Hi …. I have been on MFP on and off since 2012 myself. And, I love the idea of clean eating and making healthier choices. I want to cut down on sugar and carbs (white flour, etc). I am hoping to be inspired by you guys on how to eat healthier, share some recipes and overall, lose some weight along the way.

Just stop by quickly to say Hi and wish you all a good Saturday. I am busy cleaning and making a pumpkin pie for a party I will attending later on. I am trying to stay low on my calorie intake during the day so that I can eat at the party later on. I hope I show some restraint. Congratulations to all that have lost, keep…

Today was a beautiful day in the neighborhood. So, a friend of mine invited me out to tour the City here in Bremen, Germany. We left around 10:30 am and arrived home around 7:30 pm. It was so gorgeous out and with no commitments today, we just got lost in time. We walked, talked, ate, shopped and met up with friends while…

OMG how time flies. I have been on MFP only a couple of months and I don't know where the time went. All I know is that in the month of April, I had my ups and downs and here's hoping May will bring a more consistent flow. My goals for May are: - Log in every day - Exercise at least 30 minutes a day - Have a meatless day…

Brooke: I am sorry to hear about your back; however you gave me good information on how to work the core standing up. I have download the exercises and I will try them out. Thanks.

Bump for later reading ..

Hello Ladies ... just stopping by to say hi and to let you know I am still in it to win it. I have been busy running around and taking care of business. I will bump this to another time and catch up with you all later. Have a great day.

Thank you ladies for the lovely comments; feeling better about myself. DeeDee: I am planning to clean out my closet over the weekend and am hoping I will be as estatic as you when trying on my spring/summer clothes ... LOL Katla: I haven't played dominoes in a long time. I used to play so much with my family and friends…

@cityjanelondo: I am so jealous ... just kidding. Enjoy yourself in Paris.

@ Renny: I loved your message, "Crying isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s a sign of having tried too hard to be strong for too long.” I haven't cried in a long time and the day after the bombings in Boston, I cried like a baby. This saying hit home with me because I feel that sometimes I carry the weight of the world on my…

11:19 am Germany here ...

OMG ,,, I was horrified learning about the explosions at the Boston Marathon. I turned on the TV and just stared at the news in disbelief. It was just horrible and very scary. My prayers are with the victims and families in Boston.

Megblair: Ich spreche weniger Deutsch. Aber, Ich bin dabei lernen in der Schule Deutsch. I have been here almost 2 years and I mostly speak English with my husband at home; he is German born. I do go shopping by myself and am able to handle the language. The people where I live in Bremen-Lesum, up north, usually will jump…

Welcome back MWfluffy .. you can do this. You did it once; you know the drill. California or bust ...LOL

Well folks I survived another week ... weigh in day. I am so proud of myself for losing this week. I had stepped up the exercise knowing I was going to overindulge this week. Being on MFP and journaling daily has helped me tremendously; otherwise it just wouldn't happened. Your support here has been a God send and has…

Tari from Ohio: Hang in there ... all will come together soon; don't give up. I felt the same a couple of weeks ago and I talk myself out of not going back to the way it was ... eating out of control. I feel much better that I jumped right back on that wagon. It is a daily struggle but I am determine to make it this time…

edraper70: I am saddened to hear of the loss of your mother. My heartfelt condolences goes out to you and your family.

Nice .... glad you found this. I will check out el grup Boricuas. Thanks for sharing.

Puerto Rico Saludable ... anyone out there willing to join the group? We can share recipes on how to make our rich food and culture healthier as we proceed on our journey. Yo como tostones, arroz, habichuelas y avacate. Me gusta churrasco mucho y lechon. Yo se que aye personas que tienen recetas saludable para compadir.…

Hello ladies ... have to bump reading until later; having a busy day. I woke up great this morning and did my morning exercises. I was able to stay on my stationery bike for an extra 10 minutes ... yeah! Did some strength training; cleaned and straighted out the house; now on my way to go shopping for a gift for my mother…

Good morning to all. Yesterday, was a dreary day and my mood had slump a bit. I am still waiting for spring to sprung. I had to literally fight to keep myself within my daily calorie goal however I didn't feel alone so I read a lot of the posts here to give me strength and ideas on how to fight this slump. Well, I will…

Too funny. Thanks for the laugh this morning.

peachstategal: My prayers are with you and your husband. May he have a speedy recovery.

yanniejannie: Congrats on your weight loss. You are doing an awesome job!

50ishfoodie: Thanks for the idea to have my picture taken when my husband carries me over the threshold. Glad you enjoyed your visit to Florida.

Hang in there ladytinkerbel ... I have been there several times. This time around it feels a little different ... maybe I just realized the harm I was doing to myself and wanted to truly fix it. So, here I am again. This message board has been so helpful and I love reading everyone's comments and tips on just living a…

Katla49: Thank you for you comment. I am determine to lose that weight not only so my husband can carry me over the threshold, but for my knees to congratulate me also ... LOL

Beccraywards: Peanut butter on slices of apples or hummus on wasa crackers works for me, along with a cup of green tea. Try that and see if that helps. Oh, also a piece of cheese with fruit will hold you over until your next meal.

jb_2011: I am definitely trying this popsicle recipe. Thanks for sharing.
