I buy the almonds at Costco and keep them in the freezer. That way they stay nice and fresh. I take a little container to work for the week. I think mixing them with a piece of fruit makes it a heartier snack and keeps in line woth the diabetic way of mixing your fat, carb and protein the right way. I think that's why it…

Weight chart.com has an awesome set up with current and past charting as well as a 'milestone" section for the future. I have my goals set out at a pound a week until I meet my goal and it is truly inspirational to see the graph move depending upon my progress (or lack there of!).

I just had a cheat 3 months.

I want off my statin. I read that it is dangerous to stop suddenly. I am positive that it has caused a 20 pound weight gain. I have been on a diet and weight in regularly and can corrolate my gains with when I started on the meds. And they make me feel horrible. My Dr. refuses to switch me to some thing else and my liver…

Are you on any medications? I started on astatin and gained 20 lbs. since November Dr. Doesn't believe me and wont take me off them. It is apparently dangerous to stop taking them on your own.

Here is a tip- Microwave the veggies then cool before freezing. This is my fast and easy version of my MIL's blanching.

It's difficult when you are trying to stay away from so much processed foods. It's so bad for you. i cringe lately when walking the frozen food section. What has happened to our society?

I have been on a statin since November. I have gained 20 pounds since November while on a weight loss regimen. Coincidence? My liver levels have shot up as well. I believe that I am gaining weight because my liver is not functioning as efficiently as it could be because of the meds. I want to go off the statin but I have…

I have book I am going to email you. You can smoke while you read it. It worked for me, I love to share it.

Just plain old baked chicken thighs. I bake them on a rack over a cookie sheet so the oil drains and they roast really nicely that way.

Where is this magical button?

I miss my wine but it sure is nice to up my food intake and still lose weight without the booze.

I drink too much wine. It is the number 1 cause of my weight loss issues. I too am ready for a break.

Skinny people go on vacation, gain weight then take it off as soon as they get back. You're one of them now!

1 tsp is for a quart. But seriously, the more, the merrier!

I peel the big ones and put in quart jars then process with 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp lemon jiuce. The littler ones I just throw in the food processor and give a rough chop, peels and all. Same thing with the salt and lemon. I do about half in quart jars and half in pint jars as once opened they dont last long. But like I said,…

Jets fans here! We are making baked chicken wings with buffalo sauce and a salad for ourselves. Grilled sausages for the friends. I am so scared!!!

Welcome! I did the opposite. I found the site then later started using the app on the road. The people who created this site did a great job.

I too have done WW several times. Sure I lost 50 lbs in a year but I gained it all back. I got to the point where I was irritated by the whole point thing. This works much better for me. Sure I only lost 15 pounds last year but I didnt gain them back.

Just getting the holidays out of the way will be a huge help to me. I do well all year and start to slide in November and it doesnt seem to get any easier until the new year. It is going to take me until April to weigh what I did in early November. That sucks!

Where do you do this? I dont see it in the settings.

I think I will try putting in a frozen chicken on low all day and see what happens. I am gone for 10 hours at work and if I set my cooker for 2 hours on high, it will kick over to "warm" for the rest of the day and that usually works out just fine.

Welcome! You are going to love whst this site has to offer. I turned a friend onto it and she lost 25 pounds since June and she doesnt post or even log her weight. She just quietly uses the journal and calorie counter. So you can be as involved as you want or not, it's all goood!

hmmmm, thanks road dog!

It is a life changing experience, giving up caffeine. You really should try it.

I had a girl ask me if she could have my seat in the front of a ride at universal studios and when I said no she said she was going to kick my azz.

Thanks! You guys rock! Way to go on the drinking and smoking or lack thereof! I quit smoking 2 years ago but still have to work on the booze. Good for you!

You won it but you have to pay for it? If it is anything like the plants they sell it will suck.

I have a WW scale that does grams and ounces. I bought some measuring cups that have a little pooring spout on the edge. I fill the cup size with milk in the morning for my coffee. They are from betty crocker and are adorable.

I have learned that my failures and how I adjust for them are just as important to my journey as my successes. It makes me stand up and take notice.
