Great idea, thanks...I love avacados!

I have over 100 lbs. to lose, I'm down 10 so far, feel free to add me as a friend.

A big HELLO from Idaho! I'm a grandma or gma as the grandkids call me, I love being a gma! You're only as old as you feel, I'm 56!:flowerforyou:

Life is too short, to not enjoy eating favorite foods once in a while..emphasize on once in a while, Sometimes my once in a while turns into years before I get control again...enjoy, but be careful you are doing so well!!

1st of all, don't give up, it will be worth it! I think I've been on every diet and I've lost weight, but then I gained it back. This time, I want to learn how to keep it off...It's slower because I'm on a 1600 calorie plan...I don't want to be on a diet, because then I would go back to my old eating habits...I want to…

I am 50+, this sounds like a great group! Sign me up:happy:

I was on a low card diet for a year, lost a lot of weight and inches, felt great, but then...when I started eating carbs again, I gained back the weight I lost and then some!! Moderation, I believe is the key!! I am working on portion control, everyone has their own weaknesses. Good luck to you!

turkey and avocado is my favorite, love avocados!

chocolate covered acai berries

So happy for you! You look great, Congratulations! :happy:

Hi, welcome to MFP, it's a great place! It helps so much to know that you are not alone, feel free to put me as a friend. Good luck in your journey!

400 Calorie Fix by Liz Vaccariello with Mindy Hermann, RD I like this book, because it talks about portion control, which is what I struggle with.

I went through this with Easter, it seems like holidays are always hard for me! It has taken me a couple of weeks to get the pounds off I gained that weekend. Why is it so easy to put weight on and so hard to lose it? Anyway, I look at it as a learning experience, just get right back on, keep track of calories and…

thanks for the hint about lemon in the water, great idea!

the ticker I used, was in hopes of Spring! I love flowers, so I chose tulips, the first flower in my yard in Spring! (besides dandelions)Lol!

It's raining, and later 60 mile an hour winds! Not fun, good day to stay home!:grumble:

Thanks for sharing, I too love my snacks! Some of my favorites are rice krispie treats 90 cal., Healthy choice fudge bars 100 cal. and chocolate acai berries, around 10 calories a piece.

No, I only log when I do at least 30 minutes of walking, bicycling, water aerobics ect...Just count housework as a bonus! lol!

Happy Birthday! feel free to add me as a friend, getting healthier is the best gift we can give ourselves!

people, (family and friends) get used to us the way we are, they don't like change. So sometimes they sabotage our diets! They are not being mean, but they are afraid we will change, and sometimes they don't even know they are doing it. good luck to you, because it's hard to make changes especially if you're going against…

homemade chili, it's the perfect food, you have protein, veggies and fruit (tomatoes) all in one bowl!

It sounds like menopause symptoms, not fun. Exercise is a great way to boost your mood swings..get fresh air and sunshine if possible. Good luck!:smile:

licorice, I can't eat just one cinnamon rolls cake with frosting homemade bread cookies

I want to learn how to eat like a normal person, I don't want to diet! I want to make a lifestyle change, I want to be able to go to a holiday dinner or birthday party and not feel like I am cheating on my diet! So portion control is what I need to learn! As far as a cheat day, whatever works for you! We each have to find…

First of all, the dog pictures are adorable! I've had dogs all my life, I usually find that the smaller breeds are more apt to bite, they have to protect themselves because of their size, also it depends on the age, sometimes they tend to get crankier when they get older because their bodies ache ect.. You shouldn't trust…

This is not easy, there is always holidays, birthdays ect.. to deal with! It's frustrating for me also! Usually if I am good during the event, I go home and eat over it later, I should of just had a small amount so I didn't feel deprived. still struggling

I've never thought of tuna for breakfast, what a great idea, thanks!

When I want to walk outside and the weather is crappy!

I got the Zumba set for Christmas, I love it! I am still only on about 2 of the dvd's, but it makes you have a lot more energy, when I do it that is! I am glad you mentioned it, I am going to start it up again today. How many calories do you burn? Does anyone know, so I can add it to my exercise list.

Big Congratulations! That is an awesome story, and it inspires me to continue on my journey! Thank you for sharing!:happy:
