Surprise Thai Chicken Curry I call it this because I put the ingredients in the crockpot hoping for the best and what came out what better tasting Thai chicken than I've had in Thai restaurants! And without coconut milk too! It goes very well with Jasmine rice or any other aromatic rice. 3 chicken breasts cut into small…

Try Bodyrocktv.com They have these 15 minute workouts that are awesome. I started seeing results in a week. I look more toned now and parts of my body don't jiggle anymore! Also, they started their May 30 day challenge yesterday and they have different workouts for beginners which is great because IMO, the normal workouts…

Yeah MFP does not have a Zumba option. I do pretty intense 2 hours of zumba twice a week with weights. I checked a lot of websites to try and estimate calories burnt. Most of the reliable websites said you burn about 400-600 calories per hour. Not 800-1000. So I made my own exercise for MFP, and put it in as 450 cals burnt…

As far as I know, that's wrong... I've always heard chicken breasts are lower in calories than thighs. Which is sad because I prefer the taste of chicken thighs over breasts. I still googled it though... You can read it at this link. http://www.livestrong.com/article/418813-the-nutrition-of-chicken-breasts-vs-thighs/

I made this today and it was OH.SO.GOOD! Hassle-free Salsa Chipotle chicken 3 chicken breasts whole Old El Paso hot salsa (650ml) 1/2 packet chipotle pepper Clubhouse Seasoning 5 pepperoncini peppers cut up Cayenne pepper (optional) Rub the seasoning all over the chicken and put on the bottom of the slow cooker. Dump the…

Healthy Homemade Yellow Dal South Indian Style I make this in a pressure cooker since it takes about 5-10 minutes. The longer way would be to make it in a pot. Can be eaten with bread, roti, rice or by itself. Its pretty filling too. Makes 5 servings of 1 cup each Ingredients: 1 cup Toor dal (split pigeon peas) soaked for…

This is my version of chicken kebabs. Very short prep and cooking time and very low fat. They aren't actually kebabs, but they taste like them and look like gyro meat. I made about a kilo of this and we finished it in 2 days... They turned out that good. This dish is about 120 calories for 1/3 cup of chicken pieces. 3…

Haha! Its the same reason I keep mine open too!

Great website! Only thing is, the Indian food recipes on most websites are for restaurant versions of the dish which can screw my daily calorie limits. The same thing made at home would taste almost totally different and about a 100 times healthier. Big problem with Indian food recipes online! I have to keep calling my mum…

Vahrehvah is a great website. The chicken biryani recipe is excellent! I try and tweak all their recipes to avoid using oil or butter or too much masalas though.

I generally look at people's diaries not to comment or chide them about what they eat, but to get different low cal ideas for snacking... Like last week I saw Shirataki noodles in someones diary and googled it only to find that it could be the best thing I've found this year!

I'm Indian and I find that many of our dishes take a long time to cook. You can't just add a few things together and make an Indian dish successfully unless you buy pre-packaged sauces which are full of calories and preservatives. I try to make it as healthy as possible so I can eat in large amounts. I can't snack in small…

1. A kitchen scale 2. Shirataki noodles 3. Bikini (Bought my first one ever today!! I don't know if I'll ever wear it though..)

Ummm no... I never thought it was anything that serious.. From the looks of it, neither did he!

I used to have the same kind of pain. I saw a doctor about it, because it got very severe very soon into my jogging, and he said that I needed to up my calcium and Vit D intake and find another cardio routine for a couple of months. I didn't jog for 2 months and did my best to try and drink a glass of milk everyday and…

I'm just glad I got to read it! Best 10 mins of the day.

I was on page 5 before it abruptly dropped me. oh God, I haven't laughed so much in ages! I actually almost fell off my chair after coughing water out on my laptop screen! I was just about to 'bump' it to show my husband!

"Bump" for later

I'm in! I have 22 pounds to go and need help keeping myself on track!

Me too! I have 23 pounds to go!

I'm 5'5" and looking to lose 22 pounds to reach my ideal weight. I've already lost some 8 pounds but I'm finding it hard to keep myself motivated to do it... Need some friends to keep me going!
