Werther's Originals have a delicious sugar-free toffee candy, but too many of them will give you major gas. Plain hard candy is usually low in calories anyway and you can suck on it for a while to make the sweetness last. I have a drawer full of cinnamon and butterscotch discs in my home office right now. I plan to add a…

raw sugar snap peas are nice and sweet, baby carrots, sliced tomatoes with a little salt and pepper. All of those are super low calorie.

Vegetable soup with a little meat. 1 can vegetable broth 1 ca beef broth 1/2 cup of whatever beans you like 1/2 cup of onion 1/2 cup of chopped carrots 1 stalk of celery 1 cup of chopped cabbage 1 can of diced tomatoes 1 tbsp tomato paste chopped meat of some sort (1 cup of beef tips, a single small chicken breast, or a…

ROFL, I had ice cream 3 hours ago.

Holy Sh*tsola!!!!!!

I ate 800 calories or less for 3 months while taking diet pills and lost 27 pounds. I never stopped loosing weight. As I began to weigh less and less I did start loosing weight slower. My theory was I weighed less so I was burning less calories doing the same things. I am now off the diet pills and its not very difficult…

Park in the parking spot the furthest away from the building. Rock back and forth in your chair.

I got on the scale at work the other day and there is was, that beautiful 150. Just 25 pounds more to go. My face is thinner and younger looking, I look good in long flowing skirts again. I just got an awesome new haircut to go with the much thinner me. Men's heads are turning and women give me dirty looks again, lol.…

The man I sit next to at work asked we where I was going when I I got to work today. I said "What do you mean, I just got here?" Then he said "well you disappear a little bit more each week and I just wondered where you were going." On a sadder note some of my overweight work buddies are avoiding me and when I am around…

I am very hourglass as well and although I am not happy about the boobs getting smaller I to can live with it. That's what padding is for anyway. Plus if your smaller to begin with you will never have to worry about sagging. Its so uncomfortable when that starts. When I am in the mood to go without a bra I find myself…

It only takes mine 6 minutes to cook.

I knew they were under there somewhere.

Once a month on a day that I know for a fact I am not retaining water.

You can get prescription diet pills. I'm actually taking some now. They boost your metabolism and curb your appetite. You don't sleep much and you have to visit your doctor each month for a new prescription. You do still have to exercise and watch your calories while your on them. A lot of people say that once they are off…

ooh yeah those little minis are great. I let them melt in my mouth and savor every moment of them.

i think berries and pineapple are great for sweet. As for salty. maybe a little melon with some salt on it.

as far as the beef goes. i found a recipe for un meatloaf on a vegetarian site and i mix that half un meat and half beef when ever i make burgers or meatloaf. its a little drier but there not complaining to much. Hubby looks like he is 8 mnoths pregnant with twins so i told him no complaining.

I was surprised to discover how low in calories green beans and peas are, the canned sort.. only 30 calories in a serving of green beans and 3.5 in the whole can. We know how cheap those canned veggie can be. Just avoid the canned corn, yikes.

If I'm going to work out to it it has to have a fast beat. techno is excellant for this and it often has that new agey sound I love so much.

lol, thats funny. I guess thats what I'll tell Chris when he starts shaving., he's 13.

ooh this is fun. yesterday 1.5 hours cross country hiking. 10 minutes jogging in place. 1 hour of typing (yes I count this). 15 minutes of leisurely walking (2.5 mph) to my meditation spot overlooking the mountains. I count every little bit of exercise. 30 minutes of house work. 30 minutes of ironing. Today went on road…

I have fibro also. The weight does not help. It makes moving around that much more painful, but then again so does exercise. Unlike others we don't stop hurting after we get used to the exercise, its going to always hurt. I've tried to just learn to live with the pain. Pain killers of any kind are only going to work until…

Although if your weak you should stop

I have always felt there can never be to much cardio. although to much stair master of hill climbing will make your butt and thighs larger and not smaller.

well darn and I thought leaving the yolk out would be so good. well i guess it was a good thing.

I have the same problem. I take it to mean I'm eating to much meat. i read the other day that when your body takes in anything extra that it doesn't use right away its stored as fat. wouldn't protein be the same way/

i have a pair of pants in my closet. There not one of the smaller pairs in there but there a pair I couldn't wear last time i put them on. They snap in the front they were very uncomfortable and came unsnapped everytime i sat down. I put them on this morning because I had to run into town for a minute and they fit! Not…

I don't usually keep pam around. I probably should, it would probably make my life a little easier. My eggs are always rang fed farm raised. i trade fresh herbs with a lady who lets her hens run loose in her yard.

I have a problem with going over on my protein so I've decided to start only poaching or baking egg whites and not the yolks. I can't find a listing for calories in a poached egg white. do you think poaching it would change that amount of calories. I know baking would because you have to grease what ever your baking it in.

I find soups with lots of vegetables to be very filling and there usually low in calories too. I've also learned that foods that are high in fiber and low in calories are very filling as well. Like refried beans. There very filling and low in calories. I make them myself so there won't be any lard or shortening in them,…
