Well said Lindsey. For this thread and many others!

Didn't read all the responses, but it is a fact that a large majority of Americans (not sure of other countries) prefer convenience/pre-packaged ready to cook/ready to eat foods as it fits in well with busy lives. Trends supported by market research. The learned skill of preparing and cooking your own food is sadly…

SPICY: If you make your popcorn the old fashioned way with oil on the stove top, I use infused jalapeno oil to pop it in. Gives a zing to each and every popped kernal. Made a homemade ghost pepper olive oil and tried that too. Wowsa! Love the heat. Also have used spicy additions afterwards like jajapeno pepper, Tony…

Show him the "success stories" threads on this site, and bring up some of the flagged links for him to read on the "getting started"threads. Perhaps he won't read them but if you leave them up on your computer they may randomly attract his attention when you are not around. i agree with an above poster that he may be…

Marvelous job!!!! My "I want to tell someone" is that I hit Onderland, first time back there in over 20 years! And more motivated than ever to continue. Thanks for the post!
-
Wonderful, isn't it? I am about where you are except twice your age! I just hit Onderland a few days ago and am thrilled. Never in my imagination thought I would get there. How terrific to pursue better health at your young age! Congratulations and keep up the good work!

You look wonderful! Hooray for your success!

Also google brown rice and arsenic. Moderation.

Eat wild caught Alaskan salmon. (Shameless plug...)

Definitely a rude personal question if asked by acquaintenances. There are some great replies here that I may use on some people. I have worked hard to lose weight, and happy with my progress. I would most likely answer using the current number of pounds I have lost..... "I am X# pounds less than what I used to weigh. And…

One day at a time! We have all had days like that-controlled all day and then blown it at night when we are in the comfort of our own homes. Cravings, boredom, stress, even happiness! Excuses abound! Just continue on to the next day, and each day as you start working hard towards your goal your will power will improve.…

Me too! I have (too many) clothes that I thought would look and fit better once my lumps and bumps diminished. Well, some of them just looked worse! They hang and bag and sag and are not flattering at all! I am gracing the nice stuff to other people who could use it, and enjoying the few that do look nice. Am hitting up…

Here's another idea that might interest you if you like the easy grab-and-go convenience of muffin style food! The ingredients can always be altered to increase veg's and decrease fats. Probably even add things like cooked quinoa to increase protein. And they freeze well!…

Secretly opens packages in grocery stores and eats the equivalent of a full meal while there. Especially attracted to grapes as they are easiest to finger and eat.

I just found this and tried it a few days ago-worked great! As said above, you need to read and correct wording, such as "2 eggs, lightly beat" you need to remove the words "lightly beat". Need to have just the measurement and ingredient only. Then when you submit, MFP searches for matching ingredients in it's database. If…

I found this recipe on a site referred by another MFP'er, but replaced the strawberries with blueberries as that is all I had. I also used Omega-3 enhanced cooking oil instead of butter, and added 1 Tbsp.of chia seeds. They were delicious! They only had a hint of sweetness, so if that is what you are looking for you may…

^^^^^^THIS!!!!!!!! I sent an apology to an OP a while back, in behalf of all of the decent people on here that genuinely want to welcome and help new members. Her original opener could have been interpreted a few different ways. I saw an open invitation to new friends, and an enthusiasm to start taking care of her health.…

My midriff/tummy/back/muffin top are my worst areas too. I do exercises I found on Youtube-searched for "back fat" and "abs" etc. I find that exercises where you can "feel" muscles in your torso (like the lats) moving or straining are really helpful. I exercise at home using resistance bands, fitness balls, hand weights,…

Ha ha GertrudeHorse you have a lot of pet peeves! Hope it's not a reflection of your entire personality! (joking) My biggest turn-off is people, usually noobies, that post "HELP ME PLEEAAASSSEE!!!!!!!!!!' Before even reading their posts I cop an attitude that they are people with no willpower and full of excuses. Of course…

You have to change your life outlook/lifestyle/eating habits and activity/exercise to lose the weight. If you are just doing a temporary change to lose the weight, you can't expect it to stay off forever if you revert back to old comfortable habits when you reach your goal. Don't ban some of your favorite treats, just eat…

Hi-haven't read all the comments but I went to a link mentioned in the forums yesterday that has "tools" to calculate things like your BMI, BMR, Body Fat estimate, and Goal Weight: http://www.fat2fittools.com/tools/ I used the highest percentage in my age/goal range to calculate where I should be pound-wise. Then I used…

How about introducing your mom to MFP? Maybe she will get to reading the forums and learn more about healthy eating. But DON'T tell her who you are because she would likely follow you. Maybe she'll poke around trying to guess who you are but pause to read other comments and even find some friends.

Toss the pulp into stews and chilis for added fiber. Always some nutrition left in the pulp. Add fruit pulp to muffins.

Have only read about half of the thread but definitely bullying. Your school should have a policy on this. Next time they say something to you, get out your cell phone where they see it and ask them to repeat what they just said as you have been recording all their comments, emails and other actions because you are being…

If you like the super creamy taste/texture in your coffee-try this: Nestle Media Crema Ligera. It is a canned light cream found in the Hispanic/Mexican food section of grocery stores. 20 calories per tablespoon, 2 grams of fat. If you want flavor with it, add something like nutmeg or cinnamon, or extracts like vanilla. If…
