  • just bake them at the temp and times the brownie mix says to use, no changes??
  • Yes, i am pretty much limited to just walking, too, and some stretching and toning exercises. This does kinda force us into a lower calorie allowance......but, i am getting used to it, more and more. I still mess up, out of having bad habits for quite some time. Habits take a while to change. I am learning a lot, a lil bit…
  • THAT IS SO CLEVER! Bet this is so tasty!!
  • this sounds really delicious!!
  • that sounds delicious!!
  • That is a good idea, too, that i hadn't considered, is using greek yogurt as a sour cream kind of thing....THANKS! i have never liked sour cream, but, i could use greek yogurt as a thickener now and then, in some recipes.
  • slightly off topic, but best ever fish recipe right here===> http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/725848-cook-your-fish-outside-on-top-of-fruit-so-easy-delish
  • On your food diary, if you search for "fried white fish" several options pop up. Most of the choices seem to be saying that fried white fish is about 200 to 230 calories per 4 oz. If you went to a chain restaurant or fast food, you might also be able to search for that restaurant by name. Or add in 4 oz of whatever fish…
  • i'm old, so my songs are old, lol. I play this one while i'm putting on my shoes:KEEP ON MOVIN http://youtu.be/1iQl46-zIcM I like this one, the words are great:----AIN'T NO STOPPIN US NOW http://youtu.be/53rSq4le-0g this one is juuuust the right beat for me to jog to:You Get what you give http://youtu.be/cPAEFnVZVOs
  • To the OP, lol, now i am thinking, you should write him back, and THANK HIM for identifying himself as an *kitten*, cuz that IS the deal-breaker for YOU!! rofl........tell him how relieved you are, that you did not waste time actually meeting him, as it is so so much easier sorting out *kitten* who self-identify…
  • To the OP, i'd bet the jerk who did that, suffers from low self esteem....most bullies actually DO have something about their very own self that they loathe, and that SELF loathing is the root of their cruelty. Ppl who are actually happy are not cruel. so if you can, feel sorry for him. someday you will reach your health…
  • i am loving registering voters, door to door. I get some exercise, too, nice lil bonus. I target neighborhoods that are known to be heavily democratic, and i especially target apt buildings, and neighborhoods where the bulk of the residents are RENTERS. (not the neighborhoods where ppl have lived there for eons and own the…
  • i knew someone would say that, but, thing is, sometimes even underweight ppl or 'normal' weight ppl, can have lumpy areas. Two ppl at exact same weight, can look entirely differently from each other due to exercise. don't let others discourage you from exercising. (there will be pages and pages of ppl stopping by to pass…
  • only 200 caloriesfor a generous 1&1/4 cup serving size, and only 20 minutes to make a vast pot of it.:drinker: DELISH! Verrrry warm taste to it. :heart: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/743753-200-calories-chili-soup-only-20-min-to-make:heart:…
  • To the OP, Fresh veggies, and some fruits are dirt cheap if you grow them from seed. but you are right, otherwise, it can cost more to feed a family of 4 fresh produce vs. box of processed crapola. IF ONE KEEPS THEIR HOME FREE OF CRAPOLA AND JUNK FOODS. there is less competition for the child's appetite. I raised my kids…
  • <IS AFRAID OF CHEEZITS,:laugh: as *I* personally can not manage portion control around stuff like that,:blushing: i am very drawn to salty, fatty foods:love: ..........oh i might *think* or plan to have one (1) handful, but, later, there i am, with half a box in my stomach.:indifferent: but for more disciplined ppl than i…
  • I have not made these recipes myself, but anything i've tried from "SKINNYTASTE.COM" has been good, economical to make usually, and QUICK to make. Many of their recipes make large pots of food, and i freeze servings in freezer bags, which will make eating out seem like MORE effort:laugh: than defrosting your own home…
  • RECIPE TIP: the ground WHITE MEAT turkey, is soooooooo low fat, that it barely gives off enough grease to keep from sticking to the pan, so you might want to spray the pan before browning the meat.
  • That sounds wonderful,:love: and yes, that IS a bit 'cleaner' than the very very simple SkinnyTaste chili soup i just made this week, which did use pre-packaged, lower sodium spice mix.:blushing: and canned beans, etc. :heart: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/743753-200-calories-chili-soup-only-20-min-to-make:heart:…
  • i am SO writing down all these suggestions, and am very grateful for each and every reply!! THANK YOU!!:flowerforyou:
  • THANKS, i will try that, too! This greek yogurt is so good for a person, i just have to find a way to develop a taste for it!
  • i thought that was a lovely post.....hope the OP reads that one .....twice. so many lovely replies, from everyone.
  • thanks all! Great info!!! ah, the KeyLimePie whipped yogurt is to die for good:love: not bitter at all, just sweet like pie... ............but the Greek KeyLime one, not so much.:sick: but, i bet i could learn to like it, maybe, if i try hard enough...i hate to waste these containers, so i will try messing around with them…
  • This one is super easy, only takes 20 minutes to make a whole pot of "chili soup". I froze leftovers in individual serving-sized freezer bags. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/743753-200-calories-chili-soup-only-20-min-to-make Super easy, doesn't get much easier, "roasted broccolli"…
  • YES, ANY CITRUS FRUIT will do, grapefruits, oranges, limes, lemons, whatever you have. and your kitchen won't stink!!!:drinker: The marinade in that recipe is super quick, too, only 20 minutes long, i just drop the fish into the bag of fruit juice, and put it all into the fridge while the grill heats up.
  • that's brilliant, maybe i could wean myself off of the sweet fluffy yogurts doing that! THANKS!
  • CONGRATS!!! WOW!!! You must be so so proud!! You look wonderful!!
  • i am kind of new here, but, i don't see the problem, unless you are bored or something? IF you do get bored, or IF you do hit a plateau, IF that happens, you can repost a new thread on that problem, seems like. :smile: . If this is working, and if you are happy eating same things each day, and walking same route each day,…
  • and don't be so hard on yourself, you are only a human, and making new habits takes time. and practice. like i said, i am still kind of new, but, i've noticed, each week i seem to be getting a lil stronger inside, but was i right off the bat? nope. wow, i messed up lots of times!! Took me a while to get the hang of how to…
  • Yeah, that prednisone is a real bad drug, especially when taken long term, you do pay the devil for it. Hopefully, your doctor can begin to slowly wean you back off of that one, shiver. Still, you can lose weight, if you take in less calories than you burn. You might want to consider having an "open" food diary. Mine is, i…
