I am with you! The chocolate has to go! I just dont know what to do about it. My nine year old and three year old may never forgive me if I get rid of it though!

check on www.foodnetwork.com I have seen several recipes on that channel. I know that Giada DeLarentis has made a few. I made a salad of hers with it. Just type in quinoa under recipes. It will bring them all up for you! :)

What is helping me lose? The thought of not being there for my children, like my parents have not been there for me, because of dying early in life and not taking care of themselves. What am I eating? I am on a low carb diet. Not NO carb. Just low. I have between 50-100 g of carbs a day. It is wonderful!!! It was hard for…

To everyone who has responded to my question... THANK YOU!!! I had no idea that I would see so many responses. Extreamly inspiring. As of right now, I am down 21lbs in about two months.

You know, it occured to me that this is probably not an appropriate place for this question. Can not figure out how to delete the message though. Thank you so much for reading and offering the support though!

I have gone to the database on mfp and typed in the food (ex. chili) and checked out how much other people have posted for serving size. The database is a really good source for info like that!

Hang in there. As a female I need 1200 calories at minimum. My husband needs a minimum of 1800 calories. it is true that if you dont have enough calories your body goes into starvation mode. Dont give up. I know that it makes no sense to eat more to lose more, but it does work.

I Have recently joined mfp. i think that I am you a year ago. I have been saying that I have a goal to lose 100 lbs in a year. I would love to lose that much. Now I see that you have lost even more then that. You have inspired me. I now know that it is a possible goal. Thank you.... did you do this by diet and exercise or…

alfredo sauce works well. Also pesto is a great substitute!!!

Hey guys! Thanks for all of the outstanding support!

my husband I are also doing the low carb thing. I know it can be frustrating. Hang in there. We have been doing turkey sausage and saurkraut. It is great in the crock pot. We have also done some research and checked the carbs on some pasta sauces. Some of them you can find with 9g or less of carbs per 1/2c of sauce. We…

AMAZING!!! how are you losing it? I have over 100lbs to lose. Very inspiring!

Taco bell works well if you get a taco salad with no tortilla bowl. Cuts the calories huge!!!! I also ask for no rice. Cuts the carb issue. As for the other places... salads. Sorry they are your best bet. Good luck!

I have the same amount to lose and am just starting the journey. How have you done it? Advice?

I think that you have enough oppions at this point. Hang in there. You can do this. You are in charge of your body! Good luck!
