You could make it with Almond Milk as well.

I'm more mindful of what I'm putting in my mouth. More natural foods (veggies, beans, eggs, meat) and not so much of the processed foods. It's a slow go for me either way I go, but I feel better when I don't have the wheats, sugars, and dairy.

Eat in moderation and maintain.

I use CardioTrainer (free) on my Android. I love that it can track my actual walks (using my gps on my phone), tallies up my steps, miles, gives me a map of where I walked... but then I also have the option of adding in workouts (such as circuit training, kick boxing, pilates, zumba, ect...) and gives me a running total of…

I use the 300 under 300 book... the Lasagna Cupcakes are awesome! And ffreeze very well for a quick meal on the go. The Cheesy Chicken Enchilladas are good, the Baked Ziti one... to be honest, the only one that I tried that wasn't very good (could very well have been my fault) was the baked beans one. All the others have…

You're just pure awesome Simi! <3... My befores haven't changed yet much from my now, lol.

Marie's Yogurt Ranch Dressing!!! Yummy! and half the fat and calories of regular ranch.

Is the wii one any good?? I heard that the belt is awkward.

Agreed.

I had done pilates for 2 months (quite a while back), once a week for an hour with a trainer and lost 2" in my waist! The instructor used the ball, the band, the mat, the roller... I haven't had as much success doing that stuff at home on my own as I did with an instructor who really knew what she was doing. But every…

Thank you!! I will have to check that site out.

Huh... Never thought of that.

Wow!!! Holy Cow!... That's a good idea. I'm already doing a daily thing on my Calendar for when I exercise. I could add one more thing. Congratulations!!

Hahaha... I lift my lil 7lb dumbbell every morning. It's not much... but I'll take it. ;}

Realizing that after a year of "ok... I'm really going to start Next month"... 3 years after having my kid, still weighing as much as I did when I had her. Having nothing nice to wear and not willing to go buy clothes for this body that will be gone "starting next month". Having my cholesterol checked and my mom (the…

Thanks everyone!! You all make some good points, and I have some good ideas brewing. This is my last vice... yes, save the best for last! Lol. I'll be 35 next month and I would love to quit by then. You're right. I Have to Want to quit... and I'm right about there. ;}

Having a Sprite Zero with 1/2 cup of Cran-Pomegranite juice... instead of a beer or mixed drink. Sounds stupid, but really hits the spot when I'm craving an alcoholic drink.

I'm not even sure where I would start. I honestly don't believe it was the food (albeit, I mostly ate processed foods due to 'time constraints' and pure laziness). My issue was the alcohol consumption and not moving. Between that and eating 3 meals regularly during the week and hardly anything over the weekend... After…

Hungry Girl egg mugs, egg cup, or Fage yogurt with fresh fruit and organic granola.

Yup!!! And it's my New Best Friend!! Seriously, I've tried about 6 or 7 different recipes and only one was a little iffy (but I think that was mainly because I was using old stuff that I've had forever). I recommend the baked ziti, the Lasagna Cupcakes (to Die for!), the loaded baked potato soup, the Hungry Chick…

Sorry... the first thought that comes to mind is Drain Cleaner... lol

Keep in mind... the weight probably didn't come on quickly. You can't expect it to come off quickly, nor do you want it do. Not if you want to Keep it off. I was a manic depressive/bi polar. Something that helped me out tremendously was getting outside, in the sun. The natural vitamin D you will get (15 minutes a day,…

Or shredded chicken. ;}

Done! ;}

Ya know... that's not a bad idea!

According to my 'reports' thingy, I average about 1600mg per day. This is something I'm Really working on (not that I add salt to my food, just trying to eat more natural things instead of prepackaged stuff).

It is changing a little bit... I think I'm just getting too impatient. ;}

So even though I'm draining off the broth... that makes sense, cause the chicken has to absorb some of that. I didn't measure the breast before I put it in... but I have 2 other's similar to it that I'll measure and just use that. 2oz would be a reasonable serving size, no? Thanks for your input!

Try a handful of almonds.

Cooked artichoke, beans (lima, black, lentils) and split peas.
