1/2 pint fresh raspberries, (about 1 1/4 cups)
1 1/2 cups fresh, frozen or canned pineapple chunks
PREPARATION
Divide and layer yogurt, raspberries and pineapple into 4 glasses.

Emotional challenge:
Someone in your life that has contributed to your weight gain....how will this change once you love yourself....
As I have mentioned before, the biggest contributor to the emotional binges, was my mom. I never felt as if i was what she wanted or what she expected me to be. I remember just conitnuously trying and trying to do thing sthat made her happy adn in the end getting shut down. I began to love myself around the age of 19, when i realized it was time to start pleasing myself. Since then my weight was always the same until i got pregnant. This ofcourse was another reason to hear it from mom, since i am unwed. The good thing was that this time i didnt let her get to me. Now, my drive is my daughter. I started this weightloss to show her healthy living but also, so that she will see that healthy doesnt always mean thin. I am determined to be healthy even if im not thin. I dont expect to be a size "0" i expect to change my life and seperate food from emotion. I love myself enough to stop pleasing others, especially my mom and start jus being me!0 -

Food Challenge: Healthy Kids Meal
Recipe challenge- for this challenge we will each submit a Kids Meal recipe to our team thread, you will receive 1 point for this, take a vote on your team and then submit the best Kids recipe to our main thread, we will then all vote for the best recipe on the main thread and the team with the most votes will receive 1 extra point for this challenge. (the catch is you cannot vote for your own team). Remember to include the nutritional content in your receipe.
Emotional Challenge:
What excuses have you made (to yourself or others) in the past for your weight, and how do you stop yourself from falling back into the "I am heavy because...." attitude?

Emotional Challenge:
I always blamed my weight on my pregnancies, when in reality, I was 80lb overweight before I even got pregnant with my oldest. Im in the mindset now that *I* am responsible for my weight by not being aware of exactly how much I was shoving in my face and *I* am the only one who can change it.0 -

Loss: 0 this week...TOM will be here next wed so I will blame him! If I worked out this am I probably would be down but I am so sore from monday and tuesday I need a day to rest! Sorry Team!
Emotional Challenge: I agree with You Devin...blaming my pregnancies too but I was 215lbs when I got married...gained 30lbs from the time I met my husband til I got married....in only a year and a half from eating terribly! I worked at a doctors clinic where food was catered in for lunch ( they were like 4 course meals!!) and someone was always having a potluck for something!! Not to mention trying to match my husband's eating....he can eat ALOT!! So now this is my turn to stop making excuses and get my butt in gear!! I know what to do and how to get there just need to not give up and stick with it especially when that dang scale stalls!!0 -

Gina's Weight Watcher Recipes
Servings: 4 • Serving Size: 1/4th of nuggets • Old Points: 4 pts • Points+: 4 pts
Calories: 164.9 • Fat: 4.6 g • Protein: 22.1 g • Carb: 7.7 g • Fiber: 0.9 g • Sugar: 0.1 g
16 oz (2 large) skinless boneless chicken breasts, cut into even bit sized pieces
salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp olive oil
6 tbsp whole wheat Italian seasoned breadcrumbs
2 tbsp panko
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
olive oil spray (I used my Misto)
Preheat oven to 425°. Spray a baking sheet with olive oil spray.
Put the olive oil in one bowl and the breadcrumbs, panko and parmesan cheese in another
Season chicken with salt and pepper, then put in the bowl with the olive oil and mix well so the olive oil evenly coats all of the chicken.
Put a few chunks of chicken at a time into the breadcrumb mixture to coat, then on the baking sheet. Lightly spray the top with olive oil spray then bake 8 - 10 minutes. Turn over then cook another 4 - 5 minutes or until cooked though.0 -
