Vegan here! I am positively ADDICTED to scrambled tofu! Saute onions and shrooms (usually add peppers, chopped broccoli, whatever!) and crumble in the tofu. Season with a pinch of turmeric (for color), salt, pepper and nutritional yeast. A lot of times I'll add in smoked paprika too for that bacony flavor! Put 1/3 of the…

If you can find it in your budget, please buy a higher-end one. I had a ProForm XP from Sears for LESS than 3yrs before the leg sheared right off during a workout! (My friends all blamed me- said I wasn't 'using' it correctly. It wasn't holding ironing or whatnot, but actually being USED!) I thought it was a good machine,…

Typing this with happy/sad tears in my eyes. Your Cat's Prayer hit home! Had to put my beloved Tripper to sleep four years ago (he was one of the first victims of the pet food lead poisonings) due to irreversible kidney damage. After having several small seizures after one very large, very scary one we decided to let him…

THANK YOU!!!!!!! OMG it bothers me soooo much. My own child is an itty-bitty scrawny skinny boy (crawled at 4mo and never sits down, now almost 11yrs old) but so many of his classmates are big. I see them come to school with crap in their lunchboxes and cringe. I admit, mine takes sometimes things that aren't perfect, but…

I make an Italian soup with lentils, brown rice, loads of veggies, crushed tomatoes and herbs. We call it Roto-Rooter soup... Tastes soooo good (especially with a nice glass of cabernet) topped with fresh shredded parmesan. Oh, and did I mention it's 'cleansing'? :tongue: :ohwell:

I will cook a pound of chickpeas and freeze them for quick use. A friend of mine posted this on Facebook a few months ago and I just happened to have the edamame in the freezer too! It's delish and super easy to make- Katelyn's Edamame Chickpea Hummus 1 cup shelled edamame 1/2 cup chickpeas (you can used VERY well rinsed…

HAHAHA! I've lost a half gallon short of a BUCK! :glasses: ETA- I should add that is reflecting my highest weight of 270... :~)

I have 2 honeydews in my garden that have been teasing me for weeks! Everyday I go out and check to see if they've slipped off the vine so I can eat them... Nothing doing yet. But at least the sweet delicious super-yummy tomatoes are ripening finally!

My fitness guru told me for every day you are 'off' (other than a recovery day) it's worth 3 days of exercise. I went 3 weeks without before she told me that... EEEK! Of course, if you're healing it could be different. Will your doc not allow you to at least walk? My thought is with it being in your throat that they'd…

A few months ago at the grocery store I saw a mother and her to young children shopping. Both boys were, shall we say LARGE. I was on the next aisle when I heard a loud crash, so ran to see what it was. I heard the mother as I rounded the corner as "Son, did you tip the cart over again?" Both boys had been in the basket of…

Did you all see the Food Revolution episode when Jamie made the chicken nuggets for the kids? Blech! I have to say one of the things that drew me to the charter school my 10yr old will attend this fall is that they do not utilize the 'school lunch program' AKA crapfoods... My son and his classmates will bring their own…

Not neccessarily what you're looking for, but crazy/amazing/spectacularly delicious! http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/portobello_philly_cheese_steak_sandwich.html We use vegetable broth and top with either provolone or goat cheese and some hot cherry peppers. Skip the flour, it's not needed!

http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calories_burned.htm Not exactly what you are asking for (not in order anyway) but it does show a ton of exercises at once so you can sort of side-by-side compare. Pretty cool to be able to see the difference between walking, jogging, and running like this!

I got to buy 14s last weekend and I am now around 178. I'm 5'3" but have a pooch up front. My biggest issue to getting into the 14s before has been an 'apron' of loose skin hanging over my lower belly. Even tho it's still there it's obviously gotten smaller!. My waist still measures around 38", if that helps. I know how…

This is from the SB diet cookbook. It's not terribly low-cal, but it's incredibly healthy and tastes AMAZING (especially topped w/ fresh blueberries and whipped cream!)! Lemon Olive Oil Cake P 2 This is on the web, it's a sample of what's in the yellow book Makes 10 servings 1 1/2 cups whole Wheat pastry flour 1/2 teaspoon…

Our fave is to boil together potatoes (diced but skin on), carrots, rutabaga and turnips in either chicken broth or veggie broth. Boil until very soft then drain very well (in the strainer for about 5 minutes works well!). Mash everything together and season with salt and pepper, then grate fresh parmesan cheese over it.…

I became a lacto-ovo veg April 26th after not eating meat much at all the previous months. I have had a very hard time getting more than 50-80g protein/day since, but the thought of adding even fish back freaks me out! I didn't decide to do this for humanitarian reasons- I'm the first to admit that- I did it for health…

Sonic in my town has a fro yo right now- OMG, soooo yummy!- and I called them 3wks ago to get the info (they DO fall into that require-to-post category) and was told they'd call or email me soon. After a WEEK I called back and got rather nasty (mentioned the BBB, etc) and it still took 3 more days to get anything! The info…

I don't know about FRIED, but the way we make them is terribly delicious! Peel a huge sweet potato (enough for two), cut into large chunks and toss in a little olive oil with a pinch of salt and pepper- or pepper blend. Make a foil pouch and put the sweets into it. Preheat your grill to around 400* and add the pouch to the…

My fave is the egg white on the muffin with pepperjack, onion and green pepper then a tiny bit of honey mustard- YUMMMMMMM! We're going camping this weekend and I'm going to buy all of the ingredients from Subway so we can make them in the camper! At least we know we'll be eating healthy for ONE camping meal... ;-)

I gave up meat almost 4wks ago. My loss actually accelerated for a couple weeks! Since I gave it up I've lost 8#, and would probably have lost more had I not gone to a baseball game last weekend and loosened my restrictions on beer! ;-) It's been relatively easy to do, tho I have discovered meat in places I guess I never…
-
Well I'm a little partial because Subway pays my bills (my hubby and I work for a company that owns 21 of them!) but have heard NOTHING BUT WONDERFUL COMMENTS! I'm a little annoyed with myself about it too. I've known for a few months that it was coming and I stupidly gave up meat almost 4wks ago- not having tried this…

Try subbing 1c thawed edamame for 1c of the chickpeas... It gives it a slightly greenish hue but amazing creaminess and flavor! We have a hummus night a couple times a month. FYI- hummus goes incredibly well with muenster cheese!
