  • I too am a vegetarian. As a vegetarian, I still cook a lot of the same meals I did before, just without the meat. Morning Star brand has a lot of really good options and a lot of their stuff you can't even tell it isn't the real thing! I gave the Morning Star BBQ Riblets to my teenage son and he didn't even realize it…
  • Wraps are good with about anything. Personally, I am a vegetarian so I have 2 that I eat more than anything 1) Red Pepper Hummus, with Avocado, and a little feta or goat cheese 2) fresh spinach, sprouts, tomatoes, cucumber and black olives with a dash of olive oil and vinegar
  • I am in Florida too (Englewood - south Gulf Coast) and it is freezing!! I agree it isn't supposed to happen here! I thought I moved away from all the cold stuff!
  • Instead of eating at night before you go to bed, drink a cup of hot tea and put in a spoon of honey for sweetness (if the sweetness is what you are wanting). There are many flavors of tea that are really good. Just make sure it is decaffeinated and read the labels. I buy different kinds at a tea and spice store, but at the…
  • My husband and I started feeling real crappy about 7 months ago and we started to notice it was after we ate red meat. We cut all the red meat out and started feeling much better. One night after eating chicken out...we were grossed out by it and decided to just go for it. We do eat some sort of fish or seafood about once…

  • I have only been here a little over a week, but hate to see you leave! You have really posted some great stuff and been an inspiration to a lot of people!
  • I tried this just to see what it said. I do not think these are very reliable, fun maybe, reliable no. I took 2 different "quizzes" at 2 different websites. One says I am "Vata" the other says I am a "mixture of Kapha & Pitta".
  • Try Plantain bananas Slice them thin, broil or bake (I used to fry them) until they start to get a little crispy. You can do them salty or sweet - simply by sprinkling them with a little garlic salt or sugar when they are done
  • My hubby can be bad too. We will be sitting watchin TV or something and he will pop off with "Ice Cream (or related fattening food) sure sounds good right now!" and then if I don't respond he will then add "you know you want some" My hardest time for resisting is at work. I have co-workers that bring in cookies, brownies,…

  • Hello and Welcome Terri! You have came to the right place! :flowerforyou:
  • Remember, you can't make a dream come true, if you don't have a dream, goals and plans to make it a reality. Only YOU can make your dreams come true!
  • The only thing that stands between a man and what he wants from life is often merely the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible.
  • Hello Meg, you have came to the right place!:smile:
  • Thank you all very much!:flowerforyou: I eat mostly fruit (fresh/frozen) for breakfast. I just entered my lunch for today. I had some turkey ham and that was 163 calories (not bad) but then 27 to the protein. It stated my daily protein should be 45 and I am already at 41 for the day and haven't even had dinner. However, I…
  • Good Luck! Is your scale at home digital? I have a good old fashion dial scale. After I weigh at the doctors, I adjust my scale from the beginning "0" to show what the Dr scale shows, that way it isn't such a shocker!
  • Help! I am doing good on my calories and other things, but I keep going over on the protein. Any suggestions?
  • My fingers are crossed for you :happy: I have only been here about a week myself, and have also found this site to be amazing and the people are great! My first weigh in is Thursday AM. Wish me Luck too!

  • I absolutely love music. I have grown up around musicians my entire life. My dad raised us girls to appreciate all types of music. Been around it so much that I married a musician too! He plays guitar and bass, and writes a lot of his own music. I, unfortunately was not born with the talent to play it, but I do have a…
  • Hello! :smile: I think that is something that a lot of us struggle with (wanting our old self back) I now try to think of it as I want a new me instead of my old self. It was something about my "old self" that got me into this mess to begin with...LOL You have taken the first step, so try not to get discouraged! We are all…

  • Hello Jesse. I do not have as much as you to lose at this point, but I have previously lost 50 pounds and have another 25-30 to go. However, I am here if you ever need to chat!
  • Hello Elizabeth and Welcome! I would suggest putting on some upbeat music at home and dance! I dance a lot for exercise. You can involve the kids for some fun time (depending on age) or even dance while your cleaning the house.
