5'5" Start weight: 212 Current weight: 154 Goal weight: 140ish - I hit 136 a couple years ago and then got pregnant, had a baby....trying to work back to goal!

Tonight will be chili, fritos and a glass of red wine. Yum!

I drink about 20 oz a day, and I add cream and splenda to it. It's usually anywhere from 50-100 cals a day and it has never hindered my weight loss.

This past week I felt like I just wanted to eat eat eat......I get that way usually around the Holidays when there are so many goodies around. I decided this year I am going to track no matter what and just try to maintain through the end of the year. I only have about 10 more pounds to go until I get to goal, so if I can…

I went the other day for lunch and got the soup, salad and breadsticks. I had one bowl of chicken gnocchi soup (very yummy), one breadstick and about 1.5 servings of salad and it set me back almost 600 calories. I thought it was totally worth it. I easily could have had another bowl of soup and breadstick, but I managed to…

Usually around 600-800 for dinner, and then 200-300 for dessert. I'm always more hungry in the evenings, and like to have a glass of wine or beer with dinner. :)

Check out www.skinnytaste.com, there are a TON of delicious recipes on her site and a lot of them are under 400 calories and pretty easy to make. A few I have tried and like are the turkey pumpkin chili, chicken taco chili, lighter eggplant parmesan and lasagna roll ups.

That recipe looks amazing! I have everything for it, I think I might make it today. :) Does the liquid not thicken up at all? I would just enter everything into the recipe builder and track the liquids, but I usually estimate on the high side rather than the low side with recipes. That's just me though.

Drink what you like and have the calories for. I drink skim because I grew up on it and prefer the taste. Drinking whole milk will not make you lose weight any faster or slower than any other kind of milk.

I also thought the pumpkin Quest bars were very disappointing. I was really hoping they would be good!

I just recently started cooking these, I prefer them to boneless skinless breasts, they have a lot more flavor! I just grill them with spices and dip in BBQ sauce afterwards. So yummy!

I make something very similar! I love it!

That sounds delicious!! Thanks for posting, I will definitely try it. :)

I really like the caramel light frappuccino or any of the hot lattes made with skim milk and no whip cream. Cuts the calories/fat significantly!

I like to mix a plain greek yogurt (Fage is my fave brand) with sugar free pudding mix (usually lemon) and then I add frozen blueberries. It's SO yummy!

I like them a lot! Faves are lemon, white chocolate raspberry, cookie dough and coconut cashew.

Feel free to add me! Just got my Fitbit this week and I'm loving it! https://www.fitbit.com/user/3FSJGM

Looks so good! I love cabbage...thanks for posting! :)

Feel free to add me! I'm on everyday and always try to be supportive of my MFpeeps!

Strawberry banana greek yogurt and low sodium ham and swiss roll ups (lunch!)

Yes this happens to me every time I enter a recipe in the app. SOOOO annoying! Please fix this in your next update MFP!

Blue cheese and catfish. YUCK! :sick:

I make this too and LOVE it! Never have added the pinch of salt but that's a really good idea...I will try it next time. I always use Fage plain greek yogurt because I think it's the best. :smile:

My husband is from the U.P. - Escanaba area, his family is still there. We go up to visit atleast 3-4 times a year (we live in Lansing). I LOVE it up there! We will probably move up there eventually. Not sure of any races though...aside from the few that are on Mackinac Island. I think there is one this weekend?

Me too. Sometimes I add PB. Chocolate protein powder, frozen banana, milk (and sometimes PB). Delish!

This sounds super easy and delicious, I am a huge garlic lover! I will be making this recipe very soon. Thanks for sharing.

This cranberry sauce is delicious, and really easy to make: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2010/10/cranberry-pineapple-sauce.html ETA: I don't chop the cranberries first, I just toss them in the pan whole and it works out just fine, and I use canned crushed pineapples in juice (the recipe doesn't specify which type of canned…

I made these tonight and they really are SO GOOD!! I used Body Fortress chocolate protein powder. They seriously taste like no bake cookies. Yum!! Great little snack. :) Thank you so much for the recipe!

I have not tried the above recipe, but I did make this - which is similar: 1/2 box Betty Crocker Supermoist Cherry Chip Cake Mix 6 oz container Yoplait very cherry light yogurt 2 egg whites 1/2 cup water Mix all ingredients together. Line 12 cupcake tins with liners and divide batter between cups. Bake at 350* for about 20…

My favorite oatmeal combo lately is: 1 serving quick oats (around 40 g) small banana, sliced 1 tbsp PB 1/2 tbsp honey I cook the oats in water in the microwave and then add the rest of the ingredients when I take it out of the micro. It's delicious! My easy go to breakfast is an English muffin (loving the Thomas brand…
