:laugh: Ha, aha, ha HA...Vet does a little dance! (did that just burn cals?):bigsmile: FOUND THEM And LOCALLY! At the Asian Market! After calling every specialty grocer in town! And, they are about 5 mi from work! PERFECT! Now if I only knew what to do with them... P.S. Also, when I pulled up the miracle noodle site, the…

I eat somewhere between 5-6 meals a day. It really works for me. I've been steady in my weight loss (ticker doesn't reflect it all as I threw out the scale!!). I think it helps my metabolism stay up.

Checked out the website. Says it is made with Glucomannan which is actually in Shirataki noodles, so it's close to what I'm looking for. Thanks for the site. If I can't find them locally I'll see if I can order from there.

So...if I do find them, what do I expect? I was actually wondering if I could use them in the place of pasta noodles in spaghetti (and if I could get it by my 4 yr old!) I've read to rinse them & boil slightly (whatever boil slightly means...hmm...) Any advise? Thanks BTW I've never cooked with Tofu so assume I have no…

Snacking is good for your metabolism too. My nutritionist (for what it's worth) encourages healthy snacking. She says that it keeps your body in the zone...(as in "come on boys, she's eating again - gotta burn some cals" her words not mine) :wink: She also says cut your meal cals & snack more throughout the day. I have a…

So, I'm bumping for later...so I can make yummy party food!! :drinker: But, I also have an addition. SuperBowl Sunday we made BBQ smokies that were lower fat & were DELISH! Use the Turkey smokies (no one will ever know I promise), a lower fat & cal BBQ sauce & heat up. They make a great staple.

Best breakfasts for me: these are around 300 to 500 cals but oh, they are great! Ezekiel 4:9 Sprouted Grain (2 slices) w/ Smart Balance (1 tbsp) Mayo & 1/4 cup Egg Starts (makes a fantabulous egg sandwich) Ezekiel 4:9 Cinnamon & Raisin (2 slices) w/ Land O Lakes REAL BUTTER (oh, yeah, I said that!! - 1 tsp), 1/4 cup Egg…

AHA! Thanks for that info! This is what I've been doing for a while now & while my ticker does not reflect it (I THREW AWAY the SCALE - so I don't know what I've lost) I am losing more weight than before. A typical day for me is around 500 cals for breakfast & the rest of a 1200 cal day is split into 5 more meals. I eat…

Tanning bed. The lights help soooo much!

Did you like it? I love, love, love this! I can eat it everyday - so much so that my co-workers laugh at me!:blushing:

My most favorite lunchtime meal is TUNA! A fantastic lunch is 1/2 a fuji apple (cuz they are a little sweeter than any other variety in my opinion), a large stalk of celery - both cut in bite size chunks & top with tuna (I use the Healthy Selection in the pouch cuz it's sooo easy). Very filling. A great taste...(great…

Oh! I love this one: Naturade 100% Whey Protein Booster - Vanilla Has 80 Cals in 2 scoops, 1 fat, 75 sodium, 40 potassium, 1 carb & 16 protein. It's delish on Kashi crunch & almond milk w/ a little blueberries (low cal too) - with the protein powder it makes a complete clean meal. It's my new fav breakfast. I get mine at…

Thanks for the link. I needed to hear that today! :drinker:

bump for later

bump for later...yummmm....

Hormel 100% Natural Turkey...only like 150 - 200 per slice. It's great too!

:flowerforyou:

Oh! And another fav of mine & fam's is veggie lasagna with ground turkey. that one's on my blog too.

Do ya like feta cheese? There's a fabulous recipe for feta stuffed chik on my blog www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/fit4vet

Thanks for letting me know. I'm going to the store today, so I'll see if they have it in stock before I order. I've been wanting to give it a try. :bigsmile:

wow great post. thanks!

Please research what you are taking BEFORE you decide to stay on it for 5 years...I'm tapering off Effexor XR now - against doc's wishes, but I have an experiment going! (I have gained 70 lbs in those 5 years - now, I won't say it's all due to the med -doc says 5 lbs maybe - I think way more, but that's the basis of my…

LMAO! Too funny! edited to say love, love the smiley in your siggy! reminds me of trying to do anything around my 3 yr old!

That's what happens when we come on too strong! :grumble: Hmm...maybe we were more than they could handle!:devil: :brokenheart:

:noway: LOL! And, me...I'm on the same high veggie diet! :sick: Oh good law!

Whoa...did I mention I wuv U? :bigsmile: Love, love, love the way you think! I'm printin' this post, buddy! :flowerforyou: (don't send any jealous wifey my way, I'm just "hittin'" on yer brain!)

thanks, just couldn't get the brain & the word wired up right! :laugh:

I did that too for a while, then I started losing. Just recently. And, I'd been exercising like a feen (pheen? sp?) for 2 months! Don't worry, it will come off eventually. Didn't get "on" overnight & won't get "off" overnight. (cliche', I know, sorry). However, you can look over some things...sodium intake is one - causes…
