hello sister of the night!! lol :wink: i work 12hr shifts........are you on 8's, 10's or 12's? meals are the same as someone on a "normal" schedule.... when you wake up eat your "breakfast".....2 other small meals and a couple of snacks throughout the nite. exercise........when you get off in the morning.....get a workout…

are you eating enough during the day to keep you satisfied? a former cheater (many many times) finally came to the realization that who am I really hurting and cheating on??? MYSELF! then it starts a vicious cycle of low self esteem due to no discipline and the "i've already blown it, i might as well eat this too" mode.…

first thing in the morning after waking and "relieving" yourself

Think Thin bars.......brownie crunch is my fav!! 230 cals (yah i know...but as a meal replacement) 8 g fat 0 sugars 20 g protein and gluten free

salsa and anything! :tongue: what are your cravings? sweet? salty? what do you usually have for a snack at home? for dessert, core an apple, place into foil, put a few red hots candies in the middle, wrap the foil around and place on the fire......... baked cinnamon apple!!!

at a loss one nite for what to do with ground beef...dug thru the pantry and came up with Fiesta Casserole Whole Wheat pasta (the kids like the bow ties) 4% ground beef 1 can low sodium diced mexican style tomatoes with chilies 1 small can diced ortega chilies 2 small cans salsa verde 1 small can salsa casera 1 can no salt…

I have 2 Sansa's...one the old e140........still works, but wanted more storage, and a 4gb. very inexpensive. also got a 2gb at kmart (do u have one where u live?) for about $20. check ebay.......also the pawn shop is a great idea! happy exercising!!:flowerforyou:

My niece's middle name is Leilani, she comes from Hawaiian decent (mom's side) and full blown American redneck (dad's side). :wink:

bump :)

Bump (great ideas!!)

I noticed that today too.........I'm working up a sweat..........how come I don't get any freebie calories????

I also find my treadmill BORING I live in the high desert in So Cal....so it's HOT, but not humid like you get. I walk in the evening once the sun starts to go down. I also like to go to the community pool and swim laps. My doctor said strength training is a must with the cardio now that I'm past the hill!! Do whatever you…

HCG either by prescription or homeopathic OTC drops or injections the catch......you only are allowed 500 calories a day!!!!

I love Spring and the produce it brings!! Asparagus and strawberries (not together tho!! lol) I just drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with Spike or Mrs Dash and throw it on the grill or in the broiler....... now just waiting for artichokes to arrive!!

Why limiting yourself to salad? craving? what about no lettuce salad? spinach? or just chicken and veggies mixed together. Or what about soup?

I"m doing Tosca's Eat Clean Diet.........pretty much the common sense for the rest of your life diet!! You have to pick a food plan that's going to last and not make you feel deprived. Whole grains, fruits, veggies, lean protein. yep, pretty much common sense! Good luck in your journey! Pam

bump, i've used spark people in the past. will ck out the other site....Happy Cooking!

bump, i'm not an egg eater, but this sounds easy. heck, you add enough veggies and salsa and anything's good!! lol 8-)

bump.......these sound great! thanks!

I'm not a fan of "breakfast" foods either........found a few new choices in the hungry girl books, breakfast bars w/ oatmeal and dried fruit, a wrap using la tortilla whole wheat tortillas, laughing cow low fat cheese, sauteed spinach and mushrooms. both are pretty good. in a pinch, I toast 1/2 whole wheat bagel, add some…

Yeegads....have caught the cold going around......feel like crap! :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: :drinker: so far today...yesterday not enough to even count i'm afraid........ Pam:flowerforyou:

From Wikipedia: As a dietary supplement, guarana is an effective energy booster: it contains about twice the caffeine found in coffee beans (about 2–4.5% caffeine in guarana seeds compared to 1–2% for coffee beans).[1] Just a heads up for those considering any weight loss supplement and have a problem with caffeine.…
