Do anyone do these videos with a heart rate monitor? About how many calories do you burn doing it?

I checked the elevation of Chicago vs. Scottsdale. Chicago, IL is about 568 ft. and Scottsdale, AZ is 1,250 ft. So I guess it wasn't the climate that affected my heart rate, it was the elevation.

There is a recipe for these in one of the Hungry Girl cookbooks and it is only 93 calories. Someone should have put a warning before clicking the link that you shouldn't eat before looking at it. I had just eaten breakfast, and now I'm sick to my stomach.

I have this recipe if you would like me to post it.

There is no charge. It is all free. Maybe she typed in the wrong web address.

It's great to find meals under 500 calories, but did you see the amount of sodium in those meals...through the roof.

So what is a reasonable amount of sodium a person on 1400 calories should have? Also, I am finding it hard to keep my sodium down. Any suggestions? I add salt to a lot of things, what is a good substitute?

There is a recipe for this in the Hungry Girl 200 under 200 cookbook. Using Fiber One Original Cereal all ground up. There is also one for mozzarella sticks.

I love the Strawberry Shortcake ice cream sandwiches. The mint ones are really good too.

My measuring cups and spoons are my best friends. I measure everything out. You can pretty much eat anything (within reason), as long as you measure it out to 1 serving. It is all about portion sizes. For example: the spaghetti you had a serving is 2 oz (1 cup cooked) and then you can measure the sauce depending what the…

I wonder if you could put the bread pieces in mini muffin pans to make it easier for portion control.

I wonder if you could do this with a 100 calorie English muffin. Then the calories wouldn't be that bad.

I made them for a last day of school pot-luck. So I wanted to go the extra mile and hollow them out and make them look pretty. I am with you though, it is a lot of work and if I was enjoying them myself I definitely would not hollow them out. :wink:

My strawberries must have been really big because I had to make double the filling to fill all 44 strawberries.

You could take them to a resale shop...and then if they end up selling you could eventually make some money on them. Then go buy new stuff.

Welcome. This site is a life saver. I'm from Chicago too and lived in Vegas for 5 years. We moved back to the Chicagoland area 2 years ago.

I made this last night too. I shredded the chicken and figured out that it was six 1/2 cup servings. I ate it on a tortilla with some reduced fat shredded mexican cheese and some chopped onion. It was delicious and my lunch for today.

Can anyone tell me how much is in a serving if I shred the chicken (1/2 cup, 1 cup, etc)? Thanks

1 cup cooked

You could spray them with cooking spray. I've done it where I spray them with cooking spray and then sprinkle some cinnamon and splenda (instead of cinnamon and sugar) on them. Delicious!

I use the 100 calorie English muffins. I put some spray butter on them with garlic powder and some parmasan cheese. Bake the for 5 mins. on about 425 degrees.

I was wondering: if I buy 80/20 ground beef instead of the leaner stuff, and after I brown it I drain it and rinse it, will it be just as lean as the other stuff? I am on a budget and the 80/20 ground beef is so much cheaper.

That must feel great! Keep up the great work.

Has anyone heard of that new show starting called Cooking Yourself Thin? I saw a commercial for it the other day. I think it premiers on Monday on Lifetime. It is on here at 4:00 p.m (I am in Central Time Zone). It is supposed to be a cooking show, but they show you how to cook things with less calories and fat. It seems…

Thanks again for all the support. It is so nice to know that I'm not alone in all this. That definitely helps with the motivation.

I finally broke the 190 mark. I hit 189 today. My goal was 190 by the end of March, but that didn't happen. I am so proud of myself for not giving up when I didn't reach my goal. It took me 2 months to lose 10 pounds, but no matter how long it took I still lost it. Now I begin my next goal. Everyone on here is great!…

This was a great challenge. Definitely gave me a reason to use my Wii Fit, especially because my son is sick and I couldn't get out to workout. Long Run67% Advanced Step450 Free Step2605 Hula Hoop3503 (12 minutes-didn't have 10 minute duration choice yet, so did 6 minute twice-have 10 minute now)

Has anyone got these recipes because I never got the email with them? If you have them, please send to: luv2eduk8@yahoo.com Thank you!
