I would love the slow cooker recipes! TIA

Yeah, I actually added some lean hamburger meat and a bunch of seasonings to my liking. The husband even liked it! He wasn't thrilled when he saw it, but was happy after he tasted it.

Yes, I was using my laptop and still didn't see Zumba.

Wow, that's awesome! I logged it as dance. I only did it for 30 minutes and it said I burned 280 calories. I know this isn't 100% accurate, but it is somewhat of an idea. I need to invest in a hear rate monitor. Any suggestions on brand? What is best for the price?

Cream of wheat! Like 200 calories.

I know, I need to get a HRM....for real!

When I drank Diet Coke, it wasn't because it was a "Diet" drink. I actually preferred the flavor of Diet Coke to any other soda. Now that I haven't been drinking it in over 6 months, though.......I am hooked on water.

Take some water pills! lol OR have your doctor get you Phentermine.....of course once you get off of it you will gain everything back and more.

Well, I should be exercising but I haven't started yet. :)

Louis, The leaves hold the most flavor too.

Thanks everyone! This helps me out a lot!

Thanks everyone! I am trying to also keep my husband happy when I make a meal. I can make steamed veggies, and make him a can of pork and beans since he won't eat the veggies. I don't want it to be the same with pastas! He will say he will eat the whole wheat pasta, but when it comes down to it...he just eats around it. :(

Thanks for the ideas, everyone! :smile:

Buccees - that is a great idea! Actually, I started a freezer meal swap group last year. We each baked one dish, but 5 total. Then we would get together and everyone (there were 5 of us) would get one of each persons dish to put in our freezer.

A wrap sounds delish! What dressing to you put on it, or do you eat it plain?

Pumpkin soup is very good, I love it!

I have never had any side effects with my BC. I have taken Kariva, and really liked it.

Thanks everyone. I have no idea what "games" are even offered on the Wii Fit, but I think you are right about the Zumba. Now, I wonder if my husband will do it with me. ;)

That is wonderful! Keep it up, it is a big victory!

Hello, thanks and best of luck to you as well! I have gotten way off track but and getting back into the swing of things and ready!
