It is hard to lose weight to begin with. Add in depression and friends who mean well but sometimes say things that put you on the defensive and it makes it twice as hard. Then on top of all that.....add in the pure love of food (all food not just the wrong foods) and it becomes the biggest challenge in somebody's life.…

Hi Kelly, I wasn't in denial but I did have a hard time coming back. I knew I had gained weight. It was inevitable. But I couldn't get started and stay motivated. The other morning when I put my pants on to go to work they were extremely tight and gave me what my husband calls "moose knuckles". I hated it! And as…

Well this week will be better. It HAS to be! SW - 207.4 lbs (Tuesday Nov 1) Week 1 - 204.4 lbs (Tuesday Nov 8 ) Week 2 - 205.0 lbs (Tuesday Nov…

So for Tuesday's weigh in I was at 204.4 SW - 207.4 lbs (Tuesday Nov 1) Week 1 - 204.4 lbs (Tuesday Nov 8 ) Week 2 - xxx lbs (Tuesday Nov 15) Week 3 - xxx lbs (Tuesday Nov 22) Week 4 - xxx lbs (Tuesday…

You know what would be nice??? If this topic could somehow email a reminder on the day BEFORE weigh in! That would be SO sweet! That way I would remember to weigh and record in here for that day. I'm sure it is way too much work for one person but I bet some genius could write a program to remind! :) Wondering if I know…

I think it is totally dependent on each person and what their body is used to. My body is nowhere near used to eating breakfast every morning. My day starts early, usually around 5 am sometimes earlier. At that time of the morning I am nowhere near eating something. Just the pure thought of putting something in my mouth,…

I just wrote a paper on weight loss surgery for school. I'm here to tell you (and anybody else that matters or wants to know) that WLS is by NO means the easy way out! The side effects that can happen from weight loss surgery are unbelievable. Granted, I did not write on the lap band but gastric bypass (Roux-en-Y). I, at…

You are a very BEAUTIFUL woman! Beautiful inside and out! God put you on this earth to give us all inspiration! You are truly an AMAZING woman! Do NOT ever let anybody tell you any different! You should be as proud of yourself as we all are. You look fantastic and you are truly a fighter.

1200 calories is not low. It is the lowest you should go in order to lose weight. I don't think MFP will ever drop your calories below 1200. 1200 is doable. I've been doing it for a while.

your body is going to go into starvation mode eating only 900 calories. weigh loss will become much more difficult over a period of time.

she probably also has plans for this weekend which would be my guess as to why she is pushing for him to have them this weekend. I think custody battles and divorce sucks. I wouldn't wish it on anybody or even my worst enemy. I was the new spouse and dealt with lots of custody issues. Glad it's all over with now. Custody…

I have posted several recipes on here. Not sure how to go about finding them, though. One of my favorite is low fat buffalo grilled cheese chicken sandwiches! I use boneless, skinless chicken breasts. Boil it then pull it apart like pulled pork. Add Franks Red Hot sauce as desired. spray a non stick skillet with non stick…

you could just eat it! If you put sliced peaches in it, it will sweeten up the cottage cheese and make a delicious healthy snack. I love cottage cheese and could sit and eat it all day. If you want a recipe you could mix it with some fresh or packaged ricotta cheese and make a lasagna or stuffed tubes! message me if you…

Thanks everybody for the help. So let me update on this: 1. I take a water pill everyday because even if I maintain my sodium level I still retain water in my legs and have pitting edema. Doctor not too worried about it just gives me the pills to eliminate the discomfort. (I will worry about it after I get to the goal I…

Can't find you using that link either. I seriously think it searches using email addresses

yes that is my gmail email account. let me try to find you and add you...of course I haven't figured it out either but I will!

I try not to let the arthritis beat me. At least I tell myself that everyday, but the pain in my knees does prevent me from doing vigorous exercise so for now I mostly just walk and pick up my pace when I need to push it. What is zig zagging? I've never heard of that. I was drinking a gallon of water everyday but now I…

I cut the soda/pop out by drinking water and adding the Wal~Mart version of the Crystal light. It's only 5 calories per tube for a 16.9 oz bottle of water. I buy the bigger packets so I can make 2 quarts at a time and use regular tap water instead of bottled water. My kids drink it too instead of Kool-Aid! Wal~Mart has…

I am on it. Using the same name there as I am here but with the number 2 after it. ScoutMomAng2 . DebyDeb just go to google.com and up in the upper left corner it says google+ click on it and start your new social network circle.

maybe instead of looking at the big picture, I should go back to my 10 pound increments. That seemed to work well too,

I thought about jumping up and down on mine!

1. Age 43 (nearing 44) 2. Height 5' 4" 3. Gender Female 4. Start date at MFP May something 5. Start weight 243 that day (249 in December at Dr.s) 6. Lbs lost so far 33 since starting MFP 7. Average lbs lost per week goal is 2 but not sure of the current average 8. Daily calorie allowance - please list when started and…

Oswald you could do a thin crust pizza. lower carbs and tastes great!

I just slice the peppers thin and put it on there. When ya order pizza from the pizza joint their peppers are not roasted but raw.

:love: I too love buffalo sauce, especially since I started this calorie counting! I saw the "same" recipe using bbq sauce too but I wanted SPICE so I changed it to buffalo sauce. I also could not find a low calorie or low fat pepper jack cheese. If I could that would lower the calories even more. Made them for the entire…

I have not tried it to replace the eggs only to replace the oil. It works replacing the oil with apple sauce but I'm not sure about the eggs. You can use soda pop like (7 up) to replace the egg in a cake but I do not know the amount and do not know if it will work in a brownie mix.
