Greek Yogurt lovers - (plain) How to sweeten it
I love greek yogurt, but the only kinds that I have had were little mini cups with blueberries on the bottom and the other was with honey. I loved the blueberry one, but the honey was disgusting (think it was bad). So this time, I bought a big tub of plain greek yogurt and a bunch of fresh blueberries. Today, I had a half…

62lbs and still going (pic heavy)
I was never the type of person who relied on the scale. It was how I felt about myself that was more important. Then, I looked in the mirror. I was mortified. It literally clicked in one day. I had to make a change. When I first started, I didn't want to weigh myself. I refused. Then a week later, I found MFP and decided…
