Thanks for the recipe.....I will have to try it tonight as I have blueberries at home as well. Hope we get a few more recipes to try out . :)

On work days I make an omlette with egg beaters, mushrooms, onions, peppers, ham, cheese (different varieties) and put salsa on top. I also have an orange with it. And my coffee to start my day. Keeps me full and satisfied until lunch. On the weekends I will make homemade egg mcmuffins or have eggs, toast and sometimes…

I tend to stay within my calories but I don't follow the guidelines for carbs/protein, etc. As a diabetic I find too many carbs such as breads, pototos, rice and pasta don't agree with me and I'm hungry on top of that. I eat more than my alloted protein which satisfies me and keeps me full and doesn't play havoc on my…

Wow.....you look amazing and are an inspiration!! Congrats on your weight loss!

I`m 5 feet tall, started at 198 and hoping to get to 130. I will re-evaluate as I go down.

Hi there, As a single parent for many years of 2 growning boys, money was tight and I got creative. It's all about the planning and prepping at the beginning of the week. It's cheaper to make from scratch than to buy processed foods and I even had numerous people ask me to show them how I was doing it, right down to taking…

I do something similar too. I just cut up an apple, put it in a bowl, I have a spice jar with brown sugar twin, cinnamon and nutmeg and I sprinkle on top and microwave until soft. It's yummy. If you want the ultimate dessert, top with a little bit of light or fat free cool whip.

I have 2 weigh ins......Thursday morning at home and Thursday night at a weight loss group. I log my morning one here on MFP because it's first thing in the morning. The day before and of WI I generally eat "clean" meaning I don't eat processed foods and stuff containing salt. My body unfortunately retains fluid when I do.…

Lots a great ideas....thank you :) Can`t wait for my trip and to try restaurants we don`t have around here. But I will be eating on the healthy side. Why mess up all my good progress. Thanks again!!

Thanks gals. I know I will have to head out with that frame of mind that I will attempt to make the healthiest choices and portions. Hoping for the willpower to pull it off.

I find this time of year, after bbq`s and light eating all summer, I want the meat and potatoes, casseroles, lasagnas and those kind of comfort foods. Mind you, I`m not eating them but definitely when the cooler weather hits that`s what I look for.

I'm in.....was looking for an exercise challenge for November.

I use a pedometer and map out routes that I want to walk. That way, I just head out and know how much I am putting on. For days that I'm just walking, I will put the pedometer on to count. I sometimes put it on at work. Did 2 miles the other day just in day to day walking, outside of my normal exercise.

I tend to plan ahead of time because it makes my week a whole lot easier. I generally plan, buy and prep on Sunday and know what I will be eating during the week. For instance, next week hubby is going away for work and I`m up at 6:00, do a paper route, on a bus by 7:30 and by the time I get home from work its 5:35. Long…

Hi there.....I'm 46, a mom of 2 teenagers, have a significant other, I'm a daughter and a friend. Work full time, run a small candy business and take a quilting course. Put in day to day craziness, and I'm a pretty busy gal. Taking control of my life and loving it. I would love to share your journey with you. Feel free to…

Welcome to MFP....great site and people. Feel free to add me and we can share this journey together. Good luck!

It`s recommended that you drink at least 8 glasses a day. I generally drink more water as I don`t drink juices, milk and very little pop. I have a big glass that holds 3.5 cups of water. Three of those a day is over 10 glasses. If you don`t like water, you can get MIO drops, which are sugar free and sodium free. Great to…

I don`t really have cheat days. Some days I may eat a high calorie food, such as pizza the other night, but it came around my calories and I adjusted the day around it. I enjoy the food I am eating and get creative with it. When I first started I didn`t track on the weekends and did eat not so great. But I have made the…

Thank you for sharing your story....you`re such an inspiration. Many of us have been on this journey for a long time, and have had challenges get in the way, excuses come out of our mouth, all the while filling our mouths. It`s all about attitude, and like you said, not giving up. You look awesome and should be proud of…

Oh so count me in......this group sounds like a blast. Might as well laugh our way through with positives and support :)

Welcome to MFP. It`s a great program and lots of support here. You`re more than welcome to add me as a friend. I have been here since September but my journey started early summer. Still have a long way to go but couldn`t imagine not doing it here. Good luck!

Hi there....welcome. I`ve been on since September and this a great support place. You`ll love it here. Feel free to add me as a friend. Good luck!

You look absolutely amazing....and very happy. Congrats!!

I agree.....what a great music list! Thanks :happy:

This is awesome guys. Going to get my teenager to show me how to download onto my phone so I can have some new music when I`m walking. Thanks!!

I sometimes eat into them if I have a busy day and am hungry but most times I try and save them. It`s just a personal preference!

I am a diabetic and have to watch my sugars. However, I never follow them on here as I eat healthy to fit into my plan, which includes fruit, and as long as I`m eating healthy, that`s fine with me. I also go over on my proteins, and am lower on my carbs because MY body doesn`t handle carbs and the protein fills me and…

Stunning...you look great!
