I am so proud of myself... I have made dinner and my next day's lunch with the extra 3 nights in a row! For some this may not be such a big deal, but for me it is definitely a big deal. I rarely cook and I always buy lunch or just grab a latte and donut. I feel so good this week, I am eating better and saving $$$.

For any of you who have to pack lunches for school or work... check out the "Fit & Fresh" products, they are awesome. Most of the products have measurements on them, so it makes it very quick and easy to throw together. They also come with ice packs that fit right into the container to keep your items cool. I love the salad container, it has a dressing dispenser, just turn the knob, your dressing dumps onto your salad, shake and enjoy!

    Good for you!

    I'm too cheap to buy lunch out for work.
    My hubby grills chicken breasts for me on the weekends & then I have one with raw veggies or salad each day.
    It works really well for me.

    The salad container is fantastic! The dressing compartment holds 4 TBSP! Not sure if you saw my post the other day, but I also discovered that mixing 2 TBSP of Salsa to 2 TBSP of Ranch only adds 10cals and gives you plenty of dressing! Yum!

    For sure we will make a cooker out of you in no time! The another good benefit is that you know what you are eating! Keep it going!

    That is so awesome!! I love to cook, but my problem was what I cooked...with the help of this website, a few others, & a good friend I am learning how to cook healthier for me...so trust me I understand what you mean about picking up something on the go though, it is so much easier...but healthier & saving money...you can't beat it!!! GOOD LUCK doll!!!
  • I cooked quesadillas for my mom and I last night!!!

    Wheat tortillas...low fat cheese..low fat sour cream..grilled steak tips (yum)..and salsa for dipping..it was DELICIOUS!!
