BUMP

I also use the unsweetened almond milk and fage yogurt, but I like to add a teaspoon of honey and fresh berries.

My hubby and I went to a function last weekend and this is what I did: I exercised that morning (adding calories to the bank) Ate a lite meal before leaving (so that I wouldn't be "starving" by dinner-time) Brought my own beer, Budweiser Select 55 At dinner I chose smoked pork, fresh fruit, and OMG! They had potato salad!…

Bump. I may add a little shredded coconut for sweetness.

Aww! :sad: I thought that meant we we're gonna build forts tonight!!!

I deleted the same person. I am on a journey to better my health and am looking for others with the same intention. I got the impression that this one was looking more for sympathy and attention than anything else. I also noticed that she rarely, if ever, replied to comments from her buddies regarding her eating habits and…

Most Definitely this! : P

LMAO!!! Is that you Joey?!

With feelings of dread, I took my Before picture when I joined MFP. I was embarrassed, disgusted, saddened. 2 months and 15 lbs later I took a During pic and then compared the two. I was amazed and thrilled and so much more motivated. Best of luck to you!

You can add me as well. I am 52 and new to all of this. I've been on MFP for nearly two months now and have lost 15#. I try to make good nutritional choices, weigh and record my meals, drink tons of water, and adding exercise to the mix. My diary is open, I feel that to be accountable I must be open and honest. I am no…

I never intended to get into the "Fruit vs Processed Sugar" argument. I was only relating to the OP what I've been doing. In fact, at this very moment, I am enjoying a nice helping of cantaloupe (yummy) and celebrating my 1.5# loss for the week. Works for me! :happy:

I am very new here but thought I'd chime in. This is what is working for me: First, I get most of my sugar from fruits. Second, I approach sugar like I do salt. I am trying more foods without added flavorings (salt, sugar, whatever), some I really enjoy in their naked state, and some take a little more getting used to. My…

Thank you, I cant wait for the day when my feet no longer ache.

Thank you so much for sharing. That was very inspiring and makes me feel like walking when I don't want to and skipping that bag of potato chips (my weakness) will truly be worth it!

Thank you both for your input. I've read a lot about the benefits of weight loss, but wanted to hear from folks with actual experience. Again, so that I'm not setting myself up. I realize we are all different and mine may not end up being the same as yours but one can always hope, right? The bad self image? Mostly comes…

I do apologize if I've posted my question in the wrong area. I was hoping to target those with huge success with my question regarding their experience after the loss. And please note, I am not asking for specifics regarding your sex drive, just a simple yes or no. Thank you in advance for any comments.

Homemade Spring Rolls, fresh not fried. I let my imagination go wild! Same with dipping sauce.:happy:

Thank you everyone, I'm glad to be here.

I'm hoping weight loss might help to ease the night sweats. And yes, yay for us!!!

Friendship accepted!
