Great job!! You should be so proud!

You should be very proud of yourself! You've done an awesome job.

Congratulations! You do not look like the same man.

It is swell to see people from all over the world coming together for a common purpose...getting healthier!! I live in Louisiana close to New Orleans in the USA. It is overcast and in the 60's.

I'm game for a challenge. My starting weght 190...now I am 160. Want to lose 10 more ponds.

I find mine at Winn Dixie. Don't kno if you haveWinn Dixie's where you live.

What I like to do with spaghetti squash is really delicious. I poke it with a knife to make steam holes, then cook in microwave until you can squeeze it easily. While I am doing that I saute some chopped onions, bell pepper, celery and garlic. I add spices like cajun seasoning, salt and pepper. Then I dump in some small…

I was going to eat an apple with some weight watcher's cheese BUT the last patient I saw (I am a home health nurse) insisted that I eat with her and I had homemade Mac and cheese, delicious green pepper, hamburger and rice cassarole and a homemade choc chip cookie. I blew my calories for the day!! Guess it is a small salad…

I have used them. I rinse them well, drain them, then boil them a few minutes. After that you can use them in recipes that require pasta. My favorite is to use in stir fry with shrimp and frozen Chinese vegetable blend. I use seasoning like ginger, soy sauce and whatever I think it needs. With all that you really can not…

You need to put this recipe in the pumpkin recipe challenge. They look really good.

This looks delicious but I have never seen frozen whole wheat pie crusts. I am going to have to look for one.

Thanks. I appreciate the nice words. I get called Nurse Betty by a lot of my patients, BTW. haha

You should be so proud of yourself. You look great!

I have the same problem. When I have a craving to eat something at night I have some choices.....sugar free pudding cups(I squirt some Redi Whip on top), Low cal yogart, Luigi's Italian Ice (only has 100 cals), the individual cups of ice cream, and sugar free Jello(be sure to squirt on some Redi Whip). Just one of any of…

I love to make soups too. Where are your recipes?

Hi, I live in Mandeville which is across the Lake from New Orleans. I have been very happy with MFP. Easy but effective.

You look great! Congrats!

Hmmm, I just may have to try that.

Wasn't sure how to add my birth date so I copied and pasted. Nice to see I am not the only senior on this site. Don't you find it harder to lose at our age? I sure do like this site. I have been pretty successful so far. Jackie Feb 2, 1949 Maddy, Feb 13 Beth Feb 24, 1971 Deb Feb. 26 Marilyn Feb 28 Sandy---March 10, 1942…

That's great! I love MFP! I am like you, never realized just how much I was eating until I started writing it down. I have been so successful that now I have 5 of my friends doing it too. Like everybody says, it is not a diet, just a more conscious way of eating. I would lose more rapidly if I was not such a couch potato.…

You can add me. I am always looking for more motivating friends. I have been at this for a little over a month. I love it! Every time I go to eat something I remember how many calories I have left for the day and ponder, "Do I really want to blow my calories for the day?". Makes you think twice.
