Just made this today. I've made it a number of times, such a great recipe and can be changed up easily - I added a can of black beans (drained and rinsed) and a can of sweet corn - followed everything else. SOOOO GOOOD!!! Served on brown rice, have lunch for the rest of the week!

I agree with the comments on Mike's outfit - I have watched all episodes this season and I was not a Mike fan at all for most of it, but the last 3 weeks I really felt he came into his own and my opinion of him greatly improved. While his Mama was on the ranch he was a complete Mama's boy, really annoying, then he just…

I'm in - Really needing to refocus, get rid of this last 10 pounds! Great to hear from you!

Veggie Pinwheels These vegetable wraps are easy for hands to hold and yummy enough to please picky eaters. Hands-On Time: 15 minutes Ready In: 15 minutes Yield: 4-8 servings Ingredients 8 ounces regular or low-fat cream cheese, softened 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh dill 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon paprika 1…

great ideas to all - Love your meal plan imagymrat - great ideas! I make big meals and portion out the leftovers too - it is all about using real food. I'm so excited for the farmers markets to open up here in the next couple of weeks, that will make veggies even easier!

just got my nails tipped today with Pompeii Purple :) We were actually just discussing how great the OPI names are :)

yummm! bumping for later :)

His Naked Chef show is on our Food Network channel (or at least it has been) this is a new project for him.

I am excited about Jilians new show too - Here comments on Twitter make it sounds really great. Not just about weight loss but about positive lifestyle changes. Looks very interesting.

the hardest part to change I think will be the FDA regulations, that part of the show angered me. A lot of changes in what is acceptable need to be made.

I think it is a great idea. I watched the special preview last Sunday, it was really good, looking forward to watching tonight. He definitely has his work cut out.

If you haven't cut open an avocado before here is the best way to do it. run your knife around the circumference starting at the stem, you will feel the pit in the center, just run the knife around that. Once all the way around take the avocado in both your hands and twist, it should come in two parts with the pit sticking…

I've been doing this too - to cut down on the sauce I cook the chicken first (either bake or skillet) shred it up (or dice it) then just toss it in the sauce, it doesn't take much sauce to coat a couple of chicken breasts. that gives me the taste I crave with a little less sodium and hardly any fat. I've been eating it…

Wow - That is crazy. I've just about quit eating out just because of this type of thing. I have a few things I've looked up and stick to them. That is just nuts! Sorry for your hard lesson learned, thanks for sharing.

Love these - this might be helpful to some of us Banging your head against a wall uses 150 calories an hour. and this Apples, not caffeine, are more efficient at waking you up in the morning.

Yikes! Thankfully haven't had that. Do NOT send that one my way. I find most men are shorter then they say they are (or maybe I'm taller then I think I am).

Very true - there are lots of frogs out there. I've been trying Match.com recently, actually have been pretty happy with it so far. Haven't met prince charming yet, but there have been some decent guys and so far they have been pretty honest. I think you have to read between the lines a bit, there are definitely some I…

I enjoy where the doctor shows their health improvement numbers, they have so much to lose that every pound is giving them better health advantages. No, they can't keep it up at that rate forever but it is a good jump start for most. I follow Shay from last season on Twitter, that girl is doing great at home, she was given…

You go girl!!! I've been in the same boat with the exercise, guess he thought I was going to meet someone better at the gym, or running down the road. Well, his loss, he is out and I know "better" is out there, meanwhile I'm much happier without the dead weight!

Great advice - I'm doing the "online dating' thing - try to get as much info as possible before meeting IRL, you just never know. Loving this thread - too much fun!

wow - That's so cool! Gives me hope :)

I think it is a great idea. I agree there are many more women on here but you never know...

I say Congrats to you for choosing to make the right decisions for yourself and your family to live a healthy active lifestyle. You should be very proud of what you are doing all on your own, rather than complaining and blaming your lot in life on others. As for other people, you can't change them, and you should…

Great story - so proud of you. it is amazing how good we can feel and your positive attitude is making it work for you. Keep up the great positive energy you have going! What an inspiration!

bump! Looks Fabulous!

Too Funny!!!! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I'm so sorry for your struggles with your stepdaughter. Can't offer much other than understanding. I have two daugthers myself, a 17 year old junior and 15 year old freshman I completely understand your frustration. You are doing the right thing, make her accountable and limit her options.

Created mine in 1998 when we first got a home computer to use the internet, all the talk then was about the coming Y2K disaster!! So I spun off that, having two daugthers - I'm m2k (mom 2 kids) and jenn short for my name Jennifer. I use it everywhere. Screen names are fun - I love the ones with creative stories - or…

So well said - Love all the comments here - Congrats to all of your successes!
