If I'm trying to be 'good' I just have plain vodka & seltzer - Last night at dinner I splurged and had an Aberlour (single malt Scotch, my fav one!) on the rocks :D But at the concert I stuck with the vodka seltzer, had one fireball shot and then switched to just seltzer.... I do miss my hot cocoa w/ cake or whipped vodka…

I love veggies, so it's tough to relate, but I agree with trying roasted veggies - also soups, if you like veggie soup, make a big pot and have before dinner, will also help reduce hunger before the main meal :) Freeze it in bags flat and it's a quick thaw in a bowl of hot water - put veggies in dishes - cauliflower is…

Now THAT is what I can get behind - lol - except I partook a bit too much last night with dinner at the pub (Tullamore Dew) and then a Morrissey concert (Blackberry Vodka & Seltzer - oops! lol :)

You're truly an inspiration Rach! WTG! :D Tammy :)

You can tell by the shorts (pants?) the difference between pic 2 and 3 - great progress! WTG! :D

I buy them at Asian markets here in the states, but some grocery stores have them or they can be ordered online - even amazon has them - but there also asian online grocery sites etc :)

I use them in stir fry type dishes the most as they seem to work best (IMO) in that situation. I buy them at the Asian grocery where they are MUCH cheaper than buying the 'miracle noodles' in the ad. Look for shirataki or yam noodles in the asian market if you go that route :) I haven't bought them in a while, I might have…

Interesting... My MIL is type 2 and has not been told to necessarily eat a low fat diet but one that is well balanced with COMPLEX carbs, rather than simple carbs - pretty much the way we should all be eating anyway... I had no idea it was commonplace for type 2 diabetics to be put on low fat diets with no consideration of…

I used to - I still pack lunches for the hubby, but he likes the samethings all the time, so I kinda stopped posting them, but I have/had a blog (using it for sort of food blogging now I guess...) at http://anamericaninbento.blogspot.com/ - but I also have links to many other bento blogs on the right side :) We used to do…

My evening treat lately has been Timothy's White Hot Chocolate - the K-cup for the Keurig is 90 cals and so yum :) The other night I tried the dark chocolate cafe escapes k-cup for 60 cals and it was quite good also, but I only had the one - plan to get more and some mint extract to add to it . If I have the calories I…

I love freezing soup for lunches - just had my last bowl of chicken tortilla soup yesterday for lunch and we had chicken leek soup w/ barley and lentils from the freezer stash for dinner :) I was planning to make the lentil soup today, but forgot the tomatoes :o Maybe I'll send my daughter out for them!

Every time I plan to make something on here, life (or hubby!) changes my plans! I swear I am going to make that lentil soup! :) I love lentils but have never used the red kind (though I have a bag! lol) I don't think my hubby will eat it, but that's ok, I love to freeze soup in single servings for my lunches :) I haven't…

I am so behind! Week 5 now :o Sorry I haven't gotten a chance to try anything yet - lost my brother 2 weeks ago and it threw a huge wrench into, well, everything really... That black bean mango salad sounds delicious! :smile:

Question, how many servings is the fajita recipe - maybe I missed it? I'm hoping to squeeze both recipes in this week.... :)

Thanks inskydiamonds! I hope to make both, but have a crazy (very challenging) weekend ahead and have a couple planned dishes this week - plus a picky hubby! I think both sound awesome, so I hope to do both :) Thanks for adding me! :)

Oh, I guess I should also say 'Sign me up!' :) The hard part will be shoosing what to post - I like to cook! :tongue:

What a great idea :) I'm new to this site, but also following Weight Watchers and trying to do it this time around with minimal processed meals/foods (almost no frozen meals, WW treats etc) - Love that fajita mix recipe, I never use taco seasoning from the store any more myself either (and have never used those chili…

YOU LOOK AMAZING! :happy: Thanks for the inspiration!

Nothing against canned soup, I do buy some (usually Progresso when it's on sale for those crazy days I need something to just grab and heat), but I agree on making your own too - I love to make a huge batch (currently eating chicken tortilla soup made with leftover roasted chicken I roasted Saturday - made the soup Monday…

I agree with a couple other posters - relax a little and start also taking your measurements! One gain means nothing - it could be just temporary water weight too - I had a gain Friday for my weigh in (at my Weight Watchers meeting) but it was gone by Monday - could have been the cold meds I was taking, could have just…

You're right Kayak - My starting weight and goal are very close to yours! I'm only 5'2" (well, 5' 1 1/2" - lol) so I may lower it once I get there, but then again, I may not - we'll see when I get there I guess! :) My goal has never been to be super skinny :) I sent a friend a request :) Thanks!

Thanks folks :) Still playing with the site and what it has to offer - liking it a lot so far :) I am tracking my weight by my weekly weigh-in at WW (on Fridays) so my starting weight is what I was on Friday, when I was up a few pounds from the week before, but that was already gone by yesterday according to my home scale…

Ha- I did a similar snack/dessert this evening - I chop an apple, sprinkle with cinnamon, allspice. nutmeg and clove, microwave 90 seconds stir in a packet of stevia in the raw and mix with the yogurt - delicious! :) Thanks for sharing your photos :)

Wow! Since May?! That's amazing and very inspiring! I've lost 15 on WW since Feb and decided to join this today to add to WW after chatting with a friend who's lost 61 now - You look amazing! :happy: Tammy :) kashmirkat
