Welcome FarmAngel! You have found a great site. You will meet lots of great people who will help you with any questions or encouragement you may need. I have also found that you can set up the food diary to track different health needs - I use it to help track my cholesterol, but you can also use it for protein, sugar or…

Welcome to MFP! This is the best place to help you on your journey to success. Think of it as a life change & not a diet. You will also meet lots of great people who are here to help you on your journey. I didn't eat breakfast before - infact, I saved most of my meals for the evenings - since I've been here I've learned to…

Pasta was always my weak point. I used to sit down with a big bowl of spaghetti with just butter on until I realized how many calories I was eating. It is true, 2 oz. dry is a serving. I weigh mine out so that I don't cook extra - I know left overs would be too tempting. I also tried making spaghetti squash and doctoring…

I'm eating 3 meals and 1-2 snacks a day since I've been on MFP. Most meals are around 250-350 calories and the snacks are usually around 100 each. So I'm easily reaching my 1200 calories a day and by spreading it out I'm not feeling hungry as I once used to. On days I have a bigger meal planned I normally don't need the…

I'm reading The Shack by William P. Young. Wish I could spend more time reading it then I've been able to devote so far.

tomorrow is another day...as for today, the corned beef & cabbage couldn't have tasted any better. I'm planning on exercising extra tonight to make up for it. My only problem is after controlling myself and keeping the servings normal size and not over eating - when can I eat the left over meals I have made up?

I have been using the Wii faithfully for 2 months now and love it. When I started using the Wii Fit - I wasn't sure how to keep the calories, so I was marking it as light arobics or cardio for however long I exercised. When I started using the Wii Fit Plus I made my own Wii exercise name on MFP and just need to adjust the…

Love my Wii Fit Plus! It's helped me get back into exercising after my daughter went to college. So much so we are planning to pick up another Wii & everything so she can take it next year when she's in an apartment. We are watching the prices at the local GameStop to purchase used items - saves $ that way. :flowerforyou:…

Welcome Kelly :happy: you found the right place to come. I joined MFP a month ago, along with my husband, mother and 2 dear friends whom I havesn't seen in 15 years, but have kept in touch with. I find this place to be both motivational and informational. I was a stay at home mom until 3 years ago when my daughter turned…

Thanks for sharing that was really interesting.

I came across it last week when I was planning on going out to eat. I've learned to figure out what I'm going to order before I walk out of the house. Saves time at the restaurant plus you aren't surprised when you get home again and enter it into MFP. Most, but not all places have nutritional information on their website…

I currently have been using the Wii Fitness for the past 3 weeks and have lost 8 lbs. I go through the Yoga & Strength Training for about 10 minutes and then do the Arobics for the next 20. I have the Wii Fit Plus, but haven't started to use it yet. My daughter just informed me tonight that the Plus keeps track of the…

I don't know about the Jillian 2010 game - a friend said she didn't like it as much. I just checked & saw they have the Wii Fit Plus at Toys R Us on-line. I have it, but I'm still working out with the regular Wii Fitness before I start using it. My daughter told me the AE exercise one is one the best. Another place to look…

I've been using the Wii Fit and it seems to be working with me so far. My daughter used Wii Fit, Fit Plus & the AE one also and said the AE game/exercises give you more of a workout. I'm working my way up to it, but slowly. I've only gotten into this 3 weeks ago. Have to break all of her records on the other ones to feel…

You can do it. I know what you mean by being so excited after the first week - I lost almost 5 lbs that first week - second week didn't go so quickly, but that is a good thing. The faster you lose the possibilities is you will gain it back. Think of it as changing a lifestyle, not a diet. Also, when you are down think of…

Hi Supermel, I just did a good search & found the recipe & the nutritional information at this site: http://www.recipezaar.com/hearty-turkey-chili-from-weight-watchers-404561 My husband did WW 8 years ago and he has told me that this stie is so much easier to keep track with the calories and with exercising. Good luck!
