I didn't post the original recipe but calculated the calories - 320 calories assuming this serves 8 people. But the killer is the sodium (900 mg/serving). You can drop it down to 290 calories if you use the Silk Unsweetened Coconut Milk instead of the Thai Kitchen Lite Coconut milk. The tofu curry veggie recipe I posted…

Another "Thai" recipe - Tofu Veggie Curry I help make crockpot lunches at work - it's so much easier and healthier than going out for lunches. :) I get everything in the crockpot by 8am in time for lunch at noon. Tofu Veggie Curry 1/2 cauliflower - cut into medium florets 1 1/2 cups frozen peas (heck, thrown in the whole…

Resident Pollyanna. (it's gonna be ok - really!!)

Tough situation. Bad BO can bring tears to your eyes. If you wanted to be overt about it - you could bring a small spray bottle of OdoBan. You can get it at Home Depot in a gallon of concentrate. This stuff can kill cat spray odor. Just not sure if you would spray in the air or on the guy. But then again you could…

No more cankles! :smile:

Oh gosh - I'm so sorry you had to deal with that. That's AWFUL!! This definitely does not happen in my group and I've never heard of it happening in any other group. This goes against the very grain of Esther Manz's vision when she started TOPS. When you report a gain (you don't have to say how much), everyone says they…

Hey there!! I'm in TOPS too (OR1164)! Just got elected group leader. It's such a wonderful bunch of people. My husband joined to provide support for me (and he wants to drop a few pounds). He was initially the first male in the group but then just tonight another husband signed up. A couple of other members use MFP. This…

This is a fantastic idea! There has to be some dogs out there in the neighborhood who are dying to go for a run with you. I used to go for a walk every night with my dachshund (don't knock a dachshund - they walk faster than you think). When she died last year, so went my heart and my motivation to continue walking.

Welcome to the dark side my friend. If I ever made my grandmother's deviled egg potato salad with anything other than MW, she would rise from the dead and slap me upside the head. Her potato salad includes 1 pound of bacon, 5 pounds of potatoes, a dozen eggs, sliced mini-gherkins (non of that relish BS) and 2.5 cups of MW…

So Amazing!! Great job! Your family and your students must be so proud of you! :smile: :smile:

My hubby is 6'7". He always gets asked if he played basketball. He never played basketball growing up in Germany but he did try playing in a church league here in the US. He walked away with 2 broken fingers, a cracked rib and a strong disdain for basketball. Actually one thing I love about his height is when he goes to…

I'm addicted to homemade cappuccinos and hate guys who sag their jeans. For the love of broasted chicken, pull your pants up!

If you can still function well with a lighter breakfast, that should be OK. But you must have something at the beginning of the day to kick - you are coming off 7-8 hours of sleep. If I have a heavy lunch - I'm nodding off at 2pm. I have unsalted boiled eggs or unsalted oatmeal for breakfast - it's hearty and satisfying.…

What seems to be the common thread here is that apples baked in some sort of crust or pastry, and emulsified meat crammed into animal intestines and smoked are not exclusive to "American" cuisine. Suddenly I feel the urge to go to store and pick up some granny smith apples and frankfurters.
-
That and the authentic frankfurter. The pop that comes from biting down on a natural casing frankfurter is heaven. I love hot dogs but crave the frank. I believe there is a difference but others may beg to differ.
-
Billy Gardell. Totally agree he is hot. His comedy special is so funny. Made me want to move to Pittsburgh in the hopes that I would find some big lovable funny guy who liked loose meat sandwiches and Klondike bars.
-
Looked up what truly American food could be: 1. corn dogs 2. reubens 3. philly cheesesteaks 4. smores 5. buffalo wings 6. cobb salad 7. chocolate chip ice cream Not sure if these are "American" but I sure love them: 1. Grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup 2. A really juicy hamburger hot off the grill 3. BBQ 4. A stack…

So glad you and your family made it through this. Agree with the others, I wouldn't put the diet as priority. You just survived an incredibly deadly wicked storm event. Do your best but don't beat yourself up if you indulge. Comfort food is called that for a reason. :smile: However, when things settle down and return to…
-
Ha! You beat me to the punch. I just bought some today. I think it was around $2-3. Yep - it's salt free and it's the only thing that a friend of mine uses - her fiance had HBP and has to keep his sodium below 1500 mg/day.
-
When you no longer have to wear 3X cotton shirts of which most have either some sort of nautical theme or an explosion of flowers all over it. Do clothing designers think us fat girls dream of becoming sailors or funeral arrangements?

Awesome story!

Big Tomato in Des Moines, IA. Great Plains Pizza in Ames, IA. Cirello's in Corvallis, OR. Joey's or Coburg Pizza Company in Springfield, OR. Bell's Pizza in East Lansing, MI (their Greek Pizza is to die for and they have Vernor's Ginger Ale as a fountain drink).
-
^^^ this. The veggie delite is really tasty. The sodium is around 420 mg. The tuna is pretty good too with sodium around 600 mg. (I have to keep my sodium under 1500 mg/day due to HBP). As far as fast food goes, Subway is a much better choice.

Just watched Hungry for Change. Loved the concept of adding the good whole healthy food so you eventually don't have room for the bad food. This is a great alternative to thinking that you have deprive yourself while being on a diet. The woman who made the most sense in the documentary was the one who talked about…

Generally I just log the water and not the coffee/tea/occasional soda/milk/almond milk.

Women are mostly responding to this thread. Wondering why many guys aren't posting. Could it be because this is a question that you can't answer? Pretty/chubby vs. ugly/thin... causing a short circuit in the brain? Side note - kudos the the gentlemen who have answered here. Input appreciated. Can't say how the hubby would…

Totally understand the time constraints with working full time, going to school full time and having a young child. There are lots of things you can do to keep on track with losing the weight on your schedule. I found that if I pack a couple of apples in my bag, it's a life saver. Almonds or other nuts are a good go to…

When I'm doing well on eating choices and come across a challenge, I tell myself the blueberry muffin or bacon & blue cheese burger will still be there when I make goal weight. It helps a lot.

My (our) wedding was really nice. We paid less than $8000 for a 150 guest wedding at the cathedral and a nice sit down dinner at a Victorian mansion which doubled as an event center. We had a horticulture student / friend do up our flowers, another friend took the pictures, my MIL helped me bake all the cakes (we had a…
