I personally take a shrimp tray with me, as well as the veggie tray with lots of different flavors of hummus. Also, a fruit platter, with fat free vanilla yogurt for "dipping", and maybe even some lowfat granola to make a parfait.

I was feeling exactly like you last week, so I know how you feel.... I went and complained to my trainer at the gym and it took her words of wisdom and encouragement to get me out of my rut. One of my complaints to her was that I have only lost 28 pounds since the beginning of September, and she looked at me like I was…

Here is an example of my daily menu. I am eating 1200 calories per day as well and I actually find that I am usually anywhere from 50-100 calories less than that! I am NOT hungry on this plan, at all, and most of my days are very similar with the exception of dinner each night. Breakfast (6am) Coffeemate - Sugar Free…

How about several different flavors of hummus and a veggie tray?

Your parents tell you that you are getting so much smaller that they will be picking you up and swinging you around in the air like they do with the grandkids soon.... You can throw out the big granny undergarments and buy much smaller ones... When you can run at least a mile without stopping on the treadmill... When the…

Wow! You look like an entirely different person! Great job!!!

Congrats! I know exactly how you feel. I had the same thing happen to me just yesterday and it's the best feeling in the world!

I am 36, have almost 9 year old twin girls, and have about 35 more pounds to lose to reach my goal weight. Feel free to add me!

I personally love the Dannon Lite & Fit Carb and Sugar Control -Diabetic Friendly yogurt. 45 calories, 3 carbs, 5 protein per serving. The vanilla is my favorite flavor.

Measuring cups that are actually ladles,- they come in 1/4 cup servings, 1/2 cup, 3/4 cup, and of course 1 cup servings. I use them CONSTANTLY, especially when serving meals so I can measure out my portions and nobody else knows that I am doing so because they look just like regular serving spoons. Couldn't live without…

In bed usually around 10:00-11:00 every night (depending on it if it is a good tv night or not...) and up at 5:00AM everyday. I would say I usually average about 6 to 6 1/2 hrs per night and I know its not enough. I have been trying to make a conscious effort to get into bed by at least 9:00 but it doesn't seem to be…

Welcome and good luck! I am also going on a cruise in March of 2011 as well and had the same goal of losing about 50 pounds by then! i am halfway there..... Good luck!

chili!!!

I use Pure Protein- 100% whey protein from Walmart. I like the chocolate and especially the vanilla creme. Its about 24 grams of protein, minimal fat and carbs and tastes great!

Arnold's Sandwich Thin 3 oz Turkey breast Reduced sugar/carbs vanilla yogurt

What a great feeling, isn't it? I have lost 25 pounds and I am finally shopping for smaller sizes....It's funny how I still automatically go towards the larger sizes all of the way in the back of the rack out of habit. Yesterday I was trying on pants and the size 16 was too big, they didn't have them in 14's, so I grabbed…

4 pounds!

bag of frozen chicken breasts or tenderloins 6 red potatoes, cubed 2 small onions 2 cans of 98% fat free cream of mushroom soup. Cook in crock pot on low for 8 hours. This is a simple recipe and made my family of three about 10 meals all together!

Silk Light Almond Milk is amazing.... I will never buy regular milk again strictly because of ther sugar content! I buy Silk Light at Super Target or Walmart. 70 cals per serving and only 6 grams of sugar. I also make my oatmeal with water and try to stay away from packaged/processed foods as much as possible due to the…

You might want to track your sodium intake daily in addition to your calories, fat, carbs, and protein. The prepackaged food contains a lot of sodium which could be contributing to you not seeing a loss. I know when I eat out, almost anywhere, the next day I always see a gain of a pound or two, but I don't panic because I…

I like string cheese. about 70 calories, and extra protein!

I had the same problem...My trainer at the gym told me to temporarily give up the fruit during my initial first few months of weight loss, and that we will add it back in gradually (the naturally occuring sugar). I was on weight watchers for years and ate tons of "zero" and one point fruits, but never really saw much…

I had been on weight watchers off and on for years, and yes I lost some weight but never kept it off...I got sick of counting points and calculating everything, and realized after switching to MFP that I had been eating so much sugar and carbs, and non-nutritional foods on weight watchers, even though I was staying with in…

Grilled chicken fajitas, without the sour cream, cheese, or tortillas!

Ragu Light on one of those Arnold Sandwich thins!!! Even my kids love them!
