You're doing great! Sometimes I'll slip and it makes it hard, but when you catch again you'll be doing great! Good luck!

I have been on a very low sodium diet for the last couple months. I finally found some protein powder to help me out when I can't cook up a steak or chicken. It's Jarrows Brown rice protein. I was shocked to see how much sodium and sugar is in typical protein powders. I typically make mine in rice dream horchata, add…

This has been me lately. I am so mad at myself. I never thought I'd be a binge eater but here I am, 3rd week without a lose (actually gained 1). I keep telling myself "at least I'm being honest on my dairy and still tracking", but I know I'm really nit because when I binge I'm only guessing. I'm sure as heck not measuring…

I'm 5'6" and I'm working to get to 140ish. I carry pretty much all my weight in my belly and while I'm losing in my legs and arms (and some in my middle too) I'm worried I'll look even more disproportionate as I go on. I'm hoping it'll start grabbing faster at my middle real soon!!

I have been pretty consistently at 185 since I was married, but just in the last 40 days I've started working out and eating better. I decided to try on my dress with my anniversary coming up, just to see how close I am. I was able to slip it on tied up. Greatest feeling ever!

For sweet cravings I've taken to fruit (fresh or freeze dried), a stick of gum, or those whole fruit Popsicles. For salty I eat those sweet potato and beet chips, unsalted nuts (which my brain hasn't seemed to catch up on), or peanut butter (which helps with salt and sugar cravings!!) I found nu-salt (I think that's what…

Haha, I send my husband for the bag if he tries to steal my measured portion. I totally get the insurance idea, but when it's a treat I definitely hoard the plate! The other day I made spring rolls and the wrapper split and I was trying to scrape it out to put it in a new wrapper and realized I was fighting sticky spring…

Yum! Great idea!

I made them last weekend for the first time and will be making them tomorrow for father's day. My husband has been waiting so impatiently haha! We use coleslaw mix, imitation crab meat (tomorrow we're trying the lobster meat, it's lower sodium), water chestnuts and butter lettuce. I made a peanut sauce to dip the rolls in.…

I didn't know about the asterisk. I'll keep that in mind. Thank you!

My BP is high and my doctor won't start fertility stuff until i get it under control. I especially want to check the occasional treats that I'm getting and had it not been for the restaurant's page I would have thought everything was out of reach based on MFP. But luckily I found something I can work with and looks good :)

I'm tracking daily and working on increasing my activity. I'd love to have more buddies!

I've got a delicious lo mein that's super filling and I want to say around 400 calories a person? And you get a huge portion. I'll post the recipe tonight when I get home if you'd like? Or its on my meal diary yesterday at lunch haha

I can't do meal prep for the week. I sometimes will prep a menu, and this weekend I'm going to bag up premeasured portions of some sweet potato chips I got, but that's it. I don't like leftovers. I'd rather have less time in my day then cook everything at the beginning of the week. Blech :P

Most gyms seem to have at least one or two free sessions with a trainer. I've used them just so I know what each machine does. Some of them seem like death traps until I learn how to actually use the machines. When and if you use them is up to you, but at least you can get an idea of what does what! Good luck.

I am not an over 50, but I wish you the very best luck. I love snacking, and I have found that prepacking my snacks in the morning and keeping them with me during the day helps me keep track of what I can do. Good for you with that walking! Good luck!

Good luck! You'll do great :)

It's one of the only days my husband and I can just spend time with each other. He doesn't do any school work and I don't have to go anywhere. We watch a lot of TV and try to have people over for dinner and/or games. And I cook my cheat meal for the week for dinner. And it's awesome haha

This is great. My number one would have to be pasta. I love pasta, with marinara, butter, a little olive oil and garlic... All in all it's not the worst thing I could eat, if I could stop at a serving! I tried rice pasta and just don't like it. I think it's a texture thing where it's trying so hard to be something it's…

I was just telling a friend today that of all the times to start a healthier lifestyle this is a perfect time! These fresh fruits and vegetables are just begging to be eaten! My success has been 5 days of healthy eating, while I work in a kitchen at a preschool. There are so many tempting dishes to try, and I only tried a…
