Sounds delish. Bumping for later :)

http://www.veg-world.com/articles/cups.htm That's a pretty good site to tell you approximate weights for different foods in cups.

Thanks for posting, i've been trying out different granola recipes and they all seem so high cal. I will definitely be trying these out.

lol, made my day x)

1) Cottage Cheese 2) Tomatoes 3) Cucumber 4) Carrots 5) Spinach

Count me in as well

I had my first pitta pizza today, where have they been all my life! Such a great idea to add zucchini and squash, i'll definitely try that.

This sounds so delicious. About how big would you say one serving is?

I keep seeing recipes for this, I really must try it. Just waiting for cauluflowers to be in season again, they're ridiculously expensive in my area at the moment.

Hi all :) Thought i'd join in. I'm a lacto-ovo vegetarian of 12 years. It was a bit difficult for me a few years ago because I became allergic to nearly everything from the age of 14-22 (most vegetables, pulses etc), I only ate cheese, bread and potatoes for the longest time, which i'm sure helped me pile on the pounds.…

I have this gorgeous green dress, that is cut down to like my belly in the front and my butt in the back. It's a lot less sl**ty than it sounds! I bought it ages ago because I loved it, but never had an excuse to wear it. When I lose the weight I don't care if I have an excuse to wear it or not, i'll wear it to go buy…

They sounds yummy, bumping for later :D

I've been drinking this for years, not for any health benefits but simply because I don't drink any other hot drinks and this I like the taste of! I usually cut a wedge of lemon, squeeze the juice into a mug and chuck the lemon in the cup as well. Add a teaspoon of honey and a half teaspoon of cinnamon, freshly boiled…

Pain au Chocolat. So yummy, I don't buy them regularly, but if I do buy them I WILL find a way to work them into my calories!

This looks gorgeous, apart from the goats cheese which i hate, but i'm sure some mozzarella would be an okay sub. I'll add this to my ever expanding list of things to try :)

I also have cfs/me, but can't say i've noticed a link between the foods and feeling worse, i'm pretty much the same. I take a multivitamin every evening, i'm not sure if that's helped or not either. Not a very helpful reply sorry!

Yes definitely. You look fab!

I've noticed a pattern in that I usually have a small gain for that weeks weigh-in, but the next week I lose a little more than normal. I still weigh-in though, just to keep myself in check.

These sound great. I really dislike the taste of raw almonds and usually have to eat them with something else, so these sound delish.

Wow a really great way to think about it. Nice post.

Ooh great, I have some sweet potatoes i've been meaning to use up, this sounds perfect!

Sounds pretty good!

Yum, I love carrot cake so this is definitely going on my list of things to try!

I don't have a planned free/cheat day, but if I have a day where i'm really craving something i'll eat it and not worry too much about it. I think it stops me from going crazy knowing that I can have it if I want to. If I do have a free day now I don't go all out eating whatever I want, i still show some restraint.

I'm having a boring but still delicious dinner. Baked potato with cottage cheese and a spinach salad. It's great when you're too tired to cook. Other veggie meals I love are spiced sweet potato wedges with a bean burger, chillis and quorn fillets with quinoa and steamed veggies.

Hi everyone. I've been on MFP a while now but figured I should stop being a hermit and talk on here more often/make friends/get & give support etc. I'm Jenny and I live in Cambridgeshire. Didn't realise I was so large until the end of 2009 in a christmas piccy so i've been slowly trying to drop some weight. I lost around a…

Bumping to read later, too much to read right now! lol

For me it's not so much what I ate (mostly), as I've always eaten the right foods. It was more the times I ate and how often. Usually I'd go without food till 5pm maybe, then eat dinner and that would be it, unless I had a chocolate bar (usually a share size one). Drinks were a big downfall for me, soda, lots of it, and…

Tomatoes Cucumber Houmous Dark Chocolate Grapes (I love freezing them and keeping them next to the ice cream, so I have the healthier choice instead!) Bananas Eggs Carrots

A handful of rocket or spinach, a little low fat mozzarella, halved baby plum tomatoes and shredded cucumber drizzled with garlic infused olive oil and black pepper. Very yummy.
