Welcome! You're already heading in the right direction! Feel free to add me if you like :) Katie

Canadian here! From central Ontario :) Katie

Bump Katie

I always try to eat less then 1800mg of sodium a day, I think MFP's guidles are okay, but I know Dr's advise those with hypertension or risk of hypertension to eat no more then 1500mg a day. Katie

I don't live with one, my husband is pretty good at jumping on board with me, but we do have some enablers in our lives who would gladly over feed us and tell us not to worry so much about our weight, we really have to stand firm with them! Katie

Thank you very much for the compliment! Your dinner also sounds great! Katie

Veggie Samosa's and Butter Chicken are two of our favorite items at our local indian place :) But I also make the Butter Chicken and home using this recipe (with subsitutions): http://tastykitchen.com/recipes/main-courses/butter-chicken-2/ Replace the high fat cream with 1% plain yogurt, and replace the butter with a…

I lost 13 pounds my very first week of this new lifestyle, I know it was mostly water weight, but it made me feel good just the same! Katie

I'm currently reading it and working through the participants guide (sold separately), and I am loving it, I have found it very helpful! Katie

I had a strong innate desire to have children and they are the most amazing blessings in my life! We have four, we planned each pregnancy, though the second pregnancy brough surprise twins, we have always been thrilled to welcome these children into our lives, and the chaos they bring ;) When our twins were 20 days old,…

You look great! Good for you! I can't wait to be in onederland myself! Katie

Thank you so much :) Katie

Nicely done! Katie

Thanks :) I'm not reallly thinking I'll have a lot of loose skin. My stomach may have some, since I had three pregnancies in the last 7 years and one was a twin pregnancy, but otherwise I think I'll be okay. If I reach my goal, I will have lost 111 pounds, but I am nearly 6 feet tall and it was pretty evenly distrubuted,…

Feel free to add me! I've got a 5 year old, 3 year old and 4 month old, I've lost the pregnancy pounds and now I've got about 70 pounds that are all my fault ;) Katie

Haha, yeah, my kids are a little on the tiny side, short runs rampant in their gene pool (thought I am 5'11"). My daugher will be 6 in November, she's 36lbs and 42" (I think). My almost 4 year old son weighs 30 pounds. Katie

Congrats! You look great! Katie

Thanks for the input! Katie

Thanks everyone! Great tips here! Katie

Well I will likely use it for its very basic purposes ;) Because technology is over my head ;) I see a good deal for one on Amazon, so I'm wanting them to get it for me while the getting is good, do you like it? Katie

Well I'm not sure what your struggle is, but my guess is likely it's an emotional block, something that needs deeper change then what you eat. I've got issues with emotional eating, and I know I'll never get anywhere with my loss unless I address the reasons why I fall off the wagon so regularly. On a more positive note, I…

I'm not sure, but I don't think your husband is right. My protein shake is 120 calories, 4 carbs and 2 grams of fat, and 22 grams of protien. I've been having one for breakfast and one in the evening some nights, and I have been losing weight. Maybe someone with a bit more knowlegde will add their experiences, but I think…

I'm 5'11", my goal is 170lbs, I know from being that weight years ago, that it actually looks quite good on me, puts me in a size 12 and I would be thrilled! I should add, I am a medium frame :) Katie

I really love pixie cuts! My profile pic is from a year ago, I've been growing it out since, but am currently considering chopping it all off again. I'm not sure if I'm considered one of those who can "pull it off", but I got lots of compliments on it, and lots of people have asked why I'm growing it out. I think it all…

I am having spaghetti squash sauteed with onions, garlic, mushrooms, plum tomato, fresh basic, prepared bruschetta and sundried tomato and basic cream cheese :) YUMMO! Makes way more then I can eat too. Katie

You look great! Good for you! Katie

Good work! Katie

My sister in law has had four children and she has an amazing body, not an iota of fat or loose skin anywere on her. I've had four children too, but here I am desperately trying to lose a ton of weight, so I guess it just depends on how much effort you but into it and part of it will be genetics too. Katie

Congrats! You're an inspiration! Katie

Thanks so much ladies! I appreciate the input ;) Katie
