Ok so I see everyone saying don't worry about natural sugar from fruits and such. But what is the difference. I have heard that sugar is sugar is sugar. Does your body really respond to it differently?

I am sticking to my diet and actually enjoying it. I am eating foods with a lot of protein and aiming for 80-100 grams of protein a day which I have to say has given me more energy than ever! I used to hit this slump every day where I really felt like I needed a nap and now that is nonexistent. I also work out 5 days a…

Hey everybody! I'm Jordan! Height- 5'6" SW- 176 CW-165 GW- 140

I go for Greek yogurt. I like to add in pb and bananas and even some chocolate chips if I have the room! Yum!

I'm in! Add me!! I net 1200 but with exercise eat an average of 1600.

I made egg white muffins this week. Some peppers, onion, no salt seasoning and then eggs whites in a muffin tin. Then baked. I made them in the evening and store them in the fridge and pop a couple in the microwave each morning. Super delicious!!

have you ever tried greek yogurt? that's a great snack and full of protien. I eat the fage brand sometimes I get plain and add in my own fruit or other times I get the kinds with a sidecart of jam. Delicious. I also snack on string cheese. Or a cracker (such as wheat thins) and some sliced chese. As far as tastes adjusting…

What??? I love cranberry juice :(

and ps my scarf was worn with a grey sweater! navy yellow and grey, good combo!!

oh man now I want to go shopping ;)

yes it is a scarf with an oversized sweater! about my favorite outfit ever! scarf is from a little boutique around here! can't get enough scarfs!!

great idea! I have used those pouches before didn't even think of that!

yes oh my!! pinterest is about the closest thing to heaven on earth ;) dont know what i'd do without it!

Oh man I make a "salsa chicken" that's about the best thing ever! very similar to yours! my sister must have it everytime she comes to visit ;)

hahaha true!! I appreciate you posting none the less! we each have our own opinions! :)

Thanks and I did just what you said! Counted the whole bottle!! Because of my schedule I make things in the crock pot about 2 times a week. If I didn't dinner wouldn't be until 8 o'clock lol!! If you have any time I would love some new healthy quick crock pot recipes!! :)

Yes yes! next time I will use much less salad dressing! The recipe called for a bottle so that is what i went with this time!! also once I actually broke this up into a nice size portion for myself (6 portions from the meal) it was only 5 calories from the meal so wasn't too bad! I was only curious because my crockpot was…

I find that my sarcasm does not translate via computer (duh). anyways I was not really insulted by your comment! Just didn't find it particularly helpful in this scenario! I love cooking and while I may not be up to par with you, was just looking for a little advice about a recipe I used today, and already ate (so the…

I actually counted the whole bottle in my recipe and included that number into my calorie count for the day which is why I was concerned. If I only ate a small portion of those calories I would rather know that then not know that and eat way below my calories for the day! I too would just like an informed answer that would…

^this brought me a good laugh!!

I actually cook quite a bit and a LOT of the things that I cook are from scratch. This was a recipe that I used from a friend, because I was in a bind and needed something to cook in a pinch with ingredients that I happened to have on hand. It actually had a lot of good flavor but if I would have realized that it was going…

fage greek yogurt is my favorite! It is like eating a decadent dessert and full of protein too! I also like string cheese, or apples with peanut butter

^^^^This is exactly true!! Too many people focus on exersise as a way to loose weight. In my opinion this isn't really true. Working out should be to get your body more in shape and gain all the health benefits that come from regular exercise. Also, if you just eat right and don't work out, you might not look too pretty at…
