  • I am in my late 60's and, yes I have wrinkles! However, after loosing weight, but staying active I have found that they diminish in time. Two important facts - (1) use sunscreen every day. I put it on when I wash my face in the morning, and reapply it a couple of times a day. (2) wear a hat whenever you are outdoors. The…

  • Isn't it funny how our tastes change after doing mfp for a while. I don't want the junk food either. Good for you, you have turned a large corner. Keep up the good work.

  • JJs25th isn't kidding, her water is awful! I feel guilty drinking her bottled water, but can't even take a pill with her tap water. It ever wears out her clothes in no time.

  • I have been on 1200 since I started in at the end of Dec 2009. I am within 1 pound of my goal weight and have plateaued. But I found that I would plateau for a week or two, sometimes even longer, then I would drop 2 or three pounds in days. I don't eat my exercise calories, and seldom eat all of the 1200 calories allowed.…

  • There are so many: I keep a selection of the 100 calorie packs of cookies, crackers etc; also sugar free fudgsicles are only 40 cal; sugar free popsicles only 15 cal. Bananas - 100 cal. Grapes 5=17 cal; also all the other suggestions you have received here are great. My cravings go towards chocolate so...plain M&Ms are 4…

  • I stopped drinking regular soda years ago after drinking it for breakfast and all day long for years. After giving up regular Pepse,I drank diet Pepsi instead of any other liquids for a long time, but now the most I drink is one can of Diet Pepsi Max a day, and this is only if I have a migrain coming on. The Dr. prescribed…

  • Hi, I started on my journey January 2010; it has been slow but steady until October 2010, now I am in a holding pattern with one pound to loose. However, through mfp I have changed the way I eat, what I eat, and my exercise. I still eat everything I want, just smaller portions. Over the year I have been doing this I have…

  • They have steak and chicken at most of the hibachi restaurants. I love to go to them, we have one near us that we keep saying we are going to try, but haven't made it yet. Eat small portions and you will be fine. One day won't throw you off the track anyway. Just return to your regular schedule the next day and enjoy your…

  • I buy it already ground also; I put about a tablespoon in my oatmeal in the morning; I also put the same amount of soy flakes in it and about 1/4 cup of raisens. I put all of these in before I cook it. Then serve with splenda and skim milk, Great breakfast on a cold morning.

  • Don't get discouraged. I lost 5 pounds the first week, but, like you suggested, it was probably water. Now my weight loss has really slowed down. But, I have stuck with the program, and now it is second nature for me to eat what I am supposed to. Also, my cravings for sweets has really changed, I don't need the whole bag…

  • Congratulatons, JJ, it will be great doing the 5K with you, I seem to be stuck at 118 pounds, however, I am loosing inches which is really more important to me. Thank you for getting me to join MFP as it made me a lot more aware of what I am eating, and just how much exercise I need to do. I have been taken off my BP…

  • I figured you were from Boston, I am a Red Sox fan too! I am loosing about 1/2 pound a week which I guess is a good amount, I know it isn't good to take it off too quick - comes back faster than it came off that way. Tai Chi class tonight was awsome! I would have started taking it a long time ago, but couldn't find a place…
    in Low BMR, but MFP recommends 1200 minimum? Comment by jrhm January 2010
  • Thank you SHBoss for your reply and comments to jjs25th, I feel good eating the amounts I eat, I am not going through the day hungry. My main downfall is chocolate in almost any form except yogurt or chees cake! I will be 67 years old in July and never had a weight problem until mid life. Highest I have weighed is 130…

  • I am also on the 1200 calories a day and find it hard to eat them all. I also exercise almost daily, usually a walk for 40 minutes with my neighborhood gals. I would like to get back to my early morning walk too, but haven't been able to do that. My downfall is sweets, so I find someone to share them with. Also when I eat…

  • Hi, I'm new to my fitness pal, but I put all kinds of stuff in my salads: dried cranberries, raisens, dried blue berries, apple, grapes, shredded cheeses, along with the usual of celery, mushrooms, radishes, grapes, peppers, onions. I sort of clean out the frig. My husband made my salad this noon and put a hard boiled egg…
