Megamom: What brand sunscreen do you use? I'm looking for a good everyday sunscreen, that doesn't smell like the beach! I love the beach, but don't really want to smell like I've been there everyday!! Thanks!:smile:

Thanks for the laughs this morning!!!! :laugh:

Wow!!! Talk about seeing progress!! You must be so proud!! Keep up the great work!!! :happy: :flowerforyou:

Take a chance!!! You probably will be pleasantly suprised!! :bigsmile: I haven't gotten there yet but really anticipate it!! :love: A friend went to Cato's to the plus size side "where I always go" and tried on some clothes and they were way to big!! She then walked over to the "Regular" size side of the store and…

Great Attitude!!!!

I eat some type of breakfast bar....I usually keep one or two in my purse or bag and a piece of fruit. I personally like Nature Valley Chewy Trail Mix--Fruit and Nut and Dark Chocolate and Nut. Can't get much easier than this!

My grandpa once told me to boil them in salt....I usually put them in a pot and add water to almost cover them and add salt to taste.. I do the same thing whether fresh or frozen. Not real imaginative.....I have thought of sprinkling shredded cheese on them once placed on plate????

Way to go!! I looked at your pictures and you have really made a difference! Keep up the good work!! :flowerforyou:

As my mama always told me: Kill 'em with kindness :laugh: .........and just flash a big grin and walk away!! :bigsmile: It really makes them wonder what you are grinning about!!

Tiffany you look great!! :bigsmile: I'd have to say you've made that lifetime change!!!! :flowerforyou:

You could find low cal bread and turkey or some kind of lunch meat and make a sandwich. I had a corned beef on rye bread with mustard the other day for breakfast...200 calories.... You could also carry fruit to go with your sandwich or some low fat crackers like Triscuits or something. Best of luck and Congratulations!! on…

CONGRATULATIONS!!! :drinker:

We grill them.....we add pepper, garlic salt, seasoning salt, or even Mrs. Dash seasonings...most any kind of seasoning will work! The more seasoning the less "porky" it tastes! :laugh:

I just read your profile info....Wow you have been through a lot, but you seem to be on the right track! Welcome to MFP! This is an amazing site....it was a big dose of reality for me...to see how much I was actually eating!! Good Grief...sometimes I was eating over 3000 calories in one day... I've taken my life back and…

I understand what you are saying!!! :happy: And I agree....that's what I love about this site... It's a great guide for relearning how to eat right and be healthy! The weight I have lost is all about watching the calories going in and the exercise to burn them off...and just how many doctors have told me that AND just how…

I finally stopped worrying about the carb count on here....I try to limit my starches..potatoes, rice, bread...so long as you are losing don't beat yourself up over it!:happy:

I eat the Special K Pecan and Cinnamon cereal on the weekends (when I don't work) and eat a Nature Valley chewy fruit and nut bar or a Quaker chewy low fat bar of some sort--my favorite is Oatmeal Raisen, during the week when I have to go to work...Then I will eat a piece of fruit if I get hungry before lunch... I also…

I find it hard to get started too :ohwell: .....I usually talk myself into going outside to feed the horses and dogs, take the trash out and then once I get outside and start moving I just keep on walking! :laugh: You shouldn't consider it exercise...think of it as just spending time with your child...get a ball of some…

Welcome! This site is fabulous!! It has truly helped me to take control of my eating! I'm in Georgia too! Near Valdosta....I look forward to watching you and your daughter's success!:flowerforyou: :happy:

Welcome! Life is brighter here in the Sunshine! Congratulations :flowerforyou: on the 20 pounds lost! I am sooo looking forward to my 1st 20! I feel amazing just having lost the 12 I have so far!! I feel such a sense of accomplishment knowing that I have lost this much with just my willpower and some exercise! AND NO…

Welcome!! :flowerforyou: I love this site and it has surely helped me with my weight loss journey! Sorry to hear about so many back surgeries but sounds like you are ready to get back to your exercising! Look forward to seeing your success! You can add me as a friend if you would like... :smile:

I don't know which is the best scale to weigh on, but I just weigh on the same scale, at the same time, on the same day of the week each time. That's how I judge my weight loss. I want to lose enough, so that when I go back to my doctor in the near future she will SEE the difference regardless what her scale says!! :laugh:

"Who would have thought that it doesn't take gimmicky diets, pills, supplements and shakes to lose weight. All it takes is a little accountability and data recording. " I LOVE THIS!!! I have been amazed at how easy I have found it this way of "living" to be!!! Thanks for sharing your story...Keep us informed!! :happy:

Congratulations!!!! :flowerforyou: Way to go!! I've been doing this about 2 months and have lost 10lbs and have found it to be the best and easiest way to lose weight! Keep up the good work!!! :bigsmile:

Awsome!!! So do you find that this site has helped you??? I have been using this site and making my "life change" since January 19, 2010 and I have lost 10 pounds just by cutting my calories and walking more. I find being able to go on here and read about other people--successes and trials makes me more motivated! Keep up…

WOO!! HOO!!!!

Sounds like you are doing wonderfully!! I personally haven't set any mini goals....Im in this for life and get too discouraged if I miss a goal. I have only lost 9 lbs in about 1 1/2 months...I'm in no big hurry...I can feel a difference in my body and see a difference in my clothes and I am LOVING it! I only walk about 30…
