AWESOME!!!! You are truly an inspiration. Thank you for sharing your very moving tale of hard work and stamina. I will keep you in my prayers.

I made the cookies and after they cooled i put them into individual plastic bags and put them in the freezer. When I want a cookie I just take one from the frig and either let it warm by itself or pop it in the micro for 30 seconds. I love them. I for got 1/2 tsp salt. ENJOY!!!

1/4 tsp black pepper 1/2 C vanilla whey powder 2 C oats 1 C dried cherries 1/2 C sliced Almonds Mix all together. Drop on a parchment covered cookie sheet. 350* oven for 16-18 minutes. 12 cookies 258 calories

I bought a book on my Kindle called "The 17 Day Diet" and it is all healthy foods with limited good carbs. Dr. Mike (the author) has a "Dr. Mike's Power Cookie" that I absolutely love. But here it is: 1/3 C Unsweetened Applesauce 2 T Almond Paste 1 T Olive Oil 10 packets Truvia 1/4 C Agave Nectar 1 L egg 1/2 tsp vanilla…

I just love the recipe feature. It is one of the things that make MFP so easy to use. I have put all my favorite recipes into the recipe builder and know just what each food is going to do to my daily allotment of calories. Now I don't think I could be successful without it.

I have a 16oz. insulated glass on my desk and a 16oz. coffee mug. Everytime I fill the glass with water and the mug with decaf coffee or tea I add 2 to the water counter in the food diary. My goal is to drink a gallon a day so when the counter gets to 16 I know I have made it. I don't like plain water so I add MIO to my…

I also have a hard time with plain water but I love love love MIO. It comes in a little squeeze bottle so you add as much or as little as you like and it has ZERO calories and no aspertame. I have a 16oz. insulated glass on my desk and every time I refill it I add 2 glasses of water to my food diary. I love MFP and tell…

I don't know which is better...hot or cold, but I just bought MIO at the grocery store. It makes plain water taste great. I am drinking a gallon of water every day, now. Love it.
