So many options! I thought I loved MFP - now I know I do! Thanks for all of these suggestions. I will not deprive myself! I had one Dove mint dark chocolate swirl at 44 calories tonight and it hit the spot!

I'll have to try the Quest chocolate brownie although having just a bit of what I'm craving sounds like plan. I love hot cocoa...yes keep the ideas coming!

Size 6. I've been that size most of my adult life. I'm 5'8" with a small frame. Eventually I'll get back there and fit into my clothes comfortably.

I was asked if I was "expecting"!!! The only thing that could have made it worse and more awkward would've been if there were more people around besides me and the kind person (insert sarcasm here) who asked!!! This happened months ago but today I caught myself looking at her with extreme disdain. Trying to forgive - it…

New here and I was thinking about this very thing today. I've decided on once a week. I don't want to become obsessed or discouraged.

Hi all! Married with 5 children!! Guess being what the doctors so lovingly called "advanced maternal age" has kind of been a factor in the baby weight not dropping off like it used to. And I will admit that sometimes my diet was less (much, much less) than perfect! So here I am with a clear goal!!! To lose at least 20 lbs.…

Great thread! My belly is one of the main reasons I need to lose! Glad to hear that it will go down as I lose weight!!

It really does depend on your frame. I want to get to 130-135. I am 5'8"also. I have a small frame.

Thank you! That's so true! Dealing with kids, homework, work, etc it's so easy to just grab something fast and unhealthy!!! I've decided to take a little more time to make sure we all are eating right!

I am totally with you! As I've gotten older I've learned that I can't do the same things I did 20 years ago and maintain a healthy weight! I want to look good, feel good and live long! New here so please add me! I need inspiration!

Hello ! I'm new as well and I have 5 children too! It's been harder to get the pounds off after my little one! Good luck to us on our journey! I'm looking to lose 20-25 lbs.

Any folks with similar goals please add me! We can inspire one another!

I feel the same way! The pounds just kind of slowly crept up out of nowhere, I'd like to lose 20 lbs for starters for health reasons. Good for you for bring proactive! I'm hoping I'll find plenty of motivation and inspiration on MFP!
