My favorite breakfast is an omlette filled with veggies....my favorite veggies are mushrooms, spinach, aritchokes, & black olives. I also got hooked on taking a whole wheat tortilla; spreading 1tblsp peanut butter and then layering it with sliced bananas & strawberries. Sprinkle a little granola on top of fruit and then…

First off congrats on your already 14lb weight loss. You know I was really into watching Biggest Loser but I found myself getting really depressed over the fact that I wasn't seeing the results these people were getting in a week. These are great inspirational shows but for the general public; so unrealistic. I recently…

Bump....wow thanks for all the good recipes :smile:

My daughter (she's 6yr old) has a gluten sensitivity so our whole family has pretty much gone gluten free just because it's easier. I too am going back to school so I pack myself hard boiled eggs, yogurt, small salads, granola bars, air popped popcorn, gluten free pretzels, fruit, ect. I just put it in a small lunch bag…

Hello everyone! My name is Jenny and I live in northern Minnesota with my hubby and two kiddos. I have a son who is 9 and a daughter who is 6. Right now I am a special education para in a public preschool and I am in school finishing up my LPN. I also am an on call CNA at a nearby nursing home which I love!!! With working,…

I just had a complete physical and actually asked my doctor this because hard boiled eggs are so convenient on work mornings for me. My cholesterol is really good so he told me 2 eggs a day is just fine. On the weekends I usually have something else. So I guess it depends on your own cholesterol. Good Luck.

Saves me a ton of money and puts my mind at ease knowing I'm not putting unhealthy food in my body. I do still eat Subway once in a blue moon but I feel it's healthier than McDonalds, Taco Bell, ect. I also didn't like how I felt after eating fast food; very sluggish and guilt ridden. Plus I look back and think about all…

I'm on a tight budget so I get Pure Protein at Walmart for $9.97 and it's not a HUGE container. I like the triple chocolate; tastes great to me.

I have the cookbook Deceptively Delicious and there's some good recipes in there. Here's a link to the macaroni and cheese that my kids LOVE!!! http://www.food.com/recipe/macaroni-and-cheese-with-butternut-squash-or-cauliflower-258018. When I make chicken noodle soup I add one cup of pureed cauliflower to the broth. I also…

Well I read you have kids so a suggestion is when the weather is nice go for bike rides with them. Also if you have a Wii; we got Just Dance for Christmas and the kids and I do that and let me tell you it's a good workout. I also would suggest Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred; it's only 30minutes. Her yoga meltdown is also…

Do you have access to a pool? Swimming is GREAT exercise!!! Good luck to you!

My favorite is 1 scoop triple chocolate protein powder (I use Pure Protein), 1 cup unsweetened almond milk and 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries or strawberries (whichever one I have on hand). I also like using the vanilla powder with frozen pineapples & mangoes and the 1 cup unsweetened almond milk.

I use Pure Protein triple chocolate which is 100 calories per scoop. I then add 1 cup unsweetened almond milk which is 30 calories. I then add 1/2 cup frozen mixed berries which is about 40 calories.

I use Pure Protein; the triple chocolate shake is my favorite. I'm on a tight budget so this works for my pocket book. I can get it at Walmart for $9.97. One scoop has 100 calories, 4 net carbs, 3g fiber and 15g of protein. I usually make a shake consisting of one scoop of powder, 1 cup unsweetened Silk Almond Milk and a…

My favorite breakfast is a 2 egg omlette with black olives, artichokes, spinach and mushrooms along with 2 Morning Star sausage links! Those Paleo pancakes are AWESOME too!!!

I always keep hard boiled eggs in my fridge for when I'm in a hurry so I can just grab one with some fruit. My favorite breakfast is 2 Morning Star Sausage Links and a 2 egg omlette with veggies (black olives, artichokes, spinach, mushrooms is my favorite combo). Sometimes I make a waffle "taco" using one frozen gluten…

I think they are really good too. I too added extra veggies and I had a salad with them too. My favorites are the chicken & broccoli alfredo and the crustless pot pie. They are convenient which is nice. I just got the free "Starter Kit" from the Atkins web page and a buy one get one free coupon came in the package which…

Bump.....thank you all for these wonderful recipes!!!

I use Body by Vi protein powder and I found this blog with 100 recipes; you could use any protein powder. The ones I have tried are awesome. My favorites are key iime pie; chocolate covered strawberries and chocolate peanut butter cup. I use Silk unsweetened almond milk in all my smoothies. Good Luck!

Plato's Closet is a really nice second hand store and I've found some great stuff there cheap.

These have become two of my favorite avocado recipes! http://www.cookincanuck.com/2012/03/salad-cups-with-quinoa-shrimp-avocado-lemon-dressing-recipe/ http://www.skinnytaste.com/2012/04/avocado-egg-salad.html#more A lot of people have mentioned uses I love already! Avocados are pretty much yummy with about anything :happy:

I would LOVE to!!!! How do I join; never done the boards/groups and stuff before? :happy:

LOL those stories are priceless! I'm a kindergarten teacher so everyday is an adventure & the things they come up with always have me in stitches!!!!

I so feel your frustration; I have the same issues. I too went and saw my gyno and didn't want to take birth control so she recommended taking Vitamin E, Magnesium, Calcium, Vitamin D and Bcomplex. It's helped A LOT!!! I also use the calendar to keep track and the week before my period I up my potassium intake which my…

I found these off of pinterest and they were so yummy. You could probably put blueberries in them! They are gluten & carb free!! For four 6-inch pancakes Ingredients: 2 oz cream cheese 2 eggs 1 packet stevia sweetener 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) Put all ingredients in a blender or magic bullet. Blend until smooth. Let…

I think I would have a doctor look at that ASAP. Good Luck.

At Starbucks I love their Shaken Iced Tea Lemonade with Passion Tea but lots of calories & gets expensive so I found on a blog somewhere how to make your own (I wish I could remember the blog so I could give credit where due but I can't so sorry). Tazo Passion Tea Bags Crystal Light Individual packets Truvia sweetner…

Do you take a multi-vitamin? I had the same problem so my doctor did blood work and found that I was extremely deficient in Vitamin D. So I take a Viactiv calcium chew with Vitamin D plus Women's One a Day. The doctor also said I wasn't eating enough calories - I work out 5 days a week & burn between 600-800 calories each…
