Georgia, USA.....I'm a southern Peach and I love it here!

Confession time.....I stole your recipe and changed it just a bit. It adds some calories but still well within my calorie range for dinner. I added some drained chunk pineapple with the peppers. Gives it a bit of a sweet and sout thing but without the sweet and sour calories! Even hubby (whose skinny self hates eating…

Instead of the poptart which is full of empty calories and sugar, I buy Smart Ones breakfast sandwiches. Frozen and takes about 90 sec. in the microwave. 210 calories with some good protien. Not perfect but much better all around than the poptart and quick! I will confess to eating my oatmeal most mornings but when I have…

Oh YUM!!!! I love simple!!!

I eat oatmeal almost every morning, add in mixed dried berries, 1 T. brown sugar and 3T. GG Fiber. Less than 300 cal and plenty of fiber.

There is an exercise database here, just like the food database.

44lbs DOWN...little exercise and most of what I have done has been water aerobics. I have primary progressive multiple sclerosis.

Feel free to add me as a friend, lots of support and I will be here for a LONG time.......yes, I have a lot to lose!

You CAN do this! Sent you a friend request if you want support.

lol....an elephant's heart

Actually part of that is a safety thing.....one too many people trying to reach out and grab whatever they could.

Special K Protien Cereal with raisins and Skim Milk....my dinner for the evening. I had a tough day, I'm tired and NOT cooking!

I read on another post here this analogy.....think of your metabolism as a fire burning. If you don't add logs to the fire (fuel) the fire will smolder and go out. If you don't fuel your body, then it doesn't have anything to keep it burning. If you want to fuel the fire to burn those pounds then you must give it the…

Salads are the worst thing to have calories heaped on them disguised as "toppings". Applebees Oriental Chicken Salad...1340 calories!!!!

Now that it is too cool for me to swim in the evenings, I am going to start walking every day during my lunch hour. 30 min for lunch, 30 min for walking

Once a week, up or down.....I log it!

I started with 175 lbs to lose, I am down 44 to date, but exercise is very difficult for me. I get in some walking and water aerobics had helped greatly. Now that the weather is cooler and we are closing our pool I guess it will be just the walking for a while. I have primary progressive MS, so anything that I can do as…

Never under 1200, and I'm not sure how you have your personal info set up. Check your settings, even 1200 may be too low for your size and activity level.

I normally buy what fits, and yes...I try on at the store, because I hate shopping and I certainly hate returning. Yes, I said it ....I HATE shopping most of the time...I have MS...it's painful to walk in the mall for hours. Now, with that being said....I ran across a sale last week on the khaki pants that I have to wear…

Sophie Watson.....sounds like a real name!

If that's what it takes then I am in SERIOUS trouble. I have MS and I can't run or do anything high impact, yet I have managed to lose 43 lbs. watching my calories and doing water aerobics, walking when my body will let me. Everyone has to do what works for them!

grilled chicken breast with cajun seasoning, cole slaw, and steamed california blend veggies....468 calories for the whole meal.

Yep....time for me to get back with the program!!! I took some time off while getting ready for my nephew's wedding. I helped cater the rehearsal dinner and the wedding reception. Sometimes I wish I didn't like my own cooking quite so much, especially when someone else is setting the menus!!!

I really know about that.....I have to keep going for my health, but this has been my toughest month so far!!!!!

Fortunately for me our little town has a "city wide" yard sale the first weekend in October. I will be participating this year in a BIG way!!! Gonna get rid of some things that are too big and scope out other peoples sales for some "new" things for myself!

SW - 268.6 lbs (Monday August 1) Week 1 - 263.8 lbs (Monday August 8) Week 2 - 263.2 lbs (Monday August 15) Week 3 - 266.8 lbs (Monday August 22) Week 4 - xxx lbs (Monday August 29) Total lost - xx lbs (Thursday September 1 Down and now back up....unfortunately normal for me. Lots of exercise yesterday so I am probably…

Well.....it's my weekend to work (I work every other weekend), so Sat and Sun I will be working! However.... going out to dinner Sat night to celebrate my 34th Wedding Anniversary!!!!

When I have to have some chocolate......chocolate animal crackers...16 is only 130 cal.

I love my GF grill and do veggies almost as much as chicken. Being from the south where everyone thinks fried, I have surprised them all with "Grilled Green Tomatoes". They love them! Just spray a little non stick cooking spray on the GF, slice green tomatoes add a little black pepper and grill. No battering. They make…

Asst dried fruits....blueberries, cherries and cranberries....cooked with the oatmeal to make them plump up.....yummy!
