I focus mostly on the calories and try not to go too far in the red on fat. Usually I do pretty well and stay under goal on fat calories. If I have olive oil or nuts that day it is "good" fat I am getting and the system doesn't immediatly tell you what % of healthy and unhealthy you are getting. I always seem to be in the…

Maybe they are just ignorant about nutrition. I say that only because of the pizza and diet coke reference and I am not trying to insult their intelligence. They may just need education. There is a MFP fanpage on Facebook send them a become a fan request , Maybe suggest that MFP is educational and how much you have learned…

Me too! I am almost always in the red on protien and way under on carbs even if my calories are good. Maybe it's just I make high protien choices but it is strange.

Your wife is blessed to have you for a husband. So Sweet! She will love it~

I have lost only 2 lbs in the last several weeks. However I have started exercising during that time and I feel more toned and feel so much better! My food intake has decreased and my plain water consumption has increased. I feel much healthier!

Your words and support are a blessing to us all! :flowerforyou:

I agree that the school lunch programs in the US need to be totally reeavaluated. They IMHO ,as a mother and former school lunch worker, are junk. Couple that with the decreased time kids spend in physical activity per day and you get what we have today. My daughter is "chubby" wasn't that way until after starting…

Oh lordy! y'all scared me for a minute. Good to know that is the before cooked calories. I love grits although I don't eat them often as I used to. 1 cup of uncooked is enough to feed a WHOLE lot of people. I usually only cook about a 1/4 cup for our family and still have some left overs.

I can tell a difference in your face and your arms as well . Good job!

I am just getting started at a size 22. Can;t wait till I can just fit in a 14. Haven't been close to that for 20 years! Would love to try on some straight sizes someday and buy a t-shirt off any rack without looking for the plus size sign.Someday soon ,:bigsmile: someday soon..

The friends I have found are great about logging daily. I will send you a friend request. Having support daily is such a key to this working.:flowerforyou:

What a great feeling to go to the Dr. and it makes you feel GOOD about yourself! What great news!

Awwww! Your post brought a tear to my eye. You are always so encouraging to everyone. If I ever need to feel better about a bad day all I have to do is read your posts and you always have such kind words to bring up someones spirits. I wish you continued success in your journey.:flowerforyou: - Sheila

thanks for the help everyone! I will try some of these and see what I come up with :bigsmile:

Great Job!! I can't wait to be able to sing ::pants on the ground, pants on the ground, I'm gettin' skinnny with my pants on the ground:::laugh: lol

Having a food you love every now and then is ok. My problem is using it as an excuse to have it EVERY day which does not work. I just can't give up a glass of moscato wine if offered. Had a half glass last week and enjoyed it and didn't go over in calories,but I am not much of a partier anymore. I love margaritas made with…

Cheese and cracker with a dill pickle slice on top. Red grapes,chopped apples and pecans with a teaspoon of mayo mixed in.

6 girlfriends!!!:love: Wait until about 8 years from now. The phone will never stop ringing. Trust me.. my boys phones ring all the time with girls texting or calling. Not quite as sweet as when they are little. lol:grumble: :wink:

Working and living around men most of my life I tend to agree!:sick: I think dirty bananas are the least of my worries. If you have ever worked in a restraunt and are sqeemish you wouldn't ever eat out again. Do you think they all wash the friut or even lettuce for your salads? Not likely from what I have seen. BTW when I…

Welcome!:smile:

My son is a 30 in waist size and gets his jeans from Aeropostle and Pac Sun. They are usually around $30-$50 and occasionally they are on sale buy a pair get the second for 1/2 off. Congrats on your "problem" of needing new pants. :bigsmile:

Welcome! I am new too. Isn't this a great place? I love it here!

Way to go! Success is so sweet!

Carrot cake salad sounds interesting. Got a recipe?

Good job!!!

I am a SAHM too. Lost my job a year ago. I know how you feel in that regard. We can all lean on each other for support here in meeting our goals. Everyone is so positive and I just love it!

I love little Jacks!! We had one that got into so much trouble we called her the dog with 9 lives. She had been pulled out of a groundhog hole(almost suffocated), SHE hit a car , got in a fight with a deer and had stiches, got in a fight with another dog and got stiches, pulled off two toenails digging and fell in a hole…
