A flute of Asti Deep fried green beans with ranch dressing - maybe 15 Fried calamari with cocktail sauce - 6 or 8 rings 6 deep fried jumbo shrimp Half of a baked potato with 2 pats of butter Large side salad with chunky blue cheese dressing ( about 2 tablespoons dressing) 8 baby carrots, 3 pieces of celery, 2 pickle spears…

Yes. Dinner at a favorite place but not going to worry about it. Banked a few calories so I won't be crazy over the line.

I use naan bread about the size of a personal pizza. I top it with 2 T of pizza squeeze sauce, 8 slices of turkey pepperoni, 1 1/2 oz mozzarella and all the veggies I can cram on top. The whole thing is less than 500 calories. Perfect for supper.

I plan on a sweet snack most evenings. Usually chocolate in some form. 100-150 calories.

Statins don't cause joint pain in all or even most of the people who take them, but some folks have problems. My dad had to try 4 of them before he found the one that didn't cause joint pain and he's been doing well for years (major heart disease). They don't cause liver problems for most people, just some of them. I've…

Cottage pie.

Oven baked chicken fajitas. Lots of green and red pepper strips, sliced onion and chicken, a can of Rotel. All seasoned up with cumin , chili powder, oregano, garlic, smoked paprika and a little salt. Will add green chiles and cayenne next time to kick it up a bit.

This. Or eat lighter for breakfast and lunch, giving you more calories for dinner. Sometimes you'll be hungry. That's natural. Eating constantly to avoid all hunger pangs is not a sensible plan for me.

Weight Watchers Sante Fe rice and beans is my favorite.

Lost 3 pounds from Dec 6. I enjoyed 6 holiday meals by eating small portions of things I really wanted. Except for New Years Eve ... Mass quantities of snow crab clusters. And I don't regret a single crab leg. <3

Made it last night. Husband and I both liked it. Will make again.

If you can't afford expensive orthotics, go stand on the Dr Scholls machine and buy the recommended insert. They are fifty bucks. Put them in whatever shoes you are wearing and use them all day, every day. That and weight loss will help the PF. They won't work overnight but you will get relief. Then ease into walking.…

I work at a hospital. A few weeks ago, a nurse that I'm friendly with says..."You've lost a lot of weigh. Do I need to worry about you?" Since she works with a lot of cancer patients I knew she was asking, without coming right out and asking, if I was sick. So I assured her I was doing just fine. Her response then…

Delicious snack. One or 2 is very satisfying.

Almond nut thins

30 dark chocolate M&Ms savored one at a time.

Cooked rice freezes very well. Don't know about uncooked in combo with veggies.

Heirloom tomatoes, a cucumber, a beautiful eggplant and sweet corn.

Just think Happy Birthday to me and go back to normal today.

I dropped my cholesterol 30 points by eating oatmeal for breakfast, a good source of soluble fiber.

This!

Love this stuff.

Salter is inexpensive and mine works well.

Ice cream, mashed potatoes, pudding.

Baked oatmeal. Right now I'm liking a recipe with berries and almond streusel on top, but there are lots of different skinny versions on Pinterest.

If I'm craving chocolate, eating a medjool date will satisfy me. They are delish!

And smile...nothing looks better than a smile...positive thinking is important.
