    I to typically have oatmeal almost every morning; just plain oatmeal (no fancy flavors) with a bit of cinnamon and brown sugar mixed in.

    I don't eat oatmeal enough, but I do love it since I have started my diet. I love my oatmeal with Lowfat Yoguart and a couple of little pieces of fruit. Great Blog by the way!

    I had to comment because I'm eating Quaker Instant Raisin, Dates and Nuts oatmeal. I have to make two packs and it will last me until lunch time! I also read that people who eat oatmeal for breakfast lose more weight! I honestly think if you just start to eat a breakfast you'll do much better :)

    Hi,
    Since I began my weight loss journey nearly five years ago, oatmeal has been my "go-to" food for breakfast most days. Just recently, I've stirred about a tablespoon of peanut butter in with it, and it keeps me full all morning. I don't know if there is any correlation, but I've also dropped the last three pounds that I was trying to get rid of since doing this, and gotten off of my plateau that I'd been in for over a month. I reached my goal weight this AM, and will have to see if I can maintain there. Might light to drop a couple more, so will see how that goes.

    I do think the consistent eating of oatmeal has also helped with my cholesterol (that and the weight loss).

    I've been having a portion of muesli with a low fat probiotic yogurt drink instead of any milk, I have the vanilla flavour and it's really tasty, good and enjoyable way of getting a good fibre rich breakfast! And it keeps me full for ages.

    I LOVE OATMEAL!! Like tinaslim, 1 packet is not enough for me. Hungry Girl has a recipe for super-size oatmeal:

    Super-size Oatmeal (from Hungry Girl recipe):
    Ingredients:
    1/2 cup Old Fashioned Quaker Oats
    1 cup Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Breeze
    1 cup water
    Sprinkle of cinnamon
    2 Splenda packets
    Dash of salt
    Directions:
    Cook it on the stove for about 10 minutes. You get a BIG bowl of oatmeal that is fairly thick, creamy, and smooth. Only about 200 calories and 6g fat, plus 5g fiber (PointsPlus™ value 5*). You can also add other ingredients: fruit, original Fiber One cereal (1/4 cup -- just cook it right in there during the last few minutes!), and even a sprinkle of fat-free powdered Coffee-mate (for added creaminess).
    Makes 1 serving.

    I love oatmeal too! Usually have to sweeten it with brown sugar, but today I had it plain.
