    QOTD Saturday:

    What do you do when you reach a plateau, what works for you and how do you stick to it?

    been fortunate so far since I've started that I've only seen bumps around TOM which generally have meant bigger losses a week down the road... my plan this time is when I hit a plateau is to re-evaluate my weight loss goals. Right now, my daily calories are hovering right around 1200, so that may be a time to reset and add some food. I'll also look at my workout routine and see if there are things I could do to shake that up as well.

    this one is quick on the preparation time but takes a while to bake - take skinless-boneless chicken breasts and season with either salt and pepper or southwest seasoning (salt, pepper, various chili powders, etc) then dump a bunch of fresh salsa on it (canned will probably work too but we do it after having tons of tomatoes in the garden). then we just bake it until done. It's turned out to be the moistest and tender version of baked chicken we've done!

    I haven't hit one yet thankfully. I imagine I will take the advice of everyone here and switch things up a bit. Perhaps zig-zag..I was always curious about that.

    On a major time crunch I will throw together a veggie and egg white scramble. Sometimes I will throw some pre-sliced ham or something like that and salsa in. Mmm yummy, super low cal and it all takes less than 5 minutes!

    Since the garden in starting to get harvested, it is usually cooking up some yellow zucchini. I throw it in a pan with a little bit of margarine, garlic powder and water. Then I just let it cook covered until it is tender.

    Hardest for me during workyear is breakfast time! So, I would make an egg fritatta to eat for the week.
    I would chop up all the veggies I like (bellpepper, onion, mushrooms, jalapenos, spinach)
    Miix veggies with egg whites and add salsa, pour into baking pan. Bake in the oven @ 400 degrees for about an hour . Each morning I will put a slice in the microwave after sprinkling some shredded cheese on it. Love this recipe!

    Sorry I have been MIA- it has been an insane weekend!

    Friday's QOTD: Who has been the most inspirational/motivating person to you since you started trying to improve your health and why?
    My boys are my inspiration. Everything I do- I do for them. I want to set the best possible example for them and I want them to be healthy and have a healthy momma.

    What do you do when you reach a plateau, what works for you and how do you stick to it?

    When I reach a plateau I get frustrated and normally give up. I am trying to change that. I know that with all the lovely diamonds I will be successful.

    SMOOTHIES! I take 1/2 C Dannon lite and fit vanilla yogurt, 1/2 C blueberries, 1/4 OJ and 1/2 C strawberries- blend and go. YUM!

    At the moment i'm really liking No pastry quiche. I use 2 eggs and a cupfull of skimmed milk for the basic quiche mix and then add in whatever veggies are at hand. The mix fills a 6 hole muffin tray, And only takes about ten mins to cook

    Been busy this weekend, sorry I haven't posted.

    Saturday's question... I'd have to regroup and figure out ways to change things up to get the numbers moving again. Change in exercise seams to work well for me.

    Today's question... I really just pull leftovers when I'm in a time crunch. I just have to make sure to measure it out to avoid over-eating. If I were to make something though it would be a salad. Boring I know but I have 4 kids and keep pretty busy so I just use what I've got:wink:

    Egg whites and toast and turkey sauage. It take maybe 10 mins to make in the morning. Better than a bowl of cereal.

    What is your favorite healthy recipe to make when youre on a time crunch?

    If I'm in a time crunch (usually in the morning) I like to just crab something and go. So for me I like to have stuff that you don't have to cook. I grab things like nuts, string cheese, cereal, fruit, yoplait smoothies, peanut butter sandwich, applesauce, etc.

    One recipe I like for dinner that is not time consuming is to make a pizza. I use a tortilla wrap, add 1/4c tomato sauce, sprinkle some italian seasoning, add some shredded cheese (sometimes I even use the string cheese), and veggies (I usually add onions and green bell peppers). Bake it in the oven until the cheese is melted. I've also made a BBQ chicken pizza almost the same way. Just use 2 tbsp bbq sauce, shredded cheese, onion, and grilled chicken, and sometimes I add a piece of turkey bacon (cooked & crumbled). So good!

    I like to make soup. Chicken soup with lots of veggies. If I dont have time, then I grab a Progrsso Light.

    I back at work today. Sent the last 4 days taking care of my daughter. She had a small surgery don on 7/21. She is doing better than I thought she would. I can now walk around the house and warm herself food.

    Hi DITR....I'm so glad to be part of this group. I, like many others, look forward to shopping....I also have a few dresses that I look forward to fitting into. I normally exercise but was so discouraged because I was not seeing any results. However, now that I'm been on the MFP my eating habits are more regulated which has allowed me to lose some pounds. Small results really motivate!!
