Time for a New Driver's License (w/ pix) :)
I had to pull out my driver's license last week and was shocked to see the picture. Was that really me 5 years ago?? It doesn't expire til 2016, but I'm thinking I may splurge and renew early! :laugh: Can't believe I'm sharing this on here...what an awful picture! I still have a long way to go (it's been 4 years so far)…

19 CALORIE CUPCAKE*****CORRECTION****
I have made these before and they are wonderful...however, for 48 mini cupcakes (if you get that many out of 1 package of cake mix and a diet soda), no matter what cake mix I've tried, they are between 33 and 40 calories each. I just wanted to point that out in case someone makes them and eats a few thinking they are 19…

FAGE Greek yogurt VS. YOPLAIT (FAKE!) Greek Yogurt
I am absolutely in love with 0% Fage Greek yogurt...I add my own fresh fruit and a little honey. I went to buy a new large container of it this morning and my store was completely out of it in any size. So I bought the small container of Yoplait Greek plain 2x protein instead. Huge mistake! Note to self: ALWAYS, always…

I am getting FED UP!!!
Here's my story...I lost 70 lbs on WW about 3 years ago, lost about .5 lbs per week and got down to exactly the weight I am at now (178) . Then I got stuck on a 6 MONTH plateau while doing exactly the same thing I'd been doing while losing the weight. Finally, after working my booty off for 6 mos, I threw in the towel and…

Experts...Why would you lose at a much faster rate
when you stop exercising? I normally (for the last 10 months) exercise 60 minutes min per day/6 days per week (cardio or walking only) and for the past 2 weeks I have had out of town company and been slammed with work making it impossible to squeeze in any exercise. I have maintained the same NET calories though so I am…

Down 70 lbs...(trying this again with Pix!) :)
When I met my husband 22 years ago, I was a size 2 or 4. After we were married, I had a miscarriage and my hormones started getting really messed up. Then I got pregnant again with the first of 3 children, gained 50 lbs, gave birth to an 8 lb baby and lost 1/2 lb total over the next 4 months. Long story short, I could not…

It's working!!! I'm UNSTUCK!
I've been "stuck" at the same weight for 6 weeks. I had been doing everything by the book & still no scale movement. I decided to try Zig Zagging my calories to "shock" my metabolism (the Wendie plan for you WW'ers). In the last 10 days I have lost 3 whole pounds (AMAZING for me!). I found this great thread by Newfiedan…

Successful Calorie Zig Zag Experts...Help!
Okay, I've tried everything else, so I'd like to give Zig Zagging a try. I think I understand the concept, but I need help setting up a calorie schedule... My MFP daily goal is 1290 calories. So my total weekly calories would be 9030. I do eat most of my exercise calories back, so I will leave them out of the base goal and…

For those with a Sweet Tooth (125 cal treat)!
Not really a "recipe", but an easy sweet tooth-satisfying treat similar to S'mores: Take 8 chocolate mini rice cakes (Quakes) and 2 large marshmallows. Cut the 2 marshmallows into 2 halves (so that they are still round, just shorter :) Place each 1/2 marshmallow between 2 quakes and microwave for about 15-20 seconds (watch…

What's your opinion on "treats" & "snacks"?
I'm just curious...what do you think about incorporating treats and snacks into your diet? I'm not talking about "healthy" snacks....I'm talking about candy, cookies, etc. I'll start... I track everything I eat. Between WW & MFP, I've been doing this for 14 months now. My feeling is that this is not a diet, or a temporary…

Anyone like Samoa Girl Scout Cookies?
If so, I have a great substitute for you! Kellogg's Fiber Plus Antioxidants Chewy Bars - Carmel Coconut Fudge taste just like a giant Samoa cookie. Size wise, I would say that the bars are about the equivalent of 4 Samoas. Two Samoas have 150 calories and 8 grams of fat. The Fiber Plus bars have 120 calories and 4 grams of…

Newbie/WW Transplant...needs advice :)
Hello Everyone! I could really use some advice. The only weight loss program I have done for the last 30+ years has been Weight Watchers.
