running can be hard on the body - so please be sure you have good running shoes, and check with your doc if you have any issues or concerns along the way. :)
-
Don't worry - you are doing great! You are building muscle mass which weighs more than fat. So you might not see results on the scale, but you will in how your clothes fit. Keep it up - your workout motivation inspires me! As soon as I get the medical green light to work out more - I'm going for it!! BTW - I noticed you…
-
Thanks for the warm welcome, guys! And WTG, themedalist - that's a great reading!! I hope to learn as much as possible about hypertension through the forums and online. My mother, who's a recently retired RN and also has high BP is also a great source of info and support. This week I've been working on my low sodium diet…
-
I was just diagnosed with high BP this week and now am trying to get informed. I had read how potassium affect sodium levels, but this ratio information is so helpful - thank you!!
-
Yep - I just joined this past week! In fact, we used to live in Clifton (where my husband grew up), but moved several years ago. Still in Northern NJ though. Looking for some support on this site too, so feel free to friend me!
