YOU are worth a lot more than $1000, so proceed with caution and make sure you maintain your health. Listen to your body! :happy: I agree with the quote above in that you should do the healthy thing and stick with your original goal! Sorry to list my message twice, I just started this site the last week of October. Prior…

YOU are worth more than $1000, so proceed with caution and make sure you maintain your health. Listen to your body! :smile: I tried to delete this post but didn't know how, so I guess you get a double dose of YOU being worth more than a prize!!!! TAKE CARE

barbiecat.. thanks for the welcome and that is truly great walking! I've been walking with the seniors in our community, our goal is to walk around the world with all of our steps combined. I've walked a bit over 16,000 today and Yoga class didn't count for much. I got the most walking to the bank, stores, and around town…

I'm just starting my eating day here in Utah. it's almost 7:30am Mountain Standard Time I'm having my standard Love it breakfast (about 450 calories) But it really keeps me going! 1/4 C oat groats ( when I roll it I get 1/2 cup fresh rolled oats) I add 1 Tbs. hulled barley (cracked) 1 Tbs whole wheat ( all cracked of…

I got my pedometer at Newlifestyles.com it is a digi-walker SW-200 it has a security strap so it won't fall off and get lost. I LOVE it I've walked well over a million steps since the first of August! Even amazed myself!

True, that would add 120 calories per serving Whatever size that is. I guess honey seemed great to me because sugar would add 193 calories per serving in your recipe. I use a lot more water in my jam recipe and the servings are small, so it doesn't seem that Gah! to me the way I use it. So I guess it's just a matter of…

I just joined the site last week. Previously I had lost 20 pounds and then I've been the same for nearly 3 months. I've been going to a yoga class 3 days a week, but still no weight loss, but when I measured my waist it had gone down 2 inches. Everything that helps us stay motivated is good! Best to you!:drinker: :happy:

My jam uses 12 Cups of fresh cranberries, zest on one orange and then remove peel and puree the orange in a blender. One 12 oz can of frozen orange juice concentrate, 2 1/2 Cups of honey ( to make Jam I use 5 C water 4 1/2 tsp of Pomona universal pectin and 3 T of calcium water { the calcium needed to make the calcium…

I'll find my recipe for Cranberry- Orange Jam It could be adapted easily to a sauce, and it uses Honey, no Splenda or sugar. Very tasty and much better for you. I avoid Splenda like the plague. Sorry, But I'm a believer in the less processed foods, and definitely don't go for the artificial ones.:ohwell:

My new favorite way to cook sweet potatoes is to peel and cube them, brush them with a little butter and lightly sprinkle a garlic herb blend on them and bake them in the oven. I think I use 350 degrees probably about 20-25 minutes. I just check them and take them out when fork tender. I now like this way better than with…

Looks like a great recipe. I just wanted to post one that my daughter fixed for me last month and I fixed it for dinner last night. It's very beautiful,easy and delicious. I didn't know how to copy the picture, but here's the link to the recipe that shows it.…

I use brown basmati. Using part broth for part of the water sounds like a great idea. I also grind brown rice into flour along with several other grains to use in my multigrain bread. I have learned that when grains are in combination they act with synergy and have a greater impact on health than when eaten…

Hi Dani! Welcome to MFP! This is a very helpful website! I'm fairly new too just one week! I know you will find it very useful. I already have. Best of work to you!:happy:

another great thing to use on them instead of cinnamon is a little garlic salt or Mrs Dash. Any herb blend with garlic and little or no salt is great!:happy: love em!

When you check the data base it is important to have an accurate description.The seeds that were roasted without the shell were the highest count. (They shrink when roasted so you get more per cup) The dried seeds which I get from the health food store were the 747 amount for a cup ( which is the amount I would use in 10…

Welcome and good luck to you! :happy: I just joined about a week ago. I had been working on getting in shape for the last 9 months, (actually longer) and then got stuck after losing 24 pounds. I think this is a great site and what I need to get me going again. I'm working for more than weight loss. I had a virus in my…

Sounds like a great challenge! I'm just starting the day, so I guess Water will be first:blushing: I can't think of a better way to start my day:happy: I'm new, so I don't know if I know how to post the cute little pictures yet!:ohwell:

I guess my meals are a lot more complicated than the rest of you. Yesterdays meals included: Breakfast : My special mix of 7 grains cooked with craisins, goji berries, and blueberries, raspberries, chia seeds and almonds added with a little skim milk. Lunch: provided by the senior centervegetable beef soup, 1 small piece…

I just joined yesterday! Looks like a great supportive group! Welcome

I just had some Xocai Healthy chocolate! (Omega Square) Love it! such deep chocolate flavor and only 57 calories for a piece.!

I just started this site today! Breakfast: 1/2 C 7grains (cooked) cereal w/ handful(about 1Tbs) craisins, dried goji berries, frozen blueberries, sliced almonds, chia seeds, fresh raspberries ( still have a few from the garden) and skim milk. Water to drink. Probably need to add a little more protein, haven't decided what…

My husband teaches a nutrition class at the local college. He just read the latest research on protein consumption on Science Daily web site. Studies suggest that protein should be consumed in moderate amounts throughout the day. No more than 30 grams at a time is necessary. I was searching this site to find out the…

I'm old school- I make my own- I found a kind of pectin that requires no sugar for activation, so you can use honey, agave nectar or lower amounts of sugar if you choose and make your own jams and jellies. It is called Pomona Pectin ( universal pectin activated by calcium water) everything you need is in the box. So jams…
