If your thyroid is at a 6 and you dropped one of your daily work outs i can see how you could gain some weight. Also some of your weight gain is more than likely muscle that you have gained from working out, muscle weighs more than fat. Could be TOM water contributing to the weight. If your thyroid is working properly, it…

Greg, thank you so much for your service for our country. You are an inspiration for me. I don't have any physical limitations when it comes to working out other than my knees giving me a tough way to go occasionally. My only limitation os my mind and it has been holding me back lately. Reading your post has made me…

You can cube it into about 1 inch pieces and cook it in a skillet with some canned tomatoes, onion and green peppers. If you want a little more substance you can put it on pasta or throw in some lean meat. Beef, chicken or ground turkey. Season with some italian seasoning. Cook till eggplant softens. Sauté onions first and…

Immmm baaaack! Good morning Bellas, Just caught up reading the posts and can't figure out why I am so hungry but all the crock pot talk has got me. Could be the lack pf decent food the last few days. I haven't logged anything, but will get back on it today. I have a couple crock pot cook books, but haven't used them I will…

Good evening, just a quick checking and then hitting the sack. My best friends husband dropped dead yesterday. After dinner last night I packed a bag and wemtto her house. Didn't get any sleep last night, so I am dragging. Hope everyone had a good weekend, and I will catch up in a few days. Nighty night, don't let the…

AHHHHHH it's Saturday Good Morning Bella's! Well this is the 2nd time to send this post. I was almost done and my computer decided it was time to run an update and shut down and did its thing. Thats what happens when you get up for a 2nd cup of coffee and get side tracked for a few minutes! DENISE!!! Congratulation on your…

Good evening Bellas! Hope everyone had a good day and is ready for weigh in. Lori, Elizabeth & Denise What you said about why you are here is my thoughts also. I would have given up months ago if I had not found MFP. So every day that I continue to log food is a bonus. Yes the last couple weeks have been difficult and I…

Marianne you were commenting on sleeveless shirts & daisy dukes an I didn't read the quote on your next post "chaps my hide" and I was thinking of someone wearing chaps with their butt hanging out!, Denise, sorry to hear about your daughters situation, but sometimes living in a normal environment is a big help when trying…

Good evening Bella girls! I have been lurking, but not saying much. Been busy with the season end garden stuff, freezing and canning. looks like I have most of it behind me except for 2 billion jalapeño peppers and 4 billion Serrano peppers. The jalapeños will get roasted, I like to leave them to turn red and then pick…

Yum, will give a try

Happy Friday Bella girls! Hope all had a good weigh in. I am up 1.2, but the way I am feeling, I could tell it wasn't going to be a good week. Lori, I hope your dad is recuperating and they find the cause of the chest pain. Elizabeth, we are here when you want to come out and play. I get the same way. Keep up the good work…

Hi Bellas Sorry I've been quiet. Headache day 4. Last 2days I have been @ 2 seminars, and not eating right, but trying. Lunch yesterday, piece of turkey sub2" long, chips& diet coke. 3 months ago I would have been thrilled with the junk. Tuesday was a morning class and was starved when I left so I grabbed a mc Donald's…

Oops, forgot, but you probably know Therese.... Once the eggplant is almost done, finish by topping with sauce, meat, cheese and finish off however you normally would. The grandkids love Zucchini Parmesan.

Morning Bellas! I saw ev's comment that she made eggplant Parma, &thought I would throw this out there. I slice the eggplant about 3/4"thick. Preheat oven to 350. Mix about 1/2cup each egg beaters &milk in shallow bowl. Pour bread crumbs or what ever you like to use(cereal, crackers etc) on a plate. Dip in egg mixture…

Good evening . This will be short. Major headache today. Karen, so nice to hear a bad experience turned out with such a good ending. Great feeling when you can do something that you know you wouldn't have been able to do not so long ago. Denise, glad to hear you did so well while away from home. I have a small humidifier…

Marianne, I love the scale picture. What a great reminder.

Good morning Bella ladies, I just worked 24 hours in the last 2 days. End of a quarter @ work and they wanted everything possible billed out. Denise, great planning with the food at the buffet, and I like the Olive Garden salad idea. If you were able to pass up up the bread sticks, that's an impressive NSV. Hope you were…

Hi Bellas, If you were not outside about 5am to hear me shouting from the rooftop, 230.3 this morning, just had to yell one more time! Sorry it's just about me right now, will check in with you later. Hugs to all my Bella friends zippity do da, zippiy aye, my oh my what a wonderful day Plenty of sunshine coming my way,…

Morning everyone, I hope all our travelers have a safe trip and don't forget; never drive faster than your guardian angel can fly! Working up the nerve to get on the scale this morning, not sure what I will see, not much in the way of exercise this week. I hope everyone has a good weigh in today. I'll check in later, need…

Good morning, Co gratulations Peggi on the new baby. I love the name Caden. New baby's always make me cry too. Hope everyone is doing well. Can't wait to se pictures. Marianne, great job on the food scouting. Never heard of Jasons, but it sure sounds good. Any food that is wrapped in fresh bread is my favorite! Howard the…

Morning! And welcome Evelyn! This is a great group and love the support. Treadmill dread mill. Got about 20 min in and the knee said that's enough last night. Lori, I may be spending time reacquainting myself with yoga. Years ago I used to do it, but haven't for awhile, that's when I was limber and could still do back…

Hi, love the new name. Had a good day at the dr. Upped the thyroid meds, wants me totally off the allergy meds, need to do Ti- chi, yoga, and more cardio. Happy with the weight loss. BTW he tells me that with family history of heart problems it is not wise to take calcium supplements, as it has a tendency to calcify the…

In advance for the entire week I make what I call a rollup. Take an 8" non stick fry pan and spray a tiny bit of pam in it. I use egg beaters and a 1/2 cup (2 servings) has only 60 calories. I add a tablespoon of cooked bacon bits OR some cooked green pepper and onions OR mushrooms and hot pepper flakes what ever sounds…
