I have found that Joseph's - Flax, Oat Bran & Whole Wheat Flour Lavash Bread is really good. Instead of an english muffin...why not roll it up in one of these?!?!? It's like a taco shell with way less calories and lots of healthy stuff added and super soft. You can use them for so many different meal ideas. They also make…

that sounds really good!!! thanks for the recipe!

I'm totally in the same boat. First off...it all takes time. Try making changes slowly. Like drinking skim milk rather than 2%. Eat frozen fruit when you have those sweet tooth cravings coming on. When you go to McDonald's don't get the meat on the breakfast sandwiches. Every little bit counts. When I first started out I…

I'm not a vegetarian...but I'm not much of a meat person either. I would love to hear some ideas from our fellow MFP friends.

oh i've got the same problem. For some reason...i've changed up my eating habits, started p90x...on week 3 and darn it...i haven't budged a bit. The scale goes up and down...i assume water weight and my inches...nothing yet. Only thing keeping me going is p90x right now...hoping to see some results by day 90. I know i'm…

thanks...i'll have to give some of those recipes a try! Always looking for something new.

i'm a road runner myself too....I always feel like i'm about to fall off those darn treadmills...LOL

i'll give it a try...thanks! Jolene

oh how fun....do let us know how things went. My family is going in October...can't wait!!!

Oh wow...you're life sounds a lot like mine....busy for everyone else and not taking enough time for you. I think first you need to start with that. You are entitled to take some me time each and every day. You're kids will learn this new behavior with you. I've just started working out at home and at first the kids were…

WOW.....great job. I too have a busy schedule with 4 kids, working full time and soon to start school. I'm in my second week of p90x. I was skeptical about the program but I said it's now or never. I'm gonna make this work. I have 4 kids that will be following my foot steps. In week 2 I'm already starting to see the…

oh i hear ya bigguy....i'm so sick and tired of not being able to even loose one simple pound. It is so hard to eat food for the good when it's been so bad for me. there are days i just want to cry. I don't understand it either. It's amazing with what you have lost. I just started the P90X program and I'm really loving the…

i'm thinking fruits and veggies are best for snack. For lunch i've been trying to eat more protien.....such as Joseph's Flax oat bran & whole Wheat Lavash Bread with PB and Banana. Very very very very filling. Calories add up fast but it satisfies you all afternoon till dinner time!!

i think it's better to eat the fruit than drink the fruit!!

way to go doc!!!! welcome!

oh that's wonderful...after day three it will be so much easier. And after that you'll wonder why you smoked in the first place. Keep up the great work!! =)

Good luck Roxie!!! Take it one pound at a time and focus on those lifestyle changes to make a stronger healthier you!!! Jolene

wow that's a mouth full......and it's okay to vent. What I have found is....people that make fun of who you are lack what you have. They are jealous. To make themselves feel better it's easier to put someone else down. You're doing the right thing by being here and caring about who you are. It saddens me people treat…

WELCOME WELCOME WELCOME!!!!!!!! Glad hear you want to make a difference and be a healthier you!!! Good luck on your journey =)

hey sarah...i'll look for you. I'm pretty new at this too. Always nice to see more people caring about their health! =) jolene

Awesome!...welcome aboard. Jolene

Thanks Mollie...I needed that. Yesterday was a bad bad day for me.....the whole weekend for that matter. I knew I made wrong choices yesterday and over the weekend so I finished the night with a two mile run. Today is a new day. The sun is out and today i'm gonna give it 100%. Hoping my P90X comes in the mail tomorrow so I…

Welcome Patti!

go for it snowangel...You can focus on both...trying to loose weight and traking it on MFP will keep your mind off of the smoking. Try to change up those habits and go for the good ones. Good Luck!!! you can do it =)

wow...that's pretty awesome! Congratulations!!! I've hesitated getting the program thinking I might loose interest. Right now I try to walk 60 minutes a day and occationally I throw in a run. I'm 32. 5'6" and weigh 184.2......would love to give it a try. What's your ratings?
