1/2 cup natural applesauce(not sugared) whipped with 2 tblp fat free coolwhip and a 1/2 tsp cinnamon. Makes a mousse style applesauce and it's about 100 calories. The pectin in the apples should make you feel full longer.:wink:

Banks, where do you find the time to look this s**t up? It was extremely informative:bigsmile:

:flowerforyou: Ana, I hope you enjoy the site, it is really a nice place with a very nice support system called us, your teammates. When I craved chocolate I would buy myself the Kelloggs 100 calorie chocolate drizzle bars. That way I could fit a little something sweet into my calories allotted and not feel guilty. Hope it…

So what about Nalgenes, the bottles that Eastern Mountain Sports sells? I've had mine forever and I don't want to get rid of it. Well guess I will go read some articles now.

Well mine didn't think it was idiotic but he wasn't as supportive as some of the others, but now that I've been doing it for awhile he appreciates the way I look and even goes out with me for a walk. So what I'm saying is maybe it will take time with him too. Keep true to yourself, come here for the support and be patient…

Beautiful out today, so I am going for my hour walk. It will have to be on my muddy gravel roads but there are plenty of hills and valleys so it will be a good hike, taking hubby with me today too, that's a first. :smile: Maybe if I get real enthusiastic I will do some arm work tonight. I have decided to post first because…

Hi all, I'm probably the last one to post here today, boohoo. But I got out and walked for an hour. Too much snow for yard work yet, but still wrestling the bus over roads that couldn't be described as roads more like bogs. Good for your grandma Mary!! Amazing really! Well you all have a nice evening. See ya tomorrow.

The wheels on the bus go bump, bump, bump, Bump, bump, bump, The wheels on the bus go bump, bump, bump, All through the town. :bigsmile: (gravel roads yaknow)

Aaww thanks guys! And yes Banks I will get back to work lol:bigsmile:

Hi girls, I just wanted to stop by and say hi. I'm back but came back with a cold and am not exercising today. Maybe tomorrow:smile: The sun is shining and all I want to do is sit and let it wash over me. See you all tomorrow:flowerforyou:

Well I am finally back, it took awhile but I'm here. I really really really missed this place while I was gone. Thanks to all who were saying prayers for us. My mom received a clean bill of health and I could come home much earlier. She won't even need chemo, I'm so relieved about that. I thought for sure I was going to…

sigh:ohwell: PT again. At least I'm getting more to do. I am about at 50% better. Also I'm kinda freakin out because I won't have a computer where I'm going and no way to really track what I eat. Just kinda freakin period! See ya in awhile.

Love ya Banks but I'm not doing it! This girl isn't in good enough shape for any of that. But I believe it because my daughter was in the reserves. But I'll be thinking of you:bigsmile:

Hi Everyone, Good name for our new challenge! It took me a minute to find you all. I still want 8 lbs gone. The good news is my back is feeling better, slowly but surely. So I"m still doing PT and go to see her tomorrow for more exercises. Bad new is tomorrow I leave for Mass to be with my Mom for awhile. I'll try to keep…

Born and lived in Massachusetts, but married and live in Vermont 30+ years:bigsmile:

Happy Easter all, I believe I lost maybe 2 lbs total, but that is with no real exercise going on except for the PT. I ate healthy at least and I have not had caffeine in three weeks. I'll check in to see what you are doing for the next challenge but can't say I'll join as I might be gone for at least three weeks. Good luck…

Hi welcome to the site. Hope you enjoy it. It has some wonderful people here. Thank you for sharing your life with us. I'll share back.I am amom of three grown kids who decided it was time to take care of myself for a change and I really wish I had done it sooner. I feel so much better now that I have lost a little weight.…

I wish we had nice roads to bike on. I have torevamp my daughters bike this summer with tires that go on a mountain bike, as we have gravel roads here. Lots of mountains to climb and not too many vehicles on them either. Do you travel alot or do you live in TN and are just visiting NY. I'm in Vermont and it will be quite…

Hi All, Happy Birthday Julie Congrats Arriane on fitting in your bridesmaid's dress. Just bus driving today. I was real tired today and had a nap on my friends couch. Maybe stress showing up about my mom's surgery. On the fun side I ordered a bathing suit for the first time in 5 years in a size 14 and it fit. I am a little…

Thanks for the library suggestion. I never gave that a thought, but she is good friends with the librarian and I should go tell her why Mom won't be in for awhile. Thanks everyone for your support. I will try to check in. I know I will miss logging in my food.

Hi SuniBC, sorry about that, I was putting the yellow cat in and must have deleted that one but I stuck one of me from before in. Not as good as the one with my mom but I couldn't find that one. No you weren't in the wrong place. Joann nobody better boo you! I think it's great that you did it without exercise!! I only…

Hi, what do you consider to late to exercise? Does it have to be outside? Do you have a place you could do a dvd exercise inside?One with upbeat music is always fun. Do you have stairs, you could go up and down those for laps and get some there! Get a jump rope! I've heard someone here who does that. Housework can be…

Hi all, I am going to help my mom after her surgery for colon cancer next week, so I will be gone for about three weeks. She doesn't have a computer and I don't have a laptop:grumble: so I will not be in contact for awhile. :sad: I didn't want you all to think someone had sent me bad e-mail or anything. i am planning my…

HI Ladies, I'm 50 this year and have been here since August of 07. And like Julie, I have lost weight thru this site. You can check out my profile to see a before and after picture. The before one is of me and my mom. Julie beats me out on the exercise though. I'm looking forward to walking some more but I have the same…

So Happy for you! Congratulations! Enjoy the shopping I sure do!

Welcome from Vermont to the mfp team. I'm glad you enjoy the site, I think it's awesome too. i've been here about 7 months.

Niccole, I'm so sorry for your losses. I hope you have many happy memories to help you through this time. I hope your little one feels better too. My mom just let me know she has to have a surgery for cancer, so I am trying to make plans to be there to help her recuperate. Hard to do since she doesn't have a date yet for…
