  • I know that it gets frustrating...but don't give up. Hang in there. I don't know what other advice to really give you. I know when I feel like giving up my friends are very supportive, and they just tell me to keep at it even if it takes a long time. You can do it. :flowerforyou:

  • We have one and I love cooking on it, but the clean up is a pain. We just purchased a Cuisinart Griddler series that has the reversible plates...one side grill/panini, the other side the griddle. That is so much easier to clean since the plates come off and you can pop them in the dish washer or wash by hand. If you use…

  • I agree with this so much. I never thought about it utill I heard other people saying it...then I started using the phrase a few times. Then I thought ...WRONG ...this is a life style change, a forever life style change for me. not a journey. That being said, what ever works for you, go for it.

  • I like both the Lean Cuisine and the Weight watcher smart ones. The only ones that I didn't care for were the mac and cheese in both brands. Sodium is high but if that is not a problem for you then I would recomend either one.
