I'll probably shop for less more often. I notice that I often waste more than I'd like because it's just my 3 year old son and I. I think I'll make trips to the grocery store a few times a week and get a few items here and there. I don't mind paying more but hopefully we can use it all before it goes bad and then we aren't…

They make me more hungry and crave sweets, too. Bummer!

Almonds, fruit, apples with peanut butter, string cheese or cheese sticks, or 100 calorie pack cheese bites

Add canned pure pumpkin and cinnamon. YUM!

Maybe try relaxing before doing it. Not too much or you won't feel motivated to get back up and do it. But after you get your daughter to bed sit down with a hot cup of tea. Chill out and take some deep breaths that way before even doing yoga.

My protein usually comes from nuts, dairy, and things like veggie burger patties, ect.

This is what I used to tell myself when I worked in a K-1 building...the kid probably got some sort of snot or other germs on it. Just toss it when no one's looking!

I'm glad you said this because I'm CERTAIN bubble baths increase my weight loss! ; ) Must be the relaxation.

My non scale goal is to take a TON of pictures when I'm out with friends and feel good about most of them instead of only liking one.

I use egg beaters but today I made them with some fat free feta, tomato, and basil and threw it all in a tortilla. I also love to make scrambles with veggie sausage and bell peppers. Or veggie burger patties and reduced fat or fat free shredded cheddar. Sometimes I'll make a breakfast sandwich on a light english muffin.…

<3 Little changes are so important. I messed up for a few days and it's HARD getting back on track. I may not be around 1200 calories today but I can be under 1500. Make a small change everyday and within a week you'll be where you need to be. :)

Ewww. No wonder I always have a tummy ache after eating movie theatre popcorn.

Yum, I'm definitely going to try the first two!

Welcome! Good luck with your goals! I'm from Detroit. :) Feel free to friend me, if you want.

I'm with you. I've been going strong and this week I've given in to a lot of the Valentines Day baked goods that have been floating around my office. :( Today is a new day and we can get back on track right now! I've got the rest of my day planned so I don't eat anything unexpected. Come on, we can do it!

Don't worry about it! We are our own worst critic. People don't think about you as much as you think they do. And if they do remember this, "When you judge someone it doesn't define who they are, it defines who you are." Let them judge! You're getting healthy for you and no one else. If you can only run for 10 seconds and…

Thanks. I emailed the company for nutrition info without ham so we'll see if they respond. For today I'll deduct 60 calories. I order it without meat so I can't weigh it.

I do a lot of crockpot recipes. That way when my son and I get home it's ready to go. It's also nice because it makes a large pot and then we can refrigerate or freeze some for days when we need something quick. A lot of cookbooks and recipes online will give prep time and cooking time. Just look for some that only take 30…

Me too! My pants are always too big in the waist!

I had to order my 14 year old babysitter a pizza one night because I had nothing that she'd eat. Ha.

You girls can have some of mine...there's plenty to go around! Haha

This is my problem area, too!

Drinking tea always helps keep me feel satisified throughout the day. I don't necessarily use it as a suppressant but my work day is incredibly boring so it keeps me from mindless munching. Of course, I try to have a well balanced day food wise otherwise so I'm not actually hungry.

I buy them at my local grocery store. I found them in the meatless section where the tofu and tempeh and stuff are. I think they're disgusting! The smell is horrendous and the texture is awful. My friend really likes them, though.

Neti pot

I'm actually making these tonight. If you only have two slices it's like 135 calories. I haven't put it in the recipe calculator on here. I'm going to eat a whole one instead of two pieces, ha!

It surprises me how many times I'll think I want something and it's not as good as I was expecting. Before I would eat it anyway but not anymore. :)

I slice zuchinni and sautee it for a bit with some diced tomatoes and garlic, oregano, and onion. Melt some part skim mozzarella over it. Yum.

I think this sounds like a great idea.

Thanks, everyone. We dance a lot to different kid's CDs that we have....but I'm running out of moves so I need some new ones, haha.
