I used to eat butter and sugar sandwiches....fries with mayo instead of ketchup, or dipped in icecream. I could easily drink a 12 pack of soda a day (yes, a soda for every hour between 8 am-7 pm). so sad.....

I'm the same way...as long as I'm not at home, I am fine. As soon as I get home, I want to eat everything in sight...and I shouldn't be hungry. I just ate way more than I care to admit. Some days I can resist and other days I can't. :(

Thank you! That's perfect.

I love butternut squash...sounds great! thanks!

mini meatloafs? (baked in muffin pans) I have a recipe called "tagliarini" that my mom used to male. I don't have it with me, but you basically brown hamburger meat with onions, add tomatoes (crushed), frozen corn, sliced black olives, and cheese...To make it healthier and bulkier, you can add bell pepper, green beans,…

YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! I AGREE....:happy:

Also- maybe you have lost inches, but not weight. I got on the scale and it said I gained 1/2 lb. I was so pissed. But, then I measured and realized I lost some inches! So---there's always that. Whatever you do, don't give up!

I agree- MFP is one of the most supportive groups of people..always willing to share knowledge and ideas, pick us up when we fall down and cheer us on when we do well...Love it here. It's the only thing I've ever done, that I've actually stuck with and seen results. LOVE IT.

Love Rancid, NOFX, Reel Big Fish, Operation Ivy, Voodoo Glow Skulls.... Also, Papa Roach, Drowning Pool, Disturbed, Mudvayne, Escape The Fate, Atreyu, Godsmack, etc....

Let me now what you find out. I am hypo and I eat spinach a lot.

one of my favorite things is: 1-2 lb pork loin...put in crockpot. In seperate bowl, mix one packet of McCormicks BBQ pulled pork seasoning with apple cider vinegar, brown sugar and ketchup (the back of the seasoning packet will tell you what you need). Pour it over the pork loin and let that sucker cook for 8 hours. Then…

Possibilities are limitless: Start with a base of some sort of meat: chicken, pork loin, stew meat, whatever you like., Add veggies: tomatoes, celery, carrots, onions, potatoes, leeks, mushrooms, corn, peas, green beans, etc... Mix in: low fat/low sodium soups or chicken/veggie/or beef broth, or low fat cream cheese (with…

welcome to MFP!

"there comes a time in your life when you realize who will always matter, who does matter and who never did matter. so, don't worry about people from your past. there's a reason they didn't make it to your future." Think about this....life is too short to be weighed down by negativity and when you are working so hard to be…

I'd like to know this too...I'm over my sodium almost every day. I'm way over today, although I still have 486 calories left and am hungry...I don't know what I can eat that is low in sodium. I don't feel like eating a bowl of broccoli. :)

First, stay away from sodas and processed foods as much as possible. I'd try to stick with nuts, fruits, veggies and protein as much as you can. You may be able to at least walk 30 minutes a day...and get some activity in that way. I have vertigo, although mine is much better now and hardly bothers me at all...but, I know…

I tried the C25K about 2 months ago and barely made it through 8 minutes on day 1...I was so dissapointed...I stopped trying it all togheter. But, I did end up doing Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds DVDs and built up my strength and endurance that way. I tried the C25K program again yesterday and I made it through the…

My husband works graveyard shift- 8 nights on, 6 nights off. Man, his schedule screws him all up. But, I do make him a "lunch" to take to work at night, that way if and when he gets hungry at 2 or 3 am, he has something healthy to eat instead of going to the vending machine and getting junk. He logs it as breakfast, then…

feel free to add me.

oh my god, that sounds so good...do you have the calorie count per serving?

And THAT is awesome. I love me some Steve Perry!

I also married at 18, had my first born at 19 and divorced at 20 (2 months after my sons birth). Married again at 25...still happily married. I am sorry to hear of you being widowed. :(

you click on "Recipes" under the forums column, it will take you to all the posts for recipes...they have some great ones there.

HAHAHAHA....that's funny! :)

My cat decapitated him....not cool. :( He was just a baby....

You look fantastic! You can tell you have worked your butt off....very inspirational!

okay, okay...one more: I used to have a pet iguana, named Rif Raf (after the butler on the rocky horror picture show) I cannot stand the sight of Jim Carrey, therefore I will not watch any of his movies.

I'm deathly afraid of wasps, though I've never been stung by one.

I wish....I seem to be ravenous after a workout!

I was a terrible student because I always skipped school, and now I'm a mom who has to teach my kids to be better than that.
