I make brown rice, portion out, cool completely at room temp and freeze. No problems at all.

Hi Lisa! Here’s some ladies I can relate with. I just turned 50 and live in Tacoma, WA. My oldest son just graduated from college in May and my youngest will be a sophomore in college in the fall. The stress of my first son leaving sent me into a tailspin and I packed it on. Managed to get back in control w help of MFP.…

I started (again!) on 1-1-19. Yesterday, I hit goal! 21 lbs down in time to turn 50 next week. This will be the last time I do this. I already know maintenance takes just as much effort as losing and I am ready this time 😊

I have been as close as 1.1 lb to goal and just cannot get there. Making me crazy!!! I have been playing around with my calories as I have gotten closer so I think it is just going to take time and consistency. Always looking for new friends. Anyone is free to add me 😊

Excellent job! You look amazing!!

I just started this week. Get back to me in a month or so. Feel free to friend me if you like.

I turn 50 next month and I am determined to be fit and fabulous! Less than 3 pounds to goal!

Great job!

Turkey meatloaf, sweet potato and broccoli. Delicious!

I’m up a bit North of you in Tacoma.No judgment here. Sending you a friend request.

I am so sorry for your loss. The death of my father in Jan 2018 was my undoing. I re-gained over 20 lbs in less than a year. He had been a huge part of my motivation to get healthy and stay healthy while he was battling for each day. I knew I had to pull myself together, but the dark days and nights of grief were holding…

Best thing I read all day! Congratulations to you and keep up the great work!

I am a full-time sub (High-school now, but I have done Pre-K thru 12 over the last 4 years). I am on my 3rd trip through losing 25-30lbs. I have done it successfully twice, but every time is harder. I hit the big 5-0 this summer and this has got to be my last time down this road! Please feel free to add me-the more the…

Bread- package usually gives calories per slice of bread and then how many grams that slice is suppose to weigh. There may be 2 pieces in a loaf that actually weigh that. So...I weigh every piece and then figure calories out mathematically based on how much each slice weighs. Total pain and that in itself keeps me from…

I’ll be your friend! Request sent!

You are uplifting and inspirational! Sending you a friend request for sure!

I am at 1200 plus I eat excercise calories back. Anyone is free to add-always looking for more friends.

Hi! I’ll send you a Friend Request. I have been easing back in myself. Re-gained between 20-25 lbs in 2018 after working so hard to lose it. Major life event set me off track and I am determined to find my way back.

I’ll send you a friend request. Just started over again after major life event last year that totally derailed me. My diary is open.

I love PB on Apple Cinnamon or Chocolate Rice Cakes. The only place I can find those 2 flavors is Wal-Mart.

One of my favorites from Costco is their frozen Stir-Fry Vegetables. A really great mix of veggies without all the prep work.

Walk, walk, walk.

Look at you! So happy you have made such a great recovery! My son went through this nightmare too several years ago when MRSA was the “new thing”. He was 9 years old at the time (21 now). Infection from heel to pelvis on one side, in his abdomen and lungs. He also made a full recovery, continued to play football into…

Watched orientation and did her New Beginnings New Year's Eve this morning. Love her already!

I am in and so excited to try this! Also looking for new friends for the new year, so please feel free to add me!

Born in Oklahoma, grew up in TN, MS, and KY. Fell in love and ended up in Washington state for the last 24 years. You can take a girl out of the South, but you will never take the South out of this girl! I get back every chance I get!

My diary is open and I am always open to new friends! I am in maintenance now, but if you go back to the beginning of the year, I was on 1200.

Sorry I haven't been keeping up with posting, but I have been busy getting caught up on my crunches. Missed 3 days in a row trying to get my oldest son situated to head back to college. He made it and I am caught up. Tomorrow will be brutal!

Aug 21 90 crunches done!

Day 19 Abs complete! My son has left me and the Ab Challenge for 2-a-day football practice. I'm sure he is getting plenty of exercise.
