Peter Pan makes a "whipped" PB that is 1/3 less sugar and 150 calories/2 tablespoons (normal PB is 200/tb). It is delicious and slightly better than regular. I swear by it now...

Northern burbs here- near Libertyville.

Hi, I would highlyl recommend this recipe by Our Best Bites: http://www.ourbestbites.com/2008/08/guiltless-alfredo-sauce/ It is really delicious. My husband is obsessed with it and that tells you a lot! It's super easy too. Enjoy!

bump- I love this restaurant and am curious to know the answers!

That is an awesome NSV! I think it is important to recognize the small accomplishments/changes in attitude from your "before" life. I love that you were smart about it and thought about what you could fit into your food goals for the day instead of just indulging and regretting it later. Ice cream & sweets in general are…

Nice job so far! I dropped a whole pant size doing Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred. Just be aware, the video is not the greatest for losing weight, but you will lose inches. It is a 20 minute video you could add onto your workout regimen and you will see awesome results. Good Luck!

bump... I was wondering this too!

Not sure if this is low carb, but Sugar free/Fat free Jello Pudding with a dollop of Fat Free Cool Whip is really great. One cup of pudding is only 140 calories when you make it with fat free skim milk. It's delicious!

Per the Joy Fit Club on the Today Show, dark chocolate is okay to eat when it is at least 72% cocoa. Ghiradelli dark chocolate is 55 calories per square (Serving Size is 4 squares for ~200 calories) which makes an awesome treat at the end of the day. Enjoy!

I log it as circuit training as well.

bump I have been wondering the same thing and would appreciate any feedback.

1- I have learned that I can be happy and still be on diet. I always had such a bad outlook before using MFP. I know I need a little treat at the end of my day in order to be satisfied and as long as I work it into my calories, I am fine. 2- I have learned that I can cook amazing meals for dinner that coincide with my diet…

bump Awesome info!

This is a must try! http://www.ourbestbites.com/2008/08/guiltless-alfredo-sauce/ My husband loves it and says its better than any normal alfredo sauce. Serve it w/ whole grain pasta and broccoli and you have a lovely meal! Another awesome thing about this recipe: it is even better the next day! There is only 1 tb of butter…

I started 30 DS last night. I will definitely be in your group!

Hi, I am starting 30DS this week as soon as I get the video in the mail! Feel free to add me. I am very excited!

I am totally with you! I ordered my 30 DS early last week so I should be getting it really soon. It would be great to check in with other people who can feel my pain :)

I am with ya! I am so tired of having the mindset that I am losing weight to make someone else happy. Then when I fail, I feel like an even bigger LOSER. I am doing this for me and my health.

Everything said above is great advice. To add to that, I would also say to keep reminding yourself why do are losing the weight. For me, its wanting to get healthy and ready my body to get pregnant. It's really great motivation and it keeps me going!

I love that your stories are mirror images of my own! I am fairly new to MFP and am also trying to lose weight to get my body ready to get pregnant. My husband & I have been married for almost 5 years; together for 10 and we want to start trying in the next 6 months. My weight was the highest its ever been at 200 lbs. I…
