My goal is to be able to shop in the regular stores and buy the cute fashions again, versus the big women's section which is always ugly. I say the best advice is to just go with what makes you look good and not worry so much what the tag says. Congrats on your sliming down you have already done.

You need to put yourself first. As nurses we always tend to put ourselves last. You must eat to be healthy and to take care of other at your top game. Take 15 mins at least every 4 fours to eat some pre packed snacks. Almonds, veggies, fruit, cut them in small bite size bites and keep them handy at the nurses desk. Try a…

great fall recipe, thanks dear!

Vitamix is pricey but so worth every dime, it is an awesome smoothie maker, juicer and many many other makers. I love mine and really reccomend it. QVC sales them sometimes on interest free payments so it makes the price a little easier. I was lucky to get one as a Christmas gift from my Parents. Good luck!:smile:

I love whole foods nothing frozen, or processed. Here are some of my favorites that I eat for lunch: Tomato, basil, skim milk Mozzarella with a bit of balsamic vinegar Boiled shrimp with Couscous add a table spoon of cocktail sauce Lettuce wraps with grilled leftover chicken breast, snap peas, tomato, green onion and red…

I have the book and recommend it. He also has a free app explaining it more. He also tries to encourage certain products but you can follow the plan without the special products. I have been doing his plan for five weeks. I had hit a bit of a Plateau before starting his plan.. so for me the changing of carb helped confuse…

I like to take a salad. My favorite is snap peas, green onions, tomatoes all cute into bite size a few Sesame sticks and Kraft light Asian dressing or make your own dressing. Stir all that with the dressing and serve with Lettuce wraps. This dish is always popular at events! Have fun!

I had the same question about how to count the veggies and fruit I juice? I hope some more experienced juicers can help us. Thanks for asking the question!

I don't think we should worry about what others are putting down, we all have to be honest with ourselves. I burn a ton of calories because I am very overweight. So it isn't strange for me to burn 1000 calories doing zumba for an hour per my heart rate monitor. I also put down cleaning, cooking etc, not because I want to…

I have a couple of favorites, 1st Frozen fruit 1 cup, 1 cup of Greek yogurt vanilla, no fat. Mix in blender on high makes a great, sweet ice creamy treat. You can add honey if it isn't sweet enough. 2nd. Any cake mix you like dry and one can of diet soda, for light cakes like strawberry, orange and white I use diet sprite…
