Just thought of another one! I love chicken pot pie. I'm noticing a pattern here - thick and creamy = delicious! I add extra vegetables and chickpeas to the filling. They increase the fiber content and mashing some of the chickpeas helps thicken the filling without as much milk & butter

I love soup, especially thick creamy soups! One way I found to lighten them up is using pureed vegetables like potatoes and squash for a thickener instead of cream or milk.

Oops, I think I misread my spreadsheet last night. Team 9 has 295 pts (not 285). I thought someone may have added something while I was sleeping but I don't think that's the case. Either way I don't think it changes our standing.

The total for team 9 is 285 pts. I believe I've lost 1 more this week, she hasn't logged in or replied to messages. 2 more are iffy but I'm holding out hope. :/ We've lost: Cry31 Doodledoo92 Lastchancerobin Lattae2015 Littlekatryn Memere101 Sodonovan74 Twitch82 Team 9 still left: Angelious Issy62087 Jenniferstavich…

Thanks Nikion901! I don't know anything about Egyptian cuisine so this will be an interesting week! We seem to be down to 11 team members this week. And with over 6642 miles to go that's 604 minutes each! I know we'll have to dig deep to reach that goal but I believe in us! Remember activity doesn't just have to be a…

Another recipe I love is Sweet Potato and Sausage Breakfast Strata (taken from Cooking Light magazine): 6 oz Italian bread, cut into cubes 1 sweet potato 1.5 tsp olive oil 6 oz uncooked chicken breakfast sausage 3 oz monterey jack cheese, shredded (about 3/4 cup) 2 cups 2% milk 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/4 tsp cinnamon 1/4 tsp…

I was about to post a recipe for this! Great minds think alike! I use ham instead of bacon, place thinly sliced ham in muffin cups. Crack 1 egg in each cup. Bake at 375 for 15-20 minutes.

Happy Easter team! I think I've had my fill of chocolate now ;) Time to get some exercise and burn off all of this sugar! Thanks to everyone who's been posting their minutes!

That's awful! Let your body rest, you need to take care of yourself! Hope you get well soon!

Good Morning everyone! Just a quick reminder to please post your activity minutes in the spreadsheet before Sunday night. Or you can send them to me and I'll update it for you. We still have a long way to get to our goal so let's get those minutes in! B)

I missed my run this morning, woke up this morning to a layer of ice covering everything! :o Spring cannot come fast enough! I'll have to try to get a work out in later this evening. I've been hitting my water goal but I also have to pee all the time!! I hope our bodies will get used to the extra water in a couple more…

That's great to hear @Nikion901! Here's hoping things keep moving in the right direction! :)

Good morning Dream Achievers! How is everyone doing on their roadblocks? I've done the egg workout a couple of times now (Though I held my phone as I didn't have an egg!) It's a fun little workout and only 5 minutes. I'd encourage everyone to try it! I haven't posted an egg recipe yet because I haven't had time to look for…

Thanks Melodie! I'm happy to help out and hopefully our team can stay on track! Go Dream Achievers!

@Nikion901 Please don't leave the challenge! We are here to support each other! I'm sure we've all had experiences of feeling out of control. I'm also trying to get back to my March 1 weight after gaining last week (too much junk food and beer too many days in a row and now I'm paying the price). But it's never too late to…

Weigh-in day! I'm back down after being up last week, so basically I'm back where I started :/ Oh well, it is what it is and I'm determined not to end the challenge at the same place as I am now. I don't really eat egg recipes much, just hard-boiled with breakfast sometimes or poached. I'll have to dig to find something to…

Hope everyone's having a good weekend! Things have been busy so I haven't been able to post much. I did the videos on Wednesday with my daughter, she loved them! I may have to find her a step dancing class around here. I also had colcannon (mashed poatoes and kale) so that's the Irish food done. (we eat a lot of potatoes…

Hope everyone had a great weekend! I was out of town and wasn't able to post/log as much as I could. But I put all of my stuff in the spreadsheet now. Not sure what the scale will say on Tuesday, I fell of the wagon diet-wise Friday-Sunday :s New week starts tomorrow! I can't wait for the new challenges!

Monday- done! Tuesday- not done, had some white flour bread at lunch. But I will do better tomorrow! Wednesday- not done :s , kids wanted homemade pizza for dinner & I didn't have whole wheat flour. Still have 4 days left so I think I can make it! Thursday- Done! Friday- Saturday- Sunday-

I was worried I wouldn't get much activity in today because it's rainy but I did manage to get a god amount of walking in so that's better than nothing. I'm planning to do the dance tonight and I may try to squeeze a light workout in too. No Greek foods today, unless tomatoes count? I had tomato and avocado salad with…

Accountability challenge - Friend team members - done! Monday - done Tuesday - done Wednesday - done

Done! Did 60 minutes of biking today and a 20 minute walk. So I'm at 165 for the week. I still have to do the mamma mia dance but I will either today or tomorrow. I made this pork souvlaki last night - cbc.ca/bestrecipes/recipes/pork-soulvlaki Very simple but it was really good! (Even my daughter said it was good!) I…

That sounds delicious! My Greek food yesterday was spinach Today I'm planning pork souvlaki for dinner but with brown rice instead of a pita. I'm going to have to do some planning to come up with Greek foods for the rest of the week. But I'm looking forward to the challenge! Keep up the good work everyone!

Hope everyone had a great weekend! Here's to starting the week off right! I had a so-so weekend. We had a birthday party for my son and I had more cake and pizza than I should have. Also we were so busy I didn't get any workouts in. BUT this week will be better! The sun is out and the snow is melting so I will definitely…

I really need this! We had a weekend of birthday parties which meant way too much sugar! Monday- Tuesday- Wednesday- Thursday- Friday- Saturday- Sunday-
