A Potato, baked, flesh and skin, without salt, has 7 grams of protein! I believe it's in the skin - the skin of a potatoe is the healthiest part of the potato.

I drink TONS of water a day - as far as servings of water I probably drink 12-15 servings of water a day, AT LEAST! But I make take the fiber pills, or something of that nature! Thanks all!

Brenda, Welcome to MFP! You'll find great motivation here and a fabulous support group! There is specific no menu, meals, or diets on the site! This site is great to be accountable for what you put in your mouth, track your exercise and get the support you need to improve your health and lose weight! If it wasn't for this…

I sort of have the same problem, since I started eating healthier I'm not as "regular", but I believe I'm getting what I "need" to do so......so curious to see some advice here.

She gave good tips! I agree with the cute outfits and wearing make up because she has a very valid point, if you look good you feel good! Just like I hate getting my hair done unless I have make up on - cuz you first look at it and like ugh! then you go home and put on make up etc - and you're like WAIT i love it! lol

I know what you mean by not having the extra money - I can relate but I got a scale for like $8 at walmart the other night, its an actual scale not digital because i was told the digital ones are quick to burn up where is a real scale would last much longer. You dont have to go expensive.

Done! and its about my 8th or 9th for the day!

All of your calories should be eaten, inlcuding exercise calories!

That is FANTABULOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!! (i like to make up my own fun words..... :bigsmile: ) :love: keep up the good work!

Hello, my name is JoJo and I am a recovering Mt. Dewholic! I've been clean for 4 weeks now! :drinker: I love this site and honestly don't know what I would do without it some days! It's kind of like crack :smokin: Welcome and have fun!

I typically log on in the morning and log everything I'm planning on eating through out the day, then I'll see something and be like eeeeehhhhh, maybe i can cut that out! lol I'm now addicted to the site I must admit!

Welcome the MFP family is glad to have you! :-)

FANTASTIC! Woot Woot

Also keep in mind - fruit's sugar are good sugars! so eat all the fruit you want and ignore the sugar content!

LMFAO! WORD - ARE WE WITH THE SAME MAN?

I know I felt bad for you when I read that reply! It's all good! We all have those thoughts as long as we dont turn them into actions! As a mother to a 12 yr old girl, and a step mom to three others I feel your pain! but I wouldnt have it any other way! :-)

I'll have to try to find that - thanks

You are ABSOLUTELY right! Sunday I told the 15 yr old to get the jeans out of the dryer......several hours later I realize that she in fact did exactly what I told her. Took the jeans out of the dryer and sat them on the couch! HELLO FOLD THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BF says, they are kids you have to be specific I said…

Dear Family, Why must laundry sit on the couch folded for over 48 hours? I folded it the least someone could do is put it away...it will sit there until you do! :-) Yours truly, Mom

I can normally see pics in the message boards, I'll log out and back in!

Oh BOO! I can't see them! :cry:

I've been told you can go over on protein....that actually the sky is the limit when it comes to protein and fiber.....but everyone has an opinion.

ok wow - just looked up nutrional value and hellllllllllllllllllo low in sodium thats for sure - ill be replacing all my "pasta" meals with egg noodles for sure

Ok question are egg noodles better for you than "pasta"?

I'm going to experiment with the greek yogurt this weekend in the attempt to create a ranchy dressing with it. I'll keep you posted.

try replacing breakfast with a fruit and a protein bar.

You go Mandee! lol :bigsmile: I used to babysit this girl everyone! lol I like it with apples, pretzels (sweet & salty), and graham crackers.

Try kettle korn - much better and is sweet and was rather decent on nutrional information. (discovered this last night) I used to not like rice cakes either but i tried the Fit & ACtive mini caramel cakes (from ALDI) and OMG I love them!

Girl I so know how you are feeling! Feeling the same lately myself! And I know it's causing people around me to NOT want to be around me! Stay strong! I'm using it as my motivator, I guess its why i got out of bed and ran this morning dispite not losing crap in the past week.

a great place to look is dottie's weight loss zone.....google that and it will come up and hit her restaurant link - darn near EVERY restaurant imagineable!
