Sure there are cultural issues involved with food. I am from the south...we like our chicken fried real crispy and not in Canola oil but in LARD. Those of Italian descent like loads and loads of pasta. But how many of us KNOW that it isn't good for us? I was informed of the starving children in Africa when I was a young…

I argue that it isn't America but the individual. The same applies to anyone in any other country on this Earth. We as individuals choose to either exercise or not and you can choose to eat healthy foods or not. I don't like blaming my current situation on anyone or anything but me. If I didn't have the information that I…

I have an iPhone and it is a touchscreen. Love it! I do have the data plan and it comes in handy when I am out and about. Love the MFP app and the fact that I can look up what I am about to order at a restaurant and see the calories BEFORE it touches my lips. I've also got a pedometer app and the Jillian Michaels app that…

Happy Sunday everyone! It's been a crazy week at my house. My husband has been sick, been back and forth to the parents house, and toured a college our daughter is considering, yesterday. I didn't eat well on Friday & Saturday so was not relishing the idea of stepping on the scale this morning. What a relief! Went to the…

I do believe we will be trying it this weekend. Pumpkin Cheddar Souffles 8 mini pumpkins 4 large eggs 4 tsp. all purpose…

I dealt with a similar situation with my daughter. I REALLY wanted to tell her to hit him or kick him where he will KNOW about it, but instead, I spoke with her teacher....again! Like you, these incidences seemed to happen when no one was looking, so our solution was for my daughter to yell at the top of her lungs "NO! YOU…

Lisa, So glad sis is doing better and on the mend! I know that is a relief! I feel your pain with band competition weekends. Both of my kids were in the band and on competition days we snuck food in so we wouldn't have to eat the greasy, sodium filled foods! I understand they make their money that way but at least offer us…

Great! Thank you so much Nikiki!! You have great info and I, on the other hand, need a Fall Veggies For Dumbies book! :) I think, rather than call it Spaghetti in the traditional sense, I will call it Spaghetti Squash Marinara, that way the crew won't be expecting the soft, pasta texture! The mind plays tricks on ya when…

Hello all! I've gotten some awesome responses to the fall veggie recipe post. Check it out if you haven't seen it! The link is on page 6 of this thread. I am proud to report that I actually had all 5 servings of my veggies and fruit yesterday! YAY!! Had a cup of blueberries for breakfast this morning so only have 4 more to…

I am thinking of using Spaghetti Squash for our spaghetti this week. How do you cook the "noodles"? Just boil in water like pasta spaghetti?
-
Ahhh! YAY! Look at all the yummy ideas! This is great! I'm gonna have fun with these. :smile:

bumping for later! Thanks for sharing! :)

Love sweet potatoes! These recipes are great. I am making my grocery list and we will be trying all of these! Any more??

OHMYSWEETGOODNESS! That sounds soooo good! I think my teenagers would even eat this!

Jicama is something I have never tried! Please share the recipe!! :)

Great idea! I've not used the eatingwell site and love that it has nutritional values included!

Welcome Foxygrl! Good luck! Here is the thread I posted about the fall veggies. Hopefully there will be some good recipes that we all can use! :) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/122943-need-recipes-for-fall-veggies-please

Jeannie, I didn't even think about that but you are right! I can honestly say, other than pumpkin pie, that I have never cooked with Pumpkin. I think I will make a post and see if folks can give us some good recipes for different squash. I'll post the thread here in case anyone misses it but I, for one, would love to…

PS....Lisa, I'm sorry to hear about your sister going through the bite situation. I can so relate to what she is going through. I was biten by a brown recluse 10 years ago and by the time I got to the docs office it was the size of a softball. After numerous antibiotics, steroids and some sort of medication that they give…

Hello all, Hope you all have had a fabulous weekend!! I was really hoping to say good-bye to the 220's this morning but I'll take the 2.6 weight loss and be darn happy about it! :) Not doing so well on the veggie challenege. It has really opened my eyes about how much I DON'T eat. I am averaging about 2-3 a day but would…

Hmmm...Ok. I'll have to get my butt up and get moving. It is Friday Night Lights, after all, and a big game for our hometown high school. So...I am off to dance 30 mins. My scores will suck because this white girl just can't dance but I will have fun trying! :)
-
Sounds fun!! When do we start?? :)

And as I was told by a dietitian once....anything under 40 calories can be counted in your daily intake. I exclude diet soda from that but do drink Vitamin Water Zero or Crystal Light and will count that. :)

Bumping!!! These sound wonderful!!!

Wendy's grilled chicken go wrap w/ everything is pretty good. Only 260 cals, 10g fat, 25g carbs. It is kinda small though but will hit the spot if you are in a hurry. I sometimes pair it with half of a small Baja Salad and dont eat the avacado or use the dressing or spicy tortilla topping that is on it. 211 cals, 12.2 fat,…

ME!! I started in mid June with 85 lbs. to lose and have lost 22, so have 63 to go! I work on the mini goals I set for myself and don't focus on the finish line. Soooo much more do-able that way. Add me as a friend! I'd love to encourage you as well. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!
