Turnips??!?
What in the heck do you do with these things?? My neighbor brought us over a whole sack full, and I have never cooked one, or have even ever really thought of making/using them. I'm too lazy to look up recipes on the net - would much rather get some healthy, tasty ideas from the awesome members of MFP. Any ideas??

Here goes! Face pics after 60 lbs gone!
I still can't believe I am doing this, but after seeing the side-by-side difference last night, I am very excited! Still want to lose 40 pounds or so, but with the awesome friends that I have made here on MFP and all of the success stories that I read daily, I know I can do it! I started MFP Feb 9, 2012 with the goal of…

Achilles Tendinitis
Anyone else suffering from this? I've been tentatively diagnosed with this, but there has not been much follow up from my doc, other than "this is what you have." Chronic pain/inflamation in my left Achilles, and it does not matter what I am doing. Nothing helps the pain - it's just there. Starting to wear on my nerves a…

No right to complain...get your tissues ready...
It's been a crummy week at our house, and to top it off, I have been sidelined with tendinitis in my left Achilles. My attitude has been poor, to say the least.

My goal was to get this weight off by my 40th birthday, and I started MFP on Feb 9, and my birthday is Aug. 12. It is going so well!!! However, I started to think how my goal was really within my…

Shoe size and where do you shop??
Hello, you beautiful, tall women!! I am 5'11, and once upon a time (before babies), I wore a size 11 shoe. Not the easiest size to find, but still do-able. Since my pregnancies, I am now wearing a 12.5 to 13. Not cool. Since I gained weight with each pregnancy - I haven't bothered trying to find cute shoes...however, now…

Am I asking too much??
We have three teens in the house - 14, 16 and 18. Also have two preschoolers, 4 and 5. When I go grocery shopping, I am very cognizent of the different age groups in our home, along with me eating healthier. There are things that I will buy for myself - low cal/low fat treats as well as stuff that is specifically for the…

First major NSV's!
1. Fitting into a pair of shorts that I haven't been able to wear since before I was pregnant with my daughter (who will be 4 in April!). 2. Being able to wear my husband's t-shirts again. 3. Best one yet: having my husband say, "I'm proud of you, baby!" Have a great weekend everyone!

Hi Everyone!
I started MFP on Feb 9, and have been doing it alone - but am at the point where I would like to build a community around me! I am 39, currently a stay-at-home Mom (Speech Pathologist by trade), and got into some really bad habits when my little guys were babies....drinking coffee all day and not really eating anything at…
