I'd say some kind of fun skewers, like fresh basil, grape tomatoe and mozz cheese cubes- colorful and fun. Otherwise shrimp cocktails are always a hit and are packed with protein

steamed or grilled asparagus with balsamic when in season, otherwise I thaw frozen edamame and roast it in the oven and lightly salt it, a good snack!

great salad ideas! I think I migh start doing that! I do the same thing with popcorn, only my bf won't eat it without butter so there's always a lot leftover- my pet mouse benefits from it!

I live with my boyfriend, and he usually eats pretty unhealthy, so it's up to me to find ways to make healthy meals that he'll actually eat. I like the method of making a larger batch of something that will last a few days- today I did chicken chop suey with tons of veg and a bit of boneless, skinless chicken breast,…

I think we get used to and comfortable with a daily routine and are afraid to step away from that since it's what we know. It feels good to be familiar with something and stick with that, going out of the comfort zone is frightening. Take baby steps, one small thing at a time

I turn mine into kind of a soup- I add milk and then salt and pepper and scoop it up with a spoon. yum! I like the bacon and cracker idea too, might try that one!

winter for me is all about brothy soups. I know it doesn't sound like a snack, but a small bowl on a cold day feels great to me! Just skip any add-ins, like crackers or sour cream. I make a great vegetable stock from boiling leftover cuttings of vegetables that I've used for cooking meals throughout the week, just keep…

wow! I love salty snacks, I'm always dipping into chips and nuts, this sounds way more healthy and tasty! I can't wait to try it with all variations!

I love the 30 day shred! I'm only 3 days into it and super sore right now, but it's a good sore! I've been logging it as circuit training, but 30 minutes instead of 20 b/c I feel like you burn more than just what 20 minutes of basic circuit training would. I guess it really depends, too on if you're using the modified…

Just wanted to note that I tried the cauliflower/potato mash and I personally loved it! No butter needed. However, my fiance hated it and said it smelled and tasted farty. I'll be making it again, for just me...

P.S. You really do not look pregnant- that woman probably needs glasses or is just all around nutty.

It sounds as though work is getting very stressful, and it seems that your well-being is not taken into consideration by your co-workers and superiors. Have you ever considered that you might be better than a position where you are being under appreciated? The only way to make a positive change 100% in your life is to only…

I don't think you should take the entire day off of your plan, but I think indulging in one meal would be fine. Really, it's your day off, having a really awesome lunch or dinner is in order once in a while when you've worked hard. Just don't go nuts, and eating whatever you want for the whole day doesn't sound like a good…

Some really sexy Vicky's undies/bra set, and I've always wanted to look good in a cute bikini

Well, if I have quite a few calories left, I usually indulge in the following: Beer (or vodka w/diet soda), pickle chips and/or dark chocolate (usually individually wrapped little bites, but I also love any super dark organic chocolate- no cheap waxy plain Hershey bar for me!) or any with dried fruit or nuts in it. Once in…

Haha, I have one of those at my work. If she even hears you're on a diet or trying to eat better, she seems to have a grudge on you and says things like "You don't even need to eat healthy," or "Just eat one! It's not going to do anything." It drives me insane, especially since we also have tons of junk food around the…

1. Boneless, skinless chicken breasts (organic is best but not cheap!) 2. Frozen spinach 3. canned beans (mostly black beans, fat free refrieds, canellini, kidney, and garbanzos). Low-sodium is best, otherwise rinse well. 4. canned low sodium tomatoes, any variety 5. tofu 6. raw almonds 7. a variety of vinegars (red wine,…

True, my fiance eats a ton of fast food (he never gains weight but moves around a lot) so I'm always getting sucked in. I used to eat a whole chicken chalupa meal to myself (it comes w/2 chicken chalupas, a taco and a giant soda), but the fresco menu, even though not as healthy as eating something at home, is helpful in…

I do this too. When I have one slip-up, like fast food for lunch or a few drinks after work, I feel like I've ruined my whole daily log and don't finish it. Then I feel bad the next day because I know I'm only cheating myself, and it puts me in a bad mindset where I consider just forgetting about eating well and working…

I'm going grocery shopping tonight and now I won't be able to stop looking in other people's carts!!! I'm nosy anyway, though.

I like to use just some skim milk and a little Smart Balance, but then to add more flavor I mash in one or two of the following: 1 chipotle chili with a little adobo oven-roasted garlic a few TB. horseradish a few TB. of feta, bleu cheese or goat cheese (don't go overboard on cheese, though!) dijon mustard honey mustard a…

When I'm stuck indoors and unable to go to the gym, I clean my house at a good pace (scrubbing the tub works my arms!), and I also have a stationary bike that I use. I'm also a fan of workout DVDs!

I just got a copy, too. We'll see how it goes! Looks hard!

Healthy snacks I like: any cut up, raw veg (especially cucumber!) usually plain but once in a while w/a sprinkle of sea salt cold cannelli bean salad (the beans, parsley, raw tomato and a little corn) or other simple bean salads a piece of rye or whole-wheat toast w/a little Smart Balance spread a little bit of almond…

No way you're the oldest there- when I was in college we had a 60-something year old in one of my classes, and there were plenty of moms who decided to wait until their children were moved out to go back to college! My aunt is 40-something and is still taking classes here and there- it's great to be a student for life, not…

Sounds like something I would be into- I might give it a try. They should have more exercises available for logging!

Snack on foods that have very little calories but are still filling. When I'm hungry in between meals I snack on sliced cucumbers, strips of green, yellow or red peppers, and apples. They take the edge off of my hunger and keep me from eating high-calorie junk.

B: my 4 egg white +1 C. broccoli + 1/8 C. lowfat cheddar breakfast scramble (minimal salt and lots of fresh cracked pepper) L: 6" Subway ham sub on wheat, no cheese, lots of veg with a little brown mustard (I did NOT like that, so I tried to scrape most of it off), a Diet Pepsi and an individual bag of plain baked Lays S:…

I eat them once in a while as snacks at work to curb my appetite when I get really hungry and there are donuts or other sweets on the back counter. It's usually enough to keep me from eating something worse for me but I agree that fruit is more filling and satisfying overall.

An egg white scramble with 4 egg whites, 1 cup of broccoli and 1/8 C. low fat mild cheddar I would have loved some coffee with that but we're out of filters!
