5 months in and 43 lbs down. Pics--I hope.
Hi all. I started MFP the day after Memorial Day this year. I've never found a program that kept me so motivated, accountable and on track. I have a long way to go, but already I feel better and can fit into some clothes I used to wear. But I don't really see a difference yet. My kids say they do. Do you? Hope this photo…

Rich, creamy delicious butternut squash soup
OMG I think this is the best thing I've had in ages and it is so easy and low-cal. Take a butternut squash (and this is the hardest part) and peel it with a potato peeler, Then cut off the stem, cut the neck from the round part, and cut the round part in half.

Bargains!! I love them!
So I've lost 16 lbs since starting MFP at the end of May, and I wanted to celebrate with a few new outfits. But since I am convinced that I am going to continue to get smaller with this great fitness plan, I didn't want to spend a lot of money. I went to our local Goodwill yesterday and hit the bonanza! Two new pairs of…

"Good for you" fast food
I am a traveling nurse and frequently end up at the drive-up windows. I love Subway, Burger King veggie burgers made "my way" with extra veggies and no mayo, MdDonald's oatmeal and their Asian Grilled Chicken Salad. I would love to hear from anyone else who has found some great-tasting and healthy choices at fast food or…

Off to a good start!

They lost one parent to smoking, and they don't want to lose another from years of self-indulgence. And even though I want to lose more than 100 lbs, after one week my clothes are looser, I have more energy, and my…
