Wow I feel awful now. I just went and checked my spreadsheet ( I've been keeping track of all my expenditures for 6 years - I'm a geek) and we average $1000 a month at the grocery store and $800 a month eating out. Thats just me n hubby and 1 or 2 (away at college kids). Oh it does include holidays and parties and such,…

Open up a can of beans and slop it in a bowl. He's not going to taste a darn thing, he'll be so focused on you!

As I am scrolling through I am eating Campbells cream of potato with dried beef and baby pearl onions added Warm and yummy

Fluctuations within a pound is actually pretty good for a digital bathroom scale. Although weighing yourself everyday can often be counter productive what you may not see on a daily basis will emerge as a recognizable pattern after 5 or 6 days.

My sister made us some delicious little dessert cups by mixing it into cool whip, topping with a little sugar free Hershey syrup and freezing them. She made them in the small candy papers so they were only like 57calories each. A very nice treat.

You are all lovely women regardless of how big, small, droopy or perky your breasts are. And for those of you that breastfed your children, yay you! That's what they at are really made for. Sexy is a mindset not a cup size!

I was finally able to find the maker cause the brand was stylized. It is Ed Hipps I sent them an email so we'll see what they have to say. Yes the sodium is high but I suspect that they may have under reported that as well. I like the idea of cooking it first. I don't mind some fat but I prefer it to be accurate so I can…

And subway is a restaurant trying to sell itself as heathy. Think of the ones that don't even bother!

I think your base calorie level might be a bit too high. I had this same argument with my nutritionist daughter. The calculations become less accurate as we go up in weight since our fat percentage is higher. Without 5 to 6 hours in the gym a day, few people can lose significant weight at 2000 cal a day. Try adjusting the…

After you make it you can get a better estimate of how many cups it is and then go back and edit it to correct number of servings

There are a few brands of store bought pizza crust that are pretty reasonable, like boboli. The whole wheat are the lowest calories usually. If you add low fat cheese, veggie toppings, or turkey pepperoni it's as close to pizza as you can get without the guilt.

I know what I'm having - a grey goose martini!

They make you buy 2 seats if you are over 250. I know cause I had to tell my hubby how much I weighed when he called to make a reservation. I told him to please go without me but he wouldn't. we did something else thatbday. I felt horrible. Next time we go to Hawaii, we are going and only buying 2 seats not 3.

There is more to it than just your metabolic rate. There is most likely a lot of variation in efficiencies too. No one's gut absorbs every calorie. Absorption rates can be affected by what you eat (ie fiber), how much surface area of intestines, and enzymes and hormones. Additionally, fat adsorption is a whole separate…

Marinate in balsamic vinegar and rosemary. Grill or bake, its moist and yummy!

I know exactly what you are going through. For me it's not sweets, it's high fat content food (like cheese or chips) The only thing that has ever worked for me is to go completely off whatever food I am addicted to for a week or more (sounds impossible, I know). If you can completely cut out sweets (don't worry about the…
