Egg Salad - chopped hardboiled eggs, light mayo (or could use fat free, plain greek yogurt), chopped white onion and chopped celery. Adjust amounts of everything to your liking and season with salt and pepper. High protein, low fat.

I am 5'1ish and currently 136lbs. I am comfortable around 126 which is the lowest weight I have been in the last 9 years. Goal is 115-120. Feel free to add me. I share my food diary and aim for 1,200-1,500 calories per day.

Awesome! Way to go!

I just made this on Saturday! It's excellent. I cooked on low for 6 hours and the meat just fell apart. Serve in whole wheat pitas or on low cal rolls. Yum!

Try any of the "Hungry Girl" books. They don't have a ton of pictures but the recipes are super quick, easy and very tasty!

Congrats on taking the first (and sometimes hardest) step! I found that if I logged my food for the day in advance (say the night before) it kept me on track. No one wants to feel the guilt of having to change the log and add more calories! Drink lots of water - you'd be surprised how easy it can become to replace diet…

I was using the Wii Fit as well and loved the workout I got from "Hula Hooping" but hated that I couldn't get burned calories! I actually prefer the Jillian Michaels Wii game. The workout is continuous for the time you choose (versus the stop and start of the Wii Fit activities). Keeps the heart rate up which is exactly…

The Bisquick Cheeseburger Pie is great. Easy, quick and filling. My husband usually doesn't feel satisfied eating the "diet" foods I cook and often will eat 2 portions of something because the calorie count is low and he can get away with it. When I made the Cheeseburger Pie he loved it and was full from one serving. He…

Protein is what builds lean muscle mass so if you are exercising as well as watching what you eat, going over on your protein is actually a good thing (in moderation).

If you have a Wii, I recommend the Jillian Michaels "game". It's a killer workout but not impossible to do. Very motivating and no doubt you can feel it working your muscles. Keeps a nice pace no matter how long of a workout and what skill level you choose. It also has a tracking system for your progress and weight.

Try Fiber One Chewy Bars. They come in awesome flavors (I had a chocolate mocha one today - yum!). They taste much more decadent than they are and can be a great snack or even a substitute for dessert! Plus they provide about 30% of your daily fiber intake which is key to weight loss.
