Do you put any seasoning on them? Roasted in the oven? For how long?

Thank you, Lily! Or you can email me at mca_taramcfarlan@live.com !

How do you cook your Green Lentils???

Thanks!! That helps a lot!! Have you ever heard of Steele Cut Oatmeal??? Someone mentioned that on here once and my friend Amber said she loves them.

I have increased protein, fiber and some fat, eating greens, fruits, lean meats, and I have had less hunger pains. Alot of people on here told me to do that, and it works. I hope that helps.

snap peas as a raw veggie snack, or sweet peas cooked???

May I have your homemade turkey vegetable soup recipe???

Great!! If I ever can get my mom on here, I'll add her too.

Lily, Hey!! thanks for responding!! It's okay if it's delayed, I'm always late myself....lol. Wow!!! That sounds awesome!!! You know, I'm actually in the Biggest Loser contest with my church right now. I don't see myself winning though, I need more motivation!!! I will have to see if I can find that DVD!!

YOU GO GIRL!!!!! proud of you!!!!

Yeah!! I've always heard that you should eat a BIG breakfast, a moderate lunch and go lighter at dinner. Sometimes I let myself go with a big dinner, but I'm trying to discipline myself!! lol

Okay, I can do that, thanks!!

That sounds like a wonderful idea! I will definitely remember that when I get a touch screen phone!! lol. it's in my near future!!

That's very wise!! When we get out of this financial rut we're in, I'm definitely going to start doing that! Oh, chocolate dipped strawberries sound so yummy!! I have flour, but I'm too lazy to bake sometimes....lol. What are pizzelles and where would I get them??? Thanks for the advice!!!

Oh, how neat! Do you mix it with water?

Thanks!! That does help!! :) I'm a little late replying, but back on the horse!!!

Hi Lisa, I love MFP compared to fitday!! Glad to see you here too!! And yes, I agree with you, a lot of people are here to help. I love that.

I like rice cakes, just not sure if I could "totally" replace bread with them!! lol. I have tried to be good lately by switching from white bread to whole wheat or whole grain bread. I can somehow tell a difference. I like the taste of them too. Thanks for the advice, I need to try me some protein shakes.

livin, I was not sure how to check back for replies on my threads. Now that I'm learning more about this site, I will be better about that! lol. Thanks for the advice, I need to stock up on spices for sure, and can you give me examples of red, orange and purple veggies? I know carrots for orange, but what else? I just…

I want to make sure I have correct nutrient information.

Thanks so much for this group, girl! I want to invite my friend Amber, is that okay? I saw where you said anyone can join. I appreciate it!!

Can ya'll look at my food diary for today? I had a big breakfast, but I'm proud of myself that I stayed under cals!!!

I was pleasantly surprised to find Jillian workouts on youtube, worked out to one the other day. :)

By the way, what is the Last Chance Program???

Is it Lily? Thanks so much, I appreciate that! I'm in Central timezone. It's 10:25 pm here now. That number I gave is my landline, but you can text my google voice, and I get an email: 501-444-2538. I thank you for the support! I will try to do the same for you!

Hey Ronda! That's actually a landline, but you can text this number: 501-444-2538. I wouldn't mind to start working out in the evenings too, but right now, my routine is mornings after kids get on bus. :)

I think I found it....lol. thanks though!!!

how did you get your 31 lbs. to go banner on here?

I joined the "Biggest Loser" contest at my church, lost five pounds in one week last week, but this week I have slacked. I can tell I haven't exercised like I should, yesterday I attempted to do Jillian Michaels 30 day shred, level 1, I phoned it in after 15 mins. Today, I went to the workout room at my church, walked on…

Thank you, YoriaRaine (sp?) - I appreciate your response! I think I understand now, but it's still confusing..lol. So, I should basically let MFP calculate my goals? That may be the wise thing, huh?
