LOL! I totally agree with what you are saying. I miss the rouladen and rotkohl too. :) We could probably wait on the kase sahne torte until we get closer to goal weight.

That is an excellent idea. I will quiz him on this when he gets home from work. We are fortunate enough to have a couple of German delis in Portland that are outstanding. I figured out how to make bauernbrot that is pretty close to the bread we had in Germany. The hubby was awesome to translate his mother's recipes so I…

That is so true! I used to make rouladen, sauerbraten, jagerschnitzel or curry wurst with spaetzle, potatoes or red cabbage when we weren't watching our weight. Until recently, there was usually some sort of fruit torte in the fridge which was always served with a side of real whipped cream. Now he gets upset when I cook a…

The following webpage gives some good tips/recipes for making your own frozen dinners. Personally, I love bringing leftovers for lunch the next day - they taste so much better than the pre-fabricated frozen meals and are more hearty. http://www.sparkpeople.com/resource/nutrition_articles.asp?id=762

If you can find it (they make it in Eugene, Oregon), Nancy's is awesome. It is organic, tasty, and the whole milk probiotic Greek yogurt has 7 grams of sugar/carbs.

What a timely topic for me. Just got on a bike after a 10 year hiatus. Rode 3 miles with a family friend who is helping my daughter learn to ride a bike. He brought a tandem so my daughter rode on the back of his bike to get comfortable with the idea of biking. I followed behind in the hopes that I would be inspired to…

I married a German and we've visited the in-laws several times over the years. Every time we went back to Germany, I ended up losing 3-5 pounds over 2 weeks. It was because we ate better and moved more. The food was delicious and healthy. Maybe part of it was that my in-laws are farmers and we ate everything fresh from…

Chili Mac Pot (4 WW Points) 16 ounces extra lean ground turkey or beef 1 cup chopped onion 2 cups (one 16 ounce can) tomatoes, coarsely chopped and undrained 1 (10 3/4 ounce) can Healthy…

I've discovered the perfect warm place to plant my cold feet is the small of my husband's back while he is sleeping. I seriously crave red meat the week before - ribeye that is as rare as the health department will allow...

The DASH diet website has some good advice and the book has some really tasty recipes. I downloaded the booklet a while back but can't find it anymore on the site.

On a serious note, I used to get a horrible case of strep every year without fail. There would be lots of nasty white plaque on the back of my throat. The doctor didn't even need to swab for a culture to determine strep. Strep was only time I used antibiotics. WebMD may be right about it going away in a couple of weeks but…

You're gonna need a young priest and an old priest....

That's awesome!! Congratulations! :flowerforyou:

This left me stunned. What motivates people to take pride in knocking others down? Things like this prompted me to avoid my 25th HS reunion. BTW - great response to the POS bully.
-
You are beautiful!! Thank you for posting this also. You have inspired so many. :smile:
-
:laugh: I act the same way going to the gym as going to church - go to the early service to get it over with, go in head down, make no eye contact, and sneak out before the priest shakes your hand. I can't even comprehend the post Mass coffee and donuts. So, in response to the OP - no - I don't want any positive feedback…

Surprised that no one mentioned that Twinkies don't have a shelf life. They have a half life... similar to Uranium 238. I'll get an occasional craving for a Little Debbie Swiss Roll, eat it and then regret it.

You're with friends here - my hubby joined my weight loss group to support me a couple months ago and he has lost 15 pounds so far. I am not nearly as successful. I don't hold it against him because he is my greatest cheerleader. Keep eating healthy and exercising. Suggest adding weights to your routine (I just started the…

Was just going to say that you can find the videos on YouTube. Another Taebo fan checking in. I had a VHS tape that I loved to pop in - it just recently died. Was crushed.

Based on the experiences of many posters here, what is it with these rolling gangs of morons who feel it necessary to shout insults and obscenities out their car windows as they are driving by people? These people are so cowardly - they can holler horrible comments while tearing off in their car. To these morons - yeah,…

Not sure about cougars but we have bears where I live but have heard of very few encounters with them. I heard on the radio that you can tell the type of bears in the area by their poop. If it has nuts and berries in it - it's typically a brown bear pooh. If it has bells in it and smells like pepper spray, it's grizzly…

Christopher Walken. Would love to go dancing with him.

Wow!! The noodles, mango & butter bean salad looks awesome. Thanks for posting this.

We make the following salad with a few adjustments to reduce the calories. 1.) Cut the amount of the honey mustard dressing in half 2.) Double the amount of salad mix, pears and grapes. 3.) Cut the amount of bacon in half http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Curried-Cashew-Pear-and-Grape-Salad/Detail.aspx?soid=recs_recipe_seed The…

If you look like the "after photo" on your profile - I wouldn't worry too much about the show. You look beautiful! :flowerforyou: Suggest continue what you are doing with eating well and exercising. Maybe throw in a few more workouts if you have time. Enjoy the makeover!

The kid and I love spaghetti squash - I just prep it in the oven and use a chunky marinara sauce. Butternut and acorn are delicious at Thanksgiving. I also love zucchini (strange - I never get sick of it). Just bought one of those "vegetti" slicers at the cooking store. Love it! It makes the zucchini out to be like a…

Agree with other poster - if you can enjoy your coffee black, that is best. I love Italian roast with no sugar or cream. However the coffee at work needs amending. I add half & half with a packet of stevia. But if I had to choose between the fat and the sugar, I would choose the fat.

First of all, kudos to the hubby for slapping those potato oles out of your hands (if those were the Taco Johns oles, he totally saved you). It will be tough with the mother in law - she won't understand and it will be a big drama fest if you don't eat her food (I'm from Iowa and that's how my mom is). Eat protein before,…

Living in Oregon, fresh seafood is so easy to get. We try to eat fish twice a week. Agree with other posters - if you can get some fresh tuna, you will never go back to canned. I love fresh and smoked salmon in all shapes and forms. Google the recipe for salmon siracusa (copycat from Buca di Beppo) - the bruschetta on top…
