I make something similar and always add a full can of pumpkin, too. You absolutely cannot tell it's in there and it gives the chili thickness and loads of extra fiber and nutrients. Love it! Here's my recipe if you're interested in a variation! :) Extra Lean Turkey Pumpkin Chili INGREDIENTS: • 20 oz extra lean ground…

I love them all! For a chewy bar, microwave for 12 seconds. For a BIG cookie, microwave for 37-39 seconds. Both ways are freakin awesome.

That sounds amazing.

Sounds good! I'm gonna try it without the banana to save on carbs. :)

I weigh it in grams. It's the most accurate measurement.

You look great! Where's that swimsuit from? So cute!

I got this when I hit my goal:

That is an awesome list! Thanks!

I'm pretty much at goal (well, my doc's goal -- my goal is another 5 lbs. down). My doc and NUT want me eating my BMR which is 1400/day. I sometimes hit that, but I shoot for 1300. I figure at very least I'll maintain at this point.

Songs that really get me moving: Pump It (Black Eyed Peas) My Sharona (The Knack) That's Not My Name (The Ting Tings) Girlfriend (Avril Lavigne) Eye of the Tiger (Survivor) Toxic (Britney Spears) Get On Your Feet (Gloria Estefan) No judging. They just have good beats. LOL

That's awesome! Congrats!

Love the idea of putting on top of a baked potato. Never would have thought of it and it adds a great deal of protein. Thanks!

So happy for you! You're working hard and it's paying off!

You look amazing!

In my 3rd week post-op, I actually gained 2 lbs. I FREAKED OUT. I called my nutritionist and practically cried about it. She said it's TOTALLY normal and it's our bodies rebalancing fluids. There's NO WAY it's a real gain. Sure enough, the next week I lost that 2 lbs. plus 3 more. I never had another stall/gain until a few…

I had VSG on 11/1/12. I sent you a friend request. :)

You look amazing! So happy for you!

You look amazing!

That is soooo cool! You look amazing. I wish I would have thought to do a life size cut out before losing 73 lbs!

I see a lot of kale and spinach in these smoothies and now I really want to try this. So to offset the taste of the greens, I just need a sweet fruit (like pineapple) or flavored protein powder, I guess?

Congrats!

You look amazing and I am very inspired by you!

You look absolutely incredible! So happy for you!

I'm down 70 lbs. and I am always cold now. I used to sweat for no reason, so this is a HUGE change for me. I sleep in a sweatshirt some nights! I live in NJ and this winter has nearly killed me since losing all this weight. It's just too cold!

How awesome for you! I was an "apple" and now I'm a true hourglass! Woohoo!

I had the sleeve on 11/1/12 and I'm just about at goal weight (I'd still like to lose 10 more lbs). and I typically get to about 900-1000 cals/day. I just had an appt. with my metabolic doc yesterday and he said I should be eating 1200 cals/day. I find it very difficult to hit that if I eat high protein (like I'm supposed…

Beautiful! Congrats!
