My favorite Greek yogurt is either Fage Non-Fat Plain or Wallaby Organic Non-Fat Plain. They are both thick and creamy and are packed with protein with low calories (1 cup = 23g of protein, 130 calories). I like to either mix it with honey, cinnamon, and fruit or with low-sodium taco seasoning and dip bell pepper strips in…

I never used to like eggs either. Now I love them scrambled with peppers, onions, spinach, tomatoes, feta, and salsa!

I love making taco dip for parties. All I do is mix in a 8oz container of plain no-fat Greek yogurt, 8oz container of Neufchatel cheese or reduced fat cream cheese, and a package of taco seasoning. Then put the mixture in a casserole dish and layer lettuce, shredded Mexican cheese, and salsa on top. It's always a hit and…

I also make pizzas using the 90 calorie light Italian Flatouts. It makes a great thin, crispy crust. I usually make 2 for me. I top them each with a quarter cup of all-natural pizza sauce, chopped veggies (usually green peppers, tomatoes, and/or spinach), and feta cheese. My boyfriend likes shredded mozzarella on his, it…

Zucchini pizza boats! To make, just slice some zucchinis lengthwise (each makes two boats) and scrape out the soft, seedy inside. Top with pizza sauce, cheese and whatever toppings strike your fancy. Pop them in the oven on a cookie sheet for 25-30 minutes at 350 degrees. This a delicious, low carb side that most everyone…

This seems unrealistic. I got my period when I was ten. I was only about 5'2" at the time and probably about 100 lbs. I am now 5'6." It would be totally unreasonable, not to mention unhealthy, for me to weigh 100 lbs now.

Honestly, different birth control medications affect everyone differently. It seems like a lot of people like the Nuvaring, but I gained weight terribly on it. I also had issues with the patch. I loved Yaz, but after all the scary health stuff that came out on it, I got nervous and went off of it. Now, I'm on Seasonale,…

Hello! I live in Novi! I am pretty active here and like to support my friends and have them support me. Feel free to add me!

Your band size may decrease, but your cup size may not! I was surprised to find I went from a 36DD to a 32DDD. That boggled my mind! Unfortunately, finding bras is now very difficult...and expensive.

I live in Novi, just on the border of Wixom and Walled Lake.

When I want a low-cal pizza, I just take a FlatOut brand (I prefer Multi-Grain with Flax Seed) flatbread, top it with sauce, veggies, and cheese, and pop it in the oven for 15 minutes at 350. Makes a really yummy thin, crispy crust.

This guy sounds like a mega-douche! I am jealous of your size! I went from a 36DD to a 32DDD because my band size shrank a lot more than my cup size. I am NOT looking forward to going bra shopping now! I'm NEVER going to find bras on sale. :(

I'm 5'6" at 137 pounds. 36 - 27 - 36 I usually wear a US 6 right now, depending on brand.

When I make zucchini lasagna, I replace the ricotta with a mixture of 2 cups fat-free plain Greek yogurt, a head of chopped broccoli, and a 1/2 cup of reduced-fat or fat free shredded mozzarella. It tastes really similar to ricotta and is so much healthier and full of protein!

If you are an ice cream fan. check out Arctic Zero. A whole pint is only 150 calories. While it doesn't taste exactly like ice cream, I think it is a pretty good alternative. Its ingredients are pretty reasonable too.

It seems that you eat at buffets quite frequently. One thing I have found helpful is only allowing myself veggies on my first plate. I make a big garden salad. Most buffets usually have a pretty extensive salad bar so you can make some really yummy, health salads (as long as you don't load on the croutons, cheese, and…

Starting Level 3 today. So far I've lost a total of 8.5 inches and 5 lbs. Keep in mind that I have not been doing it for a straight 30 Days. I do the DVD 3-4 times per week while mixing in other cardio and strength training (mostly Zumba, walking, and lifting). Even though this has taken about 2 months, I'm still pretty…

It probably depends on how old you are already and how much you have to lose, like others have said. Apparently it has made me look younger. I will be 25 next month and got carded for a Rated R movie a few weeks ago! I couldn't believe it!

My favorites are the Coconut Cashew and Chocolate Peanut Butter.

I usually try to find a similar dish already on MFP for a different restaurant. I prefer to do this because usually restaurants use much more oil, butter, and salt in their dishes, than if you made the same dish at home, so using another restaurant's nutritional information for a similar dish would likely be more accurate.…

This is my favorite recipe with zucchini and squash. It replaces lasagna noodles with zucchini and squash and the ricotta with a mixture of Greek yogurt, chopped broccoli and shredded cheese (it says use raw shredded goat cheese, but I just use low-fat or fat free shredded mozzarella cheese).…

How many servings are in this?

Greek yogurt instead of sour cream Bananas instead of flour Thin strips of zucchini instead of lasagna noodles Pizza made with cauliflower crust or FlatOuts Lettuce wraps instead of tortillas Spaghetti squash, shirataki noodles, or spiraled zucchini instead of spaghetti Homemade baked mozzarella sticks with panko or flax…

Yes I can get a little preachy too, especially when my mom says she wishes she could lose weight too because she doesn't want to do the work, just whine about it.
-
I didn't realize how big I really looked until I saw how shocked people looked who hadn't seen me in a while. Also, I am starting to annoy my boyfriend and family because I constantly talk about food lol.
-
This may sound weird, but I like to mix salsa in it. Kind of like a taco dip. It's also a great replacement for sour cream.
-
One of my favorites is Vegetarian Black Bean Chili. One cup is only 184 calories, so you can eat two servings for under 400. It's so filling with all the veggies, that I can rarely eat more than a 1 and 1/2 servings though. Nutrition Facts: 1 serving= 1 cup Makes 6 servings Calories: 184 calories Fat: 0.6g Carbs: 34.3g…
