I keep to my healthy diet for breakfast and lunch, but dinner is pretty much whatever I want on the weekends now that I'm below my goal weight. If my son is having spaghetti and meatballs, I'll have spaghetti and "meat"balls (I don't eat red meat, so I have faux meatballs). I figure that I'm so good during the week and…

...have logged on for 50+ days in a row.

OMG the Oats and Peanut Butter bars are to DIE for! And they, um, help you the next morning, what with all that fiber in them... :bigsmile:

"Quakes" Caramel Corn Mini Rice Cakes. They have a satisfying crunch to them and are sweet without busting your diet. They are MUCH better than regular caramel corn rice cakes!

Cheesy Zucchini Enchiladas Servings: 4 1 enchilada (or 1/4 casserole) is only 194cals and 4g of fat. * cooking spray * 1 tsp olive oil * 2 cloves garlic, crushed * 1/4 cup cilantro, chopped * 2 medium zucchinis, grated * kosher salt and fresh ground pepper * 1 1/2 cups Kraft Fat Free Shredded Cheddar Cheese * 4 Ole…

I buy them at Whole Foods along with their organic salsa and hummus.

The Buffalo Wing flavoured ones are dangerous. Very very dangerous. ;-)

Guiltless Gourmet's Baked Unsalted Tortilla Chips are heavenly! I eat them with salsa and I don't even miss the extra salt. Good luck! :-)

I didn't say it was *easy* I just said it worked! *giggle* By the end of the week, I ate my zucchini enchiladas like I hadn't eaten in a month!

Thank you! I am just a few pounds away from my goal now and my size 6s fit like a dream! The app suggested seeds and nuts on the shopping list, but I omitted them as I do not like seeds or nuts a lot. Sunflower seeds are yummy, but others, not so much. Good luck on your goals, and remember that cheating should be part of a…

Right? Today was the monthly birthday party at my office and there were a ton of variety cookies and two bite brownies. Well, the brownies are only two bites if you eat one and oatmeal raisin cookies are my crack. Needless to say it was not a good diet day. I try to do my part for the office by keeping a candy jar full or…

I should have mentioned that in my OP: I got it off an app (Diet2Go) and it was about 600-700cals per days. It's only to be done for a week. :-) I'm just under my caloric goals now, by maybe 100-200, but keep in mind I do exercise 60-90mins almost every day. I can pretty much eat almost anything I want now, but I keep any…

Great NSVs everyone! Sometimes we overlook the little things that are actually so big, progress wise. My NSV is when my boyfriend picked me up and carried me to the bedroom. It should be said that he has a bad shoulder and a bad knee. I was afraid that I was hurting him but he assured me that I weighed "almost nothing"…

How awesome!! My guy told me I'm getting bony, but I only have 4 more to go, so he'll just have to deal. Keep up the wonderful work and pretty soon that R&R won't include much R-ing. ;-)

Well, if you start doing lunges and weighted squats, your muscles will bulk up first and then start to slim down as the new muscle starts burning the old fat. It's only for a week or two, depending on how vigilant you are. Don't worry, it's not for long!

Lunges and weighted squats workl for me and my Polish thighs. :wink: Just remember, you'll get bigger before you get smaller. It's frustrating, but brief.

Ugh. I've always battled with my weight, weighing in at 185 at age 12. I slimmed down at 16 by abusing diet pills and eating almost nothing at all, but I managed to get to a healthy weight by age 20. Then I got pregnant. Due to health problems during my pregnancy, I gained over 100lbs. I had preeclampsia and retained water…

Before I started working out, the dinner plates were the first thing to "go", and I dropped a good deal of weight just by making that small change. Now, granted, I do cheat and use the large space for spaghetti when I choose to make it, but it's not often. Nice to know I'm not alone! :smile:

I go to WalMart in the baby/toddler section and buy the sectional plates. The large space is the veggies, the medium space is the meat (if any), and the small section is or sauce or dressing (dipping stuff). For example, a typical dinner for me is steamed veggies (large), a packet of tuna (medium), and a tbsp or two of…

I have been on the Depo shot for about 2 years now and I love it. I don't have to remember to take anything every day and I have a two week window in which to get it done. I choose the first possible day because I'm slightly paranoid, but to each their own. ;-) I used to get periods that would soak through overnight pads…

had plastic surgery! I want a Mommy Makeover so badly. :-)

Another girl here! I'm 5'7" and 138.6 but my goal is 128-130. I've always had really thick thighs and I'm working out and eating right to try to get the jiggle to take a hike. This time last year I was 160lbs, but P90X helped me get down to what I am now. I just need to keep going! I found the MyFitnessPal app to be…
