I'm finding this thread a little late but I just searched because I'm curious about this subject. I have been off birth control for about 4 months and have been dieting to lose 20 pounds since January. Therefore, I'm starting the birth control for the first time since watching my weight and diet. I will say, I immediately…

Hungry Girl's Yum Yum Brownies are egg free, yummy and only 2 ingredients. http://www.hungry-girl.com/show/surprises-shockers-and-swaps-yum-yum-brownie-muffins-recipe

I used to make this salad all the time. Believe it or not, it's a Paula Deen recipe. She doesn't include the nutritional information on her recipe but I can't imagine it would be bad for you judging by the ingredients. You could always use less oil.…

Ok maybe this is a silly question but where in the grocery store do you find Edamame? I would assume it's in the produce section but I didn't see any when I went to the supermarket yesterday .

I agree with this. I love some of her recipes but I hate looking on her webiste and don't have a lot of time to watch her show. ;(

You look awesome. What a motivator for me. Congrats.

I am in the same boat right now. I did give in a little to be honest but the "junk" food I gave into was still low calorie. I keep 100 calorie packs around for just this such thing. I also like Baked Lays for my potato chip cravings. And if you're like me, the only thing you really want is chocolate. I'll let myself have a…

Sounds yummy. I can't wait to try this. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, what great ideas. i would never think to use canned crab meat in these ways. I might have to watch for when it's on sale.

I can't wait to try this. i always think of Jambalaya as being so unhealthy but it seems pretty doable. Thanks for sharing.

What an awesome trick. I bet this technique would apply for so many things. Thanks for sharing. I do not live alone but am often the only one eating healthy so it's basically the same.

I made my own version of pizza last weekend but instead of pita bread, I used Joseph's Lavash. It's very thin but it's great if you like thin crust pizza because it's super low in calories. One large piece of lavash is 100 calories but it's HUGE so I cut it in half for my pizza. I made one similar to the recipe above with…

I have trained myself to always take the harder road (physically speaking). I work at a University and have to park quite a ways from my building and walk in, up an extremely tall and steep hill. I used to have to rest halfway up. Then I enter my building on the first floor where I work on the fourth. I used to enter the…

My friend and I are dieting together and we try to find substitutions for the high fat foods we love. Hungry-girl.com offers "swaps" for just about every food you could think of. This wasn't her recipe but we recently made turkey burgers (you could use lean beef ir you prefer) on the grill and they were delicious. We use…

Looks yummy! What is it?

It takes a 15 oz. can

I make these all the time but I don't add water. They come out to be the consistency of a brownie. My favorite is Devils Food Cake Mix but I've also tried German Chocolate and Spice Cake. You use a 15 oz can of pumpkin. They are on the hungry girl website. They are 185 calories a piece and SOOO worth it. Just a tip, I…

I am a junk food-a-holic so my biggest obstacle when dieting tends to me filling that craving. Of course, they shouldn't be eaten on a daily basis but here are some of the items that do that for me. Skinny Cow- my faves are Mint and Vanilla 140 Cal Hungry-Girl.com Yum Yum Brownie Muffins 185 Cal Orville Redenbacher's 100…

I don't have any experience with Zumba videos exactly because I go to a local studio for my zumba classes but I just had to say that it's AMAZING! I usually do it twice a week, for an hour each time. One Saturday i wore my friend's calorie counting watch and it showed that I burned 1000 calories! And it is hard work but…

I struggle with the "I didn't burn enough calories" panic as well. Up until this point, that's been such a major representation of how disciplined I was for the day. I have even contemplated buying a calorie counting watch to wear to see how many I'm burning at various times of the day but I finally decided that I need to…

I will take any advice and guidance that you are willing to offer. I know there are certain "power foods" that will help me build muscle. So far, I've steered clear of the weights at the gym and focused on the cardio machines. It's been years since I've used weights or any strength machines so I feel out of my comfort…

Bump

This is the main problem I'm having. When my parents come to visit, I like to take them to a unique local restaurant instead of a chain. But I thiink until I meet my goal weight, I will stick with those restaurants that I can research and find nutritional information for. Then, onces I'm just maintaining, i can branch out…

I also take zumba. That would be great motivational music. Could you send me a list of your songs?

I like a good mix. I think different songs work for me on different days so I ALWAYS try to keep a lot of variety. Some of the artists on my playlist include: Beyonce Blackstreet Breaking Benjamin Britney Spears Carrie Underwood Cobra Starship Drake Evanescence Gloriana Jason Aldean Kesha Katie Perry Lady Gaga Linkin Park…
