We used to buy the low fat pizza crusts already prepared but I find that I like fajita size tortilla shells or wraps better (if you like thin crust). The key is to dice the toppings really small so the crust isn't weighed down. I dice up lots of mushrooms and add just a little turkey pepperoni. A serving of pepperoni is…

on my plate for tonight: cleaning out my closet of fall/winter clothes that no longer fit (yay!) and then shopping for some new clothes once I see what I have left. Gonna wait to eat until after shopping so I'm not depressed when trying things on in smaller sizes!!!

I'm starting C25K today and hope to run my first 5K on Thanksgiving day. I've never been much of a runner so this should be interesting. I'm hoping that it spurs my weight loss. I've been doing water aerobics since January and I know I'm much stronger than I have ever been so I hope this works in my favor. I need to build…

cut up watermelon or canteloupe and put large chunks on a skewer or popsicle stick and freeze. They make great pops and take longer to eat so you feel full. no cooking needed.

I use dijon mustard, dill weed, sea salt and wisk in EVOO until it looks right. No vinegar but the salt and mustard still give it a salty tang. Not sure of measurements but I just make what I need for one salad at a time.

New clothes baby! I used to hate to shop because nothing fit - looked great on the hanger but really bad on... that kind of thing. Now I go to try things on even if I don't buy. It's just great to have things fit! I love it. This fall I anticipate needing a whole new wardrobe because all my sweaters from last year won't…

We have a group of 4 that hang out regularly and 3 of us are on MFP and log everything. We plan our days so that we can go out to dinner and we all grab our phones and figure out what we are going to have. The 4th friend (not on MFP and not interested in losing weight apparently) gets super frustrated when we spend the…

Wow! you look like a different person! Nice work!

yep only 4 sticks of butter! that's all! It's all in the perspective... love this! :tongue:

43 but healthier than I was in my 30's for sure.

I like to make my own with dijon mustard, lemon juice, dill, salt and EVOO. Sometimes I add smoked paprika and granulated garlic for a kick.

I have problems with low potassium and I can tell when I haven't had enough (combined with too much sodium). I took supplements before when I was trying to regulate and they are not fun. Horse pills and you have to take them with food - it's much better to regulate with your diet. The low-sodium V8 juice is a great source…

what kind of build are you? I'm medium build but large boned - how much do you currently weigh and what size pants on average do you wear? currently weigh 167.8 and wear size 12 - what is your goal weight and why? goal is around 145-150 to be in a normal healthy BMI range - not looking to get super skinny - how old are you…

Get the salad with the light italian dressing on the side. I like it better than the regular dressing - the pasta fagoli has a lot of protein and then you can have a breadstick.

I have to work out at night because I get up at 2:45am to be at work by 4am. I can tell you that it does not get easier to get up earlier. I would love to be able to get up at 5am. When I used to have normal hours of 8-5 I got up at 6 to walk on the treadmill for 30 minutes before an hour commute and it wasn't bad... but I…

yep I agree with other poster... stick to lots of water and walk wherever you can. It doesn't have to spell doom if you plan for what you'll eat and then get some activity in. Swim or run on the beach and walk to local restaurants when you can. Have a great vacay! I leave tomorrow for a fun long weekend of zip-lining and…

oh yeah and "lunch" is at 9am so I eat more often too - usually 4 meals around 300-400 calories.

I currently work 4am to 1pm and get only about 4-5 hrs of sleep a night. I've been on this shift since October 2011. I HATE it... and I've realized that sleep is important for many reasons. The lack of sleep makes me cranky for one. I'm actually surprised that I've lost weight during this time, but I've had to work at it.…

yeah I agree - I don't burn as much doing water aerobics as I used to because I've lost weight. I burned more when I was heavier... now there is less of me working against the water so I don't burn as much. Just have to work harder... :)

I'm soon to be 43 and I can honestly say that I move more and do more now than I ever did when I was younger. My late 20's and early 30's was when I was settling in and getting fat... Now I see that I need to take care of myself and I workout regularly and watch what I eat (Thanks to MFP)... I sat on my *kitten* and ate…

You log the individual pretzel M&M's rather than the number of bags consumed. And a tablespoon measure becomes part of setting the table. :happy:

A YMCA membership, new walking shoes, a new swimsuit in a smaller size after two months of water aerobics and LOTS of bottled water!
