Good idea. I'm going to try it too. :)

Reminds me of my home-made soy burger recipe. Problem with them is how good they are and how many I eat! :( I may try them again once I'm not fighting the cravings quite so much. ;)

Would you believe it? Our address is Omaha, but we are in a small "pocket" with NO public library! In order to use a library, I would have to pay 50-100 dollars!!! Weird, huh? Your idea is great, though. :)

All great ideas. Nowadays I can't use spices much due to oral lichen planus. sigh But.... I buy lemons when they are on sale, juice them all and pour into ice cube trays to freeze--the into a baggy for use whenever i want. I also buy leeks (few people know what to do with them). I clean, chop, cook, and puree them (the…

Good reminders. Hubby and I decided to buy specials for Valentine's Day. We each picked Talapia (we love it, and nice that it will be fewer calories than steak). I haven't planned the whole mean yet, but am hoping no to go over much, if any for the special day. We'll see. He may get me chocolates (gluten free, of course).…

That did help. Thank you so much. :)

Boy, can I relate. I was on steroids for several years and looked like a blimp. I've been off steroids for a couple years now and did lose a lot by just going off them, but now I've joined mfp to lose those last stubborn 20 pounds. I just joined last Sat., so first weigh-in is tomorrow. I'm excited and scared at the same…

Wow, this sounds easy and yummy. I will definitely try it next week. :)

Thanks again for the incentive. I'm going to try!

I did see that, but then found another possible problem. sigh I put a LOT of foods on the list, yet only a few are showing when I punch it in now. Maybe I did something wrong the first time. Will try again. THANKS

Hope I don't need this for flu, but it sounds good for any day. I know I need to make some soups and freeze for days when by dinner I'm near my calorie limit.

One more day (yesterday) with 2 veg.s and 2 fruit servings. I want to keep up at least that much for a week, and then try to add on another veg. If I do better--GREAT. If not, that's a start at least. :) Hoping to make some carrot 'chips' today or tomorrow.

:smile: :smile: :smile:

Oh, I love this idea. I can get my veg. count up if I do this. Will need to set aside time to do all that slicing, but once a week should do it. :) THANKS again.

OK, so yesterday I actually got in 2 veg.s and 2 fruits. Woo-Hoo! I know many people get in much more, but for me that is GOOD. Especially lately, when I've been using carb.s to soothe stress--not a good idea. :)

These are a good reminder. Prayer is my biggest stress reliever, though often it takes me awhile to 'line up with' God! :) Thanks for posting this. I'm also looking forward to being outside more now that spring is in the air--at least for a few days this week, till the next cold weather blows in. sigh

THANKS. I'm going to try my version of this--dairy and gluten free. :)

I think I'll try a variation of this. THANKS for the idea. smile

I needed that. Thanks. I also--second day in a row--ate that last tempting snack in the evening, which put me quite a bit over. sigh I'm trying to list all my temptations and space them out in the month--hoping that will help, knowing that I can have it on such and such a day (not as if I can't ever have it). My mind tries…

Thanks. This reminded me of how much I love fresh mint tea. And I have some frozen fresh mint--so guess what I will have later today?!

OK, so now what am I doing wrong. I went to "my home" and so far have found no place that says 'recipes' on that page. HELP

Lots of great ideas to incorporate. THANKS!!!!

Hi. I'm a stress eater too. My hubby has been on chemo, which set off his atrial fib--talk about stress!! I thought he was dying at one point. Anyway, during those months I put on quite a bit of weight. I guess in the day and age all of us are stressed but sometimes it sure does get worse. I know you are in much more…

Hi. I'm looking for a group where there are people posting daily--interacting, encouraging, answering questions, etc. For instance, I can't seem to figure out how to add a recipe of my own, or how to make a list of regularly used foods that can be clicked on instead of looking up each food each time. I need to know someone…

Hi. Just joined and am NOT from NM! It sounds warm just to think of where you are, though. I'm from NE--Brrrr. My hubby was on chemo for several months and I turned to food for comfort in the stress. God was VERY present, but I used food too. :( Now I need to start eating right and losing the extra pounds. I want to feel…
