Thank you all for your suggestions!

would you be willing to share your recipe? I am just using one I found online. Maybe yours is better?

No, I put them in my ceramic skillet tonight but they were still mushy. Then I think I cooked them too long because they were crumbly.

I rarely eat after 7pm, which is about 12 hours after I get up.

I can't barely swallow yogurt. I like the taste, just not the consistency. I eat a container of Great Value Non-Fat Light Greek Yogurt, Peach Flavor and chase it with water. I love it.

Sort of...it was tethered to the ground so I don't know if that counts. Have you ever wished you weren't with your significant other?

I will have to buy another scale. Mine has grams on it but they are only marked in increments of 50. Trying to accurately measure something that is 13 grams would be as inaccurate as me using a spoon.

Thank you so, so much. I appreciate your help. I added you too!

How do you weigh dressing? How much does a Tablespoon weigh?

Thanks for all your responses. It all makes a little more sense now. To those that asked, I am on an aggressive eating plan of 1000-1200 because I am very overweight and I am suffering negative health consequences. It is only short term (hopefully 1-3 months) until I can exercise more comfortably. I am measuring (I weigh…

I went to bed at midnight and got up at 9am. During that time it said I burned 857 calories and walked 15 steps which I probably did when I woke up at 2 to us the bathroom. I'm not sure I understand what you mean by net or total calories? I eat 1000 to 1200 calories a day per doctor's recommendation.

Thank you...this has been very helpful! We don't have a bulk barn, but any natural food supplier or something similar should have that psyllium fiber don't ya think? I am going to check it out tomorrow or over the weekend.

Yes...even when I put in my profile that I was happily married. Being overweight doesn't mean that I'm desperate or hard up for a man's conversation or attention. I just delete their request and move along.

I have 6. Do I qualify? LOL

I play piano. I am Kentucky born & bred & I don't really like basketball much. (gasp! unheard of here) I have 1 dog, 3 children & 4 cats. I have a tattoo of a music note, but the note part is a heart with my husband's initial in it. I love antiques, and actually wish the world would go back to the way it was in the 40's.

False...I had to go look up who Ryan Gosling was. He is pretty cute though. PBM plays a musical instrument.

People always think I'm younger. I am almost 41, and most people say I look like I'm in my early 30's

My doctor said it is VERY important to eat a little bit of protein every night before you go to bed to sustain yourself throughout the night. I also eat a single serving of Breakstone Lite Cottage Cheese.

My favorite is 1 tbs of ranch & 1 tbs of sweet & tangy french. I also dip my fork in the dressing then get a bite of salad. I only use about a tbs of what I make. I just make sure to log it.

I haven't been to many concerts. The I saw a lot in the 80's...mostly teeny bopper bubble gum music. The last couple of concerts I saw was Tim McGraw and Keith Urban. Barry Manilow is coming to my city at the end of the month and I would LOVE to go see him, but tickets are too outrageous!

Eat some almonds before you go & you most likely won't be as hungry. Stick to the salad bar, and veggies/fruits. Saw my doctor today & she keeps reminding me that portion control is everything. I have a little 2 ounce ramekin that I take with me to buffets so I can readily measure out what 2/4 ounces is of anything I eat.…

My middle child walks in his sleep. When he was about 5, he actually went outside in the middle of winter in his jammies & bare feet. I heard the door open and my husband took off so he didn't make it too far. We had a chain lock installed the next morning, although he never attempted to go outside again. I've found him…

I can only play piano. My kids are the talented ones. My daughter marches alto sax, but seems to be able to play just about anything she picks up. She can play alto sax, tenor sax, clarinet, violin, piano & a little bit on the trumpet. My son marches tuba, but can also play the trumpet & the baritone. My little guy can…

I am too. Any of you can feel free to ad me. Thanks!

I am too...I lost a bunch of weight last year using this site, then my mother in law passed away (I was her care taker) and I got extremely depressed. I just quit trying and gained almost all of my weight back. I'm now back on track & most of my friends from before have deleted me so I need some new friends to help keep me…

Thanks everyone...I am totally clueless when it comes to these kinds of things. When I try to google what I want, I get so many contridicting opinions and I don't really know what to believe. If I believed everything I read I would be eating tree bark, and I'm certian I'd find an opinion somewhere that says I shouldn't be…

My daddy passed away in 1986 when I was just 14. It totally rocked my world to it's core. He was an awesome man, who showed me how a daddy treats his daughter, who showed me what to not to take from a man, who showed me that real men treat you with respect, open the car door for you, and treat you like a princess. I so…

I am NOT having a midlife crisis just because I choose not to go into my 40th year fat.

Mine was taken last month by my husband when we were away for our anniversary.
