I too make a batch of steel cut oats for the week but my favorite on-the-go is Morning Star veggie pattie (tastes like a sausage patty) at 80 cal, Eggo multi-grain waffle topped with frozen bluberries that I heat up at 70 cal for the waffle and 20 cal for the berries.

Thanks for the input, I appreciate it

I don't own any weights yet. I can go purchase them, but was wondering if there was an alternative or if I truly needed to. It sounds like I need to purchase some weights if I want to get the most out of it.

I wouldn't have thought of adding cheese, but that does sound good. I also hadn't thought of adding PB2, which is crazy because I love PB2. Thank you everyone for these great ideas

I like the creativity of adding it to things other than a smoothie. Thanks for these creative tips

I add honey, milk and butter. I need to get away from the butter and milk and hoping for a recipe that can help me with that part. I've added bluberries but really didn't like it without milk, I should have tried almond milk. I like your idea

Kind Fruit bars and LaraBars are a healthier alternative, if that interestes you. Bars are great when you are on the go, I add fresh fruit or veggies when I have them as a meal replacement.

So inspiring, you look great

been there, done that, know exactly how you feel. There is a lot of support on this forum, but feel free to add me as a friend and maybe we can motivate each other?

saw a recipe on here for low-cal pancakes using just 2 eggs and 1 ripe banana (mashed). Thats it, only those 2 ingredients and you make them like regular pancakes. I haven't tried it yet but I'm going to.

I try to eat a large breakfast, thats where I spend most of my calories. Fresh veggies and fresh fruit is a great way to get more food intake and low calorie intake. Hope those tips help.

Feel free to add me...I can use the support too

Feel free to add me, I too just started exercise and need friends.

I haven't seen the documentary but, 3 years, I went totally vegan for about 6 months. It was extremely difficult to have a social life and too difficult to cook a meal for my family and something different for myself. I finally gave that up, but I still have some of the cookbooks and enjoy some of those recipes to this…

Welcome

Very demure pose, and very romantic looking gal

I am blonde and most jokes have to be explained to me....twice or I don't get it.

Yep, me to a tee. Only my kids at least help themselves these days. Mine are now 20, 16 and 14 but you stay just as busy. My husband owns his own business so he too puts in long hours and everything falls to me. Somedays I feel like a single mom, and I feel like I rely too much on the kids but the full time job and…

I'm concerned, not only am I watching calories. I also don't have white sugar, gluten and try to watch my sodium intake too. This is going to be really tough.

I'm with you DivaStar....anything Twilight. Books, movies, articles. LOVE IT

I went through a similar situation, ate less than a 1,000 calories a day, did my yoga and was still gaining weight. I finally went to a wellness center to see a doctor about my hormones. I am on progesterone cream and adrenal supplements and FINALLY am losing the weight.

Congratulations!!! I'm at the beginning of my "race" but moving steadily, feels good.

If you have a Boston Market near you, that is the healthiest fast food I have found. Although if you try to eat lower in sodium then that place won't be a good idea either. I guess any food cooked by restaurants have the disadvantage to the nutrition chart in some aspect. Jason's Deli is another alternative, but it's not…

I keep reading post replies that simply say "bump", is that an acronym? (I'm new to the sight)

feel free to add me, I could use more friends too
