The way the word "diet" is used irratates the holy he** out of me. Diet is not just a temporary way of eating. Noun: The kinds of food that a person, animal, or community habitually eats. Verb: Restrict oneself to small amounts or special kinds of food in order to lose weight: "it is difficult to diet in a house full of…

Too cute!

That rocks, and might even get me off the couch. Thanks.

bump for some great ideas!

alternate your chocolate allowance between the milk and dark. Dark chocolate is an acquired taste. Eventually you find that the dark chocolate will start to be more satisfying. It takes quite a while though. Although I have pretty much switched to dark chocolate, every now and then I want a really good piece of milk…

brown rice, quinoa, oats, wheatberries, (makes an awesome salad). Indulge in some yummy fruits and vegetables, avocados, have a tomato slice, treat yourself to a banana. But treat the fruit carefully, the carbs will add up fast, but its nice to build them into your maintenance life.

That sandwich sounds amazing.

roasted seasoned seaweed. Salty, crunchy and 100 calories for an entire package.

OK, now I'm having steak and sweet potato for dinner!

I am a serious caffeine addict. I used to drink numerous cups, latte's, coffee with cream, hundreds of calories a day. Here is what I did. First I have one cup the way I like it in the morning. Quad shot of espress with some sugar free syrup and a tablespoon of heavy cream. Yummy and kick starts the day. After that, black…

Thank you for the honesty of your post. I was doing good for a while and then have been losing steam the last few months. I came to your post looking for motivation myself.

That's pretty much what I do. If you can handle the sodium, pop a bouillon cube or two in the water. Really does make a difference. Only way I can get my hubby to eat brown rice.

bump for research at home.

As others have mentioned, bring your protein powder, you can add it to an iced latte for a quick meal. I pack fruit and nut mixtures that can be added to instant oatmeal. Beef jerkey, Slim Jims (high in sodium, but hey, they don't need refrigeration) Also, when flying over, check and see what the airline is serving. I will…

As a Yankee who was raised on sweet tea (yup, I'm half southern) it took a while, but I now enjoy my tea, black and green straight, no sweetener. Start by cutting the sweet tea with plain tea, or adding less sugar. When that gets to tasting good, cut it back a little more. You will get there, I can't drink it sweet…

I keep a stash of high protein meal replacement bars under my desk at work in case we are locked into the building for an undetermined amount of time. When they are about a month from expiration I buy a new bunch and set the old bunch out on the counter in the breakroom for anyone who wants them. Not the tasiest things,…

When I have been hitting the carbs too heavy, it backfires on me and all I do is crave!!! A few days of very low carb, 20 grams or less, without limiting my protein or fats will get the appetite monster back under control. It may take a few days to actually accomplish this, keep lots of non carb things handy and drink lots…

Deli slices (lean ham, turkey) spread with a Laughing Cow wedge and rolled up. I can usually spread one wedge over three slices of meat. Sometimes I like to add a pickle or cucumber spear before I roll it up. I keep cups of tuna in my desk for a quick snack that keeps me satiated for a couple of hours. A splash of vinegar…

Coffee addict here. LOVE cream in my coffee, but hate milk, don't like it sweet so the creamers were not an option for me. Started by allowing and budgeting a certain amount with cream. When that was gone, if I wanted more coffee it had to be black. Slowly over time I realized that I was enjoying my black coffee, your…

One of my favs for salmon, or any kind of fish filet. Pan fry in a non stick pan with a spritz of olive oil. Flip and spread on some pesto while the other side is cooking. I also like to season with the Mexican lime & chili salt. (but not at the same time as the pesto)

My coffee story. A few years ago I had major surgery. Early that morning I snuck in my doppio espresso, just had to have it. Anyways about the second day after surgery my surgeon is asking me if I ever had a cardiac condition and sent me off for more tests. Turns out my BP was sky high (don't know the exact number, I was…

People "Bump" because that way on your profile page it shows this: Pellingson57 replied to No Mayo Chicken Salad, and it included a link to this discussion. Easy way to get back to the discussion without searching.

I had the gastric bypass in 2008. My first piece of advice is research your surgeon, well. What is their success rate, more importantly, have they lost any patients due to complications? My surgeon took a conservative approach. He doesn't remove as much intestine as some. The downside is that you won't end up a size 1…

Another good option, if you want/need a little more room to stand on is Eatsmart Precision Plus Digital Bathroom Scale with Ultra Wide Platform and Step-on Technology, also available through Amazon.
