it was a good week exercising for me. my total was at 8 & 1/2 hours. (that does not include the regular exercise of living like: cooking & cleaning) hopefully that will show at the final weigh-in this week. only a few more days to push for the goal, good luck everyone.

not my recipe either, but....i would suggest going further- instead of butter- brummel & brown is made from yogurt and only 35 calories in a tablespoon. splenda does a brown sugar blend that has reduced calories. you still will want to calculate the calories (sparkpeople is great). i'd use fat free half & half, still rich…

chely- welcome, i started dieting on august 27. i have been working really hard, but have had a long way to go. i belong to a couple of great groups. this is the link to the one group, they started in january and all of them had a 100 or more to lose when they started dieting. i think you would find them wonderful and…

i think you did really, really well. and you have a right to feel beautiful. i am taking a big trip at the end of may and i'm really hoping i can follow your example. i've been mentally trying to think through how i will make choices on the trip. i do not know which restaurants we will be at, but should be able to have…

there was a thread on here a while back with a number of folks complaining about the weight watcher scale. i think if you search the posts you will may be able to read what others have had to say. honestly after reading the complaints from several, not just one or two, people; i know i would not buy a ww scale.

so chocolickkyss, i have a question. i am still a long way from reaching a maintenance weight, but i am curious and since you have been maintaining well for a few months maybe you can answer the question. i wonder how quickly you changed the number of calories you were eating to a maintenance level. did you gradually add…

olive garden has some new lower cal items. ask for the nutrition information when you are seated (it is seperate from the menu) i found the venetian apricot chicken at 280 calories fit in very well in my diet. it was tasty chicken & veg (no pasta) and then i had a green salad (no olives or croutons) and asked for lemons…

thank you

i was just talking to my daughter about this earlier this week. we were out somewhere and as we watched the people going by, i told her i no longer have a good sense of which ones look close to my size. i'm used to identifying with the larger people as being close to my size and shape. but now....? i've changed alot. but…

hungry girl has a number of recipes that use fiber one cereal. you might check the website for recipes with fiber one. i've got the 200 under 200 cookbook (200 recipes under 200 calories) from hungry girl and it has over a dozen recipes with fiber one in them.

you've gotten some good advice posted. i agree with checking the scale for accuracy. good plan. if you do find the scale is faulty and needs to be replaced (not just new batteries) i have read posts from a number of folks complaining about the weight watchers scale- just something to avoid if you are out shopping.

this is an interesting article talking about adding exercise. it is written for runners, but the stages apply to anyone going from an inactive to active lifestyle. trying to build new habits. (btw- skim or skip past the steps of getting started to the stages of a runner) as you read "the beginner: stage one" i think you…

I am so sorry. poor kitty. and poor you too. i have hated leaving my cats at the vet. even though you know they are being cared for by people who know what they need. (need not want, of course) this week was my turn though. i was in the kitchen fixing breakfast for myself, the cats were in other parts of the house. i…

better homes and gardens (the old red plaid cookbook) has a cookbook called "eat well, lose weight" in a binder, easy to use in the kitchen. we have not had a bad recipe out of it yet. we have a couple recipes that i made notes on them that next time i may tweak them a little (more spice), but really it has been great. and…

thanks so much, i bought seeds last week and was going to go surfing today for recipes. perfect timing. thanks again.
