@christabenjamin‌ - thanks soooo much!! just did it and it worked for me too! pain in the butt - but it worked!

zucchini always came into my house in bread form - now that's completely out and it's shows up as zoodles or baked sticks; quinoa - LOVE it - replaces rice a lot - i fix it with a can of rotel to add some flavor to it - i've recently found it in sticks and chips in the store - tasty; brussel sprouts - just never appealed…

i totally understand this issue - i clocked about 1500 steps folding laundry this past weekend!!! mine is set to the dominant arm so not sure that would make a difference! i know it's all a bit of an estimate but i wish it would be a little more accurate. i've been comparing my morning walks by running the fitbit app and…

i was wondering the same. i just got the fitbit today but i've been using MFP for over a month - will it only sync current data?

I'm ordering one from Amazon when I get paid on Tues. Soooooo excited with all these great posts with ideas and tips and tricks... Thanks everyone for all the great input :) Particularly @lak200 for details on the best one to get! ;) I agree it is an awesome thread <3 [/quote] @Hearts_2015‌ - YAY!!! i get excited for folks…

you're very welcome - seriously one of the most used items in my kitchen! spiralized recipes are getting easier and easier to find - everyone is getting on the wagon! ;)

this is the one i have and recommend to everyone that asks - there is a 4 blade one that is newer but i've not heard good reports about it - it's too tall and not as sturdy. i know other people that have gone with the more expensive ones but i use this at least 3 times a week and have had it for a lil over a year ... no…

i tend to stick to the blade that makes the smaller sized noodles. i've only used a butternut squash once i the spiralizer and honestly can't remember which one i used - but thinking it would have been the smaller one. i love that once something is spiralized it doesn't take long to cook - just a few minutes in the oven or…

keep it up! great job!!

funny - i was just looking up for who has them the cheapest right now! i've thought about getting the vitafiber and making my own - but my thoughts are as far as i got! - i'd be interested in hearing more about what people have done to make them!

LOVE LOVE LOVE my spiralizer and have made a lot of stirfry and 'rice' dishes with it. i've eaten more veggies since buying it than i've eating my entire life! lol Ali on inspiralized.com has some great ideas that i build upon. i use her base and make it my own by adding different veggies. my favorite lately is making…

thanks for these comments! i've also been watching portion control since the 1st - and i'm sooooo glad i'm not the only person that can eat more than those lil portions the dietian was showing me before surgery. i can sit w/a bowl of salad & not have a problem eating it - i just try not to right now. again - thanks for…

i do it at least twice a week - LOVE it! will send you a friend request! motivation and support is the key to our success!! #committogetfit

but don't we alll want that 'magic' loss to happen! lol lol i so get the 'you gotta work' part - i realize and own the fact that i was so extremely lazy after my sleeve - no where near the diligence i had after the lapband procedure. after that one i was actually scared to eat certain things - with the sleeve not so much.…

i have a ninja mega kitchen - bought at BB&B w/a 20% off coupon - out the door was $91ish - i cannot say how much i LOVE this machine. comes with 2 individual smoothie cups; a 72oz blender pitcher; a small and a large food processing bowl. i use it every morning for green smoothies - no chunks whatsoever - i put a big…

thanks everyone! i appreciate the comments. i guess i used the word 'failure' because i didn't have a huge loss after i got sleeved - i pretty much set myself up watching a friend and comparing myself to him and 2 of my cousins that had the surgery ... my mindset was 'well they've lost this much' and 'they can't eat that…

lets do this! looking for locals myself that understand our 'fry everything diet'! bayou girl here with waaaaay too much lagniappe! i'm tired of carrying it around!! the struggle is always real around here but even more so right now! i'd be happy to work along with you! have a great day everyone! #committogetfit
