One of the things I go to all of the time when I am having chocolate cravings is something called Litehouse chocolate yogurt fruit dip found in the fruit section. I have it with bananas, strawberries, and any fruit that goes good with chocolate. I think it's like 120 calories for 2 tablespoons and then when you have it…

I just posted two more for today's blog, hope you all enjoy.

You can check out my daily cooking blog at www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/TracieJ65 I just found another cooking blog, too, don't quote me but I believe her screen name was inskywithdiamonds

You can have all of the motivation and support you wish. Great first step for both of you.

Good Morning to you all on this thread! I hope you don't mind but I thought I would check back in and see how eacn and every one of you are doing today. This subject is so close to my heart because I was there, (here) just one year ago. So I can relate to each of you. If I can I would like to support you and help you all,…

Welcome and good for you for making the change. A lot of people talk about their cooking problems, here, and getting something on the table when they get home so late, or some just don't cook well! I love to cook and cook dinner darn near ever single night. So i started a cooking blog with the hopes that the things I cook…

I Weighed 2 days after Christmas, my normal weigh day, and I was down 1 pound, then I weighed this past Monday and was down 2.

Hi all, I see that a good majority of you that say you have at least 100 pounds, some more, have just become members! So I wanted to offer something in you all will allow me. In 9 days it will be one year since something happened inside me, really happened inside me. I was sitting at 306, (probably more that was just the…

Just put tonights dinner on my blog! Ravio-Sagna! YUM, enjoy

I have a daily cooking blog and I put everything there. www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/TracieJ65

Shoot, forgot to tell you that I have been giving my clothes to goodwill! Also, when I buy new, smaller, things it is only if they are on sale and only a couple things because I KNOW I won't be in them long.

I have been getting rid of them just as soon as they get so big they look ridiculous! I do this because I. Don't to give myself the option of thinking "well if I keep them I will have something to wear if I gain weight back!" I am not going to fail at this, this time, so I am not giving myself anyway to.

awalk YOU GO GIRL AND YOUR 7 entries! We are here to support one another on a weightloss/get healthy journey no matter our age, race, sex, or whatever. (BTW white girl here!) I guess if it came right down to it I could be offended by the 5'7"-5'8" group, or the 20's group, or the "not that heavy girls trying to lose…

I have a daily cooking blog that I do and put all of the cooking I do, daily, in it. I actually started this because some people ask for the same help that you did and I thought that if I can help someone by sharing the ideas that I do, why not. I cook darn near everyday and I will put it all in my blog.…

I bought this a year ago! It was my piece of equipment to get me started on this journey. While I liked it, when it worked right, I had to have mine replaced twice because it kept falling apart. Each time I had to have it replaced I was without the equipment, meant to get me going, for a10-14 days. Thank goodness I…

Keep at it Jenifer4 and I promise you the day will come when you are able to look at that cupcake and not even care about it!! I am living proof of that. One year ago I was still having massive amounts of desert, after dinner, every single night and splurging on sweets throughout the day. They don't even tempt me, for the…

I ordered a bunch of them a while back! While they are not rotten, they are not totally awesome either. Mind you this is my opinion and my opnion only. The box sits next to my box of Clif Mojo and when I go to grab one or the other I always grat the Clif Mojo. They are filling, I will say that, but there is just something…

Healtymama, let me tell you, it is worth it. I only shop twice a month! There are actually a couple of reasons why, first, because I shop at our military commissary and the base is 10 miles out of town. I don't like to make that trip until I absolutely have to, especially in my North Dakota winters, and two because I…

I actually want to comment on your #4 in your signature block. I can tell you that looking at your picture, I see something pretty. I hope that you see it really soon too.

I actually have a couple of really good bread recipes, Jm, I just haven't made them in quite a while because I do limit myself with bread, now. I use a bread maker, though, so if you don't have one they probably wouldn't work for you. I just made 10 loaves of a cinnamon streusel coffee cake, during the holidays, to give to…

I won't pay for something I can do myself! I don't belong to a gym, I already had a treadmill from a New Years Resolution about 6 years ago, and I find whatever ways I can to exercise in my own home. If you have stairs in your home, or apartment, run p and down them. If you have a sturdy stool use it to do steps ups while…

I liked having this challenge for the month of December and I found myself pushing myself more to make sure that I could report, here, that I was either getting close or completing my minutes for the week. So, for myself personally, I am going to make this a month to month challenge. I hope everyone will follow. HAPPY NEW…

Plus on Thursday = 35 min on abdonminal spinning disc Friday = 70 min of 2.0 walking and 35 min of roller skating Total for the last five days of December = 331 minutes (29 minutes shy of the 360 minutes but two days missing for a full week, so I feel good about it!)

Thursday = 46 min of elliptical Total so far this week = 191 minutes

Wednesday = 55 min of 3.0 walking Total so far this week = 145 min

Tuesday = 60 min of walking/running/jumping rope/hula hooping Total so far this week = 90 minutes

Well, here we are to the last week of December. But, since there are only five days of this week, and it is a busy, busy week for me, I do not think I am going to get 360 minutes in, but I am going to do what I can even with only having five days. Monday = 15 min of jumping rope and 15 minutes of weighted hula hoop Total…

I just got one yesterday during all of the sales. I got that and a jump rope and am going to start today. I just hope I can keep it spinning around my waist, haha. I was actually just reading about it and it is supposed to be a fantastic cardio workout. I am looking forward to trying it out today but I am sure your 2…

Thanks and success to you too! I was nervous and even contemplated waiting until next Monday. But I put in some good exercise every day last week, as well as had some tempting holiday deserts, but my hard work paid off. The scale was one pound less. So, I am happy and motivated to put in a heck of an exercise week. Be…

Sunday = 79 min of 3.0 walk/running Total for the week = 549 min
