She fought till the end.
Well, as many of you in the MFP community know, my mom had been very ill for the past 9 months after Dad passed away last August. She fought bravely against cervical cancer, dementia, high blood pressure, and heart disease. She just couldn't fight any more. She had a massive stroke on Thursday May 22 and on Friday May 23…

Some advice..................way off topic!
Okay, so I think someone is hurting my dogs. I have 5 dogs and they stay outside. I live on top of a big hill and the closest neighbors are about 1/2 block away. So anyway, about a month ago we come home from work and my little min pin's eye is all messed up. We just automatically assumed it was a dog fight. So we take her…

May be dumb question....but here goes!
My question is about using the "quote" option. When I use it , it quotes the entire thing. How do you make it only show the specific thing you are responding to? I am not real up on all this stuff, so go easy on my please. Memaw

How do I????
After creating and saving a meal, how do I add it to another day if I happen to eat the same thing again. I don't want to have to add each thing individually again. How do I get it from "my meals" to the food diary? Memaw

I think I'm back!!!
So it's been like 2 months off the wagon. I feel like i am back on the MFP wagon again. The good news is that I didn't really gain any weight. The bad news is I was back to my old bad habits. I am NOT going to let myself do that any more. I will keep getting back on this wagon as many times as I need to until I get it…

Biggest Loser

A whole month blown!!!
February was NOT a good month for me!!!! I'm sure I have gained some weight. I haven't been on the scale in a couple of weeks (afraid to!). First I had the 13 day migraine and that really threw off my eating pattern. Then we were broke and I couldn't shop the way I wanted and needed to. And the past few days I have just…

Big Jug?
Has anyone heard from BigJug? I was just wondering because I haven't seem him post in awhile and he was doing so well until he fell at the gas station or something. I emailed him but haven't heard back. I think there should be a way we could see if they have at least logged on lately so we will at least know they are still…

Biggest Loser
Okay, Biggest Loser litterally made me cry last night. I really thought Mark would be this season's biggest loser and to see him make that sacrifice and really care about his brother and the promise he made to the others was very respectable. I was hoping that Dan would be the one going home. I know he got imunity because…

Migraines Figured Out.....I think
Well, I think the doctor finally figured out what was going on with my migraines!!! At least I hope so. Turns out they were triggered because I quit taking my anti-anxiety medication without consulting the doctor. I will NEVER do that again. I had a MASSIVE migraine and vomiting for 10 days!!! I was miserable. I have never…

Cause of Migraines????
Okay, I don't know if there are any doctors out there, but I sure could use some input here. For the past week I have had MAJOR Headaches. I went to the ER because I had this headache for 3 days and then couldn't stop throwing up. They said it was a migraine. I was given demerol, teradol, vicadin and phenegren for the…

The day just keeps getting better!!
First the jeans fit this morning..... Now I go to lunch, I went to Subway and instead of getting the chips I got a bowl of chicken noodle soup. That was only 80 calories instead of 130 or whatever they are. I love to crunch on chips so that is like a big step for me. They had cream of potato soup which is my all time…
