Another vote for the paperwhite - if you are only using it to read, you cannot beat it

This is an old weight watchers recipe and it is fantastic! Everyone in my house will eat a big helping of this. Stuffed Spaghetti Squash 1 spaghetti squash (1-1/4 to 1-1/2 pounds) 2 t olive oil 1/2 c each diced onion and red bell pepper 1 garlic clove minced 8 ounces ground turkey 1 c canned whole tomatoes, chopped 1/2 t…

SWIM!! All I could do prior to my knee replacement(s)

Currently - 4 oz of no-fat Chobani plain (70 cals) , 1 scoop of vanilla protein powder (58 cals), 100 g of strawberries (32 cals) & a piece of low fat string cheese (50 cals) - 210 calories, keeps me going until lunch. If you like yogurt you get way more by adding your own fruit to plain yogurt - less calories, way less…

Yes, they'll do all that and more and you will love LOVE LOVE them - adopt, hit your local humane society or a shelter - there are a TON of dogs who need homes and many will be past the puppy stage - We have three (one little guy and two big labs) and I can't imagine our lives without them!

I leave mine alone as long as I'm losing weight and feeling good. If I cut it and I get hungry, then I know I can't sustain that long-term.

WOW - just WOW! incredible! You are truly an inspiration!

Best post EVER!!!

I have a vegetable lasagna in for tonight. 1-1/2 c of mozz 1/2 c of riccotta 1/3 c of parmesean 1 egg, slightly beaten 1 tsp of oregano 1/4 t of garlic powder 1/2 cup of low sodium marinade (or your own spaghetti sauce) 4 no boil lasagna noodles 2 medium zuchhini sliced 8 oz of sliced mushrooms 7 ounces fresh baby spinach…

You look about 20 years younger now! What an awesome transformation - you should be so proud of your hard work!:drinker:

I have the best burn on the elliptical

The ladies have shrunk (a lot!) but even more - I miss my insulation - I am cold all the time!! I never used to need even a long sleeved shirt, now I need a long sleeved shirt over a thermal shirt and under a sweatshirt - only time I'm warm, working out :sad:

Every day you make the to ugh choices and you can see your success!! So happy for you!:love:

THIS!! This is a huge help for me. Saying I can't is like waving the red flag in front of the bull - the minute you say I CAN'T do something it becomes my number one priority. Saying I don't says I have a choice and choose not to, at least not now. And you do have a choice! Best of luck!

Tried them all over the years - put all of them into the garbage can when I started here :wink:

The recipes at Skinnytaste.com have all kinds of ways of adding vegetables (and lots of them) to your meals. The sloppy joe recipe adds like 3 servings of vegetables into the meal with no one knowing (and I mean no one!) It adds a ton of mushrooms, carrots and some red pepper all chopped into little pieces with the meat -…

bump=yummy

I have one - I got it from eBay for around $70 - I clip it to my bra and it stays there. It works wonderfully for helping to motivate me to walk more. I was shocked to see how little I walk during the work day (desk job). For actual burn during excercise - I have an HRM.

Chobani plain 0% (blue container) add either some fruit and a splenda (if it's too tart for you) or toss in a scoop of protein powder (I use a whey, low sugar variety). You can add 2 oz of berries to 4 oz of a plain greek and you'll have less calories and way less sugar than a sugared variety of non-fat yogurt and the same…

Fantastic post - from one stress eater to another - nailed it. Keep it up, you're doing great and changing the habits of a lifetime doesn't happen in 2/3 of a year (or even in 1-1/2 years) but one meal at a time....

you betcha

500 yesterday!

This is about perfect - but the sodium, that's the reason for pounds coming/going like they have. The sodium is crazy wicked when it comes to water retention and it can take me a week to lose what I gained from a few days of sodium

I don't have a recipe to share because all I do with my salmon is to put it in the oven and bake it - I spray the pan with cooking spray so it comes off clean. BUT, I can tell you the quality of the salmon makes a HUGE difference in how it tastes. We prefer Atlantic salmon at our house, I pick it up at Sam's (about…

I do almost the same thing... elliptical for 30 mins, strength including 5 leg/lower body machines and then another 30 mins on a bike. I've never had a problem

I think I'd like your underpants to talk to mine :laugh:

These are my FAVORITES. I wait for her release(s) on pins and needles!!

WOW - just WOW :drinker:

Cheerios - yummy with some unsweeted vanilla almond milk!! This is my go-to cereal!

Do you have access to a pool? That was the first thing I started back up after my knee replacement(s).....
