Great attitude @shirayne. I'm not sure I can stop at 2 pieces, pizza is my weakness.

I love quinoa cold. I make a batch portion it out and eat it with veggies and tuna!

Welcome to all the new faces!! @zena_marie, @frogprogrammer, @gbjess204, and @SaraD72 hope I didn't miss anyone! @zena_marie I was a single mom of little ones and I know what a hard job that is. My crockpot was a lifesaver. One thing to remember is to make things that can be saved or frozen so you can get multiple meals…

@Bobzfit I walk in the house all the time and use the youtube walking videos sometimes too. I also am fortunate enough to own an elliptical machine. I agree nothing beats going out for a good walk outside

I have had a rough couple of days...no activity, barely coming in under my calories or going a bit over. I'm proud of my attitude. This is the exact place where I usually quit and this time I am refusing to give in to that. My first thought when I was stressed 2 days ago was to walk it off!!! <who is that person I don't…

@enoughisenough9 Welcome! I think you have just found the warmest place on the web...what a great bunch of people

Variety helps me too @danielle7577 cheers to a good week

@Shirayne Thanks for the support! I know I will be fine. This time I am determined!!

@Shirayne Glad your weekend is going well. Your chili nachos sound great! I'll probably try them next week. I have been extra busy with family stuff the last few days. With the busy schedule and extra stress I haven't been able to maintain my walking routine... so less calories and fighting the urge to eat the stress... so…

@Jonesm97 If you need help with recipes I have tons that are low in calories and taste good. I'd be happy to share. For all the baby spinach and Kale lovers, I love greens too and there are so many different kinds. I found a stock enhancer "better than bouillon Ham" that I use in my greens to give it that old southern…

@Hippychick5983 Welcome! This is a great place to be everyone is so supportive! The first step is always the hardest and you made that so congrats! @didjaever seriously! How rude can a person be. I'm with 2run2ski, How dare he! I'm glad you are using it as motivation. That guy is destined to be shallow all his life and has…

@jonesm97 Glad you are feeling better!

@Shirayne I hope you feel better soon! Sick is the worst

@Didjaever Yes, I buy the frozen chopped spinach, add that and a bit of Feta cheese to 97% lean ground beef, bread crumbs, chopped onion and 2 egg whites. They were really good. I put them in pita bread with a bit of Tzatziki with more cucumbers than yogurt.

My day is still winding down. Last check I was at 5646 steps but I'm not done. Thanks for the inspiration @didjaever‌. I made some lean beef and spinach meatballs that the fam liked so I'm adding this to my rotation. I'm on spring break so I hope I can maintain the momentum when work starts up next week,

way to go @didjaever 6000 steps is a great goal! I'm only up to 5500. But all this motivation is encouraging me to step it up.

I have a jawbone. I really like it. I didn't realize how sedentary I was. It really motivates me to move more. The thing I like about the jawbone over the fit bit is that it buzzes if I've been sitting too long. I also love the alarm feature. I feel like I'm waking up less tired

Good luck @Didjaever

I found a great new recipe... just sharing http://www.onceuponachef.com/2009/11/roasted-brussels-sprouts.html I ate 1/4 of the tray for only 100 cal

I really like my jawbone so far...i heard about a new device that is only 10$ but it has mixed reviews

Thanks @Shirayne

Way to go! Getting out meeting new people is hard and you did it while avoiding cookies! woah! So cool

[quote="Jmraichl;31600837"I have an Jawbone UP. Looking for other buddies. [/quote] I have an UP too...I got it last month and am liking it so far.any tips?

Hi everyone! I know I'm late to the party so to speak but i need some support. Like shirayne I've been on this journey before. I lost 75+ lbs and gained it all back. That was 10 years ago. ..so here I am trying again. Ive been working on it this time since January 1 and have lost almost 12lbs...but ive been stalled for a…
