I think you will LOVE this site. So much encouragment and support!!! Good luck I know you can do it!!! HEIDI:smile: :flowerforyou: :smile:

Me personally I just watch the cals and carbs. I don't really care much for the rest. I used to try and do them all but it was to hard. I would have enough cals left for dinner but it would put my protein over and it was just to hard juggling food around to make them all right...ya know! :smile:

Thanks everyone for your comments. I guess I should just count it as the same. Making the yogurt is so easy and mine turns out creamy everytime. But you have to remember that it is alive so you have to be very careful. Here is a link to the recipe that I follow, it shows using a yogurt maker, but you can do it on a heating…

I KNOW RIGHT!!!!!! We can eat whatever:flowerforyou:

Hands down... ♥EVERY BREATH - Jenny Phillips♥

:laugh: LOL I love your thinking! You made me smile and honestly with my life right now I need that.:cry: I am glad that you love the site. ME TOO! It's more than just counting cals...it a support network. We are no longer alone...I LOVE THAT! Anyways I wish you the best of luck! HEIDI:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:…

hehehe my sister recruited me over to calorie counter and I tried it for her. It was just too confusing. This site is VERY USER FRIENDLY and can NEVER be replaced!!! HEIDI

:wink: I do this alot! Only I don't forget, I just slowly quit or get out of the habit of coming here. I joined in 2008 and I am sure that if I had stayed on track I would be well past the "maintaining" stage and not still trying to lose. But the great thing is that tomarrow is another day and another chance to succeed! I…

Well you will find tons of support here! I love this site...it has been a total life saver for me. WELCOME!!! :flowerforyou:

Recipe sounds good!!! THANKS! I need and energy booster and this might be it! Normally I will just have a banana...but doesn't do much...HEIDI

LOVED THIS! Some I already do, but some I did not know. I am really wanting to grow the garlic...Getting my garden ready today actually. I will have to check that out. I make my own salad dressing, very simlar to the one you posted...but I am always confused it I need to be refrigerating it. I do...but it freezes up a bit…

I :heart: that!!! Thanks for sharing it. I am a huge quote person. HEIDI

NICELY SAID I was thinking the same thing...Cals are cals and will always be. It's all about which foods you choose. It should feel good to choose the veggies. You can have alot more veggies and healthly foods than the bad foods, so you will be more full. I was amazed to learn how many, lets say, strawberries I could have…

YUM I can taste it already!!! I love chocolate!!! HEIDI

WELCOME!!! This is a great site! We are here for ya...HEIDI

k so I am probably asking a dumb question, but what is "carbonara"?

Yep 1/2 cup is 4 oz. and 500 cals is alot! I don't think that would be worth it to me, that is almost half my cals for the day if I don't exercise. It's no wonder I was getting so big, I used to not worry about cals or anything and when I started on this site I was amazed at how much I was over eating and making bad food…

WOW it sounds like you have had one heck of a journey so far. I love this site too!!! It sounds like you have a good game plan and are already off to a great start! As for the 1500 cals...you should be able to manually set the amount of cals you want...I think anyways. Mine is set for 1350, but with the exercise it ends up…

If it was me I would eat over or pretty darn close to what I hope to burn, well maybe under estimate, then make sure I work out. It should be a motivation to make sure you get it done if you know you are over. If you go over and don't get your exercise in then the next day I would work extra hard in my workout.

So I just happened across your group. How long are you guys going? I realize you are at week 15. I might tag along for some motivation. What days do you weigh in on? THANKS...HEIDI

SPEAKING OF AVACODO...I have a question? I buy the BIG ones at costco and can't find the nutritional info on this site for a big one. I have been just adding the small one to my meals since my hubby and I share one a day. I know they are from Mexico, but that is all I know. I know they are alot of cals so I really want to…

I read that the bands were better. I actually went and bought some, but are waiting for them to come in the mail. I am so excited to see it they work.

SWEET I am glad that you are here. This site is an awesome tool. Welcome!!! HEIDI

WELCOME! This is an awesome site and I am positive you will find a lot of support. We all have one goal and that is to be more healthy. I wish you much luck! :flowerforyou:

I am right there with you only mine is not just gluten free. I am doing the Specific Carbohydrate Diet for my health problem. The dining hall should be able to accommodate to your needs, but if they can't you will have to get creative. I prepare a lot of my foods ahead of time so I am not tempted to cheat. Like have a…

Lots of luck to you! :flowerforyou:

It sounds like you are off to a great start and having the support of your husband is wonderful! I wish you lots of success! You can do it! :wink: HEIDI

Nothing too orginal I am afraid. :flowerforyou: Wheat tortilla Turkey or roast beef are my favorite meat! Light Ranch lettuce green onion green peppers pepper swiss cheese yum yum for me I am excited to see everyone else's favorite's too!:flowerforyou:

When aunt flo comes to visit I wish I could run and hide:happy: I make myself go to the gym and run, because in my silly little head I think I can run her away!!!
