Today was my birthday...GF cake...YUCK!
Today was my birthday and my sweet husband went to a local GF bakery to get me a birthday cake. It was a beautiful looking cake. When I took a bite, I asked if it was a spice cake. My husband said, no... It was suppose to be white cake with chocolate filling. It was pretty crumbly and IMHO it was pretty bad. I thanked him…

New find!!!
Took all four of my kids to Trader Joes today. What a loud group we are!! All through the store I'm saying, "NO, put that back! I'm not buying that!". Then, my nine year old picked up a package of ginger snap cookies. My first response was, NO! But then a magical word jumped out at me! "GLUTEN FREE!.". I told her to put it…

GF Easter Dessert
I was asked to bring a dessert for Easter dinner. I don't really want to bring a GF cake or fruit tray. Does anyone have a wonderful GF dessert that non-GF people might enjoy? Would love to dazzle them with GF! :) Thank you in advance, TripMom

Is this a NSV?
I've got clothes from size 3X to size 10 in my closet. Since losing 25 pounds the larger sizes don't look good on me. Today I went through my closet and GOT RID OF ALL MY SIZE 3X and 2X CLOTHES!!!!! Yeah!! Is this a NSV? On top of this, XL and even some L are looking decent on me! I love MFP and my friends! Thank you for…

My Elliptical squeaks-CS says use Teflon grease?
I have a NordicTrack 990 Pro Audiostrider Elliptical machine. I love it, but it has started to squeak very loudly after about 30 minutes of use. I called customer service twice and they told me to use "High temperature, multi-use teflon grease." That any hardware store would have it. Wrong!!! Went to Lowes, Home Depot,…

Here I go again! Maybe I'll figure this out this time!
I'm new here. I saw the woman that was on the Today Show that used this site to help her. I've been a big yoyo dieter almost all my adult life. The latest time was in Nov 2009 to March 2010. I lost 40+ pounds. I really thought I had figured eating out and was going to be able to keep it off this time. Then my husband…
