I have to say there was little I didn't like that I got in the frozen foods:) There were a few I didn't try only because they weren't things I would normally eat anyway (i.e. salsbury steak, ranch pizza). I am no longer buying NS since reaching goal, but still have a good deal of food to use up both shelf stable and…

I make mine with cold coffee and cinnamon

Last night I sauteed fresh kale, diced onions, and a can of diced tomatoes (drained) with Italian Seasoning and Mrs. Dash Tomato/Garlic and then put it on top of cooked spaghetti squash. Made a huge plate, very yummy and filling:)

I got hooked on gorging on veggies while on Nutrisystem so my fav is to cook up a big bowl of sliced yellow and zucchini squash (fresh or frozen work for me) and a can of italian diced tomatoes. Also half (ok sometimes a whole:) spaghetti squash with ICBINB, Nu Salt (potassium chloride), and fresh ground pepper. If I have…

My son's girlfriend is vegetarian and lactose intolerant so our regular Friday night pizza was an issue. I found a great pizza by Amy's (frozen) that has roasted vegetables and no cheese. It is fantastic! It is much lower in calories and has a great sweet like sauce flavor. I find it very filling. Great to keep in the…

I love overnight oatmeal and vary the recipe based on what I have available and what I am in the mood for but keep the following ratio: 1/4 c rolled or steel cut oats (I use steel cut but they are a little crunch so use rolled oats if you don't like it that way or see recipe below) 1/4 c milk (I use unsweetened vanilla…

My favorite one is a quick crock pot recipe! Veg Beef Soup 2# stew meat browned (you can omit for vegetarian version or sub something else and it is just as good) 4 c frozen mixed vegetables 4 c frozen diced potatoes O'Brien 2 cans diced tomatoes (I like the Italian Seasoned ones) 2 packets Onion Soup mix 2 cloves garlic…

Fresh veggies with hummus (roasted red pepper is my fav...eating it as I type now), Cracker Barrell 2% sharp cheddar sticks, String cheese, 100 cal pack Almonds (dark chocolate roasted...awesome when you want something sweet), Sensible Portions Garden Veggie Straws, Dannon Fit n Light Greek Yogurt with 1Tbl Chia seeds,…

La Croix and Ice Mountain sparkling water have no artificial ingredients and I think they taste great! Huge fan of seltzer/club soda plain or diet tonic water too. My family thinks I am nuts ;)

Awesome job Ricky, you should be so proud of all you have accomplished! That is a tremendous loss:)

Ask for or post recipes that you enjoy or are looking for, very relaxed and open here:)

If you are a member at GNC you get them at a discount and you can also purchase them online for less usually:)

While that is a great sentiment, many of us do not prefer to do this as we have a distance to travel to work and enjoy having our breakfast while we travel. It isn't "eating on the run" or crammed in, it is consumed over a period of time. I ALWAYS drink my coffee and drink a protein shake on my 40 min drive to work:) I…

I usually do use it in my lasagna recipes:)

I got one of the patties to try with this past order so I will definitely try this recipe!!

I eat back about half of them.

If you think they are nutritionally deficit then you can try some of the pediatric protein drinks or carnation instant breakfast with frozen yogurt and blend with some fruit. If they will eat spaghetti, add V8 to the sauce to get more veggies in there (or puree veggies and put in, they will "disappear"). Try raw veggies…

I don't rely on protein bars for my protein source, but I always carry them with me for when I am faced with poor choices for meals (parties, weddings, away from home, etc) or like last night I went out with a friend for a glass of wine and hadn't had dinner. By the time we got to the bar the kitchen was closed and I had…

That was wonderful Ricky! Thank you for sharing:)

The smile says it all!!

Not true at all, I have been successfully losing weight on a 1200 calorie diet (31+ pounds) over the past 4.5 months. I workout every day 45-60 minutes, I feel wonderful, am off almost all my medications and my lab work is fantastic. I vary between 1200-1350 depending on intensity of my workout. I am 5'4" and started at…

I am a huge fan of spaghetti squash I eat it multiple times a week:) I split them, clean them out microwave them in a little water (covered) for 9-10 min or so depending on size. Once you can scoop it off the sides easily (don't let it get too mushy though because it tastes gross), spray with ICBINB and sprinkle with No…

You are doing fantastic Ricky, keep moving! :smiley:

Verify where you are staying has a microwave and fridge available for guests to use, may not be a standard item but often they will provide them if you ask:)

Fantastic job Ricky! Sometimes we don't even notice how things are changing because it happens so slowly, but you are improving every day! Keep up the good work:)

For a baked apple, you can core an apple, add some diet orange soda down the middle, dash of cinnamon and bake in the microwave until soft. You get all the fun of the baked apple without any of the added sugar:) I also like Wonderslim pudding/shake aspartame free mix( (I get mine at Diet Direct) add 4oz of liquid for…

I subscribe to Recipe Swap on MFP, it may already be what folks are looking for?

Kashi Go Lean Cinnamon Crumble and Dannon Fit & Light yogurt are my favorite, makes a nice parfait and you can add some fresh berries in between in you like (dump it all together if you are really in a hurry:). Southwestern Egg Beaters and a toasted whole wheat light english muffin (can add lowfat cheese if you want). I…

Wasn't aware of the High Protein version, haven't used Slim Fast in years so guess I wasn't up on the latest, thanks for the info!
