Been searching the forums for "lasagna" and here is what I found so far... Here are spinach lasagna rolls that I'm sure I can flatten out as a regular lasagna - about 225 cals. Looks yummy! http://www.skinnytaste.com/2010/02/spinach-lasagna-rolls.html There is also a lasagna cupcake recipe from hungry girl. I'll go ahead…

Whoa!! love Costco and will def be checking those out!! I bought some multi-grain pringles today. 140 calories for 16 chips, 1 g of protein and fiber. Delicious, very easy to count, not to expensive and a few more chips per serving than the norm! Not the best nutrition wise, but I was kind of being rushed. :ohwell: Also…

thanks for all the ideas!! I do eat regular salsa on my eggs and stuff (really as a replacement for ketchup love it!), but the mango salsa is sweet so to me it is kinda yucky to put it on much else besides some kind of carb. This might sound pretty limited to some, but I know my palate. lol. Thanks again!!!

I'm coming out of a time like that. It has got to become real to you again. Something motivated you in the beginning. Remember all those reasons. Look at that picture that made you cringe or made you wish you were them. For me I had to see the scale creep up and my body feel crappy from lack of exercise and eating junk.…

This post is going to be looooong. I’ve not been keeping up like a good girl should. Laurn - Congrats on the weight loss! Keep going! You will absolutely meet that 155! Finn – I hear you girl. Just surfing the internet or reading a magazine can get my head in a twist about that TO do what NOT TO do. I decided in the new…

so awesome! thanks!!

thanks meag, gonks and others who gave me info about keeping veggies fresh! I have a bunch of carrots and potatoes in the house bc i was planning on making some yummy crock pot meals until my husband accidentally broke the insert!!! gasp! I was really planning on basically living off that crock pot for the new year.. super…

thanks meag. i was about to put a number of veggies to eat a day when I realized... i didn't even have any in the house!!! to be honest i don't normally buy a lot of veggies bc they go bad before i can eat then. do you or anyone else have any ideas on how to keep veggies fresh? i go grocery shopping once every 2 weeks, and…

HEY EVERYBODY!! MISSED YOU!! So totally lost control over the holidays and now weigh 168.2 (my last wi was 163.something). Waaah! Its ok though. I was a fun holiday and I'm planning to make good! No more major holidays for a loooong time, so no more of those to face for awhile. My December goals: rai8759 - Go from 167.4 to…

doesn't matter when you start. it just matters that you've begun!! its a life style change so go girl!

so remembered everything EXCEPT my turbo jam dvd!!!!!! :grumble: but my in-laws have P90 and P90 X so might do that in the morning- also have some stuff on demand. Whenever everyone gets up we are opening presents so I'm going to set my alarm to get 8 hours of sleep and if I'm up before mostly everyone I'll either do the…

thanks tj. I appreciate your words of encouragement. We are traveling all day tomorrow, but I am going to bring along my turbo jam dvd and see if I can't get up early Thursday and do it. When my schedule is normal I'm a total morning person. Everyone else at the in-laws' house tends to sleep in so I can get my booty…

:frown: Hey... Guys.. I feel like I won't make my december goal!! I need to loose 1.4 lbs to reach 162. I'm not making excuses when I say I have LITERALLY no time to exercise this week. If I'm not sleeping I've been at work or some actual responsibility or christmas shopping (and I'm not buying everyone a ton of gifts…

Hey Guys! It has been awhile. Glad to be back. Been super busy this week running around like my hair's on fire. Trying to get all my shopping/work/packing/cleaning done before traveling to see family for Christmas. Really not a stellar eating week... or tracking week... pretty much zero working out... A LOT of eating out.…

welcome!! way 2 get started now. there is no better day than today!

thanks for the advice!!!

hi! been reading all of your posts, but not posting until now. I feel like I barely have time to get my food/exercies plotted in here!!! But i'm still making it happen. yay! Lola - Cheat meals: I eat out probably 1-2x a week. Sometimes there is just no food in the house since I've not had time for shopping or planning.…

ditto!! I need a good one 2 and have not even started looking.

TJ - Get it girl! You sound pumped to work off those extra calories! Don't sweat your WI. Stress produces cortisol. "Let it be... let it be!" Even if you don't see a loss you know you're going to work hard in the upcoming week. Let us know how it goes. Finn- !!! GREAT LOSS !!! YOU DA WOMAN! Cap Jim - I'm curious about your…

There is absolutely a difference!!! You look smaller all around. Keep up the good work! Pictures don't lie. Own it girl! You've been doing a great job!

I've been doing my push-ups. Did all three days of week 1 last week and then only 2 days of week 1 this week (I feel like I've said "week" entirely 2 much in that last sentance). Will be moving on to week 2 and aiming for completing all three days. I'm really feeling stronger even though I still have to huff and puff…

Word up! I always hear people saying.. I just need liposuction or I'm going to get this weight loss drug or that one. Don't they know that you can still put fat back on your body after liposuction?? So you'll gain that fat back AND have nasty scars. Weight loss drugs?? Its only a quick fix.. I think people who use them…

thanks girls!!! was just looking up trouble shooting stuff when i saw that. =D

Hey ladies! it has been waaay 2 long. Had work for three nights then dinner with friends Thursday night after I got up. So haven't really been able to keep up with this grrreat thread. Please forgive me. Awhile ago I was asking about dogs. Above is a pic of my pup that goes with me when I run/walk. She is my love!!! Been…

hey girls! haven't had a chance to read through the last couple pages I missed since going to work YESTERDAY. :laugh: it is so great that we've got such an involved group! I mentioned this in passing last month - having terrible right upper quadrant pain. It has persisted since Thanksgiving although it hasn't been that…

I'm so proud of you!!! You have done so great so far. Keep it going! If you feel good now imagine how you'll feel at the 100 lb mark.

I spent basically my whole life at home watching my mom yo-yo diet. Numerous times over the years I've heard my mom say she couldn't keep doing this or that diet or plan because she was just so HUNGRY. I also thought if you just ate when you were hungry you could loose weight since your body only asks for what it needs,…
