I tried it tonight. Prepared by a hot water rinse, and a dry fry. It tasted fine, the texture was like al dente al dente. Not bad for my first run. Looking forward to making it again to work on the end result texture. Thank for your tips!

Hi honey - bless your heart! Big kudos for trying even though it hurts. That's a huge accomplishment! :happy: I suggest adding water aerobics and walking for now. Don't get discouraged by the low calorie burn on your Wii exercise. Exercise has benefits way beyond today's calorie log. Stay at it, even in small sessions, and…

woo hoo! I know the feeling! Congratulations and I Love your ScubaCat pic!!

roasted vegetables! yellow squash, zuchini, brocolli, mushrooms, corn. any veggie you like to eat by itself is great on salad! I like them room temp best. also parmesean reggiano cheese. great flavor, you don't need too much so low calorie. toasted pine nuts or sunflower kernals also. fresh herbs. please make your own…

Love the pic!! too funny! I also still consider myself to be a salt fan - that's the best part!

when it's freezing outside!

especially when you see someone you haven't seen since you lost weight! best nsv evah!

it is not as sweet as the other type of yogurt, but I have developed a taste for it. It is very thick, lots of protein. Chobani is my favorite brand.

wow! and dang! my mouth would have just fallen open if someone had said that to me!! I've not had any mean comments. One friend of mine emailed the other and asked how many inches I had lost. When I answered her, she replied, Well that's why I haven't seen you lately ! :laugh: As Ann Landers used to say, when someone says…

thanks for posting!

Very interesting! Real food Rules!! Thanks for posting! :happy:

Wow - you are doing great - keep it up!! :happy: My goal is 5 hours a week of exercise. I make this on most weeks. The minimum I make is 3 hours if it's too cold outside and I don't walk. Look at it as time exercised rather than days per week if that helps. That helped me. But everyone has different needs/goals. I'm not a…

I agree with this post! (and what an adorable doggy!) Less food means less ... well, you know!!!! It happened to me also!! One of the many lovely chnages of changing our eating habits!

Absolutely eat your exercise calories! The more you eat, the more you lose. To quote a current commercial, it makes sense if you don't think about it :laugh:

Ha!! Because it's too dang expensive - that's why!! Thanks for your posts!! :happy:

Did you look to see if the needle pointed at zero both times? Sometimes you have to adjust the dial to re-calibrate the reading. (Edited for a typo!)

Zumba!!! It is the best! Move your body, shake it - shake it! :happy:

I agree! It will happen again, too at some point! Don't be too hard on yourself for one day of going over! Heck - I did that yesterday!! :wink:

bump!

Congratulations Sweetie!! What an absolutely outstanding accomplishment! I'm so happy for you! :happy:

I'm interested, too! I should have said that I already lead a Zumba class once a week, and after a brief holiday break, about to start doubles tennis twice a week. That's why I could only do P90X once or twice a week. I want to tighten up my torso, mainly. My legs and arms are in pretty good shape. Thinking about Pilates,…

I'm with you! I still have about 10 more pounds to lose, but for the first time in 5 or 6 years, needing to lose a ton of weight is Not one of my resolutions! but don't ask me about the clutter in my house..... :laugh: now that's at the top of my resolutions list!!

Hi Carla! Log - log - log everything you eat!! Every day! Counting calories is the best way to lose weight. If you don't own a digital food scale, please buy one. I cannot live without mine. Once you start losing on a regular basis, that will help with your motivation!! The biggest rule is to be accountable to yourself by…

I am so happy for you! You look absolutely amazing!!! Cheers to you and your journey!!! :drinker:
