Get one of those Green Bags. I found that the avacadoe that I had cut in half lasted over 4 days in the fridge in Green Bag.

I use stevia. It is no cal and natural. It tastes a bit like Nutra Sweet but with none of the bad stuff. I find Krisda brand tastes the most natural.

Deviled eggs for sure.

Sounds sort of like a greek salad of some sort.

I have heard from Dr Oz that cinnamon can help with regulating sugers in the blood and maybe help with wieght loss. I have been using it in my water and on my oatmeal. I can say from experience that three tbs+ of cinnamon a day will not kill you. :happy: Can't say how much weight I've lost since I had no scale that went…

Way to go. Congrats.

We are happy to have you here but I agree about changing your call name. You have to stop trash talking yourself in order to change your inner perceptions of yourself. If you call yourself pathetic you will make that the image you see when you look at yourself. It took me a long time to realize that my distructive inner…

I first recomend going to a doctor and see if there was any serious damage done. Second I recomend swimming. Lot less stress on your joints.

I love almond milk, unsweetened, vanilla, chocolate and regular. They all taste good to me. Unsweetened is best for using to make your own salad dressing. Just toss some onion, avacado, garlic and what ever else you like into a magic bullet and blend till smooth then dump on your salad. Can come pretty close to a ranch or…

I toss them into a five bean chicken or turkey chili. It can be a nice low cost meal when you buy most of your beans dried and soak them overnight then toss them with the browned poultry burger in the slow cooker with some chopped tomatoes and tomato sauce.

I have PCOS but I have never had a problem with taking off wieght when I stuck to eating better. I would recomend maybe chatting with a Dr or looking it up online. There might be some more help out there. I also recomend adding a lot of cinnamon to your diet. It helps to regulate how fast carbs turn to sugar in the blood…

I agree with shake and bake. But if you don't mind the sodium content you could bake them in a low cal mushroom soup base. Makes a good gravy after you fish the legs out of it.

Thanks. That was some good advice.

I have found that firming up the muscles will make for a bit of an increase in size for a short time. Since the muscles are firmer under the fat it seems to make the fat on top stand out a bit more instead of blending like it used to. Just my opinion.

I can't say much on eating or not eating your calories burned but I will tell you that your still on the right track. I too have had weight issues all my life and I have tried and failed many times but came to the realization that as long as I pick my self off dust my self off and get back on the wagon I will succeed on…

If you have access to a pool I would sugest running in the pool to lessen the impact on your knees. Joints don't heal well when they are injured so I would want to protect them for future use. Spin Classes actually would burn more calories than running and be easier on the joint too. For a good burn with less impact maybe…

Eating a good protion of your calories for breakfast is a good idea since we can burn off those calories during the day and it helps to make you feel full for longer. Keep the fruit your eating but use it as snaks.

I personally didn't gain any new insites from the lady that I saw who was supposed to be a nutritionist. I took my log sheets from this site and she told me I wasn't getting enough calories and gave me a Canadain food guide and some sheets that had about all the info I already knew. Someone that a person pays might be a…

Imagine something totally gross happened to the food. A sneeze on it or something even worse. Picture it in total detail till you just about start to feel sick. I find it can cut down on cravings. If you do indulge just stick with small portions.

I can totally understand what your going through. I myself was suffering the same thing for the last couple of days. Totaly blew my calorie goals. But I had to remind myself why I was dieting. For me it is literally Do or Die. If I continue down the road I was on I was looking into an early grave. Change from that path and…

Welcome. :)

According to my Tia Chi instructor Tia Chi is a form of exercise that will strengthen the muscles that support the joints without putting too much strain on the joints themselves. It also will teach you how to stand and walk in a way that will improve hip, knee and foot pain. It is not a heavy hitting exercise for calories…

Brown basmati rice with mushrooms, a half can of mushroom soup and toss in some frozen veg.

I'm blowing it with spagetti and meat sauce. And of course one (ot two) iced cupcakes for Valentines. Back in the saddle tomorrow.

Absolutly true. Thanks for posting.

Welcome to the site. Sounds like your motivated to get into the size you've got your eyes on. Best wishes Brenda

I'm wondering if it is ok for your breastfeeding to try to lose the weight too fast after all the baby is needing nutritious milk. Just wondering since I have no babies of my own. Maybe your Dr or Pedietriton could let you know.

I have to wonder how many morbidly obese people the military would let in to train. Fact is to get into the military you have to pass a stringent physical so that you don't drop dead during training. I think that taking someone who's body, heart and lungs are totaly out of shape and are smothered in layers of fat and…

Unless you live in a really small town you might want to ask at your local health food store. Even if they don't have them most places will order them in. And it should save you shipping costs.

What does MFP tell you?
