This may sound strange, but I LOVE it. I don't include quantities...so just eyeball it to your taste. Quinoa (i cook it in chicken stock for extra flavour) Pickles (garlic/dill) Olives (i use green) Feta Cheese Red Peppers (for a little crunch and colour) Grape Tomatoes (cut in half...I usually omit) Cut everything small…

A few years ago, I took a work trip to Atlanta. The first few days of BBQ and Coke and pie were AMAZING. By the third day of restaurant meals, I needed to eat at least one vegetable. I ordered a sandwich and asked if instead of french fries, I could have a salad. "No problem, Darlin'". When my sandwich arrived, the salad…

I don't have kids, but I am always looking for ways to get more veggies. If your child likes pizza, try the cauliflower pizza recipe that I found here on MFP (I've attached a link to a version of it). I also really like peanut butter on apple slices. Or maybe throw some Kale into a smoothie? Or a vegetable soup? Does he…

Wait. Does this mean I can count peeing as exercise? (please say "yes". please say "yes")

I don't think it has hindered my weight loss (i lost weight while drinking it), but I notice a marked difference on the scale when I don't drink it. Probably because instead of a baby can of Coke Zero, I drink a bunch of water. If you are thinking of cutting it out (or even down), the first few days (a week or so even) are…

There was a point when I was about 4 or 6 months into my process that I just wanted to say "Forget it". And it wasn't because it was too hard or because I was always starving or because I was sad...I think I was just tired. Tired of watching and thinking and obsessing over every morsel I put into my mouth. And I kind of…

We not only have to deal with Vanity Sizing that differs from store to store, but we also have to deal with different cuts (especially in pants). Diva, Bella, Slim, Urban, Petite, Boyfriend....Your size could vary within the same store from style to style! You know what they make in the same size? Trash bags. I might just…

If you are eating in a restaurant that you know has huge portions, (this sounds crazy but...) you could ask for less or get them to sub something out for more veggies or a salad.Or if your companion is into sharing, get a nice appetizer and then split a main. That way it is easier to clean your plate and not feel stuffed…

I've been giving my "every-day" clothes to Goodwill on a regular basis and altering the things that can be altered (mostly dressy-uppy things or things I love too much to give away). But just today, I was kind of wishing I'd kept a pair of jeans from before I started, just to see how my body has changed. I have to…

I hope it is okay to post this here. A MOtivational video to get you & your 'stache's through this "awkward" period. https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=1m1Mn-BE4iA

I second the Pop Chips idea. They're the best of the "fake chips". If you can find them in your area, I find that Garden of Eatin' products are also really delicious and won't blow your calories. I love the cheese puffs.

This post is amazing. I had trouble putting my weight loss into perspective until I remembered the 50 lb bags of epsom salts we used to have at my old job. Occasionally I would have to pick up one of these bags to refill a bigger container and they were always so big and unwieldy. When I lost 50 lbs, I imagined not having…
