I found a meal worm in a can of corn when I was a kid ...... I didn't eat corn for 20 years :noway:

I got what I asked for from hubby :happy: Memory sticks, 3 of em, 2 gb each for my camera , so I can take lots of pics while we are back home. My son made me a painting at school. My step-daughters came over to say Happy Mother's Day (something they didn't tell their mother and they live with her :ohwell: ) and my…

We are leaving Friday after hubby gets off work, I can't wait ! :love:

We don't mind at all hun! Thank you for stopping in and offering some wonderful support and inspiration :flowerforyou:

Happy Mother's Day to all the Moms here ! Well, hubby has jumped on board and I'm glad. It's not about the weight but the health and I want him around for as long as possible. And since he is a trained Chef it really helps me with new menu ideas and stopping the bordem of the same things over and over again. I talked to my…

We are going to TN to visit my parents next week and staying for 2 weeks so that will have to be her gift lol. We haven't seen her in about 4 years, so her grandson can be her gift lol :laugh: . My dad it's been 7 years. Last time mom came up dad stayed home with the other kids. I can't wait to get home and spend some time…

Thank you everyone for the prayers. They are greatly appreciated.:flowerforyou: Paddlemom!! Your just down the road from me, we're in Clarkson. By the way I'm not sure which grocery stores you can actually buy the gobblers at. I got mine at Metro, I've yet to see them at Food Basics just he normal burger and nature burger…

Well, the scale says down 3 lbs. which I'm okay with. Although I do have T.O.M right now so it may actually be a bigger loss. I got another call from my mom. The dr's have done further testing and this cancer is the same type my dad had back in 98'. It's too far advanced and spreading too rapidly for treatment so they were…

Paddlemom and I are both in Mississauga, Ontario, Canada. There is a grocery chain here that carries "Blue Menu" items. They are lower in calories and fat. Lick's Gobblers - Lick's is a restraunt here in Canada. They make regular beef burgers as well as veggie and turkey. The Gobbler is their turkey burger. You can buy it…

One evening a husband, thinking he was being funny, said to his wife, 'Perhaps we should start washing your clothes in 'Slim Fast'. Maybe it would take a few inches off of your butt!' His wife was not amused, and decided that she simply couldn't let such a comment go unrewarded. The next morning the husband took a pair of…

Good Morning everyone, I hope you have a wonderful day :flowerforyou: My battery died on my scale so I'm a little peeved this morning. Off to the dollorama after I take my son to school, to get batteries. paddlemom - I have tried the blue menu burgers and they are good. The Lick's Gobblers are the turkey burger I had and…

1/2 C Egg Creations 2 tbs. Salsa slice cheddar and1 piece ww bread toasted ahh dont forget my timmy's coffee - large 2 milk 2 sweetner 245 cals.

Good Morning Everyone! Ya know, my hubby thinks I am pulling this "weight-loss thing" to the extreme. Like I can't enjoy a cook-out with my family because I chose a turkey burger rather that a full fat 700 cal beef burger..... it bugs me, but it won't stop me. So I told him lastnight, I'll stop mentioning how many…

Hey Everyone ! Just checking in to say I hope your all having a wonderful day! :flowerforyou:

Oh hunny, lol I hate cleaning with a passion , but I'll gladly slave out my teenage step-kids, they work for food lol. Offer them a pizza or 5 bucks and they are there!! So, I snuck a peek at the scale today even though my weigh-in isn't until Thursday. Why thursday you might ask, well thats the day I decided to get off my…

Well, the weekend has went well so far. No problems with the eatting and I scrubbed house all day yesterday. from 10am til about 6 last night. No, my house wasn't completely disgusting , but we did some spring cleaning. Went thru old clothes of the kids to be trashed or donated, cleaned under and behind anything that can…

Well, today has been a good day. I can honestly say, this time is it. I've always doubted myself before, doubted the lifestyle change, and just knew I'd fail in general. But not this time. I'm not really even tempted. I tempted myself with a timbit (doughnut hole) yesterday. I ate it .... and didn't enjoy it. So I said "…

I'm so sorry. My prayers are with you :flowerforyou:

Hey Everyone! First, Welcome to all our new members, it's great to have you all! Sorry I haven't checked in for a bit. Things have been so busy this week. I am baby-sitting my best friends daughters ( 11 months and 3 yrs) this week plus my 3 nephews (4,9 and 13) after school. I start at 6:15 am and have not been getting…

no sorry, I know it's a pain sometimes but different meal ya gotta look it up again to add it to breakfast.

During my TOM my scale usualy shows a gain. My body is sooooooo bad for holding water, being bloated and swollen during this time. So I try to stay away from the scale :laugh: Also, being as big as we are we do tend to lose weight quicker , but sooner or later it's gonna slow down. Perhaps with the spring weather so nice…

Hi everyone, hope everyone is doing well. Had my weigh-in this morning and last week lost another 4 lbs. bringing me to 17 lbs. lost in the 2 1/2 weeks I've been back to MFP. A good start and I can't wait to see the scale move some more and my clothes fallin off :bigsmile:

I made these tonight, and they were awesome! I didn't have any taco seasoning, so I seasoned mine by sprinkling a bit of onion salt, garlic powder, ground cumin, paprika, & chili powder and followed the rest of the recipe Mmm mmm good. We had ours over brown rice.

Thank you all for the kind words and support. He's a fighter and he's hoping against hope. My grandmother (his mother) was given 2 years when she had bone cancer and lived another 7 years. So I'm sure mamaw is in his thoughts during this time pressing him on.

Thank you Kristi, I appreciate it. My sister is trying to help me get home. So hopefully soon I will be able to see my dad.

Hi farrellm, and welcome. I'm sure you will find loads of support and friendship here. Not just with weight-loss issues but everyday life issues as well. :flowerforyou:

I also use laughing cow cheese in mine to add a creaminess and extra flavour :bigsmile:
