Strawberry Banana Smoothie

I LOVE Skinny Pop popcorn. I used to derail at the end of my work day on my long ride home. Now, I have 1- 100 calorie bag of Skinny Pop every day on my way home. This satisfies my urge for munching on the way home and keeps me from devouring everything in sight once I get home.

Hi, I'm 54 years old and just started using mfb again a little over a month ago. I could sure use some incentive from others my age. Can I join your group?

Count me in as well. SW 171 CW 161.4 GW 130 GW by 7/4 141.4

I'll have to check it out. Thanks!

I just have to make sure that I have a snack that's satisfying enough to sustain me. I crank the tunes to keep my mind from food.

I have given up white, refined carbs. I now find myself getting full on much less calories and having a lot more energy!

I had trouble staying within my calorie count while enjoying carbs. That led to yo-yo weight gain. Now I have made a promise to myself to avoid any 'white' carbs. By cutting white rice, breads and such from my diet and finding more whole grain alternatives, I finally find myself getting full and no longer miss the other…

And now done!

I'm in!

Amazing progress!! You look great!

I love my old fashioned oatmeal for breakfast. I love the chewy pop they make between your teeth. Never have tried the steel cut and don't enjoy the quick style at all. My six year old would not touch oatmeal, just a week or two ago, she decided to give it a try and now we enjoy our chewy oatmeal together every morning!…

In my opinion a diet that is too strict only leads to binging. A ifestyle change should allow all things in moderation. I have been having a chocolate kind of week. As for onions, I can't imagine why a person would not be allowed to eat them. They are low cal and loaded with healthy antioxidants!

Very interesting, thanks for sharing.

This is indeed wonderful information to share. My quality of life has improved greatly since I choose my foods mroe carefully and try to stay active. It is also vital to my health to stay on track with getting a good night's sleep. I'm afraid sleep is my biggest struggle right now with all of the celebrations that have…

Your doctor should have congratulated you on your progress thus far and your new helathier lifestyle & asked if there was any way he cold help you in the process. I would defintiely make a complaint to the clinic and look for another doctor. This was years ago, but I went to a very obese doctor with a nervous tic. My baby…

cgriffin- Congrats on the plateau break!! :flowerforyou: Marybeth- I don't usually weigh in a weight gain either, because I know I have followed the diet close enough and worked out, any gain should be temporary and when that water leaves the body I will be back down to where I was (and hopefully lower) :laugh:

Oops, I didn't weigh in this weekend. I was busy walking twelve miles on Saturday around three beautiful Minneapolis lakes, then off to our beautiful north country for some fun. I lost one pound this week, bringing my wieght to 124.

They will be n my prayers. It is so heartbreaking when the little ones are taken so soon.

Wow, yoou have3 been aking some great decisions. Hooray for your long walk into town. I just walked 11 miles today and while my friends are amazed I could even do it, I just feel great that I got up and went. Keep living the good life!! :flowerforyou:

My wedding is just a few short weeks away........June 19th. I reached my original goal a few months ago and had hoped to lose about five more pounds before the wedding date, but will be happy if I don't. My son's wedding was just last weekend & even though it was a weekend filled with food, cocktails, cake & 20 hours of…

When my kids were younger we made cake mix cookies alot. The kids could do by themselves........so easy and the varieties are endless!

Sounds DELICIOUS! I will have to try these. Thanks! :love:

:flowerforyou: Yum, I don't love dates, but it might be good all mixed together.....maybe will use raisins.

Wow, I usually only burn about 200 on my workouts. Now I am feeling slightly sluggish.................. :noway:

Great accomplishment. Way to go!! :flowerforyou:

Great way to explain it. I eat off and on throughout the day. When I am hungry, I snakc and I try to make sure to always have healthy, low calorie snacks on hand. It seems to keep my metabolism higher. My sister always gets mad because I eat more than her and lose weight. I think it is the snacks in between. Hopefully, if…

Now that is willpower. We had cookies and muffins in the other morning. I ate two cookies and did almost 500 calories of damage. The muffins were over 600 calories each! Good thing we don't have goodies all the time!

ON Christmas day my brother asked me if I was pregnant again. :explode: GGRRRRR.but hey it (along with my upcoming wedding) was all the motivation I needed.

Have a wonderful time, eat sensibly and fill your time with 'active' fun! See you when you get back. :flowerforyou:
