Looks yummy! Thanks for sharing.

Ghirardelli Bittersweet dark chocolate chips are 60% cacao and are 5 calories per chip. If you don't have a problem with portion control, I use these because sometimes 4 chips at 20 calories give me just enough of the chocolate flavor to stop cravings for larger treats. Of course, if you allow for it, you can eat more than…

My calorie goal is also 1200, and for me it often works better to eat 4 small meals of around 250-300 calories throughout the day than to eat small snacks because they don't fill me up or keep me satisfied. If you are getting hungry between meals, you could try doing 4 small meals. This also can help get you away from the…

I agree with popcorn, and pretzels and Wheat Thins crackers are also good with hummus. You could melt a few bittersweet dark chocolate chips in a bowl in the microwave, then dip slices of apple in the chocolate and roll the dipped end in oatmeal or chopped nuts. Simple can be good, too. I love cheese toast, and it is super…

I'll send you a request as well. I am 20lbs from my goal. Seeing others check up on you does help!

I was wondering about the cake! Anyway, I agree that weight is not constant every day, so just keep up the good work a few more weeks and see where you are. You'll probably see the scale move by then. How do you have your profile set up as far as activity? In a lot of these threads, people say they set their activity level…

I'm glad you are trying for your daughter's sake. You don't have to accept that you are "a big guy" unless you want to stay that guy. I've lost 80lbs and have 20 more to go. Counting calories and keeping up with what you eat may seem like a lot of work and time, but the people above me are right - if YOU want to make the…

I lost 20lbs in 2 months, and I still have around 25 to go to get to goal. I started out eating around 1350 per day, then cut back to 1200. I have been eating about 1100 some days because I don't "work out." I am a stay at home mom of 2 toddlers, so I burn calories with normal childcare, housework, and then try to do some…

I can't get this link to open, nor does it open from the healthstatus homepage...is it just my computer service?

I either bake mine and eat them plain (you can brush the outside with a mixture of olive oil and cinnamon before baking which soaks through the skin and makes it peel off easily if you don't like to eat the skin), or cook them, mash them, and mix with diced or crushed pineapple and a few pecans. I prefer using fresh raw…

My birthday was the 24th, and my daughter turned 2 the next day. I did not eat the cake I made for her. For me, it was not worth the calories because I really want to hurry up and reach my goal. 400 calories or even 200 would not fit in my daily allowance since I am short, and I didn't want to spend that much of my…
