WOW, these look great, I am going to definitely try several of them! THANK YOU sooooo much!

I do not like canned or frozen, I prefer raw, lightly grilled or steamed vegetables with no-salt seasonings. I like fresh fruit, but smoothies are great if you don't like fruit fresh without covering the taste some! Just make sure you are making them low fat and not adding sugar! You can add Vanilla Protein powder to these…

ksharra, Congratulations on making the wise choice to join MFP! But, first thing you need to know is that you need to do it for YOURSELF, not anyone else. You have always been a beautiful woman no matter what your weight! Now what you want is to be a healthy, beautiful woman, and that includes having a healthy self-esteem!…

You look absolutely beautiful in both, but I believe the second one fits your shape much better, it really enhances your gorgeous curves! You are going to be a stunning bride. Congratulations! I am renewing my wedding vows on November 12th for my Silver Anniversary, thus I will be picking out a dress in September! I am…

I have lost 44.4 pounds since Jan 31st. Only small healthy meals (lap-band assistance), water, and cardio/Treadmill and walking outside. Some dumbbells but only up to 3# each hand, because of three abdominal surgeries in three months! Tell me it is all water, yeah, right! This guy is all negative and is not a nice guy,…

Becca294, Good to see you on MFP! It is a great place to find support and the tools are great! I had Lap-Band Surgery on Jan 31st 2011. I have lost 44.4 pounds so far! Most people on here are great in giving support. There are only a hand full that criticize us for choosing surgical assistance in our weight loss. Don't…

MeggieMae22, Thank you for the kind words of support!:flowerforyou:

taosan, Wow, I love your attitude and how you explain what we are all going through! Thank you so much for the support. The place I came from was a few people have already told me that they thought I took the easy way out to weight loss and I guess it just made me feel really bad. I see so many people striving for the same…

Wildflower3475, Thank you for your kind words of encouragement. I am as strong as I need to be to get through all of this, GOD see's to that! I appreciate all the support I can get just like everyone else!

jmjones66, Thank you for sharing about your daughter. I am sorry things are not going well for her. I will add her to my prayers. Thank you for the encouragement! :flowerforyou:

Mariposa187, Thank you for your support. It is greatly appreciated!:flowerforyou:

schatelain, Thank you for your encouraging words! :flowerforyou:

fireflyangel22, you are correct! I have to be careful and make sure I am getting enough Nutrition. I have to be careful to make sure I do not do anything to make my LB slip! I have been very blessed not to suffer from any nausea, as I follow the diet plan carefully. I do add Vitamins, minerals and extra Protein! I have a…

missvics, gastric bypass is a whole different ballgame. I hear you still always feel hungry. With LB that is a plus, you don't. I am sorry you are still battling weight issues after going through such a tough surgery. I wish you all the best and am here for you for support any time you need it.

Christine1110 We are here to support each other not worry about each other! I have finally learned healthy food choices, and to exercise, but yes, this is what it took! I guess I was a slow learner :smile: And had to do it the hard way!

Respect your opinion MckayMachina!:smile:

Thank you precious kitten!:flowerforyou:

Thank you believetoachieve!:flowerforyou:

I think most of us feel the same! The healthy foods we are eating now give our bodies what we need. I understand that "Cravings" come from a lack of some vitamin or mineral our bodies are lacking. So when we eat right and our bodies are being fed what they need! NO CRAVINGS! I find it awesome!

You have a great attitude, you will succeed! Having a long way to go is just like going on a long car ride, you will have to make a few stops on the way to refuel, but you WILL get there :) Set small goals for yourself, maybe 5 # at a time so you have these little win/celebrations to look forward to often, instead of…

Welcome to MFP! This is only the beginning. The journey ahead of you will take many paths, and will sometimes be rocky, muddy, curved or have uphill climbs or downhill spirals, but there will be many more straight, wonderfully clear, wide open paths along the way! Don't get discouraged, just remember that after a bump in…
