90 calorie Brownies
So have you tried the new Fiber On 90 calorie brownies? I bought the Chocolate Peanut Butter ones yesterday.... they are not too bad! A little dry.... but the flavor is good and it helps get me through my chocolate cravings!

Finally passed the 10 lb. loss (w/photo)
First time I've ever posted a photo, so I hope this works! 1st photo was taken in July and 2nd one was taken yesterday, Aug. 20, after I passed my mini-goal of 10 lbs. 11 lbs. lost today! Not sure I can see much of a difference though, but I've also lost 10 1/2 total inches (bust, waist, hips & thighs), so I must be doing…

Spaghetti Squash
So I bought my 1st Spaghetti Squash tonight as recommended by a friend of mine. She roasts hers, the shreds it into strands and tops with sauce. What are you favorite ways to fix it? Looking for some other recipes. Thanks MFP Friends!

Stationery Bike or Regular Bike?
Good morning MFP friends! I need some input. Because of a knee problem I have, I can only do exercises with no impact to my left knee or leg. Bicycling has been recommended to me. So I am planning to buy either a regular bike or a stationery (since I can only afford one!) My old regular bike died and went to heaven.... so…

"Sneaky" Cereal!
So I was surprised this morning when I logged my calories for the "Honey Graham Oh's" cereal that I ate for the 1st time. All other cereals that I have eaten in the past listed their "per serving" size as 1 cup - usually 100-110 calories for what I normally eat. As I logged the Honey Oh's, I realized their "per serving"…

A Good Morning NSV!
So if any of you are like me, you can relate. Usually when I put a shirt on that has recently been washed & dried, I am pulling and tugging on it to stretch it out so it will "flow" over my hips and butt without clinging. This morning I put on a shirt I wear (and tug & pull) all the time that I washed yesterday and lo and…

No lost lbs, but lost inches
So..... I weigh and measure at the same time every week.... Saturday mornings. This morning I weighed first and was really disappointed I had not lost even a lb. UGH! Then I measured and had a total loss of 2 1/2 inches.... (hips, thighs, waist & bust). I guess I'm wondering why the lbs. are at a standstill. I never eat…

Healthy Cookbook
I am a big collector of cookbooks... unfortunately not many of mine include a lot of "healthy" recipes. Even with the great stuff you can find on the internet, I would like to purchase a new cookbook to go with my new healthy lifestyle. I love just sitting and reading through the recipes with the book in my HAND.... and…

Movie Reviews
Name a movie that you've recently (or not so recently) seen and give a review..... good.... bad..... ok? Worth seeing? I saw "Cowboys & Aliens" last weekend. I must say it was...... different. I thought it was ok.....not the greatest I've seen, but then there are others I talked to to really liked it. Would I recommend it?…

Unexpected NSV
Ever have one of those blouses or shirts that you have to leave the last 1or 2 buttons open at the bottom so it will fit around your butt?! Well I have one of those I've been wearing for awhile..... always had to leave the last button open. This morning I put it on and I can know button the last button and it's still loose…

No Impact Exercise
So.... I get really jealous when I read all the posts about how and what kind of exercising everyone is doing. I USED to be that person..... but I had to have arthroscopic knee surgery in January for a torn meniscus and even know I am unable to do any kind of exercise that impacts my left leg or knee. It seems that not…

"Chocolate Covered" Banana
One of my new favorite desserts..... chocolate covered banana! Or at least my interpretation of it! Might seem a little indulgent, but once in a while, it's ok to indulge! 1 cup of Snack Pack or other brand - Fat Free or Sugar Free Chocolate Pudding - 80 calories 1 medium Banana - about 105 calories. Total of 185 calories.…

Healthy Shrimp Toast
One of my favorite things from the Asian restaurant is Shrimp Toast. But traditional shrimp toast is full of calories, being as it's nothing but deep fried bread with shrimp paste. Does anyone have a good recipe they've tried of a more healthy version?

Scales
I read so many posts of members whose scales weight in lbs. AND oz. My current scale is a digital scale and weighs only in lbs. Do I want to invest in a new scale that also shows oz.? Is it that important? (I guess any weight lost, including just an oz. IS important) Your thoughts? :huh:

Do you record Vitamins/Medications
I take glucosamine chondrotin daily and never even thought about it until I just took one a few minutes ago and looked at the bottle...... each table has 15 calories! I guess I need to record those calories daily too..... How many of you record calories from vitamins, supplements or medications..... or have even thought…

How Often Do You Weigh & Measure?
I'm sure there's other posts out there with the same question...... but I can't seem to find them. So how often do you weigh and/or measure yourself while on your weight loss journey? I try to weight & measure once a week.... but then there are some days I'm just so curious, I'll weigh. How about you?

Hi Everyone, I joined this site months ago at the request of a family member, but really didn't do anything with it until this week. I decided to get serious about this weight loss and I LOVE THIS SITE! I love being able to keep track of the food, calories and exercise and progress. I really like the Message Boards and…
