Had to get lunch from the place next door to my work today because I didn't have time for an actual lunch break. The chicken panini I love from there comes with the BEST french fries, but I subbed them for a salad with balsamic vinaigrette. They gave me fries by accident... and I THREW THEM IN THE TRASH!!

Gas and a Rockstar for tomorrow morning

Ooooh quiche.... good idea! I wish my son ate eggs, I'd scramble them for him!

For lunch (in a hurry), I toasted a couple slices of Health Nut bread and made a sandwich of a Laughing Cow cheese wedge, spinach, tomato, cucumber and mushroom. It was sooooo good!

Breakfast: Raisin Bran with a small banana, dried cranberries and sliced almonds, almond milk and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Snack 1: Boiled egg and a cutie Lunch: Homemade beef/mushroom burger (bunless) on baby spinach, tomatoes and relish with some ketchup and mustard. SF Jello. Snack 2: Goldfish crackers Dinner: Spinach…

I just came here to tell you that, thanks to you, my new favorite thing to eat is "sandwiches" (bread, various "filling" and a tomato slice on top). I don't know why it took me so long to realize that, obviously, I can eat a sandwich with only ONE piece of bread. You are my new hero. :D

A warm double chocolate muffin with a serving of Enlightened peanut butter chocolate chip ice cream..... mmmmmm ....

So far, the plan for today... Breakfast: kodiak double chocolate muffin and a cutie Lunch: Raisin bran with sliced almonds and dried cranberries, 1/2 c of almond milk and a sprinkle of cinnamon Snack: TBD.... maybe some nut thins or a bell pepper (if the one in my fridge is still good) and a laughing cow wedge Dinner: The…

Kodiak double chocolate pancake and muffin mix... muffin version. I sub light blue bonnet butter for the oil and use almond milk. 142 calories per muffin.

Breakfast: Half a ONE Birthday Cake bar, which I threw in the trash because it was GROSS. Snack 1: half a serving of goldfish crackers Lunch: 4.5oz cocktail shrimp with a TBSP of cocktail sauce. A piece of health nut bread with a TBSP of pimento cheese under the broiler till bubbly then a slice of tomato on top. (I did a…

AWFUL!!! Oh man, so bad. I couldn't even force myself to eat it. I was going to finish it just because I'd paid for it, but I literally spit it in the trash. I just couldn't do it. It tasted so "fake". I can't even explain what the flavor was like, but it's no birthday cake I've ever had! It even tasted OLD, if that even…

Raisin bran with almond milk, sliced bananas and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Hit the spot!

Did NOT have a good day food-wise. Instead of giving in to the voice in my head telling me to give up on the day and start again tomorrow, I met my step goal AND got in a workout. No matter how much I end up being in the negative on calories, it's better than it would have been if I gave up.

This is the most obviously genius thing I've heard in a while. Why it never occurred to me before to do this, I have no idea. My peanut butter consumption just got a heck of a lot easier. Thank you, food scale hero!

Yes, I am aware of that sad fact. But it really doesn't bother me. It's not enough difference that I'm eating it and think I really miss those last few spoonfuls. Plus, as for calories, it's 370 for the container vs 400 for the pint of Enlightened peanut butter chocolate chip I still have. So I don't feel like I'm being…

Ok, I figured out why these lower calorie ice cream pints are so expensive. It's because if they were cheap, we would buy and eat them all! I tried the Skinny Cow Rocky Road today. I portioned out half the container, ate it ... and went back for the other half! (Good thing I worked out before hand). The chocolate base was…

I have been reading through posts on this thread for ages. It's the reason I first tried Halo Top. HT has been hit-or-miss with me, and I have yet to find a pint that I feel I could eat in its entirety in one sitting. Some are downright bad... I wanted to like cookie dough so badly, but the cookie dough pieces were AWFUL.…

Tasty day today! Breakfast: egg white omelet with spinach and cheese Snack 1: special K pastry crisps Lunch: open faced ham sandwich on health nut bread with a laughing cow wedge and tomato slices. Canteloupe. Snack 2: chocolate cherry smoothie Dinner: bunless beef and mushroom burger on a bed of spinach and tomatoes with…

Yay, I love this thread! I made my first ever smoothie last week. It was a variation on a recipe I found online. 2c spinach 1c almond milk 1/2c frozen blueberries 1/2c frozen cherries 1/2 of a banana 1TBSP cocoa powder 1 tsp vanilla Yesterday, I made a variation with peanut butter. I omitted the blueberries and cherries…

Mmm this sounds yummy! Thanks for all the suggestions. I think I will bake sweet potatoes in the crockpot and take angel food cake with the toppings on the side.

Yes, trying to keep it low-cal! There will be kids there, but not terribly picky ones. Otherwise, I'm open to all options.

Breakfast: a banana and some grapes Lunch: "open faced" ham sandwich on a slice of health nut bread with a laughing cow light wedge and topped with tomato slices. A sliced yellow bell pepper dipped in some italian dressing. Snack: 2 cinnamon graham crackers Dinner: beef/mushroom burgers on flatout bread with lettuce,…

Are you kidding me? This is a mother and daughter, right??? Wow. Amazing!!!! Way to go!!!!

I honestly can't remember the last time I even paid attention to what a stranger was ordering/eating/drinking/putting in their grocery cart. I swear, some folks seriously have nothing better to do with their lives? I'm sure you could pick any random food item and find someone somewhere who has a negative opinion about it.…

You're a bully. You're not just a sorry excuse for a man, you're a sorry excuse for a human being. Stop blaming other people for your failures and bad decisions.

What herbs/spices do you put in? I second (third? fifth? eighth?) bacon! Also popcorn. And Laughing Cow. Y'all have said so many great ones! Ole Xtreme has a 50-calorie tortilla. A can of tuna. Pickles. (These things are starting to make a meal...)

I didn't read all the comments here, so I'm probably late to this party but.... .... how bad are you at pumping gas that you smell like it all day long afterward??????

A ziploc bag full of various toiletries collected from hotels.

Walked around Walgreens this morning while waiting on a prescription to be filled. I was having a little sweet tooth, so I wandered over to the candy aisle. A couple months ago, I would grab a coke and a bag of peanut butter m&ms to take home with me. Today, I read labels on a bunch of stuff but couldn't decide on anything…

Scale-related NSV? Had my follow-up with my Dr this morning since being put on blood pressure medicine a month ago. He was psyched not only for my good blood pressure (I was VERY hypertensive), but also for the "awesome" 10lbs I'd lost since last month. He said, "You're doing it right: on your own (i.e. no pills or…
