I'm glad I'm not the only one who has to cut the meat to see if it's done LOL! welcome!

I like dipping apple slices in the salted caramel!

I think ranch dressing has msg - you may be sensitive to that. sometimes mayo based stuff makes me feel a little queasy - dairy too - just depends.

I'm on birth control and am losing weight- my biggest challenge is shift work - rotating 12 hr shifts and lots of overtime so tired and stressed. But I'm having to work at it to find ways to lose weight. In my experience birth control DOES make it harder to lose weight -esp that depo provera shot. I gained 40 lbs on that…

I can't be around fried chicken and not want it :-( at the daily calorie goal you have every calorie counts- I think maybe eating the sweet churro stimulated your appetite/blood sugar so when you smelled/saw chicken you craved it. the 300 calories in tootsie rolls and chips for instance is 1/4 of your calorie goal and…

I like the music but mostly bouncing/walking on my rebounder to good music while watching a virtual hike (Virtual active or some stuff on youtube), Jessica Smith's 'walks', Leslie Sansone, Ellen Barrett and some yoga/qi gong - walking outside at park when the weather is nice

I started taking metformin once a day right after Christmas - boy it's made a difference for me. I will probably get more blood work done next weekb ut my liver counts have been way off and all teh other numbers have hung at borderline so my pcp said she recommended I try metformin once a day - think it's a small dose. I…

I'm sorta with cwolfman - I want to get healthy - have some bad results on bloodwork and it's past time to make lifestyle changes. sure I'd like to look better but no desire to be skinny - just healthy. my goals to reach this right now are to eat better (track here, cook more at home and make better choices when I eat out…

congratulations!!

well feeling pretty stupid - just went back and there's yoga - guess the computer I was using at home was too slow or something..sigh...

what's cauliflower alfredo? gonna have to search for that recipe... I remember being shocked a few years ago with wendy's frosties and dairy queen/dq soft serve ice cream..hoo boy.
-
my mistakes in the past have been from trying to do too much at once. nothing worse than a fridge/pantry full of stuff and no time to cook it or you waste time cooking it and it's yucky. :-( my best successes have been to plan for when I'm pretty sure I'll have a couple of days then buy for 1-2 meals to try. and most…

thank you!

I need to hook mine back up and replace batteries in the wii-mote..I LOVE Walk It Out on my rebounder! buying apartments, houses, trees...it's fun and was one of my main exercises a few years ago
-
youtube jessica smith and leslie sansone (search 1 mile walk, 2 mile walk, interval walk for the Leslies) Jessica posts her own. also some good assorted yoga - want to try yoga with Adriene - someone on an exercise checkin mentions her a lot and she just started a 30 days of yoga and she says they've been do-able for her…
-
walking, Leslie Sansone 1 mile indoor (walks), ellen barrett has some that are more do-able than others (one about killed me)...jessica smith has some freebies on youtube(can also sometimes find a 1 mile leslie or just do 1 mile of whatever of hers you find on there and add a cooldown on your own...there's also an exercise…
-
I 2nd youtube - even some Leslie Sansone workouts are on there free (though they disappear a lot - search 'leslie sansone', ' 1 mile walk, 2 mile walk' etc. also jessica smith has TONS of different workouts and some are walking workouts or easier and some are more challenging. lots of stuff on youtube. for dvds I have lots…
-
I only cook certain things in my slowcooker- recently tried steel cut oats and like the consistency. I cook taco soup and chili in mine (I cook the meat with onion before putting in the crockpot), roast and roasted chicken have been good, pork roast or chicken with a jar of pepperoncini peppers and sliced sweet onion is…
-
I have trouble functioning first thing before work - no matter how early I get up I'm TIRED. I work 12 hr rotating shifts so I'm tired a lot. I find rushing around making a breakfast causes me to forget something(like leave the burner on), stress out, and not enjoy the meal. I usually eat when I get to work- I come in a…

I like the refrigerator oatmeal esp in the summer. forgot the website that had the ideas but I use fat free vanilla greek yogurt, old fashioned oats, fat free milk, 1/2 tbsp chia seeds and frozen fruit. think it's 1/4 cup each oats and yogurt and 1/3 cup milk. I use the 1/2 pt canning jars - cute - and add everything but…
-
how do we add people? anyone wanting to add me go ahead - I need to lose around 70 - at least 50 but preferably 75
-
I've got about the same to lose. not sure how to keep track of people though..sooo many on here and I'm new- well account was apparently opened a long time ago but I'm just now getting around to getting serious! :wink:
-
spaghetti sauce has been on sale at my grocery store a lot this year - mostly Ragu - and I keep several jars along with pasta- the pasta I like is more expensive(ronzoni smart) and I buy precooked frozen turkey meatballs(one of these days I'll get brave and have time and try making my own to freeze but these were $5 a bag…
-
I'm looking for some good stay-in-the-car-a-while meals too but I live in the Houston area and it's usually at least warm here...a friend used to tote stuff around with her when she was doing atkins and she used one of those cooler totebags and that worked except for the hottest days of summer though it kept stuff ok for a…
-
it sounds good to me. I usually try to use 93% or leaner and I drain/rinse my beans and do't' use ketchup - never even thought about using ketchup but now I am...I also use the canned pinto beans that have jalapenos.like my chili spicy! I also have a turkey chili that has squash and zucchini in it that I make occasionally
