I saw someone else topped these with honey. Anyone try anything else? These sound wonderful! Definitely going to try them!!!

Wow, thanks for the tip! Sounds great!

You learned this by experience I presume??? Ouch... :wink:

Someone asked me the other day and I gave them the MFP website address. If they are really interested in changing themselves (or pass on the info to someone who does) then they'll log on! Most generally (and unfortunately) when I mention the dreaded word "exercise" people (mostly women) cringe and go the "that's not for…

Olive oil, switch to whole dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt), eggs, olives and fish. That's all I can think of right now! Good luck!

Nice tips. Thanks for posting!

Wow!!! That must've been a huge motivator!

In Belgium, the particular city my family is from, Liege, La Tarte au Riz or Rice Pie is a specialty. And it is one of my favorites to this day! It is has a creamy texture and is DELICIOUS!

That is funny! Here's to hoping that your husband "finds" another wife 40 pounds lighter than you! Something similar happened to me the other day. I was dropping off my son for his first football practice of the season and another parent when I turned to leave said "oh I didn't recognize you from behind-you look so much…

My husband's most embarrassing moment occurred at the store when our special needs son was congratulating my husband for doing number two in the toilet. Just so you know, he used to speak with a VERY loud voice and it went something like this "Good job Daddy, you did it! You went number two on the toilet! Just like a big…

When I was pregnant I went shopping at the mall with my 3 year old son. I told my son to hang on to my skirt because he kept running underneath the clothes racks and I couldn't find him. The elasticized skirt slipped right off when I started walking and he didn't!

So I made these over the weekend. It made about 14 cookies using the "rounded teaspoonful" directions. Wax paper does not work, neither does a greased cookie sheet. The best method was the silpat (rubbery baking mat) on top of the cookie sheet. They were very yummy. I also added one whole roasted hazelnut to the top of the…

I am currently in a 42DD now but before gaining weight and children I was 36C. So I expect that I will go back to that size once I am done with losing weight. Although my Mom says hers never went back down to her before children size. She didn't gain weight like I did. So we will see at the end of the journey!!! I am so…

First football practice today for my middle schooler. After dropping him off I turned around to leave and another parent whom I haven't seen since the end of the last school year says "Oh Hi! I didn't recognize you from behind-you look so much taller!" I am 40, granted I haven't checked, but I am pretty sure I haven't…

Went to my local coffee place to get a gift certificate today-they aren't serving pumpkin latte yet-but soon!!!

Hazelnuts and chocolate, my favorite combination!

Here in the Rockies I can already feel change in the air at night. The days are still full summer but fall is definitely just around the corner! Have my son's first football game this weekend! Can't wait for soups and crisp weather! Pumpkin Latte is right up alley too. Come to think of it anything pumpkin is up my alley!!!

GLASS OF WINE!!!!!!!!!!

Great job on keeping it to half a bagel!!! Will power is a hard thing to manage and is a key component to weight loss-I am ever struggling with it! Have you heard of Bagel Thins? One whole bagel is 110 calories. And they come in whole grain varieties as well. I LOVE them but don't indulge too often!

Thanks for posting your before and afters! I am 6 foot and am about 1/3 of the way to my 63 pound weight loss goal of 180. It is interesting to see how we all carry the weight differently! My sister, also 6 foot, is currently 175 and is trying to lose another 15. So she is encouraging me to keep going when I get to 180. I…

I've realized I have my best workouts when I am listening to inspiring music. Otherwise I think about how much more time I have on whatever machine I am working out on and the seconds DRAG by. When I am listening to the music the time slips away! I dread the days I climb on the bike or elliptical and my IPOD battery is…

I am a 40 year old mom to 4 boys and 1 girl. Ages 15, 13, 10 & 7 for the boys and my daughter is 20. I go to the gym about 5 times a week and switch off between elliptical, bike and swimming along with weight lifting each day. Wasn't seeing much change on the scale after 7 months of working out then I started recording my…

I am 6 foot and have two sisters that are the same. I love being tall and am married to a 6 foot 8 inch guy! We have 3 sons. I NEVER discuss what my weight is with others so I really have no idea what others perceive my weight to be. My sisters have been much better at keeping in shape than I have but I am changing that…

I've got a Vegas weekend coming up in two weeks! Thanks for the motivation!!! You look great!!!!

Thanks for posting this video. It helps me be more armed in my quest to ban soda drinking for our boys when our family goes to restaurants! My new goal is for them to see soda as not something for a "special treat once in awhile" but something that is dangerous for our health and should be avoided completely. On a side…

It's NEVER too late to start! I feel better just doing the exercise and the "burn" I feel lets me know I am working towards the goal I am trying to meet. Just the fact that I did the exercise and feel the difference in my muscles makes me feel great even if I can't visually see the difference right away in the mirror. I…
