  • I have been on here for just over a year now and have lost 55 lbs. I try to stay under by calories allotted but not by too much because your body needs fuel to burn and if you are not providing it then it will break down muscle to get it. I am trying to gain muscle not lose it to hunger. I made an entire lifestyle change.…

  • Powered peanut butter is really good. Does take some getting used to though. 2 tablespoons only has 45 calories! http://www.amazon.com/Powdered-Peanut-Butter-Less-Calories/dp/B008CTBGDG/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1360282639&sr=8-5&keywords=pb2

  • I use a Hungry Girl recipe I found last year. All you do is add 1 can of 100% pumpkin (libby's is the best) and 1 box of brownie mix. Pour evenly into 12 muffin cups and bake as directed on box. Averages about 88 calories per brownie muffin. If you go to hungrygirl.com she has a ton of yummy brownie recipes.

  • I have had the same problem. One thing I do to help keep my body from getting bored and keep the pounds falling off is to change my workout frequently.

  • When I have a craving I make Yum Yum Brownies. All it takes if a 12 cup muffin pan, 1 can of Libbys pumpkin and a devils food cake mix. Whisk cake mix to get out lumps then mix in the pumpkin until its smooth. It will look funky but dont add anything else to it. Spread evenly into 12 muffin cups and cook at 400 degrees for…

  • I was wondering the same thing as I was reading through the posts! Do people read all the posts before they post? If not bet they feel kind of stupid when they realize that almost everyone has corrected them! I think if you are going to respond to a post you better make sure to read the entire post!!

  • I have exactly 100 lbs to lose to get back to my early 20's weight! That is my cool but right now I am taking it one step at a time. My short term goal is to lose 30lbs by Oct 1. I started doing weight watchers last month with my sister but was introduced to this and actually like it a lot better. Not so confusing! On…
