:clapping3: Hi Everyone,

I'm new to the forum and actually this is the first forum I've ever been on. I just started May 2, 2008 and have lost 12 lbs. the first week. I can't believe it !!! I just hope it continues. It seems you all are doing great on it also!! :applause:

[MrsPeel]

Hi,angel_eyes1948! Glad to have you on the Forum - take a moment to set up your ticker so we can watch your progress!

12 lbs. gone in the 1st week is tremendous - you must be so thrilled. Hope you took a "before" photo so you can see your progress later on -

Hi Angeleyes1948!
Welcome to the forum. That is an incredible weight loss for the first week, you will have a tremendous success with the program I'm sure. I am kind of new 2 only 3 weeks in, but I don't weigh every week so I can't tell you about my success, yet only down in pants size and feeling fantastic!

Welcome Aboard!

:applause:

Hi angel_eyes1948, welcome aboard!!! Congratulations on your first week of weight loss - that's awesome! :applause: Keep up the great work. The first week or so was tough for me but everyone on here was such a big help and a great source of inspiration to just stick to the plan.

And Mrs. Peel, if you're reading this, THANK YOU for the tip on the jalapeno peppers! I now have one small jalapeno (seeds and all) every morning with my scrambled eggs and it totally gives it the kick that I need. PLUS it forces me to drink more water - which I really need to work on (I'm not always getting my 64oz per day). But I LOVE the jalapeno idea --- I just never had cooked with them before! THANK YOU!!

Shawn, I did read your message and I am so pleased that your jalapeño helps! MrPeel and I love our spicy stuff, so we rely on the allowed "zings" to keep us going.
You might also like our new fave: ground turkey or ground buffalo mixed with diced mild green chilies and pan-fried as a burger - nice & yummy!

Hi Everyone, thanks for the warm welcome. Sorry it,s taken me so long to respond, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to use the forum. And how do I get the ticker tape on my page and how do I get back to my page ever time ? Or do I just start over every time?

[MrsPeel]

On the main Forum page, second topic from the top is "1st Personal Diet Tickers" - click on that and it will take you to the window where you can design your ticker and select a PIN for it. Once you've made your choices and saved them, you will be given the option of copying a link in HTML or BB code. Copy the BB code and then go to your Control Panel page. Select "Edit Signature" at the top left, and when the window appears, paste the BB code for your ticker into the box. Preview your signature to see that it works. From then on, when you update your ticker on the original link, the changes will automatically show up in your posts.

Easy!

{hi} there Mrs Peel

Hope you don't mind, but I'm going to copy this yummy Buffalo burgers idea into the recipe section :hungry: these chili burgers sound great! or, shall I say: HOT!!!

Thanks, Shasha! We actually had it tonight with ground turkey - and usually I mix the diced chilis throughout the meat, but tonight I tried dividing each meat portion in half, flattening the two pieces and covering one with the diced chilis - then put it together like a sandwich and pan fried it. Chili-stuffed turkey burgers!! :drool:

[Shasha]

{hi} there Mrs Peel

WOW, that sounds really great! Hot stuffed burgers! I would never have thought of that! :applause: So, I’ve copied this into the Chicken Ideas as well… I’m sure Shawn will also enjoy this recipe! :flirt:

[angel_eyes1948]

Thanks sorry it took so long to get back to you

NICE TICKER!!! {goodjob}

{congrats} on having lost 23 pounds so far... cant wait to watch your ticker moving...
{wave}

Mrs Peel - I'm SOOOOOO going to try the chili burger idea! I haven't tried any ground meat recipes yet but this one I think I'll have to try .... A little garlic, crushed crackers for consistency, some parsley, the meat and peppers --- it does sound yummy!

[MrsPeel]

MrPeel especially likes the ground turkey stuffed with diced green chilies!

And look at you, Shawn! You're almost done - and I bet you feel great! Congrats on the successful weight loss :flirt:
