Another calorie saver for roasting veggies...toss them in vegetable broth instead of oil, it coats the veggies, any seasoning you throw in stick to them, and they taste great! When using store bought broth, I always look for no added sodium.

<Mine SO FAR :) Loving all these before and afters....everyone looks amazing!!!!!!

I started SI6 on March 4th...did 2 weeks of Start It Up and have been on Ramp It Up since Monday. (Debbie has handed me my tail the past 3 days I might add LoL, but it is a process of growing strength and endurance!!) I love it! I did a lot of researching what people had to say about it before choosing the program. I was a…

Amazing results from your hard work!! Thanks for sharing, you look beautiful!

Have you ever tried Kefir? (they call it the "champagne of dairy") Anyway, I've been retaining water, especially in my legs/ankles, but when I drink a cup of this a day....oooooooo, my ankles are so slim and purty :) Seriously, it is one of those you either love it or hate it things, BUT, if you hate it, it is really easy…

Hey y'all! I'm an emotional eater who is going to start homeschool with my youngest boy (8) in the fall :) I felt a connection....and the more posts I read, dang! We have lots in common :)

oops.....sorry, got all excited and didn't realize teams had already been made

I'm in.....a challenge is just what i need :)

I want in! I really need some friends, because I've tried to do it on my own.....didn't work, did it with my mom......actually lost 14 pounds, but (bless her heart) all my mom does is talk about food and I CANNOT keep focused on food, I am either always hungry or stress eating or mindless eating.....ugha! I'm not blaming…

I'd for sure get some exercise in, and even if it doesn't make you so that you won't be at or below your target for the day, it will still be better than it would have been. Have a big salad with lots of veggies in it for dinner, just don't drown it in a bad dressing. Some days I'll go a little over my calorie goal,…

Wed 12/17/08 08:06 AMThe important thing to keep in mind is that Vicky didn't win bupkis and almost fell on her butt on national TV. Did anyone pay attention to the winning percentages? Would anything have changed if we'd voted Heba into the final 3? I thin her number was higher than Eds, so I don't think he wouldn't have…

dang i missed bernie......i was so happy when he won the at home prize last year. but i was even happier last night that vicky didn't win. she did look nice, but i did not want evil to win :devil:

Does anyone have any healthy recipes for a slow cooker? With my husbands and my schedules during the week, it really is the best way for us to feed our family a good meal at a decent hour during the week.

awesome! so i shall BUMP :bigsmile:

When used in combination with the fenfluramine like it was when it first came out. That hurt a lot of people, guess I was lucky cause I "did" that too.

Yeah, been there...done that - several times! The weight always comes back cause I could literally eat NOTHING when I was taking that...maybe a bowl of cereal for the entire day. So, duh - I lost weight, but I didn't learn anything! :noway:

Happy Happy Birthday! Congrats on all you've accomplished!! :drinker:

Me too! I have 3 brothers and they all got the curls....so unfair! :sad:

i update mine every friday (although i'm bad and will step on my scale a couple other times during the week :blushing: )

don't know if i'm right or not - but aren't those huge exercise balls supposed to be good for strengthening muscles?? you could justify it that it is a BALL not EQUIPMENT :wink:

oh my goodness, people can think of anything! i should have one for all the time i spend here at mfp! :laugh:

Welcome! :flowerforyou: I've been here for 3 weeks now and I love mfp! Instead of losing and gaining back the same 3 pounds on all the gimicks and diets I've been trying, I'm actually losing weight just by eating normal food, walking, and using the tools here. They make it so easy! And I love that it is free, I don't even…

haha! Maybe there is a 12 step meeting we can go to! I do my "official" weigh in on Friday mornings but find myself stepping on the scale a few other times a week just to make sure I'm being good. All this scale talk....I hear it calling me now :laugh:

That's awesome stuff! I know what gets me discouraged most of the time. Even though I know it isn't true, sometimes I feel like I just woke up one morning fat so shouldn't I be able to just wake up one morning thin again??? haha....guess I just wasn't paying attention to myself for a while! Keep your spirits up! I'm coming…

Yeah, I second that THANK YOU! Just a couple of ideas - if the BK you have is full service, try the Veggie Whopper. I think it is somewhere in the neighborhood of 380 calories...way better than a Whopper! Do you have someone that can send you a care package (not sure how long those take to get to you if they even do since…

i think it is tickerfactory.com

:laugh:

Thanks everyone for your help and mostly cheering me on :happy: I got to thinking today that I keep telling myself that I want to buy some patches but I don't have the money for them right now and then I'm like *WHOA*.....if I don't have money for patches, then how is it I'm buying all these danged cigs????? And I…

When I was in the air force stationed in Hawaii, I had a side job for awhile at a Subway on Pearl Harbor. It was ship week (which is where all the ships stationed at the base are home) so it was crazy busy. These two guys in the line had ordered 12 inch subs and by the time I got to their bread, for some reason I cut it…

:smokin: I have smoked for the most part of the past 16 or 17 years and REALLY want to kick the habit. The longest I've ever quit for was 3 months and I could kick myself for picking one up again! Does anybody who has given them up have any advice or methods to share? Is there some way to detox that will make the…
