My favorite BB recipe

Flours Famous Banana Bread from Runners World

1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar, plus 2 tablespoons sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup vegetable oil
3 1/2 bananas, very ripe, mashed
2 tablespoons low-fat sour cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
2/3 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped

Preheat oven to 350°F. Sift together first four ingredients. Beat sugar and eggs with a whisk until light and fluffy. Drizzle in oil. Add bananas, sour cream, and vanilla. Fold in flour mixture and nuts. Pour batter into a buttered 9" x 4" loaf pan and bake for 45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Makes 12 servings. *Lower-fat version: Reduce oil to 1/4 cup, add 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce (260 calories, 9 grams of fat).

Calories: 310
Fat: 15 g
Carbs: 41 g
Protein: 4 g

I use whole wheat flour and the applesauce.

Sorry for not sharing my name. My name is Yasmin 35 years old, married with four children. Was doing very well with eating healthy and being fit, then found out that we were expecting our fifth child in april. I had misscarried 6/19 at 12 weeks. Now I'm back to being healthy and fit mama.

Yasmin - Glad to know your name. Sorry to hear about your miscarriage. It's great you're taking care of yourself. We're all with you!

Team Red - We're looking good! Go Team Red! (...of course, today I fell off the wagon but I'm getting back on track right now since my weigh in day is Thursday). Go Team Red!

Hey, y'all!! Sorry I'm late posting. We had company in town this weekend and I started a new job today, so I haven't been around my computer much... Anyway, I stayed the same this week. That's better (much better) than I expected, and I'm hoping for a nice loss to get me back on track next week.

Check out the link please. I'll do the same thing next week and when I get back I'll fix up all the charts and post the pics/charts.

Way to go all that lost this week. Those that gained or maintained let's push harder next week - me included.

Denise Thanks for all the great work.

Yay! Great job my team members for second week in a row.

Denise - Thanks for the chart work! Hope you're enjoying your vacation, too! You're amazing!
Shirley - Congratulations!!!

Red Team - So glad we did it! But I better warn you that I'm struggling this week with overeating and not exercising...it's been hit and miss after two parties on Saturday and Sunday. I'm drinking lots of water and working to get back on track...but it's been hard. Ugh!

Good luck to all of the TEAMS! Focus, Focus, Focus!

jklm

Thanks, Charmaine...Gotta stay focused!

Just wondering if our loser of the week, Shirley, might want to give us a challenge for this week? Of course we want to keep drinking lots of water and work towards losing 1 lb each like Denise encouraged us to do, too!

I struggle with weekends...anybody else who's like me...Let's remember to Stay Committed to this thru the weekend...we CAN do this!

I'm doing really well on vacation so far with logging and making good choices over all. Last night was my only unplanned extra food. Had a snack watching netflix with my hubby that I didn't need but it was cheese and crackers and apple intend of a whoopee pie. It's really hot out today but I think we are going to attempt a nature hike and a visit to the local railway station. Maybe a run over to the lake for a swim in the afternoon. I'm gonna dress for a workout cause will be probably counting this as a workout. Keep doing well friends.

LadyPersia

ok ok...I know that Im jumping the gun and I should not even use this weight but today the scale said 142......Just needed to share it. My tom is coming and I always lose weight so it doesnt count cause by the second day I'm back up. It just looked like such a beautiful number:)

Congrats on the loss Kim! That's awesome!

I'm up a pound! How is that even possible?! I'm not going to weigh in today because it can't be real. I went over my calories one day and I have made up the calories on my other days.

cmpettey

OK so this is weird but a few minutes later and now instead of gaining a pound, I lost a half. I guess I'll weigh in after all.

188.4.

A loss of 0.4 but considering I was up a pound just half an hour ago, I'll take it! I've had big losses the past two weeks too so I'm bound to have a smaller loss day.
