that is so frustrating! My daughter has no will power, either. I told her today to put her head phones on and listen to her music. One song usually gets me on my feet. I was going to do 10 minutes on the eliptical and ended up doing half an hour. I have never managed that long before. Every time you feel like eating make…

another thing for all you new moms or moms again. It took nine months to put the weight on it will take that to take it off again. (At least give yourself that much time) if you do it faster that's great, but if not, it at least was put there in the first place for a good cause. That is the advice my mom gave me…

I have been on this site since Jan. I was slowly gaining weight even though I am an active person. Not eating breakfast and my diet was high in protein and fat. When I started tracking my food in all categories and having to be accountable for every morsel that reaches my mouth. Calories in, calories out. It showed me why…

Once in a while it is okay to go over in your fat, but if you make it a habit it will take a lot longer to lose weight.

anything with bean sprouts might be good and stay away from sauces. Good luck! If you haven't had a cheat day for a while, just try to keep it within reason, I mean you are eating out and you are having chinese! Enjoy. winwin

congratulations! You are doing great. keep up the good work. and you had a ceasar salad. My favorite. winwin

this sounds so good. thanks.

I'm curious what the new job is. I'm at that place in my life too. Seems to be a year of major change for a lot of people I know. I hope it is all you want it to be and keeps you happy and challenged for a long time. Congratulations! winwin

yes, those days, I put on my headphones and block out the other noises. By the time the first song is finished I am ready to work it. I like what nopogal said about failure and success. How many times do we let ourselves fail because it's easier. I didn't even realize how many times I have done it with a good excuse, when…

this is beautiful! Thanks for sharing. I hope my heart is full of jagged edges and rough patches. winwin

This recipe sounds so easy and so scrumpcious! Thank you for sharing. I used to put mashed up peas in chocolate muffins to get my kids to eat more veggies. (Of course, they never knew.) This is great! Leslie

thank you for your responses. I looked at the web site, but couldn't find the dressing ingredients. Sent an email asking them for it, so we will see if they tell me. thanks again

I had a veggie sub from subway last night. Every time I have one I can't get over how delicious the subway dressing is. Does anyone know what is in it or care to guess? It sort of tastes like cole slaw dressing. I would love to make a salad with dressing like that.

thank you thank you, will check this out.

Sgtinvincible I can't find any info about this and don't know what you are suggesting? Where can I find it and what is it called. Thanks for the suggestion. Does it taste like peanut butter?

anybody love peanut butter like I do? I usually have a samosa salad, but my daughter can't stop eating them and goes over her limit for the day, so she asked me to please not make them any more. I love them in a salad because with lots of lettuce, I usually use about three cups and different fillers, I can munch for a long…

I just made homemade veggie burgers and went on this site to calculate the nutritional information. It is so much faster, easier, and yes I find it pretty accurate. http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp good luck. I just spent the day cutting and cooking all my veggies and measuring them and putting them…

I have a salad I love that is vegetarian and completely unique. 2 cups lettuce 1 tomato 6 small vegetable samosa, cut into bite sizes. 1/2 cup of cottage cheese just mix this all together, the cottage cheese acts as a dressing. very filling and very tasty. I would eat it any time of day. calories - 229 carbs - 27 fat - 4…

I hope you start feeling better soon. It sucks when you have to go and get multiple tests done. Good luck on your eating plans for today.

Every once in a while I have a day like this. I think our bodies need it to let go of stubborn pounds, but only about once every month or six weeks, and maybe not soooo much. Next time allow yourself half that and add some fruits or veggies with it and drink lots of water to help wash it through. Yay, for cheat days! Start…
-
Yes, eat those calories. Otherwise you will hit a plateau and those aren't fun! Good luck!
-
I tried to do a quick search so i could give you the cals and carbs, but can't find it. My daughter asked this once and someone suggested an asparagus fritatta. She was so grateful and it was so good, she still eats them quite often. Add a little cheese and any other veggie with egg beaters. So delicious and surprisingly…

I like the idea of a cat treadmill. Brady jumped on ours once when it was getting set up and rode it right until he fell off! We've talked about a big hamster ball that would fit them too, my last hamster used to use his to sleep in lol. That would be Rusty. Thank you every body for your interesting posts. All the stories…

my daughter always asks me to throw things away or hide them, mind you she usually finds them again. Try to think of something to replace what you're craving. If its chocolate maybe some chocolate covered granola bar or low fat chocolate pudding etc. Or fill the time with exercise like you are, that's good too and lots of…

Here is a story for pet lovers everywhere. My cat is almost fourteen. He has had crystals twice before the age of two (which is apparently pretty young) I used to give him a popular brand of food which you would have thought would be good for him. Now he gets his food from the vet to control the crystals. My daughter got a…

this is a very tricky situation. She is still very young. When my daughter (now 18) was in her early teens she decided to become vegetarian, but on her conditions. She didn't like many vegetables and ate fruit with lots of sugar on it, no eggs, or other protein, so I had to be pretty sneaky and make some foods when she…

I made a simple stir fry for supper last night. This is what I do. I go to one of my meals that has nothing logged and type in the full amount of ingredients for the whole recipe. 2 cups of bean sprouts 1cup of rice 1 cup of boiled baby carrots 1tbsp of peanut sauce * then I go to view report where it shows all your…
