I ALWAYS keep ginger chews/peppermints on hand! They really have saved me in a pinch!

Anyone have a yummy recipe for hummus? I just got a new mini food processor that would be perfect for it!!

Thanks for sharing!!!! I live in CO so I am totally familiar with how yummy addictive, and kind of pricey Lara bars can be! I can't wait to make them at home with my new mini food processor! :)

So maybe if I drink more water/watch my sodium intake, things will even themselves out?

Yeah, I'm weighing myself at the same time of day each time......and before I eat breakfast.

I wear mine because of what it represents to me and what it shows the world. I am proud to be married to my husband and I feel like it is the crowning achievement of our relationship, a place we both worked hard to get to and now we can both find peace in knowing that we will always be together for the rest of our lives.…

yum!!!!! I sure do have cookies on the brain lately! Mmmm....Thanks for sharing!

I also shop at Sprouts Market........I agree, the produce at Walmart is no bueno!!!! I don't know why that is the case EVERY time! I find that their fruit is slightly better than their vegetables for some reason............but I rarely shop there, only to pick up things, which thankfully, isn't often!!

Oh I absolutely LOVE Dorset Cereal!!!!!! I used to live in Dorset and became obsessed with the stuff! Yum! Too bad it's a bit more pricey here in the States than it was in the UK. Seriously, any of their varieties are good!

I'm making this today!!! Yum yum!

ooooh these look gooooood! I have a thing for green chili ever since I visited Santa Fe!!! YUM! Thanks for sharing.

My absolute FAVORITE nut butters are those made by Justin's!!!!!!! Seriously, I am obsessed!

Um, wow......I have no words.

I second the Hunter Boots----I live in a state that is notorious for LOTS of snow, and this fit the bill perfectly!! I also got some hunter wellie socks........they come in a variety of colors and are necessary for keeping your feet warm!

I too, am finding it hard to stay motivated lately......Hang in there! Weight loss won't be as easy as it was putting it on. Heck, if it was easy than everyone in the world could do it! Sorry to hear that you're having a hard time........it's easy to let your weight go during times like this as you have other priorities.…

I can't tell you how much I miss English sweets!!!!! Especially cadbury whole nut! And maltesers...........oh the list goes on and on. Mincemeat tarts and mulled wine were always my downfall at this time of year! I hear ya on the advent calendar.....I just bought one too, but I'm going to keep it. Plus, my husband can help…

Thanks everyone for your replies! I have now logged it......sadly, it is not a regular part of my daily routine! If it was, things would be a lot cleaner around here! ha.

Ooh I'm interested in this topic too! Bump

I just had a HUGE spinach salad with mushrooms, carrots, a couple of croutons, some sliced chicken breasts, and low cal Italian dressing and I feel like I just overdosed on salad! I'm beyond stuffed! It felt like a marathon lunch! ha. It isn't easy eating only 1200 calories without exercising......but it is possible. It…

Yum!! This sounds really good! Thanks for sharing! Oh, how long do you bake them for????

So you don't have to boil the ravioli first before putting it in the baking dish?

Anytime I'm craving a soda, I grab some flavored seltzer water---like the kind made by Canada Dry. They have all kind of flavors from Raspberry to Cranberry Lime. There's no calories and no weird artificial sweeteners either! They make it in 2L and can form......I find that little bit of carbonation and subtle flavor does…

Yum! That sounds yummy!! Really, everyone's recipes sound good! Mmmm....can't wait to try them all!

Pinterest is the best thing ever! I find it even more addicting than Facebook! ha. It's a great place to get a lot of ideas---recipes included!

My recipes are kind of all over the place--the ones that look good online, I've bookmarked. The ones from magazines and ones that people have given me, go into a huge file box with tabs.......and lastly, those recipes which are awesomely amazing, go down in handwritten form in my 'winners' book. Not to mention my cookbook…

Awesome! Good for you!! :smile:

What about a split pea soup?? It makes great leftovers and it's filling thanks to the fiber and protein. I'm trying this recipe this week! yum! http://www.food.com/recipe/curried-split-pea-soup-282654

Hi there! I've had IBS ever since I was in my early teens.......and I'm 30 now. At times it has felt like something that I'll never understand its rhyme or reason! I keep with me a steady supply of ginger chews or peppermints for flare ups. I think it's something that all of us will have to learn to not overcome, but…

Yum!!! This looks delicious!!! And funny enough, I have everything that it calls for! Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
