fresh herbs are your friend! mince fresh ginger, garlic and rub it on chicken or pork, let it marinate a few hours....yummy.Rosemary, thyme, fennel all delicious with above mentioned meats. Steak,with just a garluc rub and then fry up some red onion and mushrooms. i always buy good cuts of meat (.when i eat ut) and as long…

Welcome! I'm a mom, 2 kids 5 & 15. Got 20 pounds to shed. Basically left over from my 5 year old. Congrats on your 2 pounds.

Friend me. Im in the same boat! I think I have 4 friends lol. Im blonde...looking to be skinnier. lol

My personal experience with the 1200 calories is it didn't seem like a lot of food when I was eating the way that I "liked" to eat. But when I started getting better at shopping, preparing food I found it difficult to eat 1200 calories when I was eating an 80% alkaline/basic diet and only a 20% acidic diet and for the most…

Im new. Been posting everyday! Feel free to add me. I love to cook and have some great recipes that are satisfying and low cal. I only have 4 friends on MFP so you could have my undivided attention!

Unstuffed Cabbage Roll Soup. I used ground pork instead of the beef and turkey the recipe called for because I had it on hand. Very low cal recipe (even with the pork) 2 pound pork 1 small head of cabbage 1 red onion 1 can tomato sauce 1 large can diced tomatoes 3 cloves garlic 2 cups water (I had to add more liquid so…

OMG thank you! Why I never thought of that????? I bet you could even ask for that in a restaurant. My friends love wing night but I just can't do it.

Aacado, green onion, tomatoes and top it off with a little salsa or hot sauce. nom nom nom

I agree! Kudos for being honest. That is amazing! Now onward and upward!

Google Vegan chocolate pudding. 2 avacados raw cocoa organic agave nectar water Blend that stuff and it tastes just like chocolate pudding with good fat! My kids ate it and didn't even know!

I have signed up for the Tough Mudder next June and to be at all competitive I need to be able to run 10k. I am just getting started and my step mom (who is a long distance runner) said to start slow. You can download "how to train for a 10k" and it will tell you to walk for 6 min, run for 1. Do this 3-4 times a week.…

Looks like there aren't too many Mudders out there. It's my intention to be able to run. As much as we are going to have fun and try something new, I am really competitive (mostly with myself) and definitely do not want to be the weakest link. Cardio and upper body strength will be the things I need to work on. I've been…

38, married, 2 kids (15 & 5). Business manager and taking part time school. Need to drop 20. Feel free to add me as a friend. My biggest challenges are being consistent and carving out the time for exercise. I have a positive relationship with food but my metabolism has changed. Need to exercise.

Im 5'5" tall. 138 pounds. On my rest days I eat 1200 calories and on the days I work out between 1400-1600. I have no friends on here yet. Lol. Feel free to add me. I have made my food and exercise diary accessible to people. I love to cook and have some amazing recipes. I have trouble eating 1200 calories and I eat all…

Turning 39 in May(Gemini)! I feel the same way about wanting 40 to be stellar. Feel free to add me as a friend,

I've learned there is no reason to go hungry when you are trying to lose weight. Check out the wild rose detox. Even if you are not interested in taking the supplements the diet is amazing. I'm on day 5 of a 12 day cleanse and I've been having trouble eating all my calories and all I feel like I've been doing is eating. I…

You can Google a recipe for vegan chocolate pudding, its so good. 2 avacadoes, water, pure organic agave nectar (costco) and pure raw organic cocoa and blend it up. My kids didn't even know the difference. Not sure what the calorie count on that is but its definitely a tasty way to prepare an avacado.
