I have two pieces of 100% whole wheat toast with light Laughing Cow cheese wedge spread on it, a glass of skim milk, and an apple. Nutricious and delicious! And only about 300 calories.

Fries are bad in that they give you calories, but very little else. If you are only eating 1200 - 1300 calories a day, but you are eating 300 of that in fries, then you are eating 1/4 of your food in junk that has very little nutritional value. If you eat them every day, you are most likely not getting the nutrition you…

[/quote] I am feeling great! Keeping track is a wonderful thing. Now I have to go out and buy new pants. The old ones are falling off! What a problem to have! i LOVE that kind of problem. Now an excuse to shop! Thank you all for your well wishes! [/quote] To me, that is the biggest motivator - the fact that I feel so much…

Good for you! Are you feeling better??:flowerforyou:

I think after you reach 10 pound loss increments, the program asks you if you want to readjust your calorie intake.

You are right, it is great to have support that is non-judgemental and positive. And a good debate is always fun, IMHO. There are many different personalities and these personalities all need different things. I, for instance, HATE mass produced jokes. I mean, they really stress me out! I would appreciate it if people who…

Advil cold and sinus does it for me. Also, try to go to sleep elevated from the abs up. This always helps me too!

Let me give you another reason to grin - you're in fargin' University!!! Stressful, but a really fun time in your life. Ah...... if I could only go back for a day!

We do a lot of camping and I was wondering if anyone knew of a "mini-scale" or something that you could use to weigh yourself with? We usually go for up to 3 weeks and of course, being on vacation, temptation is great. But the scale I have now is quite big - especially in a pop-up!

www.cbc.ca/ - So I can get some Canadian news and weather in Celcius!

I would not worry about it - he most likely could not see very well, was tired, or whatever! In the past year alone, I have been asked twice when my baby was due (I'm not pregnant!) and one cashier referred to my friend as my daughter (she is 8 years younger!), but It never bothered me. My friend and I had a good laugh and…

Thanks for your kind words. The lobster was DEE-licious and as a treat, my husband also made a chocolate fondue, but he made a slim version of it for me. At the end of it, the fondue was only about 350 calories! Happy Valentine's Day!

And try to get 100% whole wheat bread rather than just plain wheat bread. There is a world of difference in nutritional value. WW bread is all I eat (including WW pastas). They are great for your digestive system because they have a lot of fiber. They have a heavier taste, but once you get used to it, there is a chance…

Ever since my husband and I have been together, he always gets me a lobster (or two) for Valentines Day. And I just checked how many calories are in a lobster and I was pleasantly surprised. I would have eaten and enjoyed the lobster anyway, but this is icing on the cake (so to speak...!) Hope you all enjoy your…

I got this info from the University of Rochester website: Calorie Reducing Tips Try alternating alcoholic drinks with low calorie non-alcoholic drinks or water. Ask for low calorie / diet mixers where possible. Make your wine into a spritzer (a longer drink), or your lager into a shandy - both have fewer calories.…

So sorry to those who have recently lost their pet or have made the decision to end their days with dignity and love. I have four cats - Panthera, at 16, is the matriarch. She is a calico. Arrete, 3, who was semi-wild and adopted from the Humane Society. She is white and black. Parcheezie, 3 and also adopted. He loves the…

From the little bit of research I have done, you would have to eat less than 50% of your needed calories per day for a period of time for your body to go into starvation mode. That is hard to do. I usually don't eat any of my extra calories and I am losing 1-2 pounds per week, which is my goal. But if I'm hungry, I have a…

Congratulations! And enjoy Florida!

If you are wondering about a food that you make often, it is worth getting to know the calories and servings. The next time you make it, put all the ingredients into a program that will tell you the final calorie and nutritional count. Then get a typical size bowl and see how many times it is filled. This will give you the…

You know, you might also want to have a talk with your daughter and husband also. A "treat" should make you feel good and eating all this stuff has obviously not made you feel good. I tell my friends and family that I want to decide when I want to treat myself, because sometimes you really need it - and generally I know…

I have also tried the South Beach Version and it is quite good. It has been a while since I had it and I had forgotten about it. Thanks for reminding me! *runs off to put caulifower on the grocery list*
