Thanks for the encouragement!! :wink:

Please add me as a friend!! I just started Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred yesterday too lol, and I am a work at home mom as well. I have a boutique, I make bows and tutus and things like that. I would love to have you as a friend!! :happy:

:happy: :happy:

I would get something sweet that you like to eat that has a low calorie content. You can portion this sweet into the serving sizes in individual baggies, and when you have a snack attack at night, grab a baggie and veg on the couch. You have to have serious control and make yourself not go back for another though, and…

Sometimes when you give into a craving, it turns out to be realllly bad. Just because, usually what you are craving is something that you haven't had in a while and it could be really easy to go overboard with it. Indulging a little is okay, if you have the control. :wink: But most of us tend not to have that trait, as…

I would say, when you feel like eating, pop in a workout video, something like aerobics or dancing (something that will have you bouncing around and happy). I'm going to use this method to quit smoking. Hope it helps!! :happy:

I haven't tried any of the protein powders yet. My best friend told me about one that she's using, but some of the ones in this topic sound awesome. I might have to get more than one can, totally taking notes too. :smile:

I'm a stay at home mom as well. You can add me if you want to, it does not hurt to have a lot of friends with things in common and we can talk about mommy stuff too. :happy:

28 year old mother of 3, age 8 and under. Feel free to add me as well! :wink:

I would love to do this!!! I definitely need to start setting small goals to keep myself motivated. :happy: CW: 173 GW: 163

I started the shred today, looking forward to getting to the end of it so I can be skinny!!! :happy:

Way to go, that's quite an accomplishment!! :bigsmile:

The Fiesta Lime Mrs. Dash is really good on chicken!! :bigsmile: And it's salt-free!

They put "bump" and it will bring it back to the top of the forum. :wink:

I love your abs! Holy crap, how long have you been working out? Please tell me it's because of Jiliian Michael's 30 Day Shred and your awesome ability to work out?? :bigsmile:

Roller skate. :bigsmile:

Wow that's really awesome!!! :bigsmile: People say they can't do it at home when I watch the Biggest Loser, but you are living proof my dear! :tongue: That is an amazing transformation, it took a lot of work but look at you now!! You look great! Congratulations on your success! :wink:

Lean Cuisine - Spinach Artichoke Dip With Pita Bread, 1 pita and dip. It's 200 calories, my friend eats these and it's a good alternative to chips and dip. :bigsmile: I also have a recipe for eggplant pizzas if you'd be interested in that. :happy:

Yes lol, I was in late holiday baking mode for my extended family and I thought that I would use them all. I've only gotten through about a dozen so far. I went wayyyyy overboard with the eggs!! Maybe I should be asking for egg recipes instead of how long you can keep hard boiled eggs stored in the fridge lol. :tongue:

I have a friend who eats all of her exercise calories, and she has lost 33 pounds in the last 5 months!! I have been inspired by her, but what if you can't eat all of the calories back because you're way too full to think about it? I really tried last night but wasn't able to and ended up with 300+ calories that I didn't…

^^^Hilarious!! :tongue:

Okay :bigsmile: I just started being committed to this site as a NY resolution, so I'm still learning. Thanks!! :happy:

Chest, back, legs and shoulders. All and any of the above. :heart:

Great response! :wink: When does it get to the point where you feel you have to say something? Like I said, I don't like drama, but if someone is bashing someone else, that's usually when I step in and say something.

Call me crazy but it kind of looks like you used a 13x9 inch pan and not an 8x8 as described in the recipe? An 8x8 would yield 9 servings, not 12. And 8x8 pans are perfectly square, your pic is rectangular in shape. Did you double the recipe and put it in a 13x9 inch pan? :smile:

You could always use unsweetened cocoa powder and some Truvia and that might help the calorie count go down. :bigsmile:

Cheesy chicken spinach pasta bake. =) My friend gave me the recipe yesterday while I was on the phone at the grocery store getting the ingredients. I'm going to make it today and freeze the leftovers for lunches for the next week or so. :bigsmile:
