I've liked all the flavors I've tried from the Maple Grove Farms brand. Low calorie without using the chemicals found in most low cal foods.

I'm going to try this on the treadmill next week. Thanks!

Thanks! That's even a little cheaper than Amazon, still with free shipping. I considered the Fitbit, but it's not for me. It's not important to me how many steps I take each day or how I sleep at night.

Thanks for asking this! I was just getting ready to post a similar question. Can anyone tell me if either have a stopwatch/lap time function? It doesn't say so in any of the descriptions I've found online. I'm interested in calories burned, but also knowing my pace when running. Thanks!

After having the real stuff, I can't go back to the fake. Totally worth the money!!

We melt Polaner All Fruit with Fiber jelly and use that. Only 30 cal per TBSP and no chemicals.

This is my husband, and he knows I'll see whatever he posts! :) I still cook all our favorites, just in healthier ways. Ground turkey breast, instead of hamburger; brown rice, whole grain fiber-added pasta, etc. No foods are off-limits in our house or on some kind of "bad" list. We even still have stuff like pancakes,…

I've never heard of a cycling class. "Cycling" typically refers to riding an actual bike on the road, and "spinning" is the class. I LOVE both. But I use them for different things. Cycling relaxes me and gets me out into nature where I can hear the wind and the birds, while giving me a great workout. Spinning works my…

Another thing - not all Greek yogurt is created equal. You have to read the labels. Just like all other food, some of them are just as crappy for you as junk food. They just hide it behind the "Greek" label.

I mix a 1/2c. of Chobani vanilla yogurt every morning with my cereal, instead of milk. It's delicious, fills me up, keeps me fueled after my workout, and it has ZERO chemicals. The lack of chemicals is the most important aspect for me. I like to know and understand what is in the food I'm eating.

5 to 6 days a week. Spin class 4 days/wk and yoga/body flow 1-2 days/wk, plus I run about 1-2 miles before each class. Then on the weekends, I usually run 3.5 miles on Saturday or Sunday. I stay home with my kids and going to the gym is the 1 hour I get to myself each day. It's mandatory for my sanity and my family's…

The best one for me is by Moving Comfort, the Fiona model. When I was a 34D, I was able to run miles and miles with no bounce, no pain at all. They're awesome! It's the only brand I'll wear now for serious exercising. And I just found out that if you order directly from the company they'll take returns for 30 days, no…

Would you share your recipe, please? I'd love to try to make something like this. Thanks!

It definitely gets easier! Are there any nature and/or hiking trails near you? When I first started getting more active, I got bored pretty quick with the same old scenery. Trying out new places, especially with my family, made it a lot more fun and effective.

I don't. I figure those kinds of things are just a part of life. I'd be doing them anyway, whether I was trying to be more fit or not.

bump!

This is exactly what I do. I'm cooking for my husband and my two young daughters (ages 6 and 4). We all eat the same dinners every night, just healthier meals than before. My husband and I are trying to lead by example for the kids, and do it on a single income. It works for us.

3 Tbls chopped pecans 1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice, divided in half 1/4 tsp dark brown sugar 20 oz total (about 1 1/2 med.) sweet potatoes, peeled, cut crosswise into 3/4-inch pieces, and quartered 2 tsp olive oil and 1 tsp olive oil, divided use 1/8 tsp salt 2 tsp finely chopped shallots (we skip this) - Preheat oven to…

Thank you!

I was actually just talking about this with my husband. I did WW about 8 yrs ago and it worked awesome for me. I lost all the weight I needed to and kept it off until I had my babies. Then, I went back to it and lost the weight again and have kept it off. Even though I can keep up with the points in my head fairly…

Thank you, thank you, thank you! My new favorite dessert! I doubled the recipe and it fit perfectly in my tupperware popsicle set. Now I finally have an excuse to use the thing. :)

Guinness is the only choice for me. Not only is it lower in calories than most other beer, but it also has a bit of nutrition. It doesn't hurt that I've loved it far longer than I've cared about those sorts of things. :)

Yay Nutella!!! My whole family will love these.

From the title, I expected to see the recipe full of "low-fat," chemical-filled ingredients. These look so good!! I'll try making them with 2 egg whites and regular cream cheese, though.

What about Viactiv calcium chocolate chews? Take one at night and get your calcium and chocolate fix. :)
