I know someone who lived on brown rice with a can of seasoned tomatoes thrown in as it cooked and a salad. He made a big batch on Sunday which lasted him through the week. He lost weight as well.

Skin the thighs if you don't buy skinless. I sprinkle with Morton's Seasoning and brown in olive oil. Remove, place thighs in crock pot. In the same pan you browned chicken in, sauté 1 C of seasoning mix (frozen, chopped celery, onions and bell peppers) and 1 C of sliced mushrooms. Cover with 1 can of reduced fat cream of…

At lunchtime, get a burger w/cheese ditch the bun and put on top of the salad mixture with dressing of your choice or just a little mustard on top of the cheese burger. You…

I'll try this no matter what it is called. I'll brush with a little olive oil and sprinkle with Montreal Seasoning. It sounds similar to oven baked brussel sprouts. Thanks.

1 C dried oatmeal, 2 C water, 2 TBS chopped walnuts, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1 pkg Stevia, 1/2 red delicious apple chopped. I cook all together and divide in two. Eat one and refrig the other for next day. I top this with a 1/4 C of coconut milk. Yummy.

My brother weighed about 300, played golf, tennis and led a pretty active life claiming his doctor said his blood pressure and cholesterol level were good..He died of a heart attack sitting on the edge of his bed one morning when he was in his 60's....I'm 78 and will continue to avoid excess weight and eat healthy for the…

You look totally different...congrats on this achievement ...like the new hair do!

It is not mandatory to post a pic of yourself, before, after, as is, then, now or whatever.... Many on MFP post eyes, leg, cats, dogs, arms, lips, you name it. I do think we want the woohoo factor to see before and after pics but who cares. Weight of is weight off. Congrats on you weight loss.

I will definitely try these....a dollop of low fat sour cream on top...

If you are a careful shopper, you can find really good deals on chicken thighs. Last week, I got a buy one, get one free. I like them boneless, skinless and more flavorful that chicken breasts. Also, I trim all that yellow fat off the thigh. My favorite way to fix them (6) is sprinkle with creole seasoning and brown them…

Are squats better for the butt than lunges?

1 TBS and 3 or 4 apple slices (about 1/2 apple) for a snack.

Jello chocolate no sugar mousse for lunch, cantaloupe tonight.

No, forum is a noun, form can be a verb or noun....I had to chuckle at the rum thing.

I use kale in morning smoothies, salads and soups. This a.m., I used two cups of kale, protein powder, ff milk (1/2C), 1/4 C fresh blue berries and 8 ice cubes in my blender. I always cut the stem part off the kale and tear up in small pieces, wash and store in a zip lock bag. In soups, (veg, barley, potato). The only…

Most mornings, it is a smoothie made from choc flavored Lean1, cup of kale and 1/4 C of blue berries. Blend with 1/2 C of ff milk and 8 ice cubes. Other days oatmeal with a dash of cinnamon, honey, a 1/4 C fresh fruit and a little ff milk or 1 egg omelet with 1 TBS cheddar cheese and a 1/2 C fresh mixed fruit.

I made this yesterday... Placed the salmon fillets on a half slice of smoked bacon and 1/2 lemon slice on top and baked at 375. If any of the fillets have a thin side, tuck this under the fillet. While it is baking take 2 TBS of balsamic vinegar; 1 TBS honey; 1 TBS creole mustard and warm and blend in a small skillet. Add…

It took me a long time before I wanted to try quinoa but I did and I liked it the way I fixed it. First of all it must be rinsed until all the little bubbles subside. I put a half a cup in a large skillet with a little coconut oil. Toast it a little, add 1 cup water, cover and cook for about 15 mins. In another skillet,…

I use either coconut oil or olive oil in all the cooking that requires fat. No other fat except butter which I use sparingly is on my grocery list.
