  • I spend about $450-$500 a month for two adults and two kids (13, 5). My youngest daughter eats almost exclusively fresh fruit and veggies (I am happy that she does this but we don't make her, it's just what she prefers) so i spend most of my budget on fresh fruit and veggies, I can't get away with just the lower cost bag…

Think bowtie pasta, peppers-green, red, yellow, orange (or roasted red peppers), cucumbers, black olives, carrot shreds, black beans for lots of protein to fill him up, and a light italian dressing (wishbone light has like 35 calories for two tbsp and 4 tbsp is usually more…

  • Each day is a new day! Each day you make the choice to get back on the wagon, we all have our slips. Think about those feelings wehn you do eat well and you have made it to the gym. The last thing I wanted to do after a Monday from hell was go to the gym last night. In all honesty I wanted to lay on my couch with a bowl of…

  • When my salad toppings are limited (like at home when I need to go to the store) i use wishbone light italian, its 35cals for 2 tbsp but when i am out and get a salad (like at a salad bar when there are many toppings) i have found that i can eat the salad with no dressing, i originally tried ranch on the side to dip in but…

  • Are there no other fruits/veggies that you like? I have texture issues (onions, peppers, etc) but I will say this journey has changed my tastes, started small, one bite here one bite there and now i LOVE them. What about yogurts? Also sometimes changing brands of english muffins, or peanut butter or some of the the things…

  • I know this was said, but the tape measure is the best plan, it is more accurate than a scale, and if you are only doing it once a month you may see big changes in the tape measure which will help motivate you! Good luck!
