Hi again, I want to modify my intro post. Sorry if this is a little long, but it's important that I tell you where I'm coming from. My name is Nance and I have never had a REAL weight issue...not more than 10 or 15 lbs., except when I was on fertility drugs back in my early 40s. When I married in 1999 I weighed 145 lbs.…

Hi everybody, I just joined MFP this week, so this challenge is coming at a perfect time for me. I just hope I can keep up. I've never been this out of shape in my entire life. I'm 56 years old and live with my husband, our dog, Molly, and 2 cats. I've done real well this week with my food diary and exercise, but I'm still…

I have a HUGE waist....46"....it's just 2" smaller than my hips.

Forgot to give you the recipe. Chocolate Smoothie 8 oz. Light Chocolate Silk Milk 1 scoop chocolate protein powder of your choice (I use Jillian Michaels or Designer Whey or GNC; just look for one with lots of protein...18 grams or more and around 100 cals) 1/4 tsp. Guar Gum (available at health food stores) -- adds…

Thanks for the motivation....I'll have to pass on the peanut butter idea, though. I've banned it from the house...at least temporarily, until I can get a handle on my cravings for it. But, it's a great idea for later. Thanks for your encouragement. Nance
