  • When I'm craving sweets, I usually try for fruit or a flavor ice pop. I tend to want something chocolate, though. If I can't get past the craving I try for a square of really dark chocolate. I also like oatmeal with peanut butter and a square of chocolate mixed in. The best part about sugar cravings is that the less you…

  • Ok, I looked at the past couple of weeks and had a couple of thoughts. And, please know I'm not trying to be critical at all, just helpful. You eat really well, whole foods, not a lot of extra's in the way of desserts, condiments, etc. The first thing I noticed was a lot of dairy. I'm lactose intolerant, and dairy makes me…

  • Hey, glad to see someone taking the initiative at 18. It took me until 28 to realize I needed to do something. The best piece of advice that I've been given is that you have to find a real reason as to why you decided to do this. Losing weight is great, but let's face it not all of us will look like fitness models…

  • Everyone in my house loves roasted potatoes like the ones missiontofitness posted. A lot of times I'll add onions, too. Even people who don't like onion usually do when it's roasted because they get sweet and lose their sharp onion flavor. Just make sure you keep the oven at about 400. 450 seems too hot for regular…

  • I've got two things that have kept me motivated. One is having someone hold me accountable. I know that they're going to ask if I exercised/ate well. That usually helps keep me in check if I start going off the deep end by binging on bad food or missing a few workouts. The other thing that has worked best for me is…

  • I know some people don't really care for soup, but we've been making turkey taco soup every week. My boyfriend loves it (and he hates ground turkey). It's really low calorie and high fiber....plus it tastes good. For a pound of turkey meat (extra lean works in this) you add a can of black beans, a can of dark red kidney…

  • Have you tried skinny girl wines? I've tried some of the pre-mixed drinks they made, but I haven't tried their wine. I believe the wine comes to about 100 calories a glass. If you local liquor store doesn't carry it and you catch the owner, they're usually more than happy to order some if you're a regular and let them know…
