Today was 2 egg whites with one whole egg, 1 cup of raspberries and a large cup of coffee

Haven't updated the picture in a while. 30 lbs lost at that point and didn't think there was a difference so my friend told me to do a side by side picture. Then I could see it. Long way to go but down 40lbs at this point. Christmas was a struggle but I'm back on track.

I love roasting broccoli with a little oil, salt, pepper and greek spice and when it comes out I put a little parm on it. I also like doing asparagus roasted with just salt and pepper. Depending where you live if you can BBQ year round get your self a BBQ basket and do similar to the broccoli with a little oil and some…

Tonight we had oven roasted broccoli. 1 pound broccoli, rinsed and trimmed 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan Directions Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Cut the broccoli florets into bite size pieces. Place the…

adding to my topics. I hope to see more recipes I'd love to try something new

Id say a regular meal at a restaurant (not fast food) to me I would not think twice if it was in the $12 to$18 range. I would consider above my normal comfort zone in the $25 to $30 range and expensive for me is above $30. I do how ever not consider ordering a $10 appetizer for hubby and I and each ordering $18 meals to be…

I am the opposite. I find it totally motivating! I know they lose a lot but are watched 24 hours a day by doctors and trainers. I see the changes they achieve and it makes me want to try. I know I will not see the same results but it shows me what I can do over a longer period of time :happy:

I am proud of my self for logging my food today. I did great and had lost 40 lbs last year and have since gained 19 lbs back :sad: I have been procrastinating stepping on the scale but I did yesterday and today I logged my food and am making a step in the right direction! YAY me!

your weight can fluctuate 4 or 5 lbs a day doing nothing. try not to weigh your self every day or you are going to drive your self crazy. I try to do once a week or once every two weeks

Do your self a favor and get a meat thermometer. A big mistake people make its way over cooking their meat. You will find you have much better results this way. My standard go to chicken for wraps and salads is just salt, peppers and a generous amount of garlic powder.

bump to try

I find the opposite. I am eating more fruits and veggies and things move more smoothly lol

on salad. Romaine, cucumber, onion, celery, shredded carrot, some shredded cheese, tuna and my fav low cal dressing

Trying doing your weigh in on Mondays. Then you may be more motivated to stay on track. I find it helps if I have healthy meals planned a head and snacks divided up into servings. Good luck.

Ingredients: 1/2 c. pumpkin puree 1/4 c. egg whites (from an egg or carton) Sweetener Cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice Directions: Mix together all the ingredients. If you prefer a flan-like texture, add more pumpkin; if you prefer a cake-like texture, add more egg whites. Microwave for two minutes. Use a mix of Greek yogurt,…

This turned out MUCH better. It has a consistancy of a regular pumpkin pie and with some light nutra whip its GREAT!!!!

So I tried it once last night with 1 tbsp packed brown sugar and 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice. I didnt like the texture and it was a little bland. Today I made (its cooling now) with 1.5 tbsp packed brown sugar, 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice, 1 tbsp 1% milk and I blended and it in my chopper. First with out the egg whites for a…

Np prob for recipe. I figure this way I am still enjoying a favorite but with out the extra fat and calories from the egg yoke and then pie crust. I never thought of using maple syrup. I try to stay clear of sweeteners as much as possible. Thanks so much. I think I will try it tomorrow before the weekend to see if I need…

Jenjoe how long does it take the zucchini to cook? I would like to try this. I am also going to bake spaghetti squash and try it with my spaghetti sauce I make with jennie o 93% lean ground turkey

Dont beat your self up. We all have those days. Tomorrow just get right back on track and keep your chin up. {HUGS}

I got back on track! I have not been tracking my food since the beginning of July as with summer so busy and so many bbq's and birthdays I found it so hard. I got my self back on track 5 or 6 days ago!!! I am very happy to be back to it again :happy:

It is very hard to do but you have made a step in the right direction. I did really well for 5 months and then summer hit and everything went out the window. Now I am day 4 of being back on track and its taking a lot to not go back to old ways. The stop eating on your own takes a while but once you train you self to do it…
