Hi all! Welcome to Plus Size Barbies week 12. We have decided to change the format slightly and along with a fitness challenge to also include a food/health/lifestyle challenge.

This week the fitness challenge will be travel 15 miles by either walking/jogging, elliptical or bike. This would be an average of 3 miles 5 days a week. Log in each day with the distance you were able to accomplish that day:
Monday:
Tuesday:
Wednesday:
Thursday:
Friday:
Saturday:
Sunday:

The other challenge post a favorite recipe to share.

I hope everyone has a good week and also can get over the bump it seems that most of us seem to be on.

Weigh in should look like the example below.
Weigh In: current weight
P.S.B Starting Weight: (your starting weight for Plus Size Barbies)
Week 1 Goal: (your goal weight for week 1) – Actual (Your weigh in weight)

    Here is my recipe. This was in the employee newsletter where I work. It came off of eatingwell.com and it is AMAZING!

    Ham & Cheese Stuffed Chicken

    Ingredients
    1/4 cup grated Swiss, Monterey Jack or part-skim mozzarella cheese
    2 tablespoons chopped ham
    2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
    Freshly ground pepper to taste
    4 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (1-1 1/4 pounds total)
    1 egg white
    1/2 cup plain dry breadcrumbs
    2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
    Directions
    Preheat oven to 400°F. Use a baking sheet with sides and lightly coat it with cooking spray.

    Mix cheese, ham, mustard and pepper in a small bowl.

    Cut a horizontal slit along the thin, long edge of a chicken breast half, nearly through to the opposite side. Open up the breast and place one-fourth of the filling in the center. Close the breast over the filling, pressing the edges firmly together to seal. Repeat with the remaining chicken breasts and filling.

    Lightly beat egg white with a fork in a medium bowl. Place breadcrumbs in a shallow glass dish. Hold each chicken breast half together and dip in egg white, then dredge in breadcrumbs. (Discard leftovers.)

    Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts; cook until browned on one side, about 2 minutes. Place the chicken, browned-side up, on the prepared baking sheet. Bake until the chicken is no longer pink in the center or until an instant-read thermometer registers 170°F, about 20 minutes.

    I made this one up the other day
    Crockpot Fajitas
    2 lbs of chicken
    1 jar salsa (I use salsa verde)
    1 cup diced onion
    1 green pepper
    1 red pepper

    Cut chicken and peppers into strips and put everything in a crock pot on low for 6 hours.

    Serve on tortillas
    super easy.

    Posting one of your raw recipes might be interesting though. We could all see what a meal looks like in your house.

    I am interested in this group. I have been reading for a few weeks but not posting. I hope to come back with all my info but first I have to admit it to myself before I can post it here. (How sad is it to be embarassed around a bunch of ladies who are dealing with the same stuff I am) I will get my stats together and be back later to post!

    I really enjoy reading and I hope to stay motivated enough to come back daily!

    TIna you are always welcome :) Newme was gone and Svey and I notice there wasn't a posting that week so we took it upon ourselves to help her out and post. PSB will always be Newme's group but it gets to be much for one person when they have a life out side of MFP as shocking as that is. She has decided to take a break and between the three of us we will keep it going. Weigh in is still the same as before it was just off last week due to the late posting. We thought it would be fun and keep it more interesting if we included two types of challenges (one fitness and one food/nutrition/health) each week and you can do both or just one of them or none it is up to you. It was just a thought since we saw a drop off of participation and thought we would spicy it up a little. PSB will always be Newme's group but it gets to be much for one person when they have a life out side of MFP as shocking as that is. I hope that explains things.

    Jaime, you do not HAVE TO do anything that makes you uncomfortable. You are welcome to post your weight if you feel it will be motivaltional to watch your progress in this tread every week. We aren't going to ask you to leave if you don't want to do that. Feel free to drop in for any reason (weigh in, join our challenges, or just chat). The thread is supposed to be supportive and motivational. No one will force anything out of you.

    Except for Tina. I demand that she gets her azz in gear and posts more often. :laugh:
