Thanks - I just came over to ask the same question - glad it isn't just me! :)

I should also add...I'll take any kid-friendly soft recipes as well! I'm going to make tilapia a few nights...and some pasta...then it all falls apart. I don't eat eggs (so the quiche my dentist recommended is a no go!). THANKS!

Thanks - I'm glad to hear it's not just me. I've definitely exercised today - an hour on the treadmill should count for something! :)

Ok, perhaps I will try that, but it still doesn't answer the question...anyone?

Thanks! I'm all synced, so we'll see how this goes!

Thanks. I have to think about it. I mostly walk on the treadmill, which I guess the FitBit would be great for. But I do try to mix in some exercise videos/strength workouts too. And the HRM has the benefit that I already know how to use it. :)

My husband gets what he calls "summer stomach" - it's so hot that he just has no appetite. Me? I'm not so lucky. And like other said, summertime treats are SO yummy - I've already started craving ice cream and slurpees! (side note: the new sugar free Sprite slurpees are AMAZING) But I do feel like it's easier to make…

Bumping this up just in case someone else saw this/heard of this/tried this. I'm just curious. I was thinking I would give it a go today, and then decided I wanted an apple and all bets were off. :)

It seems like one of those "too good to be true" diets. But I was curious if anyone else had heard of/tried it. It was on Friday's episode of Anderson Cooper's talk show that seemed like it was a re-run.

Thanks! A wrap sounds really lovely - I'm off to run some errands, so I guess I will pick some up while I'm out! :)

I try to eat a balanced lunch. Today I had a turkey burger (homemade - ground turkey breast with seasonings) on a roll & a small Greek salad (veggies, handful of olives, tbsp of feta, some homemade dressing). Tomorrow I know I am eating out at Noodles & Company and am planning to order the Med Salad with shrimp. Unless I…

This is interesting, since I just logged on to post a similar question! :) I started taking 20 mg at bedtime a couple of weeks ago. My doctor warned me that weight gain is a common side effect. So it's entirely possible that it's what is slowing down your weight loss. Interesting that you guys take it a few hours before…

Thanks! Maybe I'll just sub out those cardio moves. The lunges didn't seem to bother it - but the jumping jacks were the worst. I really want to stick with this and not use this knee thing as an excuse to stop! Thanks!

Yes! I always use trip advisor when we plan trips, and I like to write really detailed reviews to help others. It's nice to share when you find a really good place!

Like others have said, I would try some fresh in-season veggies cooked really nicely. You can roast them or whatever - ask around for good recipes. I was a VERY picky eater through college, and have become much less picky now that my husband cooks for me. Turns out my mom was not a very good cook, and my husband is…

Thanks for all the ideas! I went with an apple dipped in peanut butter today - man, that was delicious. Probably more calories than I should have had for a snack, but they were healthy calories :)

This was exactly what I was going to say! I did day 1 yesterday, and stopped a few minutes in to grab my shoes! :)

To answer your original question - I really like the Kashi pumpkin spice flax bars. They are crunchy and healthy. They are what my trainer recommended for a post-workout snack, since some protein and carbs is good post-workout. As others suggested, a glass of chocolate milk is also really good.

I am a SAHM to my 3 1/2 year old daughter. Would love to hear how other SAHMs make it work!

We made this last night: Loaded Baked Potato Soup 4 ounces bacon, chopped (you could use turkey bacon to make it healthier) 1 onion, chopped 1 16 ounce bag frozen hash browns 1 quart whole milk 6 ounces smoked gouda Chopped chives Directions In large pot, cook bacon; reserve. Add onion; cook 5 minutes. Add hash browns;…

I'm also lactose intolerant. Over the years I have played around with different products and I have found which dairy products I can tolerate (when I take a lactaid pill) and which I can't. It might just be me, but I have found that skim milk is much easier for me to digest then whole milk (again, with a lactaid pill).…

Thanks - I just started looking at the Paleo recipes. A lot of them call for almond flour, which I don't think is kosher for Passover, but I also just dropped an email to a friend who's a rabbi to ask. It's only a week, but I really want to make it work.

I just started making recipes from her site and I've been really happy with what I've made so far! My family LOVED the slow cooker chicken tacos. Like, I've made them 3 times in the past month - my 3 year old gobbled them up! (though, I skipped the slaw that she put on it and just put tomatoes and lettuce on instead). We…

I used to keep a few of them on hand when I was temping, since I sometimes got a call in the morning and had to rush right out the door to get to a job without really having time to pack a lunch. I found that I really liked the Kashi meals - they are a lot more flavorful and filling then the Lean Cuisines.

WW assumes that you are eating at least 5-8 servings of fruit and vegetables a day. Those calories can add up pretty quickly to your total on MFP. They also assume that you are eating all of those flex points (or whatever they call them now), which add to your calorie count. That being said, I found the same thing when I…

I really like the SF vanilla Coffee Mate. I use a whopping 3 Tbsp in each large mug of coffee, and I actually pull out a measuring spoon and measure it. I am working on bringing that amount down - VERY VERY slowly. Right now I fill my measuring spoon so it's not quite full. I figure that if I put a teeny bit less in every…

Thanks everyone! Lots of really good ideas - will be going shopping tomorrow for sure (and raiding my daughter's stash of Greek yogurt until then...can you believe my 3 year old is on a yogurt kick - she eats 2-3 Chobani yogurt cups a day!). It's a bummer - and all I really want to eat is ice cream. :) I had planned on…

I don't eat eggs, so I struggle with the same thing in the morning. I found that I really like Boca sausage links. They don't look that appealing, but they taste really good. (my husband thinks that should be their slogan! :) ) The other thing I do is not eat breakfast foods for breakfast. Like, last week I made chicken…

I thought so - I've replaced it myself before - but replacing the battery caused the entire thing to go dark. When I put the old battery back, it's still dark. So sad...

Alas, I don't have a working HRM. (side note: if anyone knows how to fix my Polar F6, that would be stellar!) I am crazy sore (because, again, I am horribly out of shape) and I was breathing hard enough that I couldn't speak for most of it. Unless I caught my breath and hurled obscenities at the skinny people who were…
