I agree with other posters. . . ROASTING - Yum! Hummus is the best too but watch the portion size.

LOVE Mio! Just tried a sample of the grape energy one this past weekend - it was delicious and I normally don't like anything grape. My favorite though is Orange/Tangerine. I ALWAYS have at least one Mio in my purse at all times. It comes in handy at work, at a restaurant or somewhere where the water is not so delicious.

I microwave some Progresso light soup - usually the 70-100 calorie versions for a total of 140-200 calorie very satisfying snack! If you can't microwave it at work, heat at home and bring in a thermos. Deeeeelicious!!! :flowerforyou:

ajewell. . . 51?

It IS coming on tonight - Monday night is the regular night. My husband and I love the way we get inspired when we watch it, however, I was totally surprised last night when a McDonalds McRib commercial came on. We were saying how much $$$$ McDonalds had to pay for that time slot!! Gotta remember, its just a TV show - real…

THIS!!! Welcome, and add me as a friend if you like. . . you totally CAN do this! Ann Marie

pizza!!!!! oh and of course CHEESE!

I'm sorry you feel that way. . . but know you are Normal! We have these unrealistic thoughts that we should all have a Norman Rockwell Christmas. Those I believe are few and FAR between. Your uniform indicates you are in the military and leading other soldiers. You have the hardest job in the world as far as I am…

Oh my goodness! For the past five years, all I've given are homemade, mostly edible gifts. Go to Livingonadime.com She has TONS of gifts to make. One of my favorites is here: www.livingonadime.com/candy-christmas-wreath/ Fun to make, and inexpensive and customizable to everyone. I also make handmade jewelry for all the…

SHUTUP!!!!!! :love: You are the best. . . thanks!

:tongue: shut up!!!!!!!! These sound AMAZING! Thanks!

I agree with the above poster. My husband did GREAT on SWBMO and lost over 50lbs in a short time. MInd you, he LIVED ON Hardboiled Eggs, chickenbreast, green beans and rice the entire time he was on it and never deviated! Yuck! Poor thing never had treats, or was able to really choose for himself and only ate those 4…

Try Valerian Root in capsule form (follow bottle directions) - works WONDERS for me and its all natural. Also, turn off all lights, cell phones, computer screens, tv OFF - keep the bedroom cool and dark. Good Luck!

Hmmmmm. . . :ohwell: seriously I don't miss anything! I eat what I love in moderation. Eat what you love and love what you eat! (as long as you have the calories!)

My husband and I eat at Subway a lot. . . we get the oven roasted chicken breast, no cheese on flatbread with ALL veggies (except black olives for me - YUCK!) I get a 6" with light mayo and a bag of baked lays and my meal (usually dinner) comes up to a little over 400 calories. I'm satisfied because I got to eat out, but…

Hi Nicole - I am very interested in joining! Thanks! I think for myself I'm now craving clean foods over fast foor and processed food (most of the time!) This program works because we are changing our lives. . . NOT dieting. I am looking forward to the next 90 days. . . what are you looking for from us as far as…

You'll hear lots of theories, but IMHO, put items into your daily menu plan that seem like cheats, but fit into your calories. That way, you never really have to have a cheat day or slip up meal. It is going to happen occasionally, but if you plan for it, it will kill your weight loss. Good luck!

Oh my gosh that is AWESOME!!!!!!!! Dawn here I come!!!!! LOL!

Well that is terrific news! I always felt like I HAD to work out for 45 minutes or more in order to get any benefit. Now if I only have 30 minutes, I'll jump on that bike, and it'll be a breeze. Thanks for the info!

Looki at my diary - Automation works for me. . . I rotate through a few different lunch and dinners, but breakfast is almost always the same. (at least during the work week) I am a diabetic and my numbers are now down to under 100 just since June!!!! Friend me if you like. You can do this!

BEAUTIFUL POST! Thank you for your story, and your success! You are an inspiration. . . I'll be right with you as you savor every single bite of those superb Godiva chocolates. . .eat a champagne truffle for me ok? Congratulations! Keep on goin. . . you are doing so great!

You're funny! Add me!

Wow you ALL look great - extra skin or not! DMK (OP) ummmm. . . HELLO YOU ARE STUNNING!!!!! Don't worry about loose skin my dear. You will be so happy being 100lbs lighter, you can decide at that point what if anything to do about it. Stay the course - you are doing SO well! almost 20lbs! 1/5th there already!!!!

Feel free to add me! Dee - low impact - best I've done is recumbent bike or stationary bike - NO stress on knee joints!

:laugh: Start singing. . . "pants on the ground. . . pants on the ground. . . " GREAT JOB!!!!!!

I have one thats very healthy but everyone devours it! I call it Caprese Sticks! Its a handheld twist on traditional caprese salad - mozzarella, basil and tomato. I take 2 cherry or grape tomatoes, 1 small cube of low fat mozzarella cheese and 2 small pieces of fresh basil leaves and space them out alternating on a skewer.…

High Point TODAY! Dr. lowered my insulin today - A1C levels went from 8.2 to 5.9 from May 31st to now!!!! First Dr. visit in years where she said, all my bloodwork numbers were good, and don't have to come back for six months!

Hi Sweetie! You made me smile just as big as you did along with you while reading that NSV. I KNOW that was a major accomplishment! Keep it up 'cause it only gets easier!!!! Congratulations!

Oh my gosh I am so happy for you! What an amazing feeling ... even in a Walmart Dressing room!!!!! I can feel your excitement through the computer! Well done!

Hi Girly! I think a lot of it depends on your intensity when you work out, and how much you weigh. I am in the 250's so I will burn probably double what you burn for 45 minutes at a high intensity level. (I'll catch up to you and burn less eventually!) I don't think what you are doing is not enough nor is it excessive! You…
