I personally like hummus, feta, lettuce and turkey in half of a pita. Very delicious and filling...though maybe a bit high in sodium..oh well can't win 'em all!

That is an amazing accomplishment! I walked about 2 miles after work that day in Boston and was sweating profusely...never could have run! EDIT: Just looked at your picture and I go to nursing school with those girls, what a small world!

I've been making some delicious homemade cookies based off of a Betty Crocker recipe (I think) with some minor tweaking. 1 1/4 cups of whole wheat flour 1 cup all purpose flour 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup white sugar 1 stick of softened butter 1/2 cup of unsweetened apple sauce 1 egg..or 1/4 cup egg substitute if you…

I used to work night shifts as a nurse's aid last year and luckily would have them grouped together for the most part. For the four days that I worked I really just tried to completely reverse myself and eat as normally as possible. I would sleep from 8:30am when I got home to about 4:00p then get up and eat "breakfast"…

ahh SOOOO JEALOUS!! I was just thinking the other day that my life would be complete with an avocado tree. That way I will never be expected to pay $2.99 for one freaking avocado!! I haven't been able to buy any recently because they are so pricey here (in MA)

I like the plain non-fat with a little agave nectar, almonds and berries. I usually get the bigger tubs of stoneyfield organic oikos or fage but I'll buy chobani if its on sale for $1

yum can't wait to try this!!

Wow I'm suprised people say it makes them hungry! My asthma used to be really poorly controlled so if I got a cold I would end up needing prednisone for 10 days and I was nauseous for the entire time! I remember it happened over Thanksgiving one year and I was so sad that I felt too miserable to enjoy any of the food. I…

yum will definitely try soon!

I had a similar issue with my boyfriend who can be such a candy junkie! He would offer treats to me consecutively, so much so that it felt like he was trying to shove it down my throat. I had to explain to him that while I appreciate that he wants to share his tasty food with me, if I say "no" to the first offer then…

I'm about 5'11" and I'm thinking around 160-170 will be my end goal. It all depends on how I look and feel though. Has anyone read The Tall Book by Arianne Cohen? Its a great food for any tall woman =]

This probably isn't very helpful but I buy whatever is on sale or cheaper that week...or what I have a coupon for. I only buy the non-fat plain varieties and I would say that I enjoy them equally. I usually have it for lunch with a little agave nectar, berries and almonds!

111 pounds = red meat an average American eats in a year This is what I've lost since my highest!! I can't wait to have shed an entire supermodel...I'm 5'11" so that is like splitting myself in two and creating a model lol

Haha that is an awesome NSV right there :tongue: :laugh:

Mix coffee with some sugar free hot cocoa mix! Then add 2 tbsp of half and half or whole milk. Creamy and tasty with limited calories. EDIT: Just read your aversion to alternative sweeteners...I know the feeling. I personally don't add any sweetener to my coffee and definitely not splenda or those types of sweeteners. If…

That's awesome!!!:happy:

I commute to school so I often have to pack a lunch with me so my default is often yogurt with nuts and berries. Apples, pears, bananas, oranges and any other fruit makes a good snack. Vegetables and hummus, pita and hummus I've also started exploring protein and snack bars to eat after class before the gym when I don't…

Hey I'm a 4th year nursing student in a 5 year program and I also have two part time jobs. I eventually had to decide that exercising was a main priority for me so I figured out the best times to fit it in. I usually go after work on Mondays, after clinical on Wednesdays, and after class on Thursday and/or Friday unless…

When you avoid homework by perusing the MFP message boards rather than your facebook feed!

Anyone use Hemp Protein? I had some Manitoba Harvest Dark Chocolate mixed with soy milk, strawberries and banana this morning and it was pretty awesome. 4 TBSP is 120 calories and 8 g protein...so maybe not as much as some other powders from what it seems other people are responding with but personally I'm not looking for…

Saw this on the message boards a few days ago... "Alcoholic drinks can be a sneaky source of calories, sugar, and even salt — but not when you play bartender. Try to get a few healthier alternatives under that (suddenly much looser) belt to impress friends and family and order with confidence when out at the bar. Here…
