I tore a tendon off and broke a chip off my bone at the joint on my last digit of my left pinky at a concert during a fall one year. Had to have surgery. Did you have surgery? What tendons did you tear?

Thank you. Would you like to friend me? I can't do the challenges but I will be posting daily and helping to support others, as I have done in the past. :) congrats to you on your achievements and Happy New Year!

Hi. You can add me if you like. Read my post and let me know if I fit your friend idea. I'm committed, though I do waiver, but my goal is to get this darn weight off and eat more healthy. warning: chocolate.....or binging a bit on not so good food but while on MFP I try to keep it under control--it's a great site. I've…

sex is exercise. You need to make sure you are eating properly so you don't get sick.

cut out soda! It's horribly bad for you. It took me a year to stop drinking it altogether. I drink 2 liters of water a day (since Jan 2011) and 1-2 cups of coffee a day (usually 1). Occasionally, I'll have some orange juice. No other sugary drinks at all.

Being here is a good start. I've been here 2 weeks and lost about 2 lbs. It takes a bit of determination....I am a bit crankier than usual, sort of have small temper tantrums (all by myself) when I tell myself that I can't just go and eat what I feel like now because I have a goal. I need to stick with it. It isn't always…

Black beans and rice with a fried egg. yummy--Cuban style!

How about this? I just created these two meals: Not sure if they're cheap enough: 1....ITALIAN RICE: 2 cups of rice, one 14.5 oz Hunts basil garlic diced tomatoes (entire can), 8 oz bella mushrooms (chopped chunkly), 4 cups of water, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/2 teaspoon oregano, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon…

Cool! Thank you!

Chicken picata? Don't know the calorie count. Maybe something without sauces?

Thanks. I keep forgetting about lettuce wrapping. LOL.

I have gout and can't eat bread often because of the yeast. So here's how I cope: I eat pancakes (1/3 cup of bisquick per pancake), rice cakes, or flour tortillas. If the fast food people can do it, so can I. I make a breakfast tortilla...egg and cheese. Or, I do a lunch tortilla. You can even make a flour tortilla pizza…

I have a red pepper...Thanks. I'll throw that in too. :)

That sounds good too. :) May try it. I've seen chefs on the cooking channels "roasting" cauliflower, saying the browning has an awesome taste.

Thank you. I don't have a food processor but need to get one because I try to make lima bean hummus in my blender and it's not so easy. I like the looks of your recipe and may try it. I like how MFP calculates everything for the recipes entered. Take care.

I'm sorry you are in pain. This is a medical question for a medical site? My father was diagnosed with chronic lymphocytic leukemia via hair sample analysis because no other test showed anything. Maybe you can mention this to your doctor? I hope you feel better soon and get to the core issue of the pain.

I have to pack my lunch three days a week. Though I have to stay away from bread (anything with yeast), I found that making a sandwich out of a flour tortilla works well. I can make a breakfast tortilla or meat/cheese/veggie. Wrap it in foil and put an ice pack in my lunch bag. I bring yogurt. I pack my roasted vegetables…

I have an Android phone and the app works well with it. I just used the barcode scanner (accidentally) the other night and it was very cool and actually helped because it was package sushi. Very cool! It's good to have MFP at your fingertips while away from home.

I started here Friday and I find it hard to find foods that are within the fat/protein/sugar requirements and still get all the calories/carbs allotted. Can you tell me what foods (besides cucumbers at 1/4 cup) that are not in any sugar/protein/fat category that are carbs? I'm having a bit of trouble with it. I thought…

Sounds delicious! TY

Okay, I'm addicted to too many things but right now I don't feel any of them...I'M HYPED ON MFP and the DESIRE TO LOSE WEIGHT BIGTIME....So I'll not focus on those but focus on trying to get these meals to fit properly in the allotments. I hope we all make our goals. :)

Time to be unaddicted? I'm here to lose weight (again)....I am pumped because this site seems awesome. I'm going to make it be a success. I hope you can too! :)

I don't know how to add friends yet...Can you add me? I just joined Friday. Thank you.
