I use the skinless breast from a Rottissiere chicken, chopped with 2 Tbs of fat free light mayo, chopped walnuts and chappoed granny smith apples. When I use the fat free light mayo, which can be a little bland, I add about 2 tsp of lemon juice and approximately 1 tsp of splenda. I line half of a Joseph's Oat, Flax & Wheat…

Welcome to MFP! This is an awesome site and lots of support and advice on here. Just set your mind that this is a lifestyle change and not a diet....seems to help me anyway.

I know that for myself and my daughter who I am doing this with, the biggest inspiration for us is by looking at this as a lifestyle change and not a diet.

This is kinda off the subject but reminded me of an email I received the other day and thought I would pass it on... From Snopes: I recently made a batch of pancakes for my healthy 14-year-old son, using a mix that was in our pantry. He said that they tasted 'funny,' but ate them anyway. About 10 minutes later, he began…

I am in Fort Smith, Arkansas which sits on the Arkansas/Oklahoma state line. Bracing for a storm which can produce quite a few tornados this time of year. It is currently 69 degrees and humid. The temp is expected to drop into the low 40's by this evening. I will be glad when spring is finally here and we can open the pool!

I started the Copaxone injections but opted out of the torture of the daily injections after the first month. What type of treatment are you on? I am having a…

Forgot to mention... :noway: I have saved my homemade breakfast burrito on the foods list and it is under "SHAYS Breakfast Burritto w/ham" The ham only adds about 35 calories but the sodium is 360 for just 1/8 cup. The tortilla that I use is Josephs Flax, oat bran & whole wheat flour. Josephs is the best brand I have been…

A great stand by @ my house, having three kiddos to get ready for school myself is breakfast burrittos. I scramble a few eggs, toss in a very small amount of shredded sharp cheddar cheese & mushrooms, bell peppers and a small amount of prechopped ham cubes. I make this up the night before or on the weekend and then measure…

Are you keeping up with your measurements? You have to remember that when you develop muscle that it weighs more than fat so the scales can be deceiving! :mad: If your clothes are fitting looser and your measurements are going down you know that you are still on the right track. Dont forget that muscle is what burns fat so…
