CONGRATULATIONS! That's amazing!! ...to both of you! I must say, I was feeling a bit discouraged these last couple of days, but seeing your post has motivated me again! THANK YOU! :flowerforyou:

Thanks so much guys! It is frustrating, but you're right. I know I'm losing, I feel/see a difference, that's all that should matter. ...well and my husband notices, I guess that should be extremely important! :happy: He seems to be the only supportive one, though!

Helloooooooo ladies!!! Sorry I've been a bit MIA! I've not checked in here, but I've also not fallen off the wagon. Just been very very busy. I'm still losing consistently! :drinker: Dana: I'm soo sorry to hear about all that's been going on! (((hugs))) Best of luck with your surgery and I hope your son has a quick…

Awww Stacey :brokenheart: I hope you can work something out and keep her!! I'm an animal lover! We have a little Maltese(Emily). :heart: I, too, was impatient. We really didn't have the money at the time, but I saw her and couldn't wait. Broke the bank. I had originally planned to get a rescue, but I just could NOT resist…

CONGRATULATIONS!! way to go, i'm so proud of you! isn't it so much more motivating when you reach a mini-goal?! :drinker:

GREAT ideas, slimkitty! i love the idea about the tricep dips! i try and do them sporadically thoughout the day on our ottoman. i've not been doing much for exercise...at least not as much as i should. our treadmill is downstairs and it's just not easy to get down there during the day with my 6 month old. but i got an…

slimkitty - welcome!!! :flowerforyou: stacey - i am CONSTANTLY having to declutter my kitchen! it seems i always keep it decluttered through the week. the weekend comes and it's a cluttered mess again. i blame it on my husband! :wink: amy(amypyr) - i can't believe i never thought of making chicken nuggets that way! let me…

ooooh my! so i made the "chicken crunch" and it was SOOOO good! my husband overdid it and had 2 helpings. i really wasn't so sure at first, but we thought it came out GREAT! i ended up adding peas to it. i realized if you add peas and maybe carrots, it would taste like a chicken pot pie! :tongue: i hope everyone has a…

Yeah, I decided to omit the butter altogether. I've not tried panko bread crumbs! In fact, I've never heard of them, but I'll definitely look for them. Thank you SO much! I'm making this tonight, I'll let you know how it turns out! I made Salsa Chicken in the crockpot/slow cooker yesterday and we had it for dinner last…

Determination is the key! At least for me it is. Just wondering if anyone knows what they are having for dinner? Another plus for me that comes with this LIFESTYLE CHANGE(that's what I am convincing myself it is - NOT a diet), is that I am actually cooking more and trying new recipes. I found this one and was wondering how…

Stacey: I'm so sorry to hear you have the flu, but glad it's nothing more!! Get LOTS of rest. Happy to hear you have great sitters, too! And no worries about me - I don't feel horrible EVERY day. It's hard to explain, but you just kinda get used to it, which is what I meant by "normalcy". BUT I have just as many good days…

i made strawberry cupcakes over the weekend - they turned out to be 90 calories. just a package of strawberry cake mix + a can of diet cherry 7-up. they were sooooo yummy! :love: oh! and just bake as you normally would, as directed on the box.

HOLY GRANOLY!!! :noway: that IS a bit expensive!! i'll search out craigslist, too!! lol

I'm going to check that out, that you so much!! I love dancing and I love kickboxing!

Stacey: Thanks so much for the suggestions, Stacey! I MISS being on my treadmill. Before I became pregnant, I would run morning and night. I thought about it this morning. My husband works odd hours and umpires during baseball season. So I've not really had a chance to get on it. BUT, I plan to make time. Even if I have to…

oh wow, Amy! a miracle child indeed! though he does have a long road of recovery ahead of him, i am so happy to hear he didn't suffer futher damage. God is definitely amazing! :heart:

thank you so much, Amy! i definitely plan on going for walks - as soon as our darn weather starts to cooperate. it's FINALLY starting to get warmer, but it's also been raining. i think today may be a perfect day for it, though! :happy:

Yes it's DEFINITELY much easier! I'm not a baker AT ALL! That's why I love it. Just the package of cake mix + a can of diet soda!! Bake as directed on the box. You can mix and match whatever flavors you want. I can't wait to try more either!! :tongue:

Hello everyone! I would love to join you...if you'll have me! :) I joined this site last year after my first pregnancy that ended in a loss at 5 months(our first baby boy). :( I had only been on here a few weeks when we learned I was pregnant again. I spent the entire pregnancy on "modified" bedrest. Our son ended up being…

oooh they are my weakness right now! i made some on saturday with a pillsbury super moist strawberry mix + diet cherry 7-up! they were/are sooooo good!! still good and moist 3 days later and i'm surprised i still have any left. i'll admit, i gave in and tried the batter, too. then i couldn't keep out of it! this was my…

How devastating! :( I'm so sorry to hear this. Thoughts and prayers for all of you! (((hugs)))

I agree. Something I sometimes do is ask for a "to go" box after I get my meal, then put half of it in the box BEFORE I eat!

the co-worker who made them has pets - lots of them. the main ingredient in those cookies are dog hair!!!! :sick:

I just tried a new one tonight and my husband and I loooooved it! I used frozen boneless, skinless chicken breasts. I poured the corn flakes in a large baggie to crush them. We couldn't even tell they were made with cornflakes! CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN 1 frying chicken, cut into serving pieces 1 c. skim milk 1 c. corn flakes 1…

I'm SOOOO making this tonight! Thanks, Kelly! :flowerforyou:

:glasses: yikes

AGREED! :flowerforyou:

OMG YUM! :tongue:

bump bump bo bump! :flowerforyou:

THIS sounds good, too! Thanks guys! Thanks, rayneenie! I'd thought about just not worrying about it, but I KNOW I'll feel guilty tomorrow! I'm going to "try" and stay within my calorie range, we'll see how it goes!
