No recipe to contribute, but i'm vegetarian and trader joes as awesome vegetarian cuban black beans in a can. you can make black bean soup out of them, add them to tomato soup, and use them in chile, and even use them in a salad :-)

Create your own exercises and ad it to the data base.

Listen to what your body is telling you. I think everyone has a different threshold, as I can see from the other posts. I usually can exercise after about 45 min to 1 hour after eating. If you feel like you can still feel the food sloshing around in your stomach, then maybe you should give it a little longer, if not you…

It sounds crazy but you do need to eat all of your calories. If you don't your body will go into starvation mode and you won't loose any weight.

Sounds like you had a really filling awesome dinner with way less calories than the rest of the family. Maybe you can share your secret with your Mom on how you can have an awesome meal and not eat a day's worth of calories.

I purchase Shirataki noodles in the Chicagoland area at the local Asian Market and even the local health food store. They are basically like the rice noodle. I use one package per person. The noodels I buy here are packed in a liquid and it does have a 'fishy' odor. I just put them in the collandor and wash them off really…
