Very inspiring and positive and also a place to get out frustrations and get the support from these lovely people to help you stay on track. Glad to see the familiar folks back as well! I learned…

Good morning all! Well, I didn’t exactly get to my goal but I am happy with the results. I worked hard this week to stay within calories and get my water in. It’s difficult when you are working on getting off pounds that were gained from falling slightly off plan, but when you are my age it gains fast and loses slowly. My…

@aliciap0116 congrats! Love the pedi! Made me tear up! Your steady dedication and advice has been an inspiration to me!

@fitchick37 and @Savannah80 wowzer! Incredible losses for the month! @mmdeveau what a great feeling to be able to put on that black dress! The coat sounds beautiful and comfy! Great job! Sorry for your loss :( @Angelfire365 we used to do taco Tuesdays but got away from it when I started working late on Tuesdays but I miss…

@aliciap0116 I would love the chicken pozole verde and the coconut poached fish with bok choy...I must have missed the post by @sharpdust and @speyerj Turkey Meatloaf Servings 4 calories per serving 192 3 Ingredients Bread Crumbs 30 grams Bread Crumbs Great Value Italian Bread Crumbs (1/3 cup) No Salt Added Diced Tomatoes…

I am not sure how to post a picture...but this is the nutrition for the recipe above. Like I said I add vegetables and 1/4 cup of rice in most cases

I scanned all 4 ingredients with the bar code feature in the MFP app. When you go to add the recipe and search for the ingredient it will be at the top right hand corner. Great Value is the Walmart brand Chicken mushroom gouda calories 200 Matched Ingredients 100% Servings 6 calories per serving 200 4 Ingredients 24 oz…

@aliciap0116 I am a food prep queen! I have to or I get off track. I prep my BF, snacks and lunch and some dinners. Do you use the recipe feature on MFP? I put all of my recipes in there...and that way every time I log, I can just chose that meal if I have made it before. If you get your recipe from a website you can…

Hi there guys! This thread is booming! It's really hard to keep up. For everyone doing the individual replies, more power to you. I can't keep up with everything :D In order to reply to everyone I have to keep going back and forth to see who posted what and with a slow computer it gets to be too much. Anyway, just wanted…

Good afternoon everyone! Wow, if I don’t get on here regularly, I get so behind! Sometimes 40+ new posts…my goodness! I have read all of them but really don’t have time to respond to any of it. Since it’s the weekend, I am going to try and reply to some of you, because I have some input on some of the discussions :)  Any…

Hi all! Doing my weekly weigh-in. I'm on my phone so this is going to be a very short post! I can't type very well and I'm currently talking to text right now 😆 I am going out of town this weekend and I am fully prepared! Still a little bit of anxiety but I really want to enjoy it! We have plans to do a lot of activity!…

Good morning! Just checking in! So many posts! I love all the suggestions and the links and the kudos and everything! Such a great resource when I am feeling anxious about my journey! Exercise has been my "work in progress" this month and I have struggled to get up in the mornings to go to the gym. I am not a morning…

Hi everyone! Welcome all the new posters! The goal setting, exercise accomplishments and the NSVs are inspiring! I had a less than stellar weekend, but reading through your posts helps me stay positive! In addition to my goals I have set, I need to add "to do better on weekends"! Although I didn't go over calories, my…

Happy Sunday everyone! Everyone is doing great! Love the enthusiasm and positivity! This thread has really kept me going. Sorry I haven’t posted much. But I do read it every day. I got out my rusty old laptop so I could post before I go back to work. It is so hard to do on my phone. But it is soooo slow! I may not reply to…

Read this today and resonated with me...this is exactly what I was trying to say earlier :D "IF I am able to really put myself in the mindset of: I’m doing this to be healthy, then there’s really no way to justify fasting or starving myself before or after big events. It doesn’t feel healthy. It doesn’t feel good. It…

@orangequilt thank you. I have been drinking the sparling ICE drinks, 0 everything even sodium...does have splenda in them.

Good morning! Happy Friday! I had a less than stellar week, but somehow I show a loss this week! I am finally out of the 250's , hope I stay there :) I have really been trying to give myself some slack because I found I was really being hard on myself when I gave in to some things lately. And how is that enjoyable? It…

@sharpdust I totally understand, but you can back to it! It's ok to fall off sometimes...it's a struggle to do this everyday and sometimes you need to waller lol. You ARE capable of shedding the weight. It's a hard time of year and every other day I am thinking the same things you are. All we can do is get back to it. The…

@Aerohead21 time of the month :#

And many successes! Keep it up team! @torihudson6 I am in menopause. So no TOM for me…but…

Nice @speyerj! Thank you! That's great you were able to change those numbers! I have read similar things on the fat and sugar. I have always leaned toward higher fat and protein but there are so many opinions, not sure what would work for me. I am going to adjust a bit and see if I see any changes. Thank you again!

Guys...my weekends are so destructive!! Just venting, I know what happened and why. I am an emotional nightmare :s I have been journaling and doing some meditation but my emotions and loneliness still get to me on the weekends. It has been a challenge getting back on track and sticking to my plan since my trip. Add the…
