Ok, here it goes: A variation on the Swedish "Half Special" - Grilled hot dog on a bun with brown mustard, marinated cucumbers and onions, and mashed potatoes. (Yes, the potatoes go on top of the hot dog.) Grilled cheese sandwich with a fried egg in between the melted cheese. Only American cheese though. The more processed…

Dear MFP, Mike, Al, and community members, Thank you for giving me back my life. Love, Me

It's the toxicity of the alcohol and your liver's desire to rid your body of the alcohol, before it process stored fat. The liver can only do so many things at once. If you feed it alcohol, it will burn that before it begins to metabolize fat. From femalemuscle.com: "The primary problem with all alcohol, regardless of what…

I agree with needamulligan - after you've reached your goal weight, there is no reason not to resume drinking alcohol gradually. At that point, you've worked off the fat, and weight loss is no longer the focus. I suggested it to the OP as a way to break a plateau in her weight loss. The claim isn't that alcohol causes…

I take chicken breasts or strips, put them in a small pyrex, and cover with my favorite spicy salsa and bake at 350. Then roast or grill some veggies like squash, peppers, onions, tomatoes, etc. with garlic, jalapeno, and lime, and have it all over quinoa with a little plain yogurt instead of sour cream.

She was my favorite! And she is sooooooooo beautiful. I was almost sobbing throughout the entire episode, happy tears. :smile:

I'm doing the happy dance for you! It may not be the trick that does it for everyone, but it never hurts to try. So glad I could help and so happy that you are almost at your goal - you deserve it. :happy:

I am the queen of this. I always, always, always carry my phone in my bra when I go out. I hate carrying purses, and I don't like the look of the phone in your pocket, ruins the shape of the jeans... so I carry it in my bra on vibrate and then no matter how loud it is, I can always feel my phone ring! However, with less…

1. How many people do you know that are raising a child(ren) alone? Are they male or female? - Only a few, mostly female (one male). I don't happen to know very many people with children. 2. Were you raised by a traditional parenting system or non-traditional? (Mom and dad, 2 dads, 2 moms, adopted, aunts, uncles, foster…

... Everyone! All of the members here at MFP support each other. Just jump into a discussion, ask questions, start requesting friends, and you'll fit in just fine. Welcome!

Saying this as gently as possible, most doctors don't have much training in nutrition and a second opinion from a nutritionist or dietitian, who focuses their entire career on proper eating plans, would probably be more suited to state whether or not eating between 500 - 800 calories a day is appropriate and healthy. Sure,…

I second, third... or is it fourteenth... the Ezekiel 4:9 bread. I go for the low sodium version because I am trying to cut sodium as much as possible. 80 cals, negligible fat, no sodium, 15 g carbs (3 g fiber, 0 sugar), 4 g protein. Takes a bit of getting used to, and I prefer it as toast rather than sandwich bread, but…

I have one of those, too! In fact, that's what I call him, "My Person." That's how I refer to him when I'm talking to my friends, or writing about something we did together, i.e. "Tonight my person and I are going to dinner." It's a GREAT term! I also refer to our relationship as a "situation." It's better that way. Good…

Thank you, everyone, for all of the kind words, advice, encouragement, and personal stories. It's comforting to know that I'm not alone. And I can't recall if someone said it here or in a private message, but yes, I do strive for perfectionism and that is what brings the feelings of guilt that someone else mentioned. I…

Oh my...

Thank you, very much. I really do value the relationships that we forge here. I posted this because another user had the strength a few weeks ago to write a blog about what she had been "hiding" from MFP and I thought if she can do it, so can I. Coming clean already feels better!!!
-
Thank you, everyone, so much for all of the kind words. Arielle made me think of something that is very telling. It definitely says something to me about myself that I was so worried about what the MFPers were going to think of me, that I couldn't be honest about my food even on a website. However, as I've come to respect…

I go to the bookstore a lot and just saw that title for the first time last week and was very curious about it. Thank you for the recommendation, I will definitely pick it up!

I'm not a linguist or speech therapist, but I've always pronounced tzatziki as "saw" (but say the "s" as if it were combined with a "d," with the tip of your tongue against the back of your front teeth) and then "ziki" is like saying the letter "z" ("zee") combined with a "d" again with the tongue thing, and then "key."…

The picture isn't cute, but only because whatever brand of jeans she's wearing is clearly designed for flat butts. If curvy girls buy skinny jeans designed for curvy girls, they look fantastic!!! www.pzijeans.com They make skinny jeans for girls with booties!

Easy Bake Oven for me, too... Maybe that's why I'm here. LOL
-
Tzatziki! Try this recipe. Cucumber, garlic, dill, and lemon juice aren't very expensive calorie wise, so it's primarily based on the calories of the yogurt you choose. http://kalynskitchen.blogspot.com/2007/07/worlds-best-tzatziki-sauce-recipe-greek.html ETA: LOL Kaitlin and I would pick a recipe from the same blog.

You look absolutely wonderful - like a totally different person. Congratulations!

I recommend philosophy's makeup optional kit, but it's a little pricey - around $78. You might also try Mario Badescu products. You can order online or they carry them at some beauty supply stores such as Ulta. They're fairly reasonably priced and there are several glycolic acid products that should help with old scarring…

I haven't finished it yet, but my initial response is that it works. Without even considering the number on the scale, my muscle tone has significantly increased. Under the little belly flab, there are very tight abdominal muscles and my shoulders and arms are much more shapely. To me, that means the product is working. In…

My votes: Fajita Roasted Vegetables - substitute corn tortillas (or don't use any), no cheese, no sour cream, go easy on the guacamole Classic Chicken Fajitas - same limitations Pollo Del Fuego - no sour cream, maybe substitute salad for the rice Tequila Red Snapper - no cream sauce, substitute salad or double veggies for…

Wonderful work, cute dog, GREAT swimsuit!!!

To further the argument, Diet Coke is not the only thing people consume that contains aspartame... Dannon Light & Fit Yogurt (a favorite of many of the members) - contains aspartame, Fiber One cereal (frequently suggested by many people on the boards) - contains aspartame, Crystal Light (many board members will tell you to…

Diet Coke here has 0 in all nutritional categories, except for 40mg of sodium, in the US.
