  • I enjoy The Ginger People Ginger Peanut Sauce as a salad dressing. 25 calories for two tablespoons. I like to add a couple of drops of sesame oil. Also Rachael Ray Balsamic Glaze. 20 calories per tablespoon. Both full of flavor for much fewer calories than traditional salad dressings.

  • I'd say mine is severe as well. It started when I was pregnant with my first child; she is now 30. I have been on most of the standard medications at one time or another. Right now I am taking Nexium, morning and night and Tums if I feel a flare coming on. If I don't take the meds, I am miserable. I just put a mattress…

  • I understand OP. I too have heavy meeting days when it's hard to get steps in during the day. I have to get them in before or after work and since my work days plus commute can be 11 to 12 hours, I am challenged some days to get over 5,000 steps. My goal is 7,000 with a stretch goal of 10,000.

  • I liked this article I found in the blog: http://blog.myfitnesspal.com/how-a-nutritionist-spends-50-at-trader-joes/ It helped me to easily locate some "healthier" items. I could not find the cauliflower fried rice though. Will look for that next time.

  • I've been consistently recording all my food and getting my steps in everyday. That plus cutting back on about 90% of my drinking, I'm down 11 pounds since the first of the year. There's no way I would have done this and continued drinking as much as I was. I mostly started down this path to lose weight and seriously…

  • I love this thread-read it everyday for inspiration. I have succeeded in not drinking at all during the week but have allowed myself to have a few every weekend since the beginning of January. I am going to try to be AF this weekend and see how that goes. I think the weekend indulgence of food and alcohol is preventing me…

  • Ugh! Accepted an invitation to have a beer after work last night which turned into 3 followed by 3 pieces of pizza. Clearly I have control issues (with both alcohol and food) like many here have said. I know 3 beers is not that many but I drink heavy dark beers with high alcohol content and calories. I know I would have…

  • I am so inspired by this thread! I read it everyday and find myself nodding along with many of the comments made. I am one of those who is not planning on never drinking but I've gone from several beers a weekday (more each weekend/non-working day) to a few a weekend. My goal was to stop the daily drinking and to lose…

  • I've been lurking here and on the January site and I'm inspired and fascinated by all of your stories. I've kicked my daily beer habit to the curb so that I can lose weight and generally be more healthy. I've had a few occasions to have a beer or glass of wine and I've done so but the daily habit is gone and I am thrilled.…

  • If you like cheese and want a chip altnerative I found Cello Whisps at Costco. They have 1 carb per serving of 23 "chips". Very calorie dense so if you're also watching calories/fat you'll want to pay close attention to serving size. There's recipes for similar cheese chips on the internet. I also package up snack size…

  • Happy New Year! Tough day for me in some ways. I have a virus with a nasty cough that killed my appetite so I ate way under my calorie goal, but getting any real exercise in was out of the question. I did spend a good deal of the day removing Christmas decor and cleaning up afterwards and about 10 minutes stretching and a…
