  • I love to brew my own unsweetened iced tea and drink it with a wedge of lemon. I have always been a total soda freak, but over the last year, this has allowed me to stay away from soda (except for the occasional one on the weekend and/ or with my captain and coke). I really try not to drink soda or high calorie drinks…

  • Turkey hoagies, fruit, unsweetened iced tea & coffee, fat free pretzles (in moderation b/c of carbs), Baked! Lays... lots more, just need to be selective and read the lbaels. You can also go on their website to get detailed nutirional info on their made-to-order stuff (sandwiches, soups, etc.)

  • You definitely need to read the labels carefully... there is way too much junk in prepared foods! I eat the Dannon Light & Fit Fat Free Yogurts... get the vanilla and add your own fruit. A 6oz serving only has 15g of carbs and, of course, is fat free. It tastes great and is really good for you. They also have a 'carb &…

Also, opt for the white rice (instead of fried rice) and really watch your portion sizes because Chinese places always give WAY more than you need. Kind of a bummer because it takes away a lot of the…

  • I tend to weigh myself every Monday through Friday. However, I have to admit that I am one to be totally focused during the week, but let up a bit during the weekend... I love food and the occasional cocktail! So, it is interesting to me to see where I have gotten throughout the week and then again to see the damage I've…

  • I love the GNC Pro Performance 100% Pure Whey protein powder. The vanilla is good, the chocolate is even better and the cookies and cream is awesome. I like to mix them with a small glass of fat free milk (usually use 4 ounces per scoop to keep the total calories down). On top of that, when you go on Gold Card week, the…
