Chop sweet potato, sprinkle with olive oil, then roast in oven at 350 degrees for approximately 30 minutes. Saute onions and peppers. Prepare Quinoa following package directions. Mix vegetables together, add in 1/4 cup chicken stock. I mix cranberries, chopped walnuts (roasted), celery for a great salad.

Hello! I'm just getting back on track. Former gastric bypass (10yrs+), gained 50 lbs back recently. Blamming menopause. Getting my head back in the game. Gave up my wine in October. Not missing it now. I too have a stressful job, but learning to leave it at work. Reading Al Roker's new book to see how he lost the lbs he…

Add some walking....it keeps your heart rate at the appropriate level for your fitness level. You'd be surpised at how much it will help.

I would buy the set because you will quickly move up and it doesn't make sense to start at 5 pounds only, then have to worry about purchasing the next weght up. Just saying...

Not African American, but my friends at work tease me because I've got the junk in the trunk and they think there is some family history about which I have no clue!. But boy can I dance!

I'm 5 1/4 inch and have a really great big butt!!!!

Cool beans!

Sounds yummy.

I eat jerky. Checking out recepies to make my own. Anybody want to share?

By the way - love the photo! I laugh every time I see it.

My theory about weekend binging is our tendency (and need) to turn off our brains over the weekends. In general all of us work so hard all week long and have so much depending upon what we do or what we accomplish that on the weekends we need time to turn off and relax, and in so doing let our defences down. Unfortunately,…

Sounds great. I too am new to this Paleo way of eating. I am an older woman and in that stage of life where losing weight is nearly impossible. I am currently at about 80/20. Dairy not a problem, grains I don't miss, except went out for dinner last night and ate whole wheat bread. I will plan better next time out. I…

Read my blog.... do you want the cupcake and desire to die in 20 years????? If so, that is your future!!!!!!

OMG [ and I am over 55 and still this is an OMG moment!!!!!!!) Take her child now and give her to me....this woman is insane.

You are soooooo righteous girl!!!!!!

I'm impressed that you didn't just wack him up side the head with a Lean Cuise! Maybe he was trying to impress you with his maxiumus gluts.

Today my craving was for marshmellow covered chocolate Easter Bunnies!!!!

Honey - we need to teach you what real food is about!!!!

Because that is the way this system is set up. It doesn't say - Hey, great you consumed the number of calories you were supposed to today so in maybe five or six weeks your weight loss will show your dedication!!!!!!

Has anyone tried intermittent cutting off of major limb?

I love rock-n-roll by Joan Jett

How great is it that you've discovered at your young age what it has taken some of us almost a lilfetime? You are an inspiration!

Sounds great. I do this and add Grape Nuts (a coule of teaspoons.)

My goal as I get older, and hopefully wiser, is to always keep an open mind. Vitamin D is huge on the medical scene these days. Evidently we (we being me and the entire human race in my pocket) have been Vit D deficient and scientists are just discovering just how important the extra Vitamin D can be to our well being. New…

Medical envy...:laugh:

Dr. Oz has practiced cardiac medicine longer than you have been alive! Nearing the end of his surgical career, my guess is he chose to go in a direction that would offer the best benefit, using his medical knowledge and experience, and expressing it in a common language to reach as many people as possible. Now if think…

Doritos. I hate the smell of them! I want to puke every time I see the package! It doesn't matter what the flavor may be...ranch (yukko!!!). If I had to choose between being fat or eating Doritos, I would choose being fat!

Coming from someone who's been around a few years, this is a young woman's issue. You know you've reached adulthood when situations like this only give you pause for thought and then make you laugh.

i'm 5.0" and 188 and 55 yo so reading your information gives me great motivation. I'm focusing on my first 20 lb loss first...then eventual goal of 125 by end of the year. Using the Dr. Fuhrman "Eat to Live" eating style. Mostly vegetarian.
