I found Skinny Cow fudge bars with only 35 cals. They are scrumptous! Klondike Slim a Bear 100-cal ice cream sandwiches are great, too!

Hi Chirleen & Welcome to you! You'll do great! Wishing you success! :flowerforyou: Marti in Kentucky

Yes, Fear can be a good thing sometimes! There are so many other foods out there besides fried or fast. If we go to a fast-food place, I usually just have a side salad. Now they are worrying about the chemicals/radiation in lettuce! Who knows what we are digesting from those places!!! :sick: Just do what you think is best…

Welcome, FloJo! You were just lead in the right direction! We love it here. You have joined a very caring family who all have the same goal -- to lose some pounds in a healthy way!

GREAT JOB, VANESSA! Keep it up and you'll be the skinniest Mom on the block! :happy:

Keep up the good work(out)!!! Oh, to be young again! I remember when I ran five miles around the track (as part of my black belt test!) I'd do well to jog ten minutes these days - even on the treadmill -- holding to the bars with all my might!!! :blushing: :blushing: ! (Be sure to get lots of calcium; osteoporosis is…

Top 5 Healthy Foods You're Probably Not Eating - But Should Be Thanks for that info! I like all of them except eggplant. Don't think I've ever eaten that one.

Great job, Rebecca! Keep it up and you'll be in the habit before you know it! Best of success!:flowerforyou: Marti

I'd keep a supply of Atkins shakes and bars or SlimFast shakes and bars, V8 veggie and V8 fruit. It's easy and no cleanup to worry about. If you have kids, you might want to keep some Tropicana singles as well. When it's hot, the best thing to keep is lots of liquids, I think! Best of luck and we'll all be praying for your…

Congratulations! You can do this!!! :flowerforyou: Marti (Mom of 3 boys and 2 grandchildren!)

I went for my walk yesterday morning (first time since my fall last week), and I had my MP3 player hooked up and walked to the beat. I heard this voice with a little accent yell, "I SEE YOU!!!" I turned around and said, "Hi," to that man who was inside his fence standing by a large tree. I thought that was funny. In…

Ummm, I LOVE MY.... enthusiam over the past almost-two months for sticking to my plan to lose pounds without starving myself. I LOVE MY...MFP family...for all they've done to help! Thanks, MFPs! :heart:

Baby, I know that feeling! That's why I keep a supply of those 35-calorie Blue Bunny Sweet Freedom Fudge Lites. Tastes great, nice and cool, and you can even eat 2 and only have 70 cals :happy: That green tea is great. Oh, sometimes that green tea gum will take away the cravings for me. :noway:

Yeah, Lesley! You've only just begun, Sweetie :love: That is quite an exercise list! I do well to get in 15-30 minutes of walking each day along with my neck and back exercises! You go, Girl! Keep up the good work and you'll be down to where you want to be in no time flat! You're an inspiration for all of us! :love: Marti…

Welcome! You've come to the right place! I've been here since July 1 and have lost 14 pounds with only about 25 to go :blushing: As for water: I don't like it either, so first thing in the morning, I fill a glass (a regular glass holds 16 oz. or so). I drink it down first thing, then refill it and cover it for later. I…

He's precious! Looks like you!

Im going to start my T'ai Chi tomorrow and see how that goes. Tai Chi is wonderful exercise. The slower you move, the better results you get. I did it for many years (Tai Chi Chuan) as part of my Shao Lin Kung Fu class (I made 2nd degree black belt). So surprising that something done so slowly can cause you to sweat so…

I like the Arnold's Double Fiber 100% Whole Wheat. The other day my husband came home with some Sara Lee Whole Wheat and it was good, but I still prefer Arnold's.
