If you don't have a soy allergy, I recommend dry roasted edamame - the lightly salted type is crunchy and satisfies my pretzel or chip cravings. High in fiber and protein, too. Seapoint Farms is quite good - I found them for $1.69 a bag at Wegmans. http://www.seapointfarms.com/dry-roasted-edamame.html

I've used quinoa in stuffed peppers - either go veggie and use black beans, quinoa, onions, etc. or add ground turkey or ground chicken to the mix. I like the idea of having quinoa for breakfast - I tend to go with oatmeal, but I'll have to try the quinoa next time. Thanks. If you're on Pinterest, there's a bunch of…

Guilty! I'm due this week. Bagel for breakfast, and Chinese buffet for dinner - stayed away from the rice and noodles, but ohmygosh the salt craving...and for some reason, I craved Diet Coke. :huh:

I don't go to a gym, but when I go to the track to walk, I try to add a few jogging intervals in between. For me, that's out of my comfort zone - I love walking, but do not enjoy running at all. It's not so bad in the beginning, but by the last interval, it reminds me of that scene in "Poltergeist" where JoBeth Williams is…

Heels? Really? Yikes. I had a trainer a few years back, and he was excellent - motivating, funny, strict when he needed to be, and thorough. Always explained the machines/techniques so I fully understood. If I had had a bad day when I got to the gym, he would find an activity to help me let off some steam - usually…

Albacore tuna (in water), little bit of mayo & spicy brown mustard, Trader Joe's Pocket Full of Fiber pita, and two part skim string cheese.

Speaking from experience here - I just slipped up myself today. I know how it can feel. I agree with what other have already said - you've done an AMAZING job, so don't beat yourself up over this one time. Many of us have felt like you have, and it's OK. It really is. There was a quote I had read before, not sure the…

1. I don't want to have children. I love kids, I love my nieces and nephews, but I have no "biological clock". Personally, I would rather be honest and upfront than have a child out of some perceived sense of obligation and end up resentful later on. 2. I avoid having my photo taken. It's weird - I can look in the mirror…

OP: I'll see your bump, and raise you with a YUM. Great idea! tinalatina, I'm not a big fan of plain tomatoes, so pico de gallo is an excellent suggestion.

I've been wanting to try spaghetti squash, and these recipes sound delicious. Thank you!

You can do anything at any age - your limits may change, your goals may change, but never feel that your life stops at a…

There's no calorie marshmallow dip? *hears the angels sing* Thank you for sharing! I'm a fan of the rice cakes and PB too. Once in a great while, I'll change it up and use a dab of hazelnut spread - ooh, s'mores rice cake! For something savory, I like the Babybel Light cheeses. I'm not a big fan of coffee by itself, so I…

I cut it out completely the first month. I don't know if it's helped with the weight loss (I think my nutrition and exercise overhaul has really done more for that), but I believe that when I had soda during my work day (probably had 1-2 20 oz. bottles a day, almost every day), I felt the urge to snack more, usually salty…

OK, that's just funny! :) A few of mine are from the WMMR Preston & Steve radio show (Philly & tri-state area, represent!)

I just pulled a bag of quinoa from the pantry for dinner tonight, and was thinking I needed more recipes. Thanks so much!

Leslie Sansone Walk at Home - 4 miles is the plan for tonight. Leslie's goofy but she's fun and keeps me going.

Beautiful words to live by. I think I need to print and hang them Thank you so much.

THIS.

Society's expectations didn't come out of nowhere... they came from knowing what healthy looks like and that's not an underweight or overweight person... [/quote] First of all, I let go of any shame I felt for myself a LONG time ago. I am not ashamed of who I am, no matter what size I've been. If -you- felt disgusting and…

I've been trying a "day off" (I personally don't prefer to call it a "cheat" day, but that's just me). So far, so good. I've enjoyed myself and still lost weight. I'm still at the beginning of this, but it's definitely doable. On my non-off weekend day, I try to find a new recipe or a food I haven't tried cooking with…

On a rice cake, with celery sticks, in a smoothie, in my oatmeal, on a spoon, in a cookie.....love the stuff.

Make chicken salad with the cold leftovers. It'll be a bit drier the next day, so it won't water down any mayo you might use. Maybe use it for a chicken tortilla soup?

I've seen a lot of positive reviews on this, and I really want to try it. Only thing is, my food processor has no blade at the moment. Can I use a cheese grater to get the same consistency? Sorry if it's been answered before, but I'm tired and feeling lazy so I'm not scrolling right now. ;)

It's my favorite show right now. I do hope that eventually Raj actually finds the ability to talk to a real girl, minus the alcohol and/or his new smartphone. Think "Fun with Flags" will be a hit? *LOL*
