Braaaahh.. Still not using this thing. IDK I just feel smoothies are so high in cals. Just protein powder alone is high. Then add the fruit and poof. IDK

I use splenda for everything sweetener. The only exception is I still like the pink packets of sweet n low for my unsweet tea in restaurants.

I eat Cottage Cheese with Peaches or with sugar free Jelly mixed in. This is a snack that will really keep me full. Sometimes I eat a yogurt - lately have been eating the Dannon light and Fit with Chocolate on top (100 Cals) and that is really filling. I drink a TON of water- that keeps me feeling full. I have to flavor it…

im logging my weight every Monday Morning- before I get in the shower. I weigh with no clothes on, want to get my actual weight. What is a bummer is I went to the Dr yesterday for something unrelated - weighed 7 lbs more than I do at home on their scale - with clothes on and I was holding my purse as well. Kind of sucked…

Daisy is the only way to go. Look at the list of ingredients. I use to just get the store brand until saw the ingredients list compared. Wont ever go back

sugar free jelly -Smuckers Grape or Strawberry is what I like. Or peaches or pineapple

Yum. I cook these in a pan on the stove. Put a little water, turn the heat up and cover the pan. Let it simmer for about 5-7 min. Then Drain. Then I spray pam on it, add onions and garlic. Sauté until they are some what charred. That's the best way I like them!

mmmmm. I love espresso. I get non fat milk or soy. And then usually sugarfree hazelnut and sugar free vanilla syrup. So Good. About 100 cals for the tall. I bought an espresso machine recently - been experimenting at home. I prefer soy over regular milk IMO.

for me its anything not processed - fresh fruit or whole ingredients

Ms. Dash anything!

Thanks for this. This is exactly what got me thinking about this. I saw the recent news release about the article. Since then, been feeling guilty every time I put splenda in something. Thanks so much!

I was going to suggest cottage cheese. That's what I usually have every day. I use to eat with with peaches with splenda. Then I got interested in cottage cheese with sugar free strawberry jelly mixed in. Really good. I also do Yogurts - the local light ones instead of cottage cheese when I get burnt out on it. Or a…

Dusted off the Vitamix and made a smoothie for breakfast today yall. Here's what I did: One banana - 100 Cals 8 whole strawberries - About 70 cals 1/2 scoop protein powder - 80 cals 1 TBSP Heavy Cream - 50 cals (thanks to Michelle 172415) I kept it in there and it tasted great 1/4 cup almond milk - 10 cals So it was about…

I do have the book. Im going to look at the gazpacho. Don't even know what that is. LOL

I would love smoothies everyday but always seem to be too many calories when I try to make them. I guess I need to look up some better recipes

Idk if I did it right but overall thought they were ok!

I came to the realization of this recently too. All the videos I watch on u tube say such and such tablespoons of olive oil. And yet it still considered healthy. It's like 120 Cals per TBSP. yikes !

This is so me. I have never gone to the classes for this reason- no coordination And don't want to be the biggest there.

Lol lol. Idk I'm open to try anything. I'm gonna do it and I'll try to post a pic

I bought two grapefruits over the weekend. Still haven't had a chance to use them but planning to try the broiling tonight as a dessert. Will let you all know!

HA! I love this! I am a lesbian too. Its like I have felt the exact same way about guys... Its like i wonder if i was hotter to them -would they have held the door for me or something. TBH i don't even care but it still something I think about. Sometimes I do think that people tend to think overweight people are also…

Thanks guys. I initially did make a lot of smoothies - before I was dieting. I liked to add cream in the smoothies- but obviously that is loaded with FAT so I am not doing that any more... I haven't tried soups. I am going to dust it off and maybe try a soup this weekend!

I usually have a granola bar (peanut butter flavor) and a banana every day for breakfast

I'm not like obsessed with it. But it def crosses my mind a lot. Just curious if other think of it.

I used to think I was fat just because my whole family was fat. But then... Hello calorie counting. I am fat because of what I was eating in the past. I don't think it is much to do with genetics in my opinion.

I appreciate everyone's post. I have always been overweight.. I think in highschool I was about a 14 - and for highschool that is pretty overweight I feel like. But now if I was a 14 I would be happy. Working on getting back to that.

299.6 today!!!

That's a good idea about keeping an average. I might try that. Thanks to you all again!

Thanks to you all!

Love all these posts. I am going to buy some this weekend and try it. I think I will start with the broiled grapefruit first. Sounds delicious.
