I just looked some up online yesterday on Food Network's website! Lentil and wild rice salad is yummy. I'm not sure if you have a Trader Joes near by but they sell lentils already cooked.

Here's my typical day... Breakfast: 1/2 double fiber english muffin with one serving of turkey slices and 2 tablespoons low fat cottage cheese. One medium size apple. (If I weight train in the morning, I'll add a hard boiled egg) approx 300 cal Lunch: El Pollo Loco Ceasar Salad with a extra side of chop chicken breast and…

I make these all the time. I use my son's snack size applesauce. :)

I am up at 5:30 - and out of the house by 6:20. I'm at the gym by around 6:50 - 7. I'm out of there by 8:30 by the time I finish showering. I have an 8 year old so he can do most things himself. I try to do as much prep the night before. I usually go to bed between 9 and 10.

If they're member submitted, they may not show all nutrients. As far as diets are concerned - I usually stay way from bananas and mangos as they're not fiber rich and can mess with my "constitution" if you know what I mean. If you want to see nutritional stats on bananas...…

I'm scared to eat em cuz i'm not sure how accurate they are or how accurate my intake is...i'm usually about even tho...

I lost a lot of weight a few years back, and even tho I was getting slimmer, my tummy was the last thing I remember looking toned. Not till I really got in shape did I notice being satified with my stomach.

Well good luck to you...and the grass, I hear, is really greener on the other side of the weightloss fence!

I do fajitas because more protien. I marinade in low fat kraft italian dressing for like 30min. Then I just throw in a pan and cook. You can still enjoy the same toppings but use lean beef strips or chicken breast. :) Throw the leftovers on lettuce and add a dolup of sourcream for a great salad!

OH! I forgot, my fave! Frozen grapes! And handfull of those will definately do the trick!

I would make sure you're hydrated and then eat foods like watermelon! Try eating smaller meals throughout the day. I get like that too...it's too hot I have no appetite!

Theres no better motivation than being around people that love you just the way you are! Thanks for the sweet words :)

There's nothing like your own old clothes becoming new again!

The only advice I can give you is what my daddy told me, "Make a decision with your heart you'll make mistakes. Make a decision with you brain and you'll make mistakes. But decisions from the heart, you'll never regret." There comes a point in every relationship where you need to evaluate it's value. When you love your…

You know, I think the best advice I can give you, is to avoid bad habbits like standing and eating, eating the rest of your kids food, etc. I used to do it all the time! My son would leave a little left over on his plate, or he'll eat something like mac and cheese and I'll sneak a bite or maybe like 15 bites :embarassed:…

My friend made turkey chili today...try to figure that one out!!! I picked something comparable.
-
I just had a 1/4 cup (15 - 20) edamame steamed from last night...they were super cold and just a hint of salt. Having to pop them in my mouth gave me some satisfaction too! :happy:

I'm not sure if it's his music or his body but Kenny Chesney is a motivator for sure!!!:love:

I just picked up an Organic Girl Salad (Italian Pomodoro) and nixed the croutons. Yummy! It's like 3 cups of salad...throw some pre-packaged chicken breast on top and call it a night! SOOOOOO DELISH!!!

I use a splash of Italian Sweet Cream from Coffee Mate in my coffee. Try switching to Green Tea. When I had to give up coffee due to UTI, I replaced with Green Tea and it does the same thing. And it's good for you. It's a psychological thing - you may just want a warm liquid in your favorite cup :happy:

I have a chocolate muscle milk shake whenever I go to the gym and do strength training. To me, it tastes like cocoa puffs and best thing is, I don't want to snack on candy all day! Another thing to do is to eat a higher cocoa content chocolate - a little piece of dark chocolate is actually ok to eat (like one square). Or…

oooooh thats a good one! I also like to eat fresh cut procuito out of the bag...mmmmm

Cinimmon keeps apples from oxidizing but also makes them brown..lol :laugh: You can also buy the little individual packs that have a little ascorbic acid (vitamin c) splashed on them...it does the same thing as lemons. My son likes those. I personally like to eat my apples off the core cuz the browning ruins it for me too!
-
I use it too and I use the "interval" program. day 1 - lower body strength training + 30 epi day 2 - upper body strength training + 30 epi day 3 - 45 - 60min epi. then I repeat the cycle every weekday and do outdoor activities on the weekends. it works because i hate the step machine and i feel like you can get the same…

hahaha!!! The funny thing is, I'd do something like that...but make sure I took off my shoes! LOL!
-
Thats what I'm doing. I get my carbs from beans (healthy protien / carb pairing) and like a piece of high fiber fruit. I also like to lift weights. I feel better now, because it's not like I'm eating a 22oz steak every night for dinner (although that doesn't mean I haven't thought about it :tongue: ) For example - I had a…

I never liked soda growing up because we we're allowed to have it at home until I got older and by then, I didn't care for it. Recently, I've grown fond of the coke zero. Which I have on occassion but have chose not to keep it at home. Soda can dehydrate you and that's part of the problem, diet or not. I once went to the…

Go dancing :wink: It'll be a good workout and bring you're sexy back!

Have you checked with the doc that you don't have diabetes? My friend has diabetes and she told me excessive thirst is usually one of the most noticable symptoms. I drink around 64 - 96 oz a day and I feel right in the zone. That doesn't include any unsweetened ice tea or hot tea i have at night.
