Yes,,, I "deconstruct" my homemade recipes and list each ingredient seperately.

I had those same thoughts Friday night while eating my "cheat meal" in a restaurant. " We are leaving all this food on our plates while people in Haiti are eating (if they are lucky), dry nutritional 'biscuits' thrown at them from a truck."

Not all fat is created equal. If the fat is coming from healthy sources such as almonds or avocados, then I would not worry about it.

It happens to me when I wear running shoes on the eliptical. I bought some lighter more flexible shoes and this helps.

On cool evenings, I prefer a peeled chopped apple sprinkled with cinnamon and Splenda. Zap it in the microwave and top it with a bit of whipped topping and a tablespoon of your favorite granola or cereal ( I use Kashi Go Lean crunch cereal)

Dear Totally Frustrated, I was frustrated too. My efforts were going unrewarded ( little or no weight loss) even after weeks of hard work. I went to the doctor and found out I have LOW thyroid function. I have an appt. with an endocrinologist, and hopefully with proper treatment I will start to see results.

Congratulations! Men are usually able to lose weight at a faster rate than women (especially MIDDLE-AGED women). You have a very good point regarding increasing every day activity instead of just waiting for scheduled "workouts".

I agree it takes time to see a real FAT loss. I have been very diligent with exercise (400-600 calories 5X per week) and eating 1200-1400 calories a day ( not using the extra calories earned for exercising) and have lost 4 1/2 pounds in 4 1/2 weeks. I am in my late 40's and need to lose the 25 + pounds I've gained in the…

That's fantastic! You're instilling healthy habits in your girls AND instead of vegging out in front of the television or computer, they get to spend quality time in the great outdoors with mom.

I forgot an ingredient in the above recipe: sliced onions.

My husband and I are both using this site and we just came up with this recipe: Place tilapia fillets (or other mild fish) in a large skillet, top with a can of diced tomatoes and some sliced mushrooms and sliced jalapenos (optional). Simmer until fish flakes easily. We sprinkled a teaspoon of parmesan cheese over each…

Peel and chop an apple (or peach), place in a dish, sprinkle with a teaspoon or two of Splenda and a dash of cinnamon, toss, and place in microwave for a few minutes. Top with a tablespoon of your favorite granola (or slivered almonds). If you have calories left to spend, top with lowfat vanilla yogurt.
