  • I love the 10 minute carb solution, think someone else said that too. There are 5 10 minute workouts and none are too hard (on the joints) after you get used to them, and they are easily modified for knee issues. I have hip and knee issues so can not do full lunges or full jumping jacks so I always modify. At first I could…

  • I love Trader Joe's! The frozen veggies and frozen brown rice are great to have on hand, and some of the frozen prepared meals are not too high in calories per serving. Also, I love their nuts, dark chocolate and Rosemary Raisin crisps - they sound weird, but if you like rosemary give them a try. For nearly anything…

  • I think I kind of understand what you are saying about looking flabbier. I was wondering if that was happening to me in the beginning, but just thought I was imagining it. I can tell you 2 weeks is not enough time to tell if a diet is working. I have just a little to lose and my tummy was super flabby to start. I've been…

  • I have had the cilantro lime shrimp, it's delicious! I also bake shrimp (if they're already cooked and thawed, just for 5 min to warm) with garlic, lemon and a tiny bit of olive oil. Kind of like a scampi. Or you could just grill 'em and eat them with anything!

  • I love the question and all the comments! I have to eat something every night at 930 with a medication I take whether i am hungry or not, so I have to save about 100 calories, which is so hard on 1200! I usually go for a nutrigrain lowfat waffle (70 cals, but watch the carbs! I have to save room for those too) and the…
    in 9pm and you have 90 cals left. What do you eat? Comment by mmarie111 February 2012
  • I also switched from Weight Watchers because maintaining wasn't working. I was meeting my points, but gaining back slowly. Protein being over is not necessarily bad, but if it's over by a lot I would cut back. Most people don't need as much as they think they do (disclaimer (-: I eat vegetarian most days, chicken or fish 2…

  • Congrats Jim! I am coming up on my one year anniversary of my 2nd kidney transplant! With my first one I gained a lot of weight. The prednisone really does make it nearly impossible to lose anything. I am not overweight now, but have to watch my calories like a hawk in order to keep from gaining. My Dr says the same thing…
