I am starting my week two tonight in C25K I love this app and has helped me a lot. I have literally gone from struggling to walk, sit bend and lift before my journey here a month ago due to a back injury and I am now running?!! seemed impossible at the time. I am thrilled to see all you wonderful people using the same app…

Nova Scotia!! :)

Beep! <---is this just a Canadian thing? Beep was/is the ****!! They just brought it back to stores last year, I nearly passed out in excitement :D

Great work!!! Add me if you would like, I am on a lot and always offering support :)

I tend to be more hard on myself for little things like grabbing a slice of pizza for supper and my friends are quick to say...hey no big deal, log and move on. So for me, it's opposite, I personally feel I could potentially develop an unhealthy relationship with food if it wasn't for my friends saying "hey get over it,…

You just described my life. I can relate to all these issues. It can really hurt when the people you thought were there for you are no longer giving you the support you need in a friendship. Sometimes it's not always an unfortunate side effect. You may have hit a point where your friends are no longer meaning well and…

Everyone is different and everyone has a back story for you it seems. I am no different, slipped disc and damaged ligaments in lower back due to work injury. Listen to your body, stop when you hurt and push forward when you can tolerate. Find a way to strengthen your core as best as you can because your back will rely on…

You can use just boneless skinless breasts n do the same thing. Instead of putting the rosemary n garlic under the skin ... chop the garlic n cut up the rosemary with kitchen sears ... then put into a small bowl sprinkle salt n ground (or cracked) pepper in the bowl as well ... then add maybe a 4th of a cup of EVO oil to…

Thank you, sounds great!

I can roast a whole chicken and turns out nice, I guess I was thinking more about boneless skinless breast meat more so. However I noticed a lot of people use lemon and I never thought to stuff it with yams and carrots, usually just celery and onion. Thanks for the tips :) I do love a whole roasted chicken!

I apologize for my lack of skills when it comes to certain foods, you didn't really need to take the time to write anything at all if you were annoyed by my question. Thanks for stopping by and adding your input it's only chicken...no need to be hostile :laugh:

Anyone feel free to add me :) I am a mom of two, pushing through a back injury, gained a little weight and now after 29 days on MFP I'm down 7lbs! I owe a lot to my MFP friends and their support and I'm always here for others. We are all on here for one common goal, to improve and feel good

I have covered my baking dish with tinfoil never thought to cover the actual chicken with seasonings, I will try that for sure :)

I do like chicken, I didn't say I didn't I am just not good at cooking it :) I do prefer fish but I like a lot of food and a lot of meals with chicken in it. I just like to mix things up and if I can learn ways to cook chicken that I enjoy I would love to incorporate more into my diet.

just awesome!!!! Good for you!! That is a beautiful dress hope you're day is beyond perfect :)

Great responses and great ideas. I'm sure a lot of it is my cooking method, I tend to over cook chicken in fear of poisoning my family LOL and I grew up on rawhide steaks and pork chop hockey pucks....I love you mom hahaha I will give some of these ideas a try and change things up. I love using my slow cooker in the winter…

QFT [/quote] Dumb question...what does QFT mean?? [/quote] Quote For Truth [/quote] Ahhhh Thank you I would never have guessed that one :)

Dumb question...what does QFT mean??

I don't think you blew it, log and move on. You're human and you're bound to have some ups and downs. Don't be hard on yourself :) It's a new week :)

In my experience as someone who couldn't put any weight on when I was young and was terribly underweight growing up, when I got into my 'impressionable years' and into my early 20's I used to get comments like "gee must be nice to be a size zero" in a rude tone from complete strangers in changing rooms at the mall. If i…

Processed foods, pop, all fast food, and the biggest one for me is SUGAR..I was the biggest sugar addict I can't believe I don't have diabetes and I'm sure my body is still going through shock! I don't use any butter or added salt on my foods either. Lucky for me I love the taste of whole foods without dressing them up a…

10 years this past February that I quit, best thing I've ever done for myself! Good for you it is a very hard task to take on and it's truly a day by day process. It gets easier and the pay offs are so worth it! Good on you !!! :happy:

Your sister would be very proud of you as we all are of you!! You CAN do it because you have the determination and you see the victory in those little steps it takes to get there! Keep pushing forward each day. I hope your move to Florida goes well and you can get to enjoy the pool and get cooking some new healthy choices…

Yes I do, I log it all, that way I am mindful of everything all day every day :)

@Borst13 That one was for the guy above you but you chimed in just in time...took one for the team! Atta girl ;)

2 cases of Preparation H

You can mail order cheesecake???????????????? SWEET MOTHER OF GOD I hope that's only in the United States!

"Are you going to eat that left over bacon?" Said nobody...ever!! :laugh:

I am here everyday and always ready to support my friends on their journey feel free to add :)

@Annie nailed it! Some people will never know the struggles of any kind of mental struggles and disorders and they should count themselves lucky they don't get it, but don't judge someone for their feelings and struggles. Mental illness, depression and anxiety are really close to home for me as i have family members who i…
