yogurt, string cheese, fresh veggies w/hummus, popcorn, fruit lately i have been freezing fat free yogurt and eating it as a cool summer treat!

:flowerforyou:

when i started here, i was on 1400 cals, and i lost 11 pounds in 3 weeks. yay! since then, about a month, i havent lost anymore. I went into my settings and realized that i was not being honest with myself. i hadnt put my settings in properly because i didn't think i could *only* eat 1200 cals and not be hungry. so i…

there was a post on another board here full of pictures. there is one man who went from something like 500 lbs to a very muscular 250ish. any time i need motivation, i think of him! i think of how much more work he had to do to get where he is (i only need to lose @ 30 pounds) and if he can do it, so can i! not that i want…

Thanks for all the input! :flowerforyou:

i was just curious how others do it!

:smile: I wouldn't do both, that seems like too much! I am trying to decide whether to stick with MFP or switch to WW.

wow! you look amazing! great job! :drinker:

i decided it was time to take the drs advice and lose weight, so here i am! i plateaued after only 3 weeks until i realized i wasnt being honest with myself (as far as my settings go on mfp) because i didnt think i could do it with the lower amount of calories. after a month of not losing anything, i finally went in and…

me, too!

you look great! keep it up! :drinker:

my hubby and i like to go out to dinner, but with my diet and being gluten free, it can be difficult. We have found a restaurant that we love, but of course it is not the healthiest place we can go, since i always order the pizza! so when we plan to go, i consider it a treat and try to tailor the rest of my meals and…

gin with diet tonic water. shots, no mixers. rum with diet coke. vodka with diet 7 up. vodka with low-cal fruit juice.

I like to marinate chicken in equal amounts salsa (i use salsa verde but regular salsa is good too) and italian dressing. we either grill and eat it as is or use it for chicken tacos. so good! also i season 1 1/2 pounds chicken with salt and pepper and cook in skillet until browned. remove chicken and set aside (keep…

grilled, medium rare-to-medium with montreal steak seasoning OR just salt and pepper topped with a little bleu cheese :drinker:

i am the same. i am TRYING to quit soda, but coffee and tea are out. i like the fruity flavored fizzy water. perrier has versions with lemon, lime or grapefruit (i think the lime one has an initial taste like fruit loops!)

roasted asparagus, roasted cauliflower (yes, i am on a "roasted" kick right now!) and sweet potatoes. :drinker:

Haha! I posted a similar question yesterday! Here are the replies I got: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/624567-need-side-dish-ideas Last night I made quinoa with 1 Tbsp lemon juice, 1 Tbsp lime juice and 3 Tbsp chopped cilantro. yum! We also love to roast veggies- asparagus and cauliflower are my faves.…

Ditto!

2 corn tortillas are only 110 cal total. That's not bad, imo. Pretty low in fat, too. I don't eat much bread (i am gluten intolerant) but I eat a lot of corn tortillas!

mmm thanks for the yummy ideas! :drinker: :flowerforyou:

I did day 1 level 1 today and it was rough! but i am looking forward to the day when i don't feel like such a wuss! :wink:

fajitas are a good option, as are soft shell "street" tacos, which are made with soft (not crispy or "hard shell") corn tortillas, and not flour tortillas. they usually come with just onions/tomatoes/cilantro and the meats are generally grilled. they are usually available a la carte, so you don't have to have the fattening…

I love my hubby's beard!

I have not tried orgran cake mix, but i did buy some of their all purpose gf flour blend, and i felt like it has a weird taste to it that other brands don't have. :cry:

Sounds fantastic! How do you make it?

awesome info! thanks so much!

Suggestions for back strengthening exercises please? I do not go to the gym, so this is purely with home-available resources!

ham/asparagus quiche with a quinoa crust instead of pastry crust.

the christmas shoes. every. damn. time. (even if i listen to it multiple times in a row). :tongue:
