I love their cheese curds. I am sure there are better ones out there, but man those things are good. I choose not to look at the nutritional info on those. Sometimes its just better not to know. :smiley:

My kids and I had eggs, smoked sausage and avocado slices for breakfast this morning. Super easy and quick. Other mornings I cook bacon and we all have two slices with our eggs. We also love doing a spinach mushroom and goat cheese omelet. I usually use a few eggs and then add a little bit of egg whites. You can really…

Do you have a HRM? While they are not 100% accurate, they are a great tool to have when using MFP. If I burn 600 calories I will eat some of it back. If I burn 250 calories the next day, I won't. I have been maintaining for over two years now, and its worked for me. That's great your getting a food scale. IMO, a HRM and a…

Flat out pizza with marinara sauce, mini pepperonis, shredded mexican cheese, and banana peppers. Sprinkled with crushed red peppers.

I love OPA Greek yogurt ranch (in the produce section). It's 60 calories per 2 tablespoons. They have a few other flavors, as well. I didn't like the dill one as much. I just saw where Hidden Valley came out with a greek yogurt ranch too. I'm looking forward to trying that one.

42 here. If you don't have them already, purchase a food scale and a HRM. IMO, they are necessary tools to get the maximum benefits from MFP. I lost about 10 lbs over two years ago and have kept it off ever since. You can do it! :smile:

I haven't made those flat out pizzas in a while. Thanks for the reminder! It's on the grocery list now. I love making these for lunch for me and my kids.

No More Trouble Zones, Banish Fat Boost Metabolism and Six Week Six Pack. These are my three favorites. I have tried most of her workout videos, but these are the three that I enjoy the most.

You don't have to risk a "hormone imbalance" to achieve a 6 pack as a female. I consume about 2000 calories a day and exercise about 3/4 times a week and have been able maintain a pretty tight stomach with visible abs, even after having 2 kids (via c-section) and being over 40. The key finding what works for you so your…

There are also a lot new options for easy meals in the frozen section, other than the Lean Cuisines, etc. They have those bags of veggies, chicken and sauce you can throw together in a skillet. That way your not having to heat up everyone an individual dinner.

How do you hard boil an egg in the microwave? inquiring minds what to know! :smile: I have a hard enough time trying to not make them explode when I use my poacher. Do you put it in water and bring it to a boil?

Donate it. Plus, you will have more room for all your new clothes.

dang it, I don't like this song and I can't reach the thumbs down button.

I agree with the above, but I guess the same argument could be made for yogurt cups, cottage cheese cups, pudding cups, protein bar wrappers, etc. I need to look into getting one of the reusable k-cup to use. I enjoy the convenience of just making one cup of coffee at a time, so using the reusable cup helps with cost, as…

I've seen the Dark Magic. I'll have to try that one. Thanks!
-
I tried a reusable one, but it didn't work to well. What brand refillable cup to you use?
-
not those types of cups. :wink: :smiley: (this really made me lol)

Goldfish are a good salty snack. My kids love them. They have lots of different flavors now. We like to mix them together in a ziploc bag. The serving size is about 55 fish/ 140 calories.

This was my first thought when I saw this post. :smile:

I like using cayenne pepper and crushed red pepper to help make my food spicier without adding any additional sodium than my recipe already calls for. If we are grilling I will grill some jalapeno peppers to eat with my meal. I still like to use Texas Pete and other hot sauces, but this works really well since I like to…

I was wondering this too. :smiley:
-
yes! This was me about two years ago. Right before my 40th birthday. I was not overweight, but I just didn't feel as good as I knew I could. I was a bit soft and didn't like how I was feeling in my clothes. I lost about 10/15 lbs and lowered my BF%. I have been maintaining now for over two years and feel great. You can do…

Have you ever tried soy nut butter? There is a brand at most grocery stores called WOW Butter. It taste really good and has the same texture as peanut butter. It has 7 grams of protein per 2 tablespoons.

I agree with the above. I am sure there are a lot of other people in your office that would like something lighter for lunch too. Especially with having so many parties so close together. But with anything you order, you have to practice moderation and fit it in your daily goal. I love pizza and we have it often. However,…
-
yes! agree with the posters above. This is one of my top reasons for exercising. I can eat more! :smile:

Homeschooling mom here too! Do you have a food scale? Its a very important part of being successful using MFP. If you are going to count calories then a food scale is a must. Good luck! You can do it! :smile:

Just finished eating some Breakstone 4%. Its really good and thick. I got some Daisy cottage cheese a few weeks ago and did not like the flavor and texture at all.

chicken breast and a jar of salsa. Perfect for salads or tacos. I also like to make a white chicken chili in the crock pot. Basically its just pinto, great northern and black beans. chicken breast, chicken broth, can of green chili's and seasonings. So good!!

We have Edy's slow churned almost every night. I just weigh out a serving and fit it in my daily goal. I also top it with whip cream and a few chocolate chips. yum!
