I make apple sauce all the time for my baby and my step son. Baking the apple keeps the most nutrients in them. I cut them in half, core them, place them in a 9x13 glass pan, sprinkle cinnamon on them, turn them over (skin side up), add about a ¼ of a inch of water. Cook 400 degrees for 30 mins. Then I take the skins off…

What is this Whey you guys are talking about and what section of the store do I get it? And what are the calories and benefits?

I’m a bridesmade in my brothers wedding sometime in August and I want to loose as much as possible by then sooooo 30-40lbs.

I have the same problem, cant waite to see the responces.

I used to frequent this site until I became pregnant and now 6 months later I am back. I have been really great with my weight gain and I want to keep it that way. As of 5 months I have put on 7 pounds and the Dr wants me to stick to a 2 to 3 pounds gain a month. The Dr said these next few months will be easy to pack on…

Anna, I am in the same boat. I wish I had lights around my round pen.

Is anyone loosing motivation or trying to reorganize your routine because of the time change? Before the time change I would hike and run when I got off of work, but now when I get home I only have about 30 min of day light. It is really bumming me out. I am trying to figure out another option. Mornings are out because I…

I make everything with turkey! Here are some ideas; Turkey Burgers (my favorite and my step son has no clue he isn’t eating beef) Turkey Tacos Turkey Burritos Turkey Sloppy Joes Turkey Lasagna (Ground turkey and turkey Italian Sausages) Turkey Sausage Subs (don’t know what to call it, I broil the sausages, while I sauté…

I was completely clueless till I asked a friend and she told me what she thought it stood for. I just wanted to confirm. I love it! :laugh: :laugh:

I think for me that person would be my mom. I lover her to death but she is my toughest critic. I have a question, please help me I have been wondering about this……does DH stand for what I think it does??????:laugh:

Welcome Faithstephenson and Pdxmomof2! I think this is great that all of us are willing to put our measurements out there. Tracking our measurements once a month is fine with me as well. How about we post our results at the beginning of each month, what do you guys think?

I have been measuring since May of this year and I have steadily been loosing inches. For me measuring is a bigger reward because as I gain muscle I may not see a change in the scale or the scale may even go up but when I measure I know I am making progress.

I am sorry Beth I think my first post may have been confusing. I haven’t set goals and you don’t have to set them either. The measurements posted were when I start and what I am now. But I wish I had a target measurement though. People have target weights why not have a target measurement??? 5’7” Female Stomach – Start 44”…

Wow Mom and Wife you have this down. Thanks so much for sharing. And I agree with you that you should always measure in the same place each time. Oh and everyone add your total inches lost if you want to, what a great idea. My total inches lost is 39”.

Beth, I am not sure how to determine a goal measurement. My idea is that if we share our heights and our measurements we can get an idea what an average measurement would be for our height. Plus I think it would be great to see how many inches people have lost because for me I am showing more progress with inches lost then…

Good morning all, I have noticed that a lot of you prefer measuring to track your progress. Well I thought starting a message board would be great support for us to share our secrets, track our progress and give advice. I started MFP in May, and I have really changed my lifestyle around. I will share with you my height, my…

Yeah that site has problems, other than setting up teams, the site isn't user friendly and it is slow. Toooooooo dang bad I thought it was a great idea for us MFPers to be a team. Oh well maybe the website will get fixed. Thanks for the help though.

lleanak I added you but I can't see the others. Oh also it looks like your on a different path then me. I am having troubles navigating this site. Not so easy!

I can't find it either.

Can you add me too? 52934

Tweety, I pretty much only use the tape measure because I hate the scale. So far I have lost 3” on my neck 4” on my arms 10” on my waist / stomach and 7” on my hips since May. I was measuring myself every two weeks or a month and I would always see a huge progress but then I started to measure myself every week and I…

I am in the same boat, shedding the inches off but my weight isn’t changing. So needless to say I am a bit frustrated. I have often wondered if I just stuck to my allowed calories and didn’t exercise if I would loose weight but I haven’t tried it yet. At some point there has to be a break, I don’t want to be this weight…

Janet, Give yourself a break. It is going to be hard for at least a month and then you will see that your lifestyle changes and it gets way easier. I was the same way the first month always thinking man I miss this food and I miss that food and I plane just want to dive into this food. As you fight the temptation it will…

Oh that was just a random note of what I know I am going to eat for the day there will be more. I definitely eat all my calories and exercise calories to a fault. As hard as it is at times. That’s why I am confused. And I know muscle weights more than fat but I still want my weight to go down as well. Confused!

Good Morning, You may know that I am scared of the scale in fact I hate it and all I have been doing is measuring. Well since this thread I want to jump on the scale and weigh in with you guys. A little recap, I have lost 24.5” all over and 15 pounds. The 15 pounds came off pretty easy and steady at 2 pounds a week. But…

I need some help and reassurance…… I have been dieting and exercising for 3 months and I am having issues with the scale. I have lost about 15 pounds but in the last month or more I really haven’t lost much, maybe 2 pounds and it is driving me crazy. I decided to heck with the scale and I primarily track my progress by…

Ok 20 somethings I would like to join the club! I can’t tell you my weight because I am scared of the scale. I used to weigh myself all the time when I first started but realized I was obsessed and sometimes disappointed. So I only take measurements now. I started in May and this is where I was and where I am now; Waist &…

Shelly I just bumped a post about exercise calories take a look and see if helps you.

Bump!

Yes that is bad. I know it sounds weird but trust us we have all been through it, and have realized that eating your exercise calories is key. In the beginning I didn’t eat my exercise calories either and I regret it because I wasted a good 3 weeks that I could have been loosing weight but wasn’t.
