I would think baking cocoa...

You have taken the first step. Think of everyday as a mini challanage, there will be some days that are harder than others but just keep telling yourself you can do this...and if some days you cant dont beat yourself up just get right back on track. I have been struggling this last year. I lost 50 lbs in a year and have…

I just cant imagine eating only 500 calories a day. 1200 isnt enough for me lol..

Wow doesnt that all sound so familar. I know my ticker only shows 10 lbs but it is actually 50 lbs total. I was not on all summer and Im trying to lose another 30. Bellieve me when I say I have tried every diet cause I have. I was on weight watchers when I was 10, so its been a struggle my whole life. What helped me was…

Natures Own wheat with fiber is great its 50 calories and to top it off......its the same size as a regular slice of bread.

I got the recipe here under chicken cornbread (crockpot). to be honest the chicken was great was not to crazy about the cornbread. I dont think I would make it again.

Im trying the chicken and cornbread (crockpot recipe) with string beans.

You have come to the right place. Everyone here is wonderful and no one would put you down or say harsh things. Just remember small steps, small goals. ...If you read my profile you will see I struggled my whole life too...I finding logging my food calories everyday has helped me alot.As far as exercise. I bought an…

Ground turkey could also work well in your recipes.. And jennny 0 turkey breakfast sausages are great...I sound like our friend Bob on the biggest loser.

i have to agree with Iplayoutside...if your gonna have that many calories on a salad Id go for the hamburger too. :laugh:

Im 51 also, been heavy all my live. Ive been on diets since I was 12. I have gone months where I say I dont care what I look like or what people think Im not gonna deprive myself of the food I love. Who was I hurting? Just myself. I have been on this site for almost a year and a half. I lost 51 pounds but then during the…

I have been watching cmt, the news, rachel ray...whatever is on at the time...I wish house was on in the morning... I dont know if I got a good deal or not but I picked my elliptical up at ****s for $320. It seems to be ok. I took out the extra 2 year warranty just in case something happens. It certainly is worth every…

just want everyone who encouraged me to do alittle at a time it gets easier. Well it is day 5 and I am up to 10 minutes on level 2 and my knees are now feeling like they will hold me up alittle longer...:laugh: ..I am sweating like a pig but its a good feeling. thanks again everyone...

i know it sucks..... skinny people dont have to do this.

I guess theres hope...It just scares me after spending the money on it...I will probably have to pay for a divorce if I dont use it:laugh: ya know like the exercise bike and the tread mill that when we moved we got rid of...I wish now that I kept it all, but I had a hip resurfacing and could not longer do the pounding of…

Thanks everyone, I did do another 5 minutes today, :laugh: my hubby thought I was a wimp when I told him hell I can only do 3 minutes...he got on it....:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: 2 minutes and he said.... well I cant repeat what he said , but it wasnt good :laugh: :laugh:

welcome from another Tn.women...good luck with your weight loss, this is a great site with alot of helpful tools and people.

I have never tried it but they do have low calorie heart healthy bisquick..

mrssunshine where do you live? and do you need extra friends to help you??? I know you said you have your wonderful husband but what about girl talk??? I myself am 51, I have lost over 50 but would still like to lose another 30...good luck :drinker:

low fat three cheese ranch dressing...yummm

You look great, to me you look like you went down quite a few sizes..I think someone is playing a nasty joke on you. congrads....

Now I love all ice cream and I love garlic, but I have never ever eaten garlic ice cream and I can tell you I dont have any intentions doing so.....but lobster yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmyyyy

You could do a whole wheat pasta salad load it up with veggies and use fat free italian dressing. You could even add turkey pepporoni, laughing cow cheese....what ever you want to throw in it. and alittle goes along way.

This is a great site with many helpful people. Good luck in your journey to a healthier you. Dont hesitate to ask for any help if you need it.

I just went back to look it up and it says 2 servings. Hope that helps

No I dont sorry, I just found the recipe on another site and thought I would share.

My thoughts exactly...you could probably even cut back more by just using egg whites.

I think going out to eat is the hardest challange that we face when trying to loose weight. I try and a salad to fill me up so that I dont over do. I also divide my dinner in half. Italian places are the worst, well really the best (hahaha) just a hard choice. If they have a really nice soup try getting a bowl of a tomato…

Maybe Paula Dean made it with 2 lbs of butter per muffin...:happy:
