I have used it in my yogurt almost tastes like a pudding. YUM! You also do not get gummy peanutbutter utensils in dishwasher, by using this and less smell also.

I purchase mine at a health food store, I use Gold top organics. Enjoy!

I too have recently been giving it extra thought and am declining new friends, as not enough time to keep up with all friends posts. I have about 30 or so and today thinking it may be a good day, to delete ones I haven't heard from for a few months. I think myself 15 may be a good amount, depending on season and activities.

Here are a few of mine: If you eat in private your hips show it in public. Little baby steps will give me my positive weight loss. Everyday is a new day with no mistakes. Today is another day to do it all over, because today is another chance to get it right. I am not losing weight I am getting rid of it, and have no…

Hi Tanya, I am in my late 50"s (58) I too have tried ww but I have it calculated to a calorie form, without any free veggies and etc. I left for ww for a few months and just recently returned to MFP, as I prefer the diary with MFP, and this time found the points system on ww confusing, as I am constantly thinking in…

You worked hard at your weight loss, and you look totally amazing. You feel good, that is what matters. Hoping your family will accept it in time. I feel so sad that your family has responded this way to you.

Hi! I would enjoy your MFP friendship to motivate us along this weight loss journey together. So feel free to add me as a friend. Eileen

Hi Patty, You can add me as a friend if you wish I am 58 yrs, and love MFP as for me it helps to share my open diary. Eileen

Lizzie, With support you can do it. Add me as your friend so we can support each other. Eileen

Feel free to add me, our stories sound similar with lossing 70 lbs in 2011 and gained 25 lbs back. Eileen

Oh my I just find it so interesting, mainly as she can't recall so much or they think she is a liar. We don't get this channel, and now don't want it as I keep up on it each time I go to gym and bike. So interesting to bike to , as I don't want to stop biking.

Thanks! I agree sometimes we get to many appliances. I will have to give it a try with a blender, and save space. Eileen

That is awesome, and shows it can be done. All the best to you!

Hubby has asked to remove bread almost 2 yrs, as it is a huge problem for him. I also find that I will eat to much bread if it is our home. Having limited bread in our home has been a big help to myself also.

I did ww points plus in 2011 and lost 70 lbs, doing it online only. I came to mfp as needed a change and loved the idea it was free. WW website did have a lot of problems when posting, which annoyed me. I do like mfp better as can track sugar or sodium, or etc., have an open diary all of which ww does not have, and can…

Thanks everyone I tried using a different white sugar, and it now calculated correctly.

I use (GOLD TOP) COCONUT OIL ) We just love to fry our potatoes in it, along with a bit of carrot broth. Eileen

Thanks everyone

I usually just use boiled eggs and then dressing, but this even poached would sure work nicely. Thanks

Thank you everyone, You all really came through for me, and what great info you gave me.

To be mocked and etc by your hubby is so sad. Is he maybe scared that others may be looking at you, even if he is...you should not be treated that way. I feel so sorry for you, am I am so lucky to have lots of support especially by my hubby. Hugs to you

Hi! Very well put. I would not call it cheating, but rather making food choices that maybe were not a real healthy one. I am making this a lifestyle change, so will need to have the treats or selection of different foods for this to continually work for me. A diet for me also means temporary and this for me is a lifestyle…

Oh that is absolutely wonderful. I wish you more continued success. Moments like this nothing feels as wonderful, so enjoy the moments like this.

No not to much....if it was a lot over continually then I think I would. I think we need to allow it, and at the same time, not get back into old habits

Wow! You have done so awesome.

To me the word diet means something temporarily, but mine is a lifestyle change. With that said if we did not eat out or have a treat etc., I don't think we'd learn about portion control or eating out, or etc. If this is something I plan to be on for life, I ask myself could I stick so strictly to the menu with no extra's,…

Mine is open so feel free to add. An open diary is so helpful

I did ww on line (pp) and lost 69 lbs. The last 2-3 months I hit a plateau and felt bored, with it but did not want to quit when I am almost there. MFP is the answer as it is similar except calories instead of pts, and of course it is free, and the data base is so much more than ww. I notice in my time with ww so many…
