I slice them, put a little reduced fat creamy peanut butter on them and a little squirt of fat free chocolate syrup and then freeze on a tray. Once frozen I place them in a container. Then I pull one out when I want a little sweet snack!

I put them in a micro cooker from Pampered Chef with a little bit of water and add a little Mrs Dash. Good, quick side dish for me when I don't want to eat some of the things the rest of the family is eating - like corn!

Like the above, it's not just an ab workout but it is a good workout with a focus on abs. I started it but I didn't keep up. I'm having a hard time with my kids being in school. I do SO much better in the summer time :(

Thank you for sharing!! Truly inspirational!!

Definitely going to check this out, thanks!

Liked, thank you!!!

Thanks again for all the ideas! He surprised me and checked calorie counts at work on Saturday - they brought in cheese coneys and he was considering eating one - he did not BTW :) I actually think I've talked him into logging in here and logging his calories!! Progress!!

This is a good idea for us to track just to show them. Then maybe they will see it!

I think he may like this :) Thanks!

I keep telling him that he will lose a lot quickly since he's a guy!! I will have to mention this to him about your husband. Thank you!

I completely understand!! I just tried steamed broccoli and cucumbers last summer and I'm 31 :)

Good stuff, he actually likes tuna!! Working out is the next thing he will need to work on. He had back surgery in August, so it's slow and steady. Thought food may be the best starting point. Thank you!

I would LOVE for him to take accountability for himself and log his food. But at this point, I want to help him and make it as painless as possible. I don't want to him to give up immediately. I'm cooking lunches for myself so I just wanted to find some ideas of things to make for him at the same time. I just know he won't…

Thank you for taking the time to give me all these tips! I will definitely check out your chinese recipes, we really like it and I know it's so bad for us. I have been making the kids put their plate in the micro - if they are hungry at the end of the night, that's what they are eating!! Thank you again :)

Thanks for the ideas!! Will definitely check out the website - hopefully our kiddos will like it to. I get so tired of making separate meals!

Mine is an everything-aholic.....fast food, chips, pop, pizza and is at least 75 lbs over weight. I've lost nearly 20 lbs in the last year and I'm very close to goal but I know it would be more if I had a little better support at home. Eggs tear up his stomach :( I eat them on my salads a lot. Good luck to you too!!

My husband is overweight and I've tried to get him interested in being healthier. I got him to agree to walking with me at the gym last Friday and then we played basketball with our kids afterwards. I took some pictures while we were there...since we share an icloud, he saw them the next day. He text one to me and told me…

There is an Aldi's in a neighboring city about 15 minutes from us BUT I'm scared to go to the plaza the Aldi's is located in!!! I try my darndest to stay on point with breakfast and lunch while I'm at work and then at dinner, I eat what we have at home and try to keep it healthier. I usually have a light bagel (purchased…

Never heard of this, I will look into it. Thanks!

Actually, I was doing dead lifts the day I hurt myself too. I felt my back tensing up every time I was done with a set, but I just moved on to the kettlebell swings, and ball throws before I made it to the medicine ball that killed me! Thanks for the input! I guess I have to listen and keep on keepin on :)

Thank you :) You are exactly right!!!! My mother has always dated much older men and I just don't get it!

I've already agreed that if he was working out with some hot 20 year old chick then I may be upset but that's not anything like what I'm doing. This guy isn't hot, he's old to me....older than my father. I would NEVER date someone this much older than me. I know he was cheated on once in his previous long term…

Agreed!!! Love is like war, easy to start, difficult to stop. Oh my goodness, my husband and I have been through years of good and bad and as much as I would like to think I could move on without him, I can't. We are just meant to be and we just make it work. We've certainly learned over the years how to deal with issues…

Good for you!!! Twizzlers are the best!!

You should be very proud of yourself! Keep it up!!

you are doing awesome! noticeable changes for sure!!!

I was in college and babysitting my 2 year old sister on my day off. I held her and cried all day watching the news.

you both look amazing!! awesome that you can experience this together :)

wow! i had to go back and see the before pic again. definitely looks like a completely different person. i'm working with a trainer twice a week too and i love it, it definitely helps me! good luck with the last 30 :)

Great ideas!! My grandparents have a "fat" picture of me in their house, they finally moved it to the office so no one sees it. It was a family picture and it was removed as soon as we took a new one. But when I visit them, I still go look at it as a reminder!
