GRILL THEM!!!!!! Brush them with a bit of EVOO a hint of garlic salt and pepper......YUM! I do eggplant, peppers, squash, onions, portabellas, you name it!

I actually burn fewer calories while swimming laps.....I believe it has something to do with thermogenics.....the water acts as a coolant for your body, and that means fewer calories are burned.....I usually swim when I want a workout but need a break.....good luck!

I have sympathy for you....My husband and I started this journey together. We are each other's strongest supporters. It is hard to liv seperate lifestyles in a marraige when it comes to health....I hope you can enlist him because you deserve to be the bet you can be.....pardon me for saying so but he sounds…

I myself can't stand the thought of oatmeal in my mouth......but I do make it for my husband 2 or 3 times a week....I use the Quaker oats old fashioned.....I add cinnamon, agave syrup, sliced raw amonds, fresh berries, and a bit of nonfat greek yogurt at the end.....He loves it and he isn't hungry an hour after he gets to…

:smile: I keep my food diary for my own use.....If I fib to my diary then I am fibbing to myself. I do keep it open for people to read but I only do that in hopes that it will be useful in some way to others. If I eat it I log it....it's that simple

I have one by Timex. It wasn't expensive and I am very happy with it......

:smile: I too started at 1200 and felt like it was quite low. I am losing weight so it is working.....It does motivate me to exercise though since it earns me the right to eat more food. Good luck!

Good girl.....inner strength comes with getting physically healthy......you win this time!!:bigsmile:

Wow I think you look great! I say you should celebrate and take another trip! :happy:

We cut Naan bread into small pieces, spread yogurt mixture in small amount on top, and then place thin slice of english cucumber on top. we serve it as a healthy appetizer.....it is Yummy!

Welcometo the site.....you will love it here.....:smile:

I do pretty well for the most part.....but probably could improve somwhere down the line. I have lost 20 lbs since the first of the year so something must be working.....I try to stay away from processed foods and dont touch anything that contains high fructose corn syrup. I do work out dillegently and stay within my…

I have a Timex that cost about 70 bucks....it works like a champ. I do agree that you have to wet the poles before putting it on.....good luck!

:flowerforyou: OH my.....My heart goes out to you. If you can take anything away from this at all, please let it be a lesson in just how short and precious life can be. Please remember to be good to yourself first in order to be the parent you need to be for your children. You deserve to be everything that makes you happy.…

First I have to congratulate you on your size 12, way to go! Then I have to say that more people should be like you and have the common sense to keep their lips tightly together when they have nothing nice to say. She has no idea how far you have come, nor did she have the grace to mind her own business......hats off to…

I think I wrote the book on this club.....I started this journey on Jan 1st at 192 lbs. I am currently hanging between 172 and 175. this fluctuates daily. I am soooo ready to see the 160's......Stay strong, we will all get there...:flowerforyou:

:grumble: Both! Cardio to burn the fat and strength training/resistance to build/tone muscle.......

The more you exercise, the more calories (fuel) your body will need. Too much exercise and too few calories will send your body into starvation mode. It will hold onto fat to keep from starving. I always eat some of my exercise calories back, some people eat them all back. Remember that MFP has already allowed for a…

My advice to you would be to give her a gift from your children....if for no other reason than to teach them. I would suggest flowers.....as a mother I always loved receiving them from my children.....ultimately you have to do what is in your heart, if you feel compelled to get her a gift, maybe you know of something she…

Hello Diana, Welcome to the greatest support network yet. Just stick with your own desire to be healthy and go from there. As you start to see results it will be your strongest motivator. I have always battled with self esteem issues and I have to tell you that I am emotionally a very different person today. I have reached…

I think everyone is different and some people sweat more than others.....I don't sweat much either while my husband drips all over the equipment!!!!! get a heart rate monitor and worry more about getting your heartrate cooking.....sweat or not, no big deal.....:happy:

Hello Kim, and welcome to the site.....you can add me as a friend if you like, there is always motivation here when you need it!:smile:

Welcome from CT! Friend me if you like......:happy:

I agree that you can count it if it is a cup or two.....any more than that isn't good.....:ohwell:

Hello and welcome to the site.....friend me if you would like, we can always find room for one more! Good luck!

I agree completely!

Woah!!!!!! It isn't good to loose too fast....slow and steady wins the race....it is healthier to lose at a moderate pace and you will be more likely to keep the weight off. It takes time to put weight onto our bodies so in turn it takes time to take it off.....Have patience and count calories in AND out! Good luck!:happy:

Please hang in there, I had the same problem and it took forever for the scale to budge.....it will in time and it sounds like you are doing all the right stuff.....Chin up! Friend me if you like.....:happy:

Hey I resemble that remark......hahaha Friend me if you like......you must be awesome too if you are still here.....,:smile:

Hello! Welcome to the site.....you will always find plenty of support here.....Friend me if you like, I am in CT but only a click away in here.....:happy:
