A wonderful break-feast...!!!
My hubby is no help with my weight loss! Though he is losing weight (because of what I'm cooking for dinner) he still likes to eat like a king. I let him fix his own breakfast and he will eat pancakes, eggs, bacon, and toast. It all smells wonderful while he cooks it but I resist the urge to try anything. Usually for…

I don't feel like eating veggies
I usually get plenty of vegetables and fruits, but the last few days I have had to make myself eat them. I don't know what is wrong. I don't dislike veggies. I am not craving salads or fruit. I am worried because I am eating a lot of empty carbs. I am staying in my cals because of exercise. I guess I just need to confess…

How many calories are in a Taco Bell Taco... REALLY

Got me thinking -
Any thoughts on the GNC style suppliments - Chormium Picolinate, L-lysine, L-carnatine, multi-vitamins, etc. I know that a well rounded diet should cover most of the bases for minerals, vitamins, and the like, but what you experienced regarding suppliments? I used chromium for a while, as well as EAS "Betagen", and…

Carnation Instant Breakfast
So, does anyone else have any positive/negative experience with drinking this stuff? I notoriously under-eat and it's been a good chunk of calories in the morning that doesn't upset my stomach while I'm waking up. What I'm worried about is the high sugar content, but then they have a ton of vitamins in them... Just…

Choosing an Eating Style: Quantity vs. Quality
There are many roads to take on this journey to a total lifestyle change, and what works for one, doesn't work for everyone else. I think it's interesting to take a look at your own eating style to determine how to take on healthy eating and weight loss. So here's a question: I have a one-pound Hershey's chocolate bar. I…

Digital Food Scale
I purchased an amazing digital food scale this weekend that has over 900 pre-programmed food items in it. For example, if you put a banana on the scale, it will tell you exactly how many Kcal, prot, carbs etc for the portion you have chosen. It's really cool. You can even program meals into it! I love it because my…

Macaroni and Cheese
Has anyone noticed that the "prepared" nutritional data on the box is kinda high. I wondered where all the calories were coming from, so I added up the "unprepared" data, the information for the milk and the information for the margarine, and discovered that there are almost 100 calories fewer per serving than the box…

A low fat sauce for pasta or veggies?
I have been eating A LOT of steamed broccolli, cauliflour, and whole wheat pasta. But everytime that I eat it I spray Parkay butter spray (just like I Can't Believe It's Not Butter Spray). I have been going through a bottle a week and I am kind of getting tired of it. Fat-free cheese tastes bad and I can't think of…

Fortune cookies are a killer
I love chinese food - especially the fortune cookies. A fortune cookie is over 100 calories, even my single reeses cup isnt' that much. I just wanted to spread the word. Fortune cookies are fun and tasty but a killer in the calorie count :cry:

8 year old daughter.
My oldest is 8 years old. We moved in with my grandparents about 3 years ago. We never had a problem with her weight until then. At the time we first moved in, I was working and they would watch her. Often I would come home and they would rave about how she had eaten 2+ cans of Ravioli or spaghettie-o's. You can imagine my…
