Cracker Barrel Chicken and Dumplings with Fried Okra and steak fries and biscuits and a big ole sugary glass of raspberry lemonade :blushing: followed by chocolate cobbler (which they no longer serve) and vanilla bean ice cream

For me the week before its like I can't eat enough, but the week of I barely want anything to eat. Find healthier sweets is a good option or maybe i should say lower calorie sweets like fiber one brownies.

Celestial Seasonings Green Tea Decaf Mint is really tasty I just discovered this a couple weeks ago. Normally though I do plain green tea (Lipton, Celestial, whichever is on sale or I have a coupon for), with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and raw tupelo honey. I would also recommend trying "variety packs" of tea, that…

raw tupelo honey Oh and I make mine with almond milk instead of water.

I am 33, single mom of a 10 year old.

Besides Calories of course, Cholesterol, Sugar, Sodium. I am currently on medication for high cholesterol and trying to not end up on it for life.

I'll be honest the hardest part for me was the white bread. I do have a serious sweet tooth but I was able to get past that. The fast food part I just made sure I packed my lunch, and had back up lunches here at work. Made sure I had healthy snacks available. It wasn't EASY by any means but I did it.

Central Georgia: Hmmm hard to say but maybe pulled pork, and peach's (peach ice cream, peach cobbler) Definitely plenty of fried stuff.

I've actually done the 21 day no junk food challenge before, successfully too :). I'm game to try it again. However, I'll start April 8, since I'm on spring break from work the first week in April.

TWO sets of twins O M G!

While yes I am busy enough, I would not say I'm too busy, what I will say is some days I'm too tired. However, the further along I get on this journey I realize: 1. that if its really important and I really want to loose the weight It's time to suck it up 2. If I don't make the time to take care of myself surely I can't…

my college roommate and I constantly bickered about Mayo versus Miracle Whip, in her mind it was all the same. :noway: we always ended up with a small jar of each Mayo for me Miracle whip for her.

I can't stand that stuff and my daughter begs me to buy it yuck!

My vote is Honey PB and Apple Jelly, (had grape jelly overkill in college, now only buy it for my daughter)

I like to mix a little A-1 and Heinz 57, however I don't mind eating it with no sauce either, and dip it in my mashed potatoes, cause what is steak without potatoes :happy:

My mom used to do this all the time. Still does I think. I don't eat eggs frequently enough, usually only on the weekend when cooking for more than myself so I stick with the skillet.

bump for later

Ok this made me chuckle :blushing:

Found this on Good Housekeeping website by coincidence................... The slimming ingredient isn't caffeine. Antioxidants called catechins are what help speed metabolism and fat burning. In a recent Japanese study, 35 men who drank a bottle of oolong tea mixed with green tea catechins lost weight, boosted their…

I've heard somethings that say drinking warm green tea first thing in the morning helps to increase your metabolism. Adding raw honey and fresh lemon juice is supposed to help with your immune system as well. I think (only my opinion/observation) the difference with green tea and coffee is that most people don't drink…

Yes, definately keep saying no. Here, we have vendors bringing in Krispy Creme, or Wilsons (a local bakery that is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo good) almost daily. I told my co-workers to not even call me over to their office until they were all gone or hidden. At my previous location which was more women than men,…

I take the cabbage and cut it up, wash it really well, put a tiny bit of olive oil or veggie oil in the bottom of the pot, drop cabbage in and let cook. I don't add water because the water from washing it will be sufficient. I also us a pack of goya ham seasoning to get that taste of seasoning meat without the fatty meat.…

OMG I had one of these, it stayed in my trunk until I got ready to travel home from college or vice versa and I'm only 33! I was so happy when my parents upgraded me to ............................ you guessed it a NOKIA LOL

I wasn't that lucky I WAS the remote control! [/quote] yes!!! my parents would call me from the back of the house to turn the channel :mad:
