You can add me. I'm new to the online community. I was nervous about friending at first. I don't Facebook or any of that. But I have found this site to be a great help. I am not doing as we'll as I'd like but with the support of my new friends here I haven't given up after a week or two like n the past. The one thing I…

Love Hummus!

First key - shop the perimeter of the store. It is where the freshest and most nurtitious item are. The produce, dairy, meats. the center aisles have all of the processed foods. Second, the more ingrediants there are the less healthy the food is likely to be. For example - if you like peanut butter it should have nothing…

What about swimming? It is very low impact and great cardio. There is also aqua aerobics. Ask your doc. You can also search for isometric exercises and low mobility exercises. there are some good ideas out there. Once you find some that appeal to you see what your doctor thinks about them.:happy:

Though I've been married 10 years, I remember the feeling. I switched to eating meals off of a salad plate to control portion size. Half of the plate veggies and the other two quarters starch and protein. I also used the "buff brides" book for workouts I could fit into my schedule.

Love lord of the rings quote! For a treat, I put them in the oven until they are a touch crispy then dip them in honey. It is awesome!

It is a simple spin on GoDogGo

Love hummus and cheese the best but when sweets are calling dark chocolate lures me in

Monday mornings as soon as I get up.

You are doing great. When I get down on myslef it is always good to see someone elses progress. It reminds me of how rewarding the end of the journey is.

Man do I ever wish we had Whataburger in upstate NY.

Humor is essential to my success!

False Next person doesn't know how to swim

Carefully typing this time --- advice and humor given -- both much needed -- love this site -- love the support!

Of not f - man I can't type today

Thanks for the advice all f you.

Over eating -- stupid auto correct

It is generically true but you also have to eat enough to support your body's basic needs. If you eat too little your body goes into "starvation mode" and starts to fight against losing its needed weight.

You can do it! You are here trying this and seeking support. Celebrate that today! Handle tomorrow when it gets here.

First - your weight does not measure your worth! Second - what would you say to a friend if they felt like you do today? You have to be as nice to yourself as you would to a friend. Trust me, I do the same thing and need a regular reminder that I would never be this hard on someone else.

Tip for any taco meat- use baby food carrots in lieu of water when mixing in the spices.

These are not my original ideas - saw them somewhere but can recall exactly --- 1. Make mini pizzas with zucchini as the "crust" Very yummy, more nutrition, fewer calories, satisfies a craving 2. Make a sandwich with thin apple slices as the " bread" fill with a protein of your choice, another fruit, peanut butter,…

Hello! All I can say is that you totally inspire me!

1 to 1.5 lbs a week is totally healthy. Too much too fast isn't good. Slow and steady wins the race. I'm down 10 in 6 weeks. 7 in 3 weeks is awesome!

"If you don't have all you want, be grateful for the things you don't have that you don't want"

So, there are times when inspiration is hard to find but I think I'll just look back at your successes because they truly are an INSPIRATION!
