Could I warm this in the microwave in the morning? I've never tried cold oatmeal and not sure I would like it.

TURBO FIRE!!!!!

Just ran out the other morning and tomorrow is grocery day :sad:

Those sweet potatoes were the bomb girl but unfortunately I had them in the hospital cafeteria where I spent my day with my mom. Maybe I will have a waffle though. I do have a sweet tooth. What about a Kellog Protein bar?

I have recently posted about this. I started back to MFP in the beginning of June. I lost 5 pounds in the first 6 days then nothing, I even gained back 3 pounds. I stayed stagnant for a couple weeks and now I'm back to losing again. I'm still not sure if I''m on the losing slope yet or if my body will once again head back…

Beautiful, sexy, amazing!!! :smokin:

Wow, tons of suggestions! I'm going to have to try some of them. Thanks everyone :flowerforyou:

That's what we have now and it's better than some other brands imo, but just not the same. You have to understand I'm coming from "stick to the roof of your mouth, horrible for you, but good ol Holsum White bread). I migrated to wheat a couple years ago and have slowly introduced myself to whole grains, but I have yet to…

I did this today with my vanilla coconut milk, walnuts, and 1/2 banana. I still added bs, but not as much. It was so filling I couldn't finish it.

Me too, except I'm tapped out on cals and it's too late to exercise :laugh:

What does mixing it do?:huh: I've been trying walnuts and dried cranberries but the berries are almost like candy and too sweet.

Oh wow, I was going to try that next until I seen how much it costs :noway: . I've heard it was really good though...well only from one person. I can't tolerate the after taste I get from almost all sweeteners (even Splenda).

Hey I notice this with our cloth diapers too :smile:

I feel your pain. This same exact thing happened to me last week. I had a 3 lb gain when I had been staying under my calories and exercising :mad: . I knew it wasn't possible that I had ate that many calories over my maintenance, so I wasn't too worried about it. Plus it's been in the 90's and super humid here so I'm sure…

I've heard a lot about the 30 day shred. Lots of people like it.

Thank you so much! I'll decrease my cals a bit and see if that makes a difference. Also I will try to squeeze in some extra exercise. I will probably go and have my thyroid tested anyway because my mom is having problems with hers. She's scheduled for surgery to remove one side possibly both. Thanks again to everyone!!

I usually don't like the after taste I get from artificial sweetners so I do still use brown sugar in my oatmeal and sugar in my coffee. Maybe I could try the Truvia as I hear it's not bad at all. I have pop once in awhile, meaning maybe once or twice per week and I've switched to diet.

@bonnymom - I did notice that when I used the MFP calorie calculator, I wasn't losing ANYTHING!!! They had me at 1250 and it was just too low, I was having blood sugar dips and was always hungry too. I just changed my settings and added sugar. After a quick look back thru, all but one day since June 23rd, I went over on…

Thanks for all the advice and suggestions! @ ladyhawk - I just turned 29 yesterday and I'm 5'5". I had my body fat calculated (with a handheld machine, but was told by the fitness coach it's pretty accurate) and it was 37.8% To everyone else regarding exercising, if you look back a couple weeks and before on my journal, I…

Believe me I've been so disgusted with the numbers on the scales lately. I want to throw them out the window :explode: .

:laugh:

Well here's to a NSV!!! :drinker: :laugh: Thanks everyone!!!

Tons of yummy skinny recipes! Thank you!

I too am having a problem staying motivated. Only difference is, I'm at the halfway point of my journey. I haven't been losing since starting back after a maternity hiatus. Reading this gives me more inspiration. Thanks and best of luck to you!

Deeelish!

Thanks for all the gret ideas. We ended up putting it on the grill with some seasonings including lemon pepper. Apart from OH overcooking it a bit, it was delicious. I like the mildness of the fish. I can't wait to try some of these other recipes. The fish tacos sound delicious.

That's great! I'm sure you'll be rocking that bikini before the summer's over. Great job hun! :drinker: I agree with the OP's...GO GET IT and POST A PIC!!! :laugh:

This is great because we just got home from the zoo today and I logged my exercise and it told me I burned some outrageously high number of cals. I knew I couldn't have burned that much, but cutting it in half does make sense. Thanks!

I'm definately trying this as the regular oatmeal with brown sugar is getting a bit old.

These sound great! I'm new to thr protein shake world and have been experimenting with different flavors and combos.
