Spicy kimchi on top of cottage cheese

Ever tried Kombucha tea? It can be an acquired taste but it gives me so much more energy. Yes it has some calories (50 per glass jar) but also good for your tummy and never makes me feel jittery.

Love my Greek yogurt! Add non bitter stevia to sweeten Add about 1tsp-1tbs of sugar free jello powdered pudding in the box. Depending how thick/ sweet you want it (My fav is cheesecake or white choc) Stir the above into the yogurt until mixed well. Add in peanut butter or PB2 for low carb Or put frozen blueberries,…

Wondering the same thing why whey won't work?

Oh I so feel your pain. I think when you have a sugar addiction, weakness, extreme cravings etc. WHATEVER you want to call it....it is so hard to have just a few chocolate chips or s bite of a brownie or limit yourself to one "healthy granola bar" a day. It can consume you and the more you have the more you want. It is…

Lunch-spinach artichoke hummus, light mozzarella stick, Kalamata olives with bruschetta on a slice of Italian bread. I'll have some Greek yogurt with a few fresh blueberries for my dessert

Just some personal insight. I was overweight almost my entire adult life including the day I got married, my husband was super skinny, like had to buy the smallest men's pants sold and them altered to be taken in. We loved each other regardless. Fast forward 28 yrs of marriage I lost weight and have kept it off for 7 yrs…

Thank you for taking time to offer some great advice and options. A lot of helpful ideas and suggestions, so true it is all about compromise!

You are correct kristen8000 it takes a lot of stubbornness and self discipline to go to the gym or workout at home 3-5 days a week, log your food, make healthy choices and maintain that for 7 years. For me it is not about wanting to stay a size 4, but to do everything I can to try and cut my risk of diabetes and breast…

Asviles-Oh trust me the addiction to sweets/ sugar is real!!! I have had that struggle my entire life, was pre-diabetic and my triglycerides were 4 times the normal range. Sweets were my crack. I appreciate the insight you all have shared and understand I won't change him, just wish I did not have to face these fresh baked…

I weigh everything get a good digital scale mine came from weight watchers and we've been using it for five years now. And just look at the package see if it says the weight is per frozen on a frozen bag of chicken breast, it unthawed etc. It seems very overwhelming at first but once you get used to weighing stuff it gets…

Whole turkeys are super cheap right now. Find a small bird and you can cook the whole thing in the crockpot or buy a frozen turkey breast if you only like white meat. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/trisha-yearwood/slow-cooker-pulled-turkey.html

If I know I am really not hungry but just eating out of boredom hot herbal tea helps I love holding the warm mug kind of a comfort thing. But sometimes I just go to the bathroom look in the mirror and give myself a "talking to". I tell myself am I really hungry? No then don't go in there and open that pantry or fridge it…

Many times insurance will not pay if a portion of the surgery can be considered "cosmetic" even if medically needed if it can be deemed as cosmetic they won’t pay for the medical portion if done at the same time. Speak to the office manager or insurance person there at the surgeons office and ask them to file a…

I have lost 70lbs to date, I have been a constant yo-yo dieter my whole life. I no doubt had PCOS when I was in high school but was not diagnosed. I lost weight after I was married and got pregnant with my son. We tried for over 5 years to have another child, of course my weight was back up at the time and honestly...yes…

Thank you!!! this is awesome, what is the easist way to look this up on line? Genre, name?

Yes it does get better, it takes your body sometime to get used to it and after you stay consistent drinking water you will honestly get to the point you feel like something is missing if you dont get your water in. TMI-when my pee is clear I know my body is getting the water it needs as opposed to how dark it used to be…

UV Vanilla Cake Vodka and ginger ale or mixed with diet coke.

Fiber one bars, and god forbid do NOT let your husband have any! Looking for something different and these were on sale, they must be made by the devil as the gas and stomache cramps are HORRIBLE.......They tasted not to bad but dear god it was like an alien in my stomache all afternoon!

bush's texas ranchero beans....I drain them then warm them up in the microwave, add a couple of tablespoons of salsa and a few tablespoons for lite shredded cheddar, makes a geat spicy sidedish that keeps me super full.

Tried this and they were Fantastic! my first batch were I thought thin enough but did not come out super crispy, next batch I did thinner and got them just a little too dark, 3rd batch worked like a charm. My teenage daughter who rolls her eyes at everything I make that is "healthy" went crazy over these, I added salt and…

Thank you for this awesome recipe.....I will reduce the eggs just a little bit next time as it was just a little too custard like for me but it was still wonderful and best low calories treat I have spent in a LONG time.
