Hi, saw the posts about a food scale...Why not use a clear plate? Plastic or glass, cook's choice. Just remember to subtract the weight of the plate from your measure. Love the Dwarves of Menopause!! What a hoot!

Don't give up so easy. Come on, you can do this. Just because you make one mistake doesn't ruin the whole day. Everyone of us has probably gone over our calorie limit at one point or another. I've been on MFP for two months. My first month, I only made my caloric goal FIVE days out of that first month. This second month, I…

Hello ladies, We're in the middle of triple digit temps here. Well, it is the middle of August, which is when we usually have them. Just another fine Texas summer day. Whew! It has hit 100 by noon, and I am not going outside. God bless Mr. Lennox and Mr. Carrier. I'm grateful to them for inventing A/C. I've had minor…

5'10" and have worn a 12 since jr. high. used to wear a AA, now mostly a B width. These days, I pretty much live in birkinstocks. I do buy men's sneakers. Fave places: Nordstrom Rack -totally rocks! Payless shoe store Catherine's - womens store Avenue- for 11, 12, 13 W and WW DSW-especially clearance racks…

I'm 5'10" and my inseam is 34. I like St. John's Bay by JCPenney, and I love my women's jeans from Cato. Have you ever tried Land's End? I loved their pants.

It all depends on your frame size. Are you small, medium or large framed? I'm 5'10" and large framed. If I went back to 140, I'd look too skinny. I'm aiming for around 160 total, but I'm doing this in stages. SW 230 CW 219 GW 200 for now

Hello! Which photo program do you use? I started with Kodak Easy Share Gallery (it came with my camera), but it no longer has email support. Anything I loaded into it stays there. Unfortunately, i deleted the program and lost my pics. I thought my pics were still on the memory card, but NOOOOO. I bought a recovery program…

Bumpin to mark my place

Hello ladies, I'm Diane. I did join last month with an Introduction, but haven't posted since then. I' m new to taking selfies and using smartphones so as soon as I master them (or take a decent selfie) I'll show myself. I've lost 8 lbs. so far after 2 months. It would be more but I binged a bit and it cost me. back on…

Love this! Thanks for sharing!

Hi Alice, I'll turn 57 next month. I've been on MFP for 2 months. Lost 8 lb. for good. I actually lost 10 but found 2 again. Too much celebrating the 10 lb. mark. So, back on track and down we go... Diane

Hi, I'm a tall girl too. I am 5'10" and weigh 222. I started MFP at 230 lbs. Currently, I'm a size 18 with a large frame. The smallest I've ever been was a size 12. I wore a size 12 for 25 yrs. I would be satisfied with a size 14 now. As a size 12, I was really thin, but I was very active at the time. I swam, rode my bike,…

Can you do crunches or ride a bike? those are good for belly fat. Also adding calcium, an extra glass of milk, a serving of yogurt can help to burn belly fat. These have worked for me.

I'm north of DFW.

HI, I'm 56, 5'10, and weigh 222. I lost 8 lbs. in my first month on MFP. I'm only counting calories. I don't exercise, unless housework counts. I occasionally walk with friends, when my schedule permits. When I started at MFP, I was surprised at how many calories I actually ate. Now I know better, and make healthier…

hi, I'm Diane, I live in North Texas. I joined MFP three weeks ago. I set up my program in stages. Stage One is 30 lbs. at 1 lb a week. I've already lost 7 lbs. I have hypothyroidism, which caused my weight gain. I also have SAD. I use daylight bulbs to help with the SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). . Anyway, like I…

there are many excellent recipes for ground turkey on www.Just-a-Pinch.com.

When someone says "this is you?" You can reply "it was, but now I'm just a shadow." Congratulations on your success.

Hmm, 20 carrots at once? That's a LOT of carrots. If you eat eggs for breakfast, make an omelet and fill it with cooked veggies. As for seasonings: Carrots - a pinch of thyme, or a dusting of ground ginger mixed w/butter Broccoli - oregano and/or garlic. Garlic hummus works well with broccoli. Green Beans - garlic, sesame…

dancindiva7, your answer is in your name. turn on the music and DANCE! You can do deep knee bends on the arm of your couch. Hold onto the kitchen counter for back kicks and leg lifts. Just move to your fave music, alternating fast and slow. Do stretches during the slower songs. That's how Denise Austin started her empire.…

Hmm, gluten free meatloaf....I suggest oatmeal, or cooked quinoa.. I would soak the oatmeal in whatever liquid (milk, broth) you are using to make a panade. You can even use mashed potatoes. Mashed potatoes will make the meatloaf lighter in texture. I use them in my salisbury steak patties. You could also use cooked rice.

there are some good ones on www. Just-a-Pinch.com.

Hi Coby, There's a book called Tai Chi In a Chair. Simple exercises you can do while seated.
