I will be happy to be your friend. I am 54 and also need to lose 100 lb. And I am also back again. And again and again. Lol. At the end of the day though you have to own your weight loss and you have to want this. So let's say you make a bunch of friends on here but then they disappear or don't log in for a few days or a…

Do you search for pasta and then scroll to find cooked? Or do you search for "pasta, cooked"? I have found entries for cooked pasta and rice

I always liked Leslie sansone. She has good energy and a nice vibe

One step at a time. Don't worry about a hundred pounds. Do it 10 lb at a time. You got this!

🙂 Thank you!

Hello! I realize it is the end of January almost. Will this thread continue throughout the year or do you start a new one every month? I am 54. Married. Mother to three adult kids. And two adult black labs. Been a member of MFP for a long time. With yo-Yo progress. Some friends at work and I decided to challenge each other…

The only time I have ever lost weight and kept it off was when I made it a daily habit to log into MFP and track my calories, track my nutrients, and weigh myself on a regular basis. As soon as I either cave in to depression and give up or simply become complacent because I think I've got this, I spiral out of control. I…

I purchased OPTAVIA food many months ago without intending on doing the diet strictly. I was doing it mainly for the easy high protein low calorie foods. There were some that were absolutely disgusting and I won't eat them. There are others that are actually quite good and I love them. I love the fudge pudding, I love the…

Hello everyone! I'm not new to MFP, been dabbling for years. I have been overweight since 1998 when I was pregnant with my second child. In 2003 (I think) I was horrified when I saw I tipped the scale at 206. My ideal weight then would have been 140. I lost most of it going to weight watchers and then thought hey I don't…

Why the rush? Summer weather is at least six weeks away. Lose a healthier 1.5 lbs a week ...in six weeks you've lost 9lbs. Reduce your calories, do some exercise ... Drink water

I chose "Make it up as I go" because I have a combination of things I do. For breakfast I eat the same boring thing every day. Plain greek yogurt w/ some maple syrup, plain instant oatmeal, 16 oz of water. Mid morning snack is a banana. Then a Lean Cuisine for lunch (or even dinner too if I'm stumped). I try to have more…

I lost several days because I was unable to log in on my Android. Trying to catch up. Not sure if my spoiler will still work or not.

Hello! This is the first day I've been able to get back on the forums with my Android phone! Scrolling back to find my last post LOL still looking and I came across your comment. I have tried to post a picture from my phone and it won't let me it keeps saying file failed to load.

Dogs are never insignificant to me mine or anyone else's LOL dogs are the best part of this world

@Lilylady3k that's awesome! And the fire truck thing sounds like fun!

That was a great idea to pass those sweets off elsewhere LOL. I had to scroll up to see what AF stood for because what I thought it stood for totally did not fit in with the context of the post LOL. I currently don't have any wine in the house and I'm not sure when I'm going to get more. I am enjoying 3 oz of Baileys at…

Happy hump day! How's your week going? Except for some persistent back pain I am really in a good place right now. When my Fitbit nudges me to get up and get 250 steps in my puppy now sees that as the trigger for our "tug of war walking with resistance training" game that we have done the last 2 days. I was doing some…

That is so annoying when that happens! In the past that is what has always tripped me up and caused me to go into a depression. And then I'd give up which of course was counterproductive. I am determined not to lose faith when the scale is stubborn. Maybe your scale needs new batteries? I know mine gets wonky when it needs…

I usually "quote" my previous post and then edit from there.

That sounds like a most perfect day!

Good morning everyone! Hope you have a happy Tuesday. I'm working partly from home and later in the office today. Yesterday my puppy gave me quite the workout while doing my steps inside...she wanted to play tug-o-war with one of her toys so it ended up being a great resistance training workout lol Day 17: Sun: 11/7: 270.2…

Ooops almost forgot to check in!!! No change from yesterday but still... I logged over 9,000 steps yesterday and will probably do the same today! :) Day 17: Sun: 11/7: 270.2 Day 18: Mon: 11/8: 270.2 Day 19: Tues: 11/9: Day 20: Wed: 11/10: Day 21: Thurs: 11/11: Day 22: Fri: 11/12: Day 23: Sat: 11/13: 4th Week Goal Weight:…

Oh that's a beautiful picture

Raking is great exercise!! WHOA - THERE'S A NEW DEXTER SEASON? Or is it a follow up movie? I LOVE DEXTER! My fave character is Karen (I think that's her name?) The one with the most creative uses of the F word I have ever heard, lol

Good morning pals. I got a good jump start on the day. Had to take my daughter to the airport and have 2500 steps in before 9:00 a.m.! LOL Have a great Sunday everyone!

Sounds great! Hopefully you can get your mom on the path to healthier eating! Hope she eats the lunch...thinking about my parents, they probably wouldn't have lol

I think your calculations are way off. Shredded cheddar cheese. Per 1/4 Cup: 110 calories; 6 g sat fat (29% DV); 170 mg sodium (7% DV); 0 g total sugars 6.5g protein 20% drv calcium It's not "just" a topping

Woohoo! Awesome to not only be on track but ahead of the game for the week!

Thank you so much!

Hi Chris! You've made excellent progress! Congratulations on being so close to goal!
