mine has a little removable tray that goes on top of the glass, so i can wash it in the dishwasher when it gets dirty.

when i was little, my mom would say "kitchen is closed!" after she had cleaned the kitchen after dinner. we couldn't even go in there after that. so i'm kind of the same way now in my own home. once we eat dinner and i clean the kitchen, the light goes out and i don't go back in there. if i were really hungry, i would go…

(1) measures in both grams and ounces (2) has a "tare" feature (3) digital

i made my own smoothie this morning with ingredients i had on hand, pineapple, raspberries, orange juice, even adding 1/2 cup of ice cream to make it smooth. it was only 300 calories, and kept me very satisfied until lunch. personally i would stop the slim fast, and make your own shakes.

i used to take NOS powder before working-out (with weights) and it helped alot. took JACK3D years ago, but heard it was very dangerous for the heart, so i stopped.

thanks for all the helpful suggestions. i am in the market, too.

i also like MIO or KoolAid drink drops

i take cider vinegar capsules to help lower my cholesterol, but i don't like the flavor which is why i take the capsules and not add it directly to my drink.

this has nice fat (which you do need, by the way) and excellent protein. this would be my pick of the two. :)

oh yes, i also started taking capsules of apple cider vinegar

that is juicing to me. i guess i should call it smoothing. ;)

i wanted to start juicing (that is, blending veggies & fruit whole, so i get the fiber, too) but my husband is not wanting to spend the money on the "good" juicer just yet. he is having me drink smoothie king every day for 2 weeks and if i'm still "into it" he'll buy my vitamix! so far, i've had one every day for a week!

i have recently had some blood labs come back unfavorably and my dr has suggested a diet for me which is meant for diabetics and heart patients. one of the big things that i need to do to keep my blood levels steady through the night is to eat before bed. so now i am trying to have a healthy snack right before bed, such as…

i take cinnamon, garlic, fish oils (to lower cholesterol) as well as extra fiber.

i know that years ago, you used to be able to complete the day under calorie without getting that message. i guess they changed it.

yea, i googled kolache and posted the photo that came up ;)

yes that can be true for alot of people. i try not to mention it to new parents, but all of my children slept through the night starting at 6 weeks and never looked back. i am so lucky i didn't have a lack of sleep issue :smile:

a breakfast taco & breakfast burrito are interchanging terms here in south texas. they can also be called Taquitos, at Whataburger restaurants. the sweet treats above, we call danishes.

yes, here in south texas, too :smile:

the picture posted above is not a kolache to me. a kolache where i live is a sausage or ham with cheese inside a breaded exterior.

i gained weight when pregnant, but lost it all after all my births. the only reason i am overweight right now is because of meds i started taking for BPD. honestly i don't think it has anything to do with my children at all, seeing as how i was at my perfect (low) weight before starting said drugs.

it's easy to say you wouldn't take it, but after spending months and months trying to find a medication that actually works, it's not so easy to just drop it from my regime. i have heard alot of people say that i use the med as an excuse for my weight, but it was a direct cause. i was about 150 when i started it and i…

seroquel is not to be taken during the day. it is to be taken about 3 hours before bedtime. of course you can get used to it, like i did, and now 400 mg doesn't even make me drowsy anymore.

i am on 400 XR. i gained so much weight as soon as i got on it, and i didn't change my dietary habits. the drug put the weight on me. i know alot of people disagree, but that was my experience. i am now on metformin to try to cut some of my weight, had tried topamax in the past but it didn't do anything. i know that my…

i went to my dr and found out my testosterone level was 7. i did a couple of weeks of testosterone therapy and gained weight so i stopped.

i love pure protein bars, too.

have you ever tried garbanzo bean chocolate cake? it's GF & so delicious! would never know it wasn't flour.

my husband's birthday was yesterday and i grilled steaks and made zucchini. then we had garbanzo bean chocolate cake for dessert. it was a treat, but i was able to stay within calorie goal.

i think it took me about a week. but i was faced with incredibly high cholesterol and my dietary needs HAD to change, so it was easier to agree to the restrictions since my health was on the line.

my goal weight is 124. and i need to lower my cholesterol!
