BTW when does Lent start?

You are so very special. I still don't know how to put in my recipes into the database. But my daughter does. She's gonna show me. So for lent,I take it the weigh-ins are what you're doing instead of some kind of food. Good girl.

I tried them and NO they didn't work. And the few lbs I did lose I gained back and more when I quit.

You haven't shown your diary so we can't see how you're eating. My question-are you eating 1200 cal at the least. It's required to eat at the least 1200 a day. That might be your problem. I went public and I was having the same problems. My friends on MFP told me I wasn't eating enough. I upped it and that wk I lost 5#.…

I would be sooo happy with 30/20. I pray you'll have another great month.

I've been a very good girl and stuck within my goals and I weighed this morning and was up 5#.Man I'm not having a very good day today.

Welcome aboard Sara.

I can understand you would find it hard to walk with bone on bone knees.But you have done such a good thing giving MFP a chance.We are all here for you.I too had a lot of knee problems but since I've lost a lot of wt my knees don't hurt no more.So do exactly what goals MFP has given you and I know you'll do good.I hope…

Once a wk or else it WILL control your day.

NO NO NO!!! Your diary is NOT ok!! You need to eat at the least 1200 cals. You will find out that you will be gaining and don't be surprised if you lose your hair and strength. This is how your body will rebel. You have put your body in starvation mode. It will eat your muscle. You will become ill. Please eat more.

It most assuredly keeps me honest. But I too like to see what others are doing different. Also,I was in trouble and couldn't lose and my good friends sent me messages and told me what they tho't I was doing wrong. I took their advise and I got out of trouble.

I'm thinking your body will take what it needs and throw the remainder off.Just a thought.

I'm asking myself,"why don't they show their diary"? Are they ashamed of what they eat or what? I show so my MFP friends can comment on the things I eat or in my case,I wasn't losing b/c they seen I wasn't eating enuf. So I agree,if they are a "no-show" they're fired.

I use "Syntrak Nectar whey protein isolate. I had the RNY surgery back in 2000 so this is suggested by the Barriatric surgeons.I but the vanilla bean torte.It is soooo yummy.You can add ant kind of fruit (banana,strawberries,etc) to it that you want.

And I need to know another question on this subject.I measured when I started in Jan.Now it's one mo later and I measured.I know I lost but I didn't write it down.I thought this would keep it for me.But HOW do I retrieve the first measurement?

Sorry I somehow dbld my reply but I don't know how to erase one)

I think it's a good thing. I was losng hair like crazy and freeking out.Then I upped my protein and gazamm!I've got a head full of hair now:)

THAT'S unfair to say ALL Christians are the same.Don't compare us all to one bad experience.

Thanks for asking that question.I have been wondering that too.Some say you eat them others say don't. So I agree if you're needing extra afterwards eat something if you're not don't.You know your body better than anyone else.

you can add me.

Welcome to a great support system. This is just so awesome. Whenever you find yourself sinking just start reading some stories on here and you'll find it's a real picker-upper.Good luck in losing.

One that I like is:"A MOMENT ON THE LIPS,FOREVER ON THE HIPS"!!!

I'd love to be your friend. I started the 3rd also. This is a GREAT place. They are so encouraging. Welcome home:)

I agree with jomajors. But I wish it were true. I love spicy foods.

WalkwithmeLord-you came to the right place. It's like coming home. We're all in the same situation.That's why we're on here.I would be honored to have you as my friend. We need other Christians to prod us on. Happy losing.

Welcome aboard! I'm sending one too.

Myself I do not like hot air corn. It won't hold any salt. If you like bland corn then by all means that would be the healthiest way. Good luck:)

Welcome aboard. This is the easiest way that I've ever tried to lose wt. I wish you success.

Cottage cheese,35 cal bread then put a little pizza sauce,mushroom etc..and mazz cheeze and put it in the oven for just a bit and it is so yummy.Also get some pkgs of sf puddingd,sf jellos and sf cool whip to put on top. There's a lot of things to prepare but I don't know your taste.
