I might just have to try this! Sounds yummy!

I have been seriously active for only about 5 weeks though I joined MFP a few years ago. I'm not a great one for tons of interaction online, but I'm trying hard with MFP because I understand how it feels to get encouragement from others. I do try to make it a point to at least hit like for goals or accomplishments others…

Thanks for posting,

I will send a request and would gladly accept more friends. I too am working to get below 200!

Near Hershey now, but originally from NE Ohio. Moved here 7 years ago! When it comes to college football, I'm still a Buckeye at heart, when it comes to pro ball, "Go Steelers"! Doesn't make my son, nephews or brother happy, but since I married a man from NW PA, it makes it all good at home!! :glasses:

It's hard hearing that word associated with yourself. I'm the same height and heavier, so I'm considered extremely obese. On top of that, I turn 58 next month. I've only been working on this for a few weeks, but really want to get healthier. The encouragement and motivation from others helps in knowing you're not alone.…

I made this over the weekend and my husband even liked it!!

Way to go!!!

Just 2 days ago I had a guy I work with say to me, "I think you're a pretty woman, but your weight takes away from it" I know he didn't mean to hurt my feelings, but couldn't get it out of my head. The next day I told him I needed to talk to him. I let him know that his words were hurtful, though I did believe he hadn't…

I haven't banned anything for myself. I've just tried to find healthier alternatives or limit the amount. I know for me if I tell myself I can't have something, that's what I want more than ever. I find that as I'm incorporating more veggies and fruit into my diet, I enjoy it more. I'm also thankful that my husband is…

I've got a couple of years on you and have a couple of health issues as well. Sent you a friend request.

I'm new as well. Read the post under Introduce Yourself titled "New to MyFitnessPal and looking for tips!" I found it helpful.

I'm Jan and 58 is approaching in a couple of months! Will be glad to add friends!

We switched about 6-8 months ago to only butter. I no longer buy margarine of any kind. I use a butter bell to keep it in so it's always soft which means I can use less because it spreads thinner.

That is great! Nothing like not being able to get the things you like. I'm originally from NE Ohio and for years have been buying DiRusso's turkey Italian Sausage, but can't get it where we live now since it's producec by a smal local business. Fortunately we make a few trips a year back home, so it's something I must buy…

Just bought some yogurt to try this!

PaytraB, I first had cooked lettuce on a pizza when we relocated here from Ohio 7 years ago. It seemed a little weird to me but it was actually very good. I had heard of grilling it, but never tried it until this year. I've been really trying to make vegetables more flavorful and interesting. It seems to be working because…

I'm new as well (or at least new to acutally using MFP) I sent requests to all on this post. I'm just going into week 3 and am getting a little more comfortable with the site. I love the fact that you can put in your own recipe and calculate the nutritional value. This is helping me tremendously because I like to cook.

Romaine lettuce .......cooked! I know it sounds weird but I absolutely love it. The original recipe is grilled, but I prefer to put it in the oven. Grilled- cut romaine in half longwise. Brush outer side and cut side with EVOO, sprinkle both sides lightly with Montreal steak seasoning grill both sides just until the…

I read an article about using it for oil pulling and since I have had some gum problems, thought maybe I would give it a try. Purchased it, but haven't used it, I'm usually in too much of a hurry in the mornings. I'm going ot have to check into some of the uses others have posted. If you don't know what oil pulling is,…

Looking for friends as well. Feel free to add me! Though I registered long ago, I'm just now active. I had to do a double take when I read your topic. At first glance what I saw was Sexy Breasts not Sexy Beasts!

I use allrecipes frequently, but I''m going to be checking some of these others out. I've been working on incorporating more fresh veggies into our diet and just this weekend my hubby commented that he enjoys them so much more because of the variety of recipes I've been trying.

58 is creeping up quickly. Though I joined years ago, I just began using MFP. Over the past few months I've been working on eating healthier. I've incorporated a lot more veggies and even have my husband asking for them! Looking for pals also!

Thanks for sharing. I'm going to have to check this out.

Very inspiring, thanks for posting. As a 57 year old female just getting started, I need all the encouragement I can get and you definatley have given quite a bit!

Though I've had it for quite some time, I am new to actually using MFP. Thanks trogalicious for the tips. When I went to post this, I saw when I actually registered on the site. If I would have gotten serious then, I would have met my goal long ago. Better late than never!
