I bet Clyde gets plenty of love and treats.

Ha-ha!!! We celebrate doggie birthdays at my house and our kids are grown!! :laugh: I have a male brindle boxer named Toby.

Midwest girl now living in Southern California.

I have a banana every morning in my smoothie. Here are some fun facts for the banana lovers out there. Courtesy of the Banana Museum. http://www.bananamuseum.com/ BANANA FACTOIDS: An average American eats 26 pounds of bananas every year - that's about 150 bananas. Seems low to me; I average 365 a year. Immigrants arriving…

Me too. I bought my original Magic Bullet at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Their return policy is great. Every time the motor blows, they simply change it for me. I use mine every day.

This grandma can appreciate your comments!! Way to go!!

Love it!! That was me too. The thought of a size 20 was my wake-up call.

Success is the greatest revenge!!!

We need to get this group thriving; I'm in San Diego.

I made this, last night, and fell in love with it. For my meat loving husband, I added Hillshire Farms Beef and Jalapeno Sausage. I love cabbage and this gave me a new go-to recipe. http://naturallyella.com/2010/06/29/quinoa-and-cabbage-salad/ Author: Erin Alderson Recipe type: Main Dishes Prep time: 5 mins Cook time: 15…

Hello from the West Coast!! I have been on MFP for a while, but I am new to the Boards.

From totally supportive husband who loves me at any weight: "Glad you are happier with your weight now. I don't think you can afford to lose any more. You are ready to start maintenance now, right?" At that point, I still had 25 lbs to go to reach a healthy BMI, so I wasn't ready for maintenance. :smile: .

Congrats!! I share your joy. I just tripped the 170 lbs mark too.

I agree. I love the way you think. I have 2 boxers: 1 - 60 lbs female and 1 - 85 lbs male. I lost my female boxer.

Sounds great. I will be making tomorrow. Thanks for sharing.

Will make today!! Yummy!!

I don't think it sounds weird at all. Actually, I will have to try it. I love pretzel thins and oftentimes use cottage cheese as a dip for wheat thins. I love cottage cheese and diced nectarine or with a mix of fresh blackberries, raspberries and blueberries. Although my family uses dressing for their salad, all I need is…

I like that logic!! Good for you!!

I agree. He did you a favor. Way to go!! 8 lbs lost!!: smile:

Way to go!! 90 lbs lost!! :smile:

One more thing, a "look" can be worse than words. At some point, I quit keeping track of my weight. I think I hit somewhere near 250 lbs on my 5'5" frame, before I came out of my funk. The "look" was common, when my husband and I would go out to eat. He does not have a weight issue. I felt the "look" of disapproval no…

Until a series of events sent me into a funk (depression), I never had a weight problem, but within 6 months I put on probably 40 pounds. At a work related social event, a male coworker asked me, "when are you due?" For a moment, it shocked me, but it did not pull me out of my funk. I wrote it off to him just being stupid.…

Way to go, to all of you in the 100+ club!! To the rest of us, we will get there too. The key for me is eat less and move more.

Congrats!! Keep up the good work!!

Way to go!! Thank you for the continued motivation!!

Tara, My suggestion is to pull out your baby's stroller and walk!! If the weather prevents you from walking outdoors, then you could drive to the local indoor mall. For additional support and motivation, do a google search for "Mommy Meetups" in your area. You will find other moms just like you. Good luck!! Connie

Add me to the 50 lbs to lose team!! I started at 105 to lose. Now, I am over the halfway mark with 47 lbs to go, I walk 4.5 miles a day - 6 days a week. Starting, Feb 1st, I am going to add weight training to my routine. I love healthy food recipes, so please share all you have. I am addicted to my morning protein fruit…

This is my favorite summer recipe, but now that I am thinking about it ---- I am going to make some today. It is just yummy and light, although I do substitute cilantro for the parsley. :smile:…
