Sounds yummy and no sugar. Yay!

I don't know your medical situation but if you have been trying to conceive for awhile have you been screened for PCOS? My sister-in-law who had problems conceiving and losing weight has PCOS. Good news she did conceive and now has a five year old son and is expecting a baby in December (not planned but a nice surprise)…

I have been doing this for the past week. This is a great idea. I am eating a small sugar free yogurt this evening because I did not eat dinner. I have not been eating after dinner except for a cup of Good Earth spice herbal tea. I night I did have a small tangerine.

4 miles elliptical (9/410) 2.5 miles walking (9/5/10)

I like cooked oatmeal with cinnamon, 1 packet of steevia, 1 small no sugar added applesauce and 1/4 cup non fat milk. I stir it all together. I like Trader Joe's steel cut quick cooking oats but if I don't have time I eat regular quick oats made in the microwave (2 minutes). I eat this breakfast a lot. My second favorite…

Check ebay. My daughter ordered one for me and it is an arm band with a pocket for my iphone. The front is clear plastic so you can see your iphone. It fits in snuggly and works great. She only paid $5.00 for it.

I keep sugar free vanilla ice cream in the freezer and add 1/2 cup thawed frozen raspberries on top (I use the ones that are sugar free) I sometimes add a little sugar free whip cream on top. Very yummy and helps me get past the dessert cravings.

Please add me in. I started out needing to lose 113 but now need to lose less. I would love to join the group.:flowerforyou:

I believe herbal tea can count but it is my understanding that caffeinated beverages do not count. It used to be only clear no caffeine beverages counted as water but I think that has changed. Weight Watchers now even lets you count milk as part of your daily water. For my own health needs I only count water and I consider…

I love my IPhone touch. I use it for everything. I call it my IPhone entertainer (I have games on it for my grandkids) I have the Amazon Kindle app to download books, I rent or buy movies, play games, take photos, email, and text and call. Of course I have the MFP app too.:smile:

I mix a TB or two of olive oil with a teaspoon of fresh minced garlic (I use the jarred garlic) and I let that sit for about 15 minutes, then brush the salmon with the oil, lightly squeeze a lemon over the fish, season with dill and ground pepper. I grill it on a grill pan on the barbecue. Delicious!! I usually have…

Thank you for the post. I am struggling with my sugar addiction and fell off the wagon. I needed to read this for motivation.:flowerforyou:

Every morning I have my cup of coffee with 1 oz of 1/2 and 1/2 (40 cals). I don't care for sugar in it but I refuse to give up that one little bit of pleasure. If I have Starbucks I get a tall nonfat latte and add one packet of Steevia and sprinkle cinnamon on top. If I have any more coffee I drink it black or if I am out…

Welcome to MFP. :flowerforyou: I love it and can't imagine losing my weight without it.

I packed my grandson lunch all year for Pre-K and I usually made a sandwich on whole wheat bread with lean turkey and cheese, baby carrots, grape tomatoes, fresh fruit or natural applesauce. Sometimes I packed lean turkey pepperoni, cheese slices and whole grain crackers instead of the sandwich. His school supplied milk…

For breakfast if it is available choose cereal, fruit, whole wheat toast (my experience has been with a continental breakfast it can vary and some even offer eggs and bacon) I would call the hotel in advance and ask what they offer for continental breakfast and lunch. Eating out for dinner can be tricky if you do not know…

I agree. See your doctor. There are different conditions that could cause this problem that would not be treated with diuretics. I do take diuretics for blood pressure control but when I miss a dose and I take in too much sodium both of my feet or both of my hands swell with fluid retention, never just one…

Sounds delicious! You soak potatoes in water to leach out some of the gluten and that is why they get so crispy. When I make hash browns after I grate them I soak in cold water for about 15 minutes and then drain well through a colander and then layers of paper towels. They come out so much better that way and are not…

Welcome Jamie: You will love this site. Great support and information.:flowerforyou:

I know how discouraging it can be to put on two pounds. Usually when that happens to me I find that it is water weight and if I just keep doing what I am doing it goes away. You didn't say how often you are weighing but for me I try not to weigh more than once a week or even better, once a month.:flowerforyou: I am just…

I weigh my food after it is cooked. I feel it is more accurate that way. I feel what is left after cooking is what you are consuming. Fat and water cook out and since different types of meat have more or less water depending on the cut it would be inaccurate to weigh before cooking. :smile:

I agree somewhat but I also know how hard it is to not please everyone. Currently my daughter, son-in-law,and their two boys are living with me and my husband. I try and make the main dish the same for everyone but I might include some things they all like that I don't eat (baked fries or another vegetable) I eat separate…

This sounds yummy!! Can I use 1/2 the fat mayo?:smile:

Congratulations! You should be very proud of yourself. I hope you do something wonderful and special for you and your sweet wife.:flowerforyou:

Not everyone will have the same result with loose skin because it depends on your age and elasticity. I have concerns about how flabby I will be but I have decided it is better to be flabby on the outside then unhealthy on the inside. If it is horrible I will try and find a way to fix the problem with surgery. Right now my…

I go to the gym more in the winter but I find summer to be more of a challenge because I want to be outside. I absolutely love to ride my bike and since I live in such a beautiful area I am very motivated and I also use my bike for local errands which accomplishes two things at once.. I think finding something you really…
