Depending on the meal I will either eat a very small portion or tell them that I've already eaten/ trying to go vegetarian / not hungry / that I have left overs that I need to get eaten first.

These are some great tips and websites! Thank you!

I don't consider it a joke but rather a jab at a vegetarian who was asking for help. A jab that says, "**** that you're so wrong. Just eat meat". It's rude and intolerant to the life choices of another. To answer your last statement, I'm not a vegetarian. I'm a Flexitarian, a diet that consists mostly of vegetarian foods…

I don't think it's a smart *kitten* mood but a rude and uncalled for comment by someone who doesn't understand that not everyone wants to eat meat who just wanted to be a typical opinion pushing jerk. As for the OP, Here is a sample frugal meal plan. * Monday: Zucchini Fritters, Apple Slices, and Mixed Green Salad *…

I know how you feel. :( I lost mine as well at the store. It was never found or turned in. Devastating.

I'm not sure if your on Metformin for your PCOS, but if you are make sure you take it! You can also take 2 capsules of cinnamon pills a day which helps regulate your sugars and glucose in a different way. :)

I have PCOS as well (diagnosed 2008) and yes it does make losing weight difficult, but not impossible. You just have to work a bit harder and alter your diet. The best thing that I've found is to follow a diabetic diet and low GI diet. To lose the weight you really need to get your cardio up and get the blood pumping. By…

I really like Quaker rice cakes. The chocolate ones are great with some fat-free cool whip. Plain they are only 60 calories. Another good option are fruits and veggies. Celery with hummus is good. Those laughing cow wedges with low-carb crackers are also nommy!

I would love a copy of the pamphlet as well. :) my e-mail is x@deltaechozulu.com Vegetarian Chili Total Time: 8 hours, 15 minutes Ingredients: * 12 oz. pkg. frozen protein crumbles * 2 onions, chopped * 2 (14 oz.) cans diced tomatoes, undrained * 15 oz. can tomato sauce * 1-2 Tbsp. chili powder * 1 tsp. ground cumin * 2…

Honestly no. When I work out I just feel good and refreshed. I think there has only been a time or two that I've ever actually felt hungry afterward.

I love the Quaker rice cakes myself. Anywhere from 50-70 calories depending on which flavor you choose. I love taking the chocolate ones and adding a bit of cool-whip. :)

I'm by no means anorexic and the past week and a half I have struggled most days to get my caloric intake above 800 calories. I don't force myself to eat if I'm not hungry. I work out which makes me not hungry. Sometimes I'm running around too much at work or the food has too high of a sugar content for me to eat without…

Each town should have a grocery store, why not build your own.

When I worked at Subway I brought a lunch to work. I'd ask if you could do the same. Otherwise I would learn what's in the food and calories of what you're wanting.

When I drink I make sure to add it to my log as well as drink an extra couple of glasses of water to help with the dehydration.

THat's great to hear. I might have to buy it now. The group feature sounds very nifty and would help with a lot of peoples dislike of working out alone!

As a comfort eater I try to work out when I feel the urge to emotionally eat. Then if I still feel that hunger pang I'll seek out the healthiest food choice. Sometimes I can't do that because I have that crunchy salty urge or something, so I will portion out 1/2 a serving to a full serving but no more and take it out of…

I've been told and read that the Wii version is better than the PS3 version, but I like the idea of achievements. I think it helps with the motivation. The best thing you can do is give it a shot and the worst that will happen is that you'll be out $60... which you could always sell it online.

I know how you feel. I finally had to start kicking myself when I found that I was just aimlessly surfing the internet or watching TV. "You could use this time to work out!" I've found that once I've started a workout I'm actually more motivated to continue on with it. The trouble is just starting. Recently my sister and I…

Go with lean meats and fish. A 3oz serving of Talapia is 97 calories according to the bag. I usually pair mine up with some whole grain brown rice or salad. You can also make fish tacos, but that's up to taste and preference. Someone suggested Low-GI foods which I also recommend. Not sure what calorie range you're looking…

@Stella77 I think it's a bit rude to suggest eating meat after someone has stated they would like to cut them from their diet. As for ideas try looking into some vegan, raw food, and low GI diets. As for ideas you could try vegetable soups, salads, scrambles. Not sure where tofu sits for you, some people group it in with…

36tsp of margarine? Is this a typo?

I wonder if I could substitute the butter with something healthier, otherwise I really like this recipe.

I have a Hello Kitty glass and a Hamtaro bowl. Just need to get those plates!

Bump :)

I'm curious about your excel sheet. Would it be possible for you to send me the template?

Aside from all the healthy aspects that other members commented on I think that "watching what you eat" becomes an obsession when you obsess about it. When you begin to become unhappy and freak out/feel bad about what goes in your mouth. When you cry or feel horrible because you went over in calories one day rather then…

You look amazing! Congratulations on your weight loss.

Spinach salad. Steamed green beans. Sweet Potato Biscuits. Fruit Salsa. :)
