Looking for friends! 20 lbs to loose :)
Hi my name is Allison, and I'm looking for friends on MFP! I've been on it for five days. I have used MFP in the past and had success loosing about 18 lbs several years ago when I was feeling flabby.

Portobello & Asparagus salad
I was watching the Food Network this morning, and I saw Paula Deen make this dish. I ran out and got the ingredients, and it was so delicious I have to share it!!! You can add noodles to make it more of a meal, or have as a side salad. The spices and lemon juice really make this dish. Oh, and I broiled the veggies because…

6 weeks in + progress pics
I'm Allison, and I joined MFP on March 28th. I've lost 14 lbs, but so far I haven't really noticed a difference when I look in the mirror. And no one has noticed my (small) loss yet. But I feel healthier and am making better choices for myself, and I notice that my clothing fits better. I did not loose a pound last week,…

just sayin'
People cannot "eat healthy." They can eat a healthy meal, or they can eat healthily. Healthy is an adjective. Use it when describing people, places, or things. Healthily is an adverb. Use when describing actions. :bigsmile:

no change during week 2 :(
Just weighed in. After going from 150 to 145 the 1st week, I did not change during week 2. The good news is that the scale didn't go up either. And I'm eating better and exercising. I hope that after this week I see a another change on the scale!
