I've done the cauliflower in soup before to make a thick, heavy base. My husband even likes it!!!!!.....And he won't eat any veggies. I usually put it in the food processor before boiling in the broth. Can't wait to try the faux mashed potatoes and rice. Great ideas!

I went to Applebee's once, and they told me they did not have nutritional information available, but that it was available online. That doesn't help much when you're already sitting in the restaurant. My theory is if they don't readily have the info available, there is a definite reason that they don't want you to see it.…

Greetings from Wisconsin! I'm 40 and have two young children: 5 & almost 3. I don't remember a day of my life that my weight has not been a concern for me. I have short periods of my life when I remember being thin, but the pounds always came back. Since having children (225# while prego), I have vowed to be physically fit…

I am glad to hear so many of you are staying at home with kids. I don't feel so bad now. I thought about having a glass of wine once the kids are in bed, but I just got back on the wagon today, and I don't feel like dealing with having to enter MORE calories for today. So I'll just be pathetic instead! LOL

Awesome! What section of the store did you find this in? I know my grocery has some stuff over in the pharmacy section for diabetics, but I've never checked in out too closely.

Oh, honey, I am so sad for you. It really must stink to not have anyone supporting your efforts. Remember that you have us, though!!!!!! I would suggest trying to find someone in your life that has the same goals as you--being healthy, getting in shape, losing weight, etc., to be your motivator and your weight loss buddy.…

Don't be surprised if they have you up and walking the evening of the surgery. They don't give you much time to rest anymore. I'm going to be having surgery soon as well. According to my doc, it sounds as if walking is okay--if it's not too strenuous--but any lifting is definitely out for six weeks. Don't cheat on the…

Count me in! :drinker:

I think chicken is a lot more complicated to cook than most people think. For me, the trick is not to overcook and end up with dry chicken. If I keep the moisture, then it tastes so savory, but if I cook too fast or too long, I may as well be eating cardboard. Keep experimenting and cook it slow.

Eat Dinner! Just try to be healthy. Veggies and fruits are ALWAYS good choices. So are proteins, as long as they're prepared well (avoid frying and breading). They fill you up too. Scramble a few eggs with some non-stick spray and you've only consumed about 200 calories, but it is very filling. If you are unsure how to…

Gum, jello or a ton of watermelon. Better yet? Get away from any food, it may pass (delayed reaction to eating). Oh, another one. I can't get over how satisfiying those Yoplait Light cups are. They're pretty yummy too.

Hi, I just found you folks. I'm in if it's not too late. Age: 39 Starting weight: 146 Current weight: 146 Goal weight: 125 Days/minutes of exercise: 1 hour treadmill on incline

Thanks for all the great ideas. I know what I'm making tomorrow!

Good job! It's hard to set a tough goal. After having kids, I thought I would never take off the weight. I too said I would never let myself get so overweight. I topped out at 220 at the end of both pregnancies, and contrary to what some people say, it doesn't just "come off" for many of us. Exercise helped with a lot of…
