  • Ontario here! National capital region.
  • Chocolate dipped fruit... Honey or Maple syrup?
  • Glazed... Peanut butter or Nutella?
  • The prep sucks for sure but I was able to drink beef and chicken broth and consomme. That helped with the taste of the prep stuff...
  • Get yourself a slow-cooker if you don't have one already. I live by mine! I make chili or soup or curry or an infinite number of other great recipes in bulk and portion them out before storing them. It easy (prep, set, and leave) and makes the house smell wonderful!
  • I am the queen of making excuses so when I read about this "Set Point", my brain went right to... Woohoo! Another reason I'm not losing weight! :) So I looked it up. http://www.mirror-mirror.org/set.htm The article doesn't talk about the body "preventing" weight loss because of a set point but more that the body may make…
  • Good morning! I'm so glad to see that this thread has stayed somewhat alive (although the last post was in March lol). I am on Day 2 of Round 634... *sigh* It's a constant battle. Interestingly enough, I've only gained about 4 pounds since October so I'm hoping I can use my previous successes and build on that! Hoping all…
  • Butternut squash is sooo tasty. We made a squash soup this weekend and it turned out really good.
  • Hi to all and glad to see you back here modacielo73! I totally get the whole comfort food thing! Let's see if we can't find lighter versions of them and make this winter work in our favor! I have a great turkey chili recipe for the crock pot and I'm going to be trying a spaghetti squash pasta recipe this week. I've never…
  • Just made homemade pizzas on cauliflower crust for the first time! Really delicious! I ate 3/4 of one pizza for about 650 calories but I would have been fine with 1/2 a pizza. Sooo filling! :)
  • Hi @JennyandJoe! I have some go-to recipes for my crock-pot like turkey chili or a Mexican chicken soup. I also love hard-boiled eggs with hummus on a flatbread or pita flats with tzatziki and souvlaki pork or chicken. Today I made turkeyrolls with tomato and a spinach/arugula mix with hummus. They were really good and…
  • Missed you guys too @ptkat28 and congrats on your progress! Hope your new job is everything you want it to be!
  • Love that positive outlook @OneHundredToLose!
  • Thanks 17761776! It's good to be back!
  • Hi all! I've missed you all and your support but once again I sabotaged my health and hid my head in the sand because of it. So here I go again... My fridge is stocked with healthy food (although today kinda sucks because I've been busy cleaning out the bad stuff that I didn't stop to eat) but I'm back on board and hoping…
  • Hi All! I am still here and somewhat kicking! :) Like many of you, life is just getting in the way recently so my logging has been lacking. But fear not! I am still among you and holding steady. @modacielo73: I am a fellow Canuck! The Timmies must have given it away! LOL :) For those of you who are new, welcome to our…
  • Don't give up my friends! Think about how great you feel when you're working this and how disappointed you feel right now. Little steps... It's how we start this and how we pick ourselves back up. I struggled not to buy breakfast at Timmies this morning knowing I had oatmeal waiting at work. But I did it and so can you!!!
  • GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD Morning Everyone!!! Having a rough couple of weeks at work so I apologize that I haven't been around. I'm still being semi-good and watching what I eat but I'm not getting enough sleep and I'm falling into bed at night without logging so I'm really not sure how this is going. Things should start to…
  • We can do this ladies! I am trying no coffee this morning... it's too humid to drink something hot. Not sure how long I"ll last...
  • Second morning no coffee at home! It feels weird... LOL but I forgot to stretch! UGH!!! Bird brain I tell ya! Is there a super food that boosts your memory power??? :)
  • @ptkat28: Thanks for responding to modacielo73! I didn't get a chance to respond so I'm glad someone did! NSVs are soooo important to keep track of! They can be inches lost, a challenge overcome, buying a piece of clothing 1 size down... anything that you feel is an achievement and should be celebrated! :) Hope everyone is…
  • Good evening and happy Memorial day weekend to all those who are celebrating! Welcome to those of you just joining this fab group and congrats to all of you for just being you! Oh yeah... and for all those NSVs ;) This evening I want to take a moment and remind all of you how awesome you are! I thank you for being here and…
  • Love it! Posting it now!
  • Wow that sounds really good! I just realized I said "( hours" in my last post and I meant to say "9" lol Last night I got between 8 and 9 so hopefully the fatigue I've been feeling will start to lessen. :) I'm using fresh parsley in my rice tonight and I had some wild garlic in my pasta last night! :) Challenge achieved!…
  • Good morning everyone! Today is a new day and I am back in the saddle! We've cleared off the treadmill (yuck) and our weight machine so... new game plan! I'll be using one or both every day! :) @tetorteson: welcome and congrats on your success! As MischelM said, we stumble and fall but we get back up! Just like…
  • @ptkat28: WOOT! You go girl! Welcome to all who have joined us here is our little family of motivators. :) @MischelM: I can't say I'm crazy about the treadmill either. I prefer walking outside. :)
  • I GOT ALMOST ( HOURS LAST NIGHT!!! WOOT!!! LOL In terms of herbs, so far I've used fresh cilantro in my homemade guacamole. DELISH!
  • Hi All! My apologies for not being around. My lack of sleep last week has caught up to me and I"m tired, and sick and it has caused my eating habits to deteriorate. @dbowen7984: I feel your pain! It's been a really rough 3 days and as some of you might have noticed, my diary is blank. UGH! I refuse to get on a scale this…
  • I forgot and read in bed last night so I got about 6.5 hours... grrr... I know tonight won't be it for me but I'll try again tomorrow!
  • Good morning Everyone! @modacielo: WOW! That's a fantastic achievement my friend! I don't know that I would trust myself at a buffet quite yet. LOL @danielle7577: Welcome back and Gratz!!! 45 pounds lost is phenomenal! @taketwo2014: Welcome to us... :) @ all of of you... THANK YOU FOR BEING YOU!!!
