    Just for fun: What is your favorite Pumpkin recipe that will help reduce temptations for non healthy treats? I don't have any pumpkin recipes, but tomorrow I'm making chocolate cake with egg whites and apple sauce, throw in half a Reese peanut butter cup and 1 tsp of cream cheese frosty makes a tasty birthday cupcake for the husband.
  • This is the first group I'm going to join because it seems like a good place to start! I need to feel accountable for something lol.

    @DecemberWedding is so right: the closer you get the slower it drops and the harder it gets!!
    I've also upped my daily intake, creeping closer to maintenance calories - that helped to shake things up last month - and maybe contributed to the .2lbs gain.

    Off to Pilates and the gym. Have a fun day every-one.

    We don't really have pumpkin here except for Halloween and then we only use them for lanterns :) I do have a recipe book with Pumpkin pie that I'm going to make for the Americans in the Office at Thanksgiving though!

    A 5 pound loss per month is what my doctor actually wants me to aim for. Let's see if I can do it! :D

    This is a continuation of a group that has run for many months. It is open to anyone who wants to participate. Post your weekly weights, your successes and struggles, and give support to the person above you!

    Before now, I was a HUGE advocate for DQ's Pumpkin Pie Blizzards. :embarassed: Now, I'll replace that with a Body by Vi Pumpkin Pie Shake (for those of you who do this): Shake mix, canned pumpkin, almond milk, graham cracker crumbs, & pumpkin pie spice. It's a meal replacement, but it is SO GOOD & definitely kicks your pumpkin craving!

    For anyone who is interested, I have been using a really good website to get healthy meals. It's a blog by a woman named Gina and her turkey chili taco soup that I tried last night is DELICIOUS!!
    http://www.skinnytaste.com/
    That's the website for anyone who wants to try it out. Finding her blog has helped me feel like I can do this since I can still eat yummy food!!

    all the best wishes and luck to everyone ! :)
    p.s feel free to add me as a friend i'm lonely and have no friends except for 2 lol
