FAGE 0 plain - fresh berries and a scattering of dark chocolate chips.. mmmm

yummo I"m making this...... but not tonight.... We are having zucchini pancakes, pollo asado n jicama/mango/cucumber sald - with Tajin! nom nom nommmmy

I often use greek yogurt(drained) with lots of spices or Trader Joe's Reduced Guilt Spinach & Kale dip! Slammin with tuna or egg salad. Hubs loves it too on this sammies instead of mayo! SHocker!

LC works for me - I try to stay between 15-30 most days - and an occasional carb back day every 7-10 days. SInce my thyroid removal and developing gluten interolances I tend to shy away from most grain type carbs - Most of my carbs tend to be from veggies although the past few weeks ( 10 days of birthday celebrating) not…

I'm with Belle - I don't like my Fitbit Ultra I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT! Very motivating and so worth it - I've had mine for over a year and a half - it has survived two trips in the washer & one in the pool - But, if I needed a new one they would replace it - NO PROBLEM! They have INCREDIBLE customer service - one of my…

^^^ This Best way to go - you will get the "Carb Flu" and feel funky around day 5 - but it will pass - drink LOADS of water - make sure you really are getting enough protein and believe it or not salt. Loads of people have success - Good Luck

friend request on the way I am so addicted to my FITBIT //www.fitbit.com/user/22W6GW March on -

DEFINITELY hit the water --- try a deep water aerobics class - works your muscles in such different ways! pretty much the pool helped me get from 350+ to where I am now! Plus when I was at my heaviest ( and in wheelchair because of my arthritis) I went to some "chair aerobics dance classes" I'm sure there are tons of sit n…

Almost exactly like ours - it is so slammin delish! Now I want to go get some pork - If you like it crispier I throw it in the cast iron under the broiler right before serving - Really tasty with tomatillo/avocado salsa -

^^^^ This! I certainly do.... put all the yummy goodness as the bottom - then my glass case and wallet - but they rarely even check

OZOMATLI!! Although today I should say I Got You Babe...lol

I wouldn't change up or turbo charge your workouts - stay low carb - really up your water and be sure that you are getting enough fat along with the protein --and believe it or not sodium too.... If you were already pretty low carb - might take several days to get down to ultra low carb - be careful of the 'dreaded carb…

use a thermos! I have 3 different sizes depending on what I'm taking... But you MUST pre-heat the thermos first - boil the water - fill the thermos and seal - then warm up you lunch - soup - stew-rice n veggies - any leftovers yummy - dump the water out fill with yumminess - super tasty lunch later - and still really warm!

done! thanks for the motivation!

I'm in -

Greek yogurt! or Trader Joe's reduced guilt Spinach & Kale Dip ( makes a slammin tuna salad too!) But mostly we use Strained Greek Yogurt - thick n creamy and more protein n less carbs.... nom nom nommy check it out Protein - Greek yogurt has twice the protein of regular yogurt, because the protein is concentrated in the…

bumping to add some recipes when I get home! Love love LOVE my crockpots!

^^^ yup and don't forget about avocados..mmmmm a good fat - olives - ooooh and coconut oil....nom nom nom

SHARKS!!!!!!!

Well said - At my heaviest I was 350+ and miserable inside and out - Sometimes I don't even recognize myself at first ! The eyes were so sad..... I'm so much happier and healthier now - it is a part of my past that I will remember and not go back to
