  • I would suggest multigrain pita chips and higher calorie veggies (such as carrots) with hummus. This may not get you to the exact calorie count but if you have multiple smaller snacks it may work. Plus its super healthy and very tasty.
  • I have always known that support was key to successful weight loss. To be able to know and talk to people struggling with the same things you are. I wrote my first ever blog on here last night.

Just be careful of serving size with the salmon. Remember 3 oz is about the size of the palm of your hand or a deck of playing…
  • I recently divorced my husband who I had been with for 15 years. Just as most of you have mentioned he was the type that could eat whatever he wanted and not gain a pound. He was a very good cook and I just kept adding on the lbs. I hit my heaviest weight right after the divorce. I decided that it was time to focus on…
