Turkey Cabbage Soup
Turkey Cabbage Soup (low fat AND low calorie) Years (actually, decades) ago when I joined Weight Watchers, they gave us a recipe for cabbage soup that was to be eaten every day, as it was filing, nutritional, and low fat/carlories...plus, it was quite the colon cleanse - whew! LOL The original recipe was kinda bland, but…

Age 53 and 56 lbs. lighter in one year!
Wow…a whole year of MFP! Time sure flies when you’re determined! OK, so what can I say that will inspire the masses? Let me start by giving you a little background… A year ago today, I was a 53 year old happily married wife and mom of 3, standing 5’3” tall, and weighing in at a whopping 225 lbs. I had my last child at age…

Need ideas for high protein / low cholesterol foods
Sheesh! WHY is it that whenever I try to increase my protein, my cholesterol rises exponentially? Seems like all protein foods are also high in cholesterol. Any ideas to increase protein without increasing cholesterol would be much appreciated! Thank you! :flowerforyou:

Free: good used clothes, Toronto area
Wish there was an "MFP Freebies"-type of forum here for cast off clothing! But since there is not, I will post this and hope for the best... I have serveal articles of good used (and some new!) clothing in sizes 18-24 that I no longer fit into. I thought of keeping them "just in case" I ever gain this weight back, but then…

Calling all techie gurus!
Being stuck in the 90's as far as technology goes (meaning I am tech impaired), I thought I would appeal to the younger folks who always seem to know more about computers than my generation does.... ..So, here the thing: Hubs and I are finally going away on a weekend vaca and leaving our 13 yr,. old in the dutiful hands of…

Calling MFPers who have had success and then stalled!
Anyone else lost a lot of weight and then completely stalled? I have lost 43 lbs. since Sept. 2012, of which I am thrilled, but since March, I have lost & gained, and lost & gained, and lost & gained (OK, you get the picture) the same 2 lbs.....and I am so frustrated! :grumble: How about you?

Ever hit an unbreakable plateau after months of success?
I'm a 53 yr. old menopausal female. I started MFP in Sept. 2012 and, up until a month ago, I've lost 43 lbs, and am halfway to my goal. I started at 1200 calories, but increased them over time, little by little, as my activity increased (mostly cardio, as I am handicapped with two really damaged knees). I am not regimented…

Time for a change?
I started MFP in Sept,. 2012 at 1,200 calories. I was losing, but I was starving all the time. In November, I changed to 1,350 calories. I felt much better without the hunger pains and still lost weight, albeit at a slower rate. I have stayed with that ever since. This past week, I didn't lose an ounce, yet I am always…

Old(er) lady reaches Onederland! Woot!
I've been on every diet known to man, from Atkin's to Optifast. I have yo-yo dieted so often, lost and gained so many times, that by all calculations, I should now be hanging from a charm bracelet. lol :laugh: At 53 years of age, I weighed 225.5 lbs. and had just about given up until I joined MFP in mid Sept. 2012. OMG, I…

How much did you lose before anyone noticed?
I started at 225.5 and have lost 25 lbs. (almost at Onederland....yay!), but no one seems to think I look thinner (well, at least no one has said anything positive to me yet), even though my former "fat pants" are falling off of me. I guess some folks don't show a weight loss until they reach a certain amount, so my…

Any avid couponers/bargain hunters/upcyclers here?
One of my favourite hobbies is saving money. (I seriously love spending it, too, but that's another thread. :laugh: ) I started upcycling a few years ago and have turned a lot of trash into treasures. I also love couponing, but since I live in Canada, we can't be as "extreme" as some of our southern neighbours can. I…

Does it matter where your calories come from?
One of my MFP friends with whom I have shared a mutual supportive MFP friendship got a bit irritated with me today, and I feel bad because I only wanted to be a supportive friend by making a suggestion. If I am wrong, I will fess up and ask for forgiveness, so please let me know what you think.... Upon reviewing her diary,…
