Hm.... Doesn't sound good. Maybe you have to do a lower temp for longer?? Was the flavor good and resemble a brownie?? I saw this one too- might try this sometime (from HungryGirl.com): Pillsbury Funfetti Cake Mix + Diet Cream Soda = Perfect (& PRETTY!) Party Cake PER SERVING (1/12th of cake): 180 calories, 3.5 fat, 306mg…

Is there a decent baking chocolate that would be the diet or sugar-free version? I love, love, LOVE chocolate covered strawberries. So for 70 calories a pop and having an entire batch looking at me, it might be too tempting to resist. Any ideas??

I would do a taco salad. Lettuce, tomato, cheese (optional), veggies, blackbeans, pico, etc. You can eat a lot for little calories as long as you avoid that super tempting fried taco shell!! Avoid it like the plague!! :laugh: I also put my chips and salsa on a plate and don't keep eating- once your serving is done, so are…

I am totally there with ya girl! I am alwaying lingering around 131-135. It's so weird, because I am happy and healthy but always striving to be in the 120's. I think I resort back to years when I could weigh 125 and not have to put any effort into it! Now, I have to work to stay in the 130's. The key to all of this is…

Wow... water gets a really bad rap when you pair it with weight!!

I actually feel at my slimmest when I am really good about drinking lots of water. When I'm coming up to a weigh in or an event, I drink tons of water and feel like it flushes me and keeps me from snacking too much. Water is the #1 tool to my diet, I would have to say.! #2 is the bikini hanging from my closet door :laugh:

Sounds yummy! what is the brand name of these sundaes??

I just made Vegetarian Reubens! I grilled a veggie patty and sauerkraut. Then I melted cheese and put it on a toasted whole wheat sandwich thin and added fat free thousand island. Takes about 5 minutes to make the whole thing! I know it may sound gross... But it was not, I actually loved it and am going to have one for…

Oh, Mr. Feeny.... You would say something like that! :laugh: On a side note, I was in love with Shawn Hunter. Wonder what he is doing these days!

Hi There! My week goal is simple, to get back on track with some excercise. I have been eating fairly healthy for awhile now and have been putting off my excercise. I am going to excercise 3 times this week to start up. I'm going to kick it into gear this week so I feel a difference next Monday!! No slacking on the weekend…

Well, I'm glad you finally introduced yourself! Consider me the girl with the punch bowl on her head from one too many. :drinker: I wish you much success!

I'm in too! I have always done weigh-in's on Mondays. I think its the only thing that keeps me from spiralling out of control on the weekend and I don't wind up eating an entire cheese pizza on a Saturday night after having a few too many glasses of wine:laugh: I think having a Mindful Monday group is great and happy to be…

Nah. I don't even record that type of stuff unless its excessive and then I'll make a misc. recording of things that might include: spray butter, hotsauce, and 2 sticks of gum... and even that I find a bit much and overdoing it! I wouldn't sweat 5 calories. I think that gum usually keeps me from eating a lot more calories…

Well, I drank 100 oz over the course of the day and I'm still ticking!! In fact, I usually drink around 80 oz per day and feel great and still manage to not kill myself! :laugh: I think what maybe created the misconception that we were torturing ourselves with water is the name "Water Challenge". It did not mean that I was…

Woooohoooo! Way to go!! Me too. All before 5 pm- pretty good:wink:

Oh, and good for you for resisting chocolate cake. I, too, would not be able to resist!!!

Sorry to say- its not just your office. Today actually is Chocolate Cake day. I'm trying to figure out who started this holiday.... Duncan Hines? a Bakery? or maybe just cake lovers?

I'm at 80 ounces and feel like they will have to roll me out of my office!! :laugh:

Well, I always count my crystal light as water - so I guess I will breaking your rules. I suppose since their isn't a prize- I'll be ok. :laugh: I'm just wanting to drink more water and if adding flavoring works for me- its what I gotta do. Brenna

100 oz? Ok, I'm in! :drinker: Just brought Crystal Light packets to work. That'll help too! (This isn't cheating right? :tongue: )

When I'm not getting in the excercise I am sure to be active in the office. I only take stairs and when I take breaks I'll go to the top and back down (about 10 flights). I also try to stand while I'm on the phone and move around. I even sit on the edge of my seat for that "active sitting" position. This does not…

You're right. Coke Zero has ZERO calories. I even double checked as I have a few in my fridge :) Brenna

WW has a deal right now for 3 mos for around $50 bucks. I really recommend buying a book or joining online to learn the tricks of the trade. I no longer do WW, but everything that I learned during those few months of my life, I have applied to my eating habbits today. I recommend it to anyone. Its a diet that is made…

I do Swiss Miss hot cocoa (the sugar free kind/25 calories), Chocolate Coffee, Vitamin World Chocolate Protein shake (yum!), or do a sugar-free chocolate fudge bar. They are all really low in calories and you get the chocolate fix you need. Needless to say, I like chocolate too... :drinker:

Yeah... just dont' overload- only do the recomended. I have done too much and enjoyed the results- but once you stop its not worth it. Your body doesn't know how to handle without it.

Count me in!!! I have 3 weeks until I travel home for the holidays... I want to get back in the swing of things for my own good but I also want to be at my best when I see my old friends and family. I'm in... starting today :happy:

You're great!! Thanks so much.:flowerforyou:

Yaaaay! So exciting!! Any progress on the Blackberry app??:smile: I know .... baby steps!

When you say a deficit of 3500 calories- which number do you take it from? Is it the number of calories you burn total throughout the week, working out and daily functioning calories that we burn, minus 3500? If so, do you know how to figure out how many calories are burned just by daily living so I can add them to my…
