Costco sells individually wrapped fish piece (mahi mahi, talapia, salmon, etc). They defrost quickly, you can saute, grill, broil, whatever them with basic seasoning and a steamed veggie. It cooks up really quick for weeknight dinners. Any vegetable roasted, I have broccoli in the oven right now. Roast things at 350 for…

HA! This is so funny to me. I have a popsicle, or if I am feeling CRAZY i will have a frozen eggo waffle (still frozen) with cool whip frosting on top. Still not the same, but sweet and cold and chewy.

Are you serious? Half it.

Weight gain and birth control can absolutely go hand in hand. I personally have the Mirena and have for about a year and love it. After trying SO many different things on the market this is something that is working for me now. Side affects from birth control come in all sorts of ways, one pill I tried left me with…

2 slices of turkey bacon, and 6 tablespoons off egg whites, hot sauce on top. 110 calories, lots of protein and keeps me full until lunch time.

We are getting married outside, so after Christmas I went to buy white lights on MAJOR clearance, instead of having 2 bridal showers one is a craft shower to make stuff for the wedding and buying wine and beer from Costco. Costco weddings! Look it up, 20% of weddingpaperdivas.com, they even have dresses (not my style, but…

I am going dress shopping on Jan 19 for a August 17 wedding. I am pushing it, I know already! I wanted to put it off until i was at my goal weight, I am about 10 lbs from that, so I am going to do it anyways. I can take it in after it gets here.

There is a 2013 brides group on here, come join us :)

We eats lots of squash, sweet potato/yam this time of years. It just a cozy food. My fiance LOVES delicata squash because you roast it in the oven and then can eat it whole, with the skin on! It is really fun and different. I eat a spinach salad most days with whatever protein I have left over from the night before. I…

I also used to not eat fish, any at all, ever. It grossed me out. Slowly after 23+ years of being fish free I will eat any of it now. And I love it. I need it prepared well (love it bbq'd, in curry, raw) and I can't get enough! Oysters for lunch, clams and salmon for dinner! Yum! I live in Seattle though where it is…

I used to eat oatmeal at work because it was more important to me to to get into the office earlier, now eating a good breakfast is more important. I usually eat 2 slices of turkey bacon, 3 scrambled egg whites and 1/2 2x protein greek yogurt. All the protein keeps me full and helps me snack less throughout the whole day.…

I haven't ordered, or even tried on dresses yet. But I love this http://www.missesdressy.com/organza-dress-allure-bridals-p-23482.html and want something similar. My sister made a comment to me about finding a dress 'for my body' which really hurt and I decided I want my body to be able to wear any dress I want! I…

LOL

I am getting married in August and going dress shopping in Feb. It will be tough to stay on track through the holidays, but I look at my engagement ring and it motivates me. I want to get to 160 by Feb, I am currently 177, so I need to stay on track! We can do it!

I do protein shakes pretty frequently. My current favorite is with canned pumpkin, greek yogurt, ice, pumpkin pie spice, protein powder, almond milk, some water if it is too thick. Measure it up, log it in, enjoy a tasty treat, it is almost like a pumpkin milkshake.

Marriage is about compromise, but people want to eat at weddings. Period. If a wedding has crappy food everyone remembers! We are trying to get it under $30 per person. Just tell him you are feeding people and that is how it is. BBQ is not food for a lady in a white dress.

I am wearing a size 10 pants that are loose in the light and hips. Wow.

I am just having my sister, his sister, and my best friend. The maids will be wearing http://www.henkaa.com/ dresses which can be tied about 29540 different ways so everyone can be happy and comfortable. I think they will be wearing navy, but I haven't decided yet. Also I want one of those dresses too, they are so cool!

My november mini goal is to get to 170 on the scale. I want to be at 155 by February when I go dress shopping (EEK THAT IS SOON!!) but I need to stay on track. I didn't count calories on a 3 weeks family vacation for most of October and lost 3lbs, so my eating habits are sticking, but I need to amp up exercise and keep…

I am back at work after a 3 week vacation, and all my coworkers are commenting on how great i look. I am down almost 15 pounds and feel wonderful :)

Lady Gaga, 3oh!3, Mammia Mia (Abba), basically anything with a quick beat. I love country but it doesn't do the trick.

I drink green smoothies, here is my approximate recipe: 2 cups chopped kale 1 cup spinach or chard 1/2 cup almond milk 1/2 cup (sometimes more) water few pieces of frozen mango (easier to store and doesn't go bad) small piece of fresh fruit if desired (i dont mind it tasting like veggies so i try to not add much fruit, but…

I was into paleo and have since gone back to 'everything in moderation' (giving up dairy killed me) but I when I was following strict I would bake using coconut flour, make spinach/beef muffins, have smoked salmon or beef jerkey. It is hard but can be really beneficial. Good luck.…

That is a HUGE success! Keep at it, I am proud of you for working hard to be healthy physically and mentally.

All the time, we also try to have a 15 second 'passionate' kiss every day. I read online it is supposed to help people stay connected. Who doesn't have 15 seconds? Everyone has 15 seconds! Give your SO some extra affection.

I wonder if anyone else feels the same way I do... when I am working out and getting tired or really wanting to eat a snack that is unhealthy/would put me over my calorie budget I look at my engagement ring and it is like a really nice, but harsh kick in the butt to remind me what I am working towards. It is easy to be…

Hello Brides! I am Kerri and my wedding date is August 17, 2013. My fiance and I are both trying to lose weight and excercise more. So far I have lost around 5 lbs and that really motivated me. I want to buy a dress in March and be down about 30 lbs by then. Seems scary but losing the first 5 was easy enough. I want a low…

You are such an inspiration! My journey is just starting (day 10) but I am getting married next august and want to be on the outside how I am on the inside. I hope my body is as rocking as yours!! :happy:

Everyone looks fantastic! What inspiration! I am 5'6 and weigh 194, my goal is to be 165 by March 1 so I can pick out any style of wedding dress for a late August wedding. What an inspirational group of women! Feel free to add me :)

Oatmeal grew on me. I used to put PB&J in it, then just a little jam, now I eat it plain or with raisins. Keeps me full and is quick and easy (I eat it when I get to the office). Also for my job I do field work and I ALWAYS eat oatmeal when out all day working, keeps me full and not rumbling stomach at 10am. The problem…
