I know how you feel! Last night while walking a friend/neighbor whom I have not seen for some time said to me, "have you lost weight?" My gut reaction was a negative one-but I am a new/different person than I was before. Sometimes I think it is as hard to change the psychic as it is the eating and exercise habits! Keep up…

I did not know how great it feels to weigh less than my drivers licese says I weigh!! (how great THAT feels!) I did not know my weigh has been such a drag to my personal happiness. I did not realize how…

YOu have got it right--it is not a diet!! IT is a lifestyle change. I believe you can do it!!Surround your self with positive quotes and positive people--it is amazing what that can do!! This is one of my quotes -if you can't budge the pudge you've got to move the sludge!! put this on my desk and it helped me remember that…

I know six pounds is not alot--BUT five months ago you were six pounds heavier. Don't give up. You can do it-just one day at a time and one healthy choice at a time. I know it is hard but just keep plugging along. How are your portions?-that was always my downfall so just a thought. Surround yourself with inspirational…

My girls (9&11) made dinner rolls completely on their own from scratch!! I am so proud of them buut it was not a good thing for MFP profile!! See you in the…

I was not a water drinker either. I bought a 1 liter bottle and just refilled it three times a day. (yes, I know it is not good to do that but I was the only one drinking out of it and I bleached it frequently!!) I think I used that same bottle for about a month. It really helped me to know how much I was drinking. Three…

I am in! I started MFP in Feb but started my new lifestyle in Jan of 09. I am 5' 1' (almost) and I was 194. I was horrified at the idea of that decided to make a change. I have lost 40 pounds so far but I have at least another 20-30 to go. I am not sure where I really am headed down to-at least 130- today I weighed in at…

Two Ideas come to mind. 1st a spinach salad. Spinach, fresh strawberries, motazarella cheese, poppy seed dressing, mandarin oranges There are many variations to this-I think you can find it on Kraftfoods.com The sal;ad dressing really needs to be put on just before serving or it will get "wilted"--It is YUMMY-O THe 2nd…

Broccoli cut up, onion ( i like the red and it makes the salad pretty, you can add roasted sunflower seeds, shredded cheese, and egg if you wish, The dressing is usuallly mayo,…

Yep! I am in! I am also trying to train to do a 5K this fall--I want to say ,if I can! but I know that is not the way to be! I want to do this! I have been trying to lose 1 pound a week so this is a good incentive to do just a bit more.

By using low fat cream cheese and low fat sour cream and fat free refreid beans you have a pretty healthy choice. It will be high in protein! buy baked chips and you have it made!

Do I have the answer to your predictament-no. BUT, I know One who does. He created you in His likeness. He gave so you could have. He lives so you can live. He died so YOU could LIVE. I know when my 1st born was little I had major pp depression. It taught me many things; one of which is that hormones can be an awful enemy…

Sorry you are having a bad day. Try changing your lifestyle just one thing at a time. The artificial things are really not very good for you. A good rule to follow would be if it was not around 100 years ago-you probably should stay away from it. try challenging yourself to make a larger % of your plate fresh foods. If you…

Good for you. my husband and went to Applebees I LOVE the orange bowl chicken. When I asked for a nutritional guide they said I would have to look on-line. That made the bells and whistles go off. I went ahead and ordered it and a take home container. Before I even took a bite I put half of it into the container, When I…

For the first time in my life I feel I am doing the weight loss thing the right way. I am NOT, and I repeat NOT, dieting! I do not deny myself anything I really want. However, if I really want it, I count the calories and I exercise big time if I go over my alotted calories. I am amazed at how many things I really do not…
