Indoor grill pans are super cheap. We grill just about any meat and many veggies. It is fast and a lot healthier than frying. Other ideas: Parmesan and bread crumb crusted fish or chicken tenders (Mix cheese and bread crumbs in one dish and use a little skim milk in another. Dunk the fish/chicken in the milk and then the…

I love this. I am the type of person who thinks over every thing I can put on a list just because I take such pleasure in marking things off. Thanks. I need to do this.

I wish I could help. I still want to lose another 20 lbs. and need to lose at least 10 lbs. yet I am completely unmotivated. My crazy busy schedule and upcoming trip don't help. Maybe when I get back from the beach I will get back into the grove.

I usually go for grilled foods over fried if possible, nuggets, and wraps (beware of the sauce). I am like you though. A salad just doesn't cut it. I also am a potato addict so usually I will allow myself the smallest fry they sell or split a large fry with my girls.

I am with you. I used to hate even thinking about it. Now my day just seems so much better if I have gotten in some kind of workout.

I am 5'3. My goal weight is 130. Don't really have measurements. I just want to be toned.

You look amazing. Thanks for posting. I am a mommy of three and have lost a little over 30 but I still have a ways to go. You have inspired me. Which workout seemed to benefit you most?

Cube, spray with cooking spray, sprinkle with cinnamon and roast for about 25-30 min. at 350

I used to hate baseball but my husband has converted me to a Cardinals fan. Watching a game right now.

I have had to think about this several times lately (have felt like calling it quits a few times) but I remember why I got on here and I set mini goals to reach (something attainable but forces me to push myself).

I was spoiled at the beginning because I would lose 3 or 4 lbs a week and then I stopped. Now I am continuing to lose but it is only a pound or two every couple of weeks. I know I don't hit is hard as some but I am still living my life and the changes I have made are completely doable in the long term (I still have dessert…

I had the same question about how to use the plant. That sounds interesting.

What is the Tummy Tuck System?

This is me too!

My dh also made a skewer with salmon and pineapple that had been briefly marinated. Soooo good! Not sure the exact recipe. I would have to look it up.

Why no grilled green vegetables? I love grilled asparagus.

Super simple but one of my new faves is grilled potatoes. You cut the potatoes into 3/4 in. slices and boil them for about 6 min. (or until soft but not quite cooked through). Then spray them with cooking spray, and sprinkle them with garlic powder and salt, and grill both sides for 3-5 min. each (until soft and have nice…

bump, gotta try

Chocolate would be mine too. That's the thing I love about MFP. If I watch my portions and workout a little I can have a treat and not feel guilty. One of my favorite is two low fat cinnamon graham crackers (broken into squares) w/ 1T of Nutella and 1 banana. Yum!!!

Funny you said that because when I first read the topic title my thought was "CHOCOLATE" as is evident in my food diary.

I do that. I know different types fit differently. I am not going to buy something that is too small/tight but if the item doesn't fit in my size I am not going up to the next size I just won't buy the item. It is mental for me right now. I need to see the improvement.

Well, thanks to all who have responded. I still don't quite get it but will look into learned how to do the "plank."

But pulling in the belly button makes it harder to breathe. What am I doing wrong?
