ok, make sure you are stretching before walking, check your sneaks, do you need new ones? i take glucosamine everyday for healthy joints and are you taking any ibrophophen? I take 800 milligrams prescription strength. This will help reduce any swelling. as a matter of fact, I'm all out and have a call in to the doc to get…

If you aren't tracking your sodium in your food diary start doing so. There is alot of hidden sodium in foods that you will be very surprised by. Once I started on my food plan and tracking sodium, I was able to get my BP pill in half and hope to be off of it very soon.

On my food program, we are told to eat 30 to 45 g of carbs PER MEAL. The nutrionist said that denying your body of carbs only hurts you in the long run. I've switched to whole wheat pasta (1 cup) and pepperidge farm deli flats and have made other changes so that there is no white flour, no white sugar and no high fructose…

I plan my meals a few days in advance so I know what I'm buying. Always read the labels and I avoid anything that has white sugar, white flour and high fructose corn syrup. I like to buy a rotisserie chicken, pull the meat off and store in the fridge for lunch. 100 % whole wheat tortilla's, hummus, fruits and veggies of…

Oh, the whole wheat margertia pizza!! I make this at home all the time.

Nothing I like better than a really good steak. I would go for the 8 oz, ask for a take home container, cut the steak in half and bring it home to slice down the next day for a sandwich!

Not sure if quiche is close to frittata, but here is a recipe I just got. The Best Quiche Ever! INGREDIENTS: 8 ounces turkey breakfast sausage patties 1/2 onion, chopped 1 garlic clove, minced 1 1/2 cups egg beaters 2 cups fresh broccoli, chopped and steamed for 3 minuntes 1 1/2 cup skim milk 1 tbsp hot sauce, like Tapatio…

Franks may have zero calories but where is it on the sodium scale? how much hot sauce did you use?

I would be starving too if I was eating what you are eating. Take a look at my food diary. I've lost 76 lbs since october.

exercise alone without a food plan will hinder you. try cutting out any white sugar, white flour, or enriched anything and high fructose corn syrup. eat every 2 to 3 hours, make sure you eat protein for every meal. try eating more then the 1200 calories once a week.

This is an example of what I'm eating and it will be over 1200 calories 1 packet low sugar apples and cinnamon instant oatmeal mixed with 1 scoop of protein powder and water. banana for a snack lunch is 4 oz of rotisserie chicken on a whole wheat tortilla wrap, 1 tbsp hummus and a couple slices of tomato. Also 1 cup of…

4 oz of rotisserie chicken on a whole wheat tortilla with a few slices of tomato and 1 tbsp of hummus and 1 cup of steamed brocoli.

So glad to have you here with us! Christine

I made chicken stir fry last night. I sprinked a little cayenne pepper and black pepper on the chicken and then grilled it on my grill pan. Set it aside to rest before cubing it. In a wok, I put one tbsp of grapeseed oil and then put in my asian veggies (bought them already cut up from Trader Joe's) with 1 tsp sesame seeds…

I can absolutely see a difference! Keep up the great work! Christine

I loved it. Kinda sad that you realize they are all dead at the end. So one theory of mine is that when Jack died on the island, he went to this kinda alternate life where he lived until the others had died as well. It could have been another 30 years for Sawyer and Kate, for example, while Jin and Sun where already dead…

Cut out white sugar, white flour, high fructose corn syrup. Eat within 1 hour of waking up, eat every 2 to 3 hours to keep your metabolism burning fat. meals should be between 300 and 500 calories, track your sodium on here and keep it under 700 mgs per meal. snacks should be 200 calories or less. Make sure you are eating…

When I bring home fresh mushrooms (the only kind I will buy) I put them in a brown paper bag in the fridge. They last longer.

jello sugar free pudding! Only 60 calories...

We had a meatless Wednesday this week. I made bean stew with spinach and a salad on the side. Hubby didn't even realize he wasn't having meat! I try to do this once a week in some form or fashion but I can't be held to a particular day. It depends on what is in the fridge and freezer.

I think your snacks should contain more protein. I can see you like your ice cream but you aren't hitting your protein numbers and that will really help weight loss. I have a TraderJoe's near me and love their cheddar popcorn. You can have 2 cups of it and the protein+fiber+fat is more than the carbs so it makes it a great…

That is AWESOME!!!! I still have 21 lbs to reach 200 or 22 to be out of the 200's and I cannot wait~ Great job!!! Christine

yep, i usually have an issue with it too. i buy the half pitas and toast it for a minute and it seems to work a little better. This is probably why i don't buy them anymore! i just get the whole wheat tortillas from trader joes and stuffed it and fold it over.

There are "processed" foods out there that you can eat if you read the label. Stay away from anything that has white flour, enriched white flour, even enriched whole wheat, sugar, high fructose corn syrup. Trader Joe's if you have one is an awesome place to shop. Whole Foods is another one. It's takes time to shop and read…

I would do the grilled vegetable burger, enjoy the aioli but ask them to hold the fries, have a side salad instead and put whatever low fat dressing they have on the side to dip.

check out this website. there are so many salsa recipes!! http://allrecipes.com/Recipes/Appetizers-and-Snacks/Dips-and-Spreads/Salsa/Top.aspx

I looked it up in the database and white sparkling wine for 8 oz is 178 calories.

Thanks much, I'll have to play around with this and enter it into spark people to see about the nutritional info. It's nice to have a base recipe to go off of and then make it fit my food program!

They are too high in sodium for me. If you want to supplement, try picking up one of those already cooked rotisserie chickens. I pull all the meat off and store in a tupperware container in the fridge. If I don't feel like cooking, I take 4 oz of the chicken place on a whole wheat tortilla, a few slices of tomato and 1…

This is exactly what my food plan says! I eat every 2 to 3 hours, keeping my snacks at 200 calories or below and meals between 300 to 500 calories. No white sugar, no white flour. Love Luna bars and Trader Joe's Cheddar popcorn. I bring home the popcorn and break them down into ziploc bags so I'm not tempted to eat and eat…
