Aside from batch cooking, can I suggest looking up some healthy casserole dishes? Casseroles require a little bit of prep time, but once everything is ready and in the oven, you've got 30 minutes (or whatever the cook time is) to enjoy your videogames. I'm very lucky to live with a guy who loves to cook as much as me, so…

Self Magazine has some great meal and workout plans. I've gotten quite a few good recipes off of their website or in the physical magazine that comes to my doorstep :) I believe it's free to create an account on their website and then you can join their "Drop 5 or Drop 10" plan and have access to the meals and workouts.…

Might I suggest a brisk walk before dinner, maybe through some jumping jacks and squats in there too if you're up for it. What I do on pizza night when it happens at our house is buy a bag of the premade salad (already washed and everything) and some tomatoes and cucumbers and make sure I have a big bowl of salad before I…

I like the plain unsweetened over cereal. Its also really great to use in instant oatmeal, gives the oatmeal a bit of a richer taste than just hot water that I use at work.

They are delicious. I eat one just about every day in my oatmeal. Also, THIS THREAD IS BANANAS - B-A-N-A-N-A-S!!!!!! You're welcome for the song that is now stuck in your head. :P

I'm a big fan. Recently found a new studio to practice at so getting into a new routine but when I first began my practice a few years ago, I was practicing 4 times a week on my lunch break at work. I always leave class feeling better than when I walked in and I love that.

I have a whole board on Pintrest dedicated to soup recipes. I kinda love soup. Here's a recent favorite: http://iowagirleats.com/2012/01/03/you-need-to-make-this-soup/ Came out to about 350 calories a serving but it all depends on what type of marinara sauce you use. I took her suggestion and used a 4 cheese sauce and the…

Thanks for the suggestions. Bumping for more ideas

We are pizzaholics in my house, so I've got a few suggestions: -Aldi flatbreads make a great crust if you like it crispy. We made some for New Years Eve and cut up to share but you could easily make a pizza under 300 calories with them. The flatbread is either 90 or 100 calories, depending on which type you get, then…

Kale chips, when made properly, are freaking delicious. As is kale added to pasta with caramelized onions and truffle oil. P.S. That article was amusing :) *corrected grammar

Thanks for the responses! I already subscribe to that YouTube channel, just never thought to bookmark on the Kindle- I appreciate the step by step too since I've only had this new "toy" for about two weeks and am still learning how to use it.

JeFIT might be close to what I'm looking for. I'm basically looking for apps with videos and routines to follow. I still use MFP for logging so the app is just for giving me a routine to do

I would actually love being proposed to this way because it suits our relationship to a T. Can't resist a cheesy pun or joke :) And we both love pizza!

Feel free to add me. I log on everyday and try to be as supportive as I can

Needles and centipedes/silverfish..... too many FREAKING legs to be normal. *shudder* :noway:

If broccoli is wrong, I don't wanna be right :wink:

I have a pretty fantastic salad recipe that my boyfriend is obsessed with that I'll share: Mixed spring greens with dried cranberries, blue cheese crumbles, and slivered almonds with an apple vinaigrette (either apple juice or cider, white wine vinegar, a tiny bit of honey for sweetness, black pepper and dried thyme). It's…

This^^

Yup, push up bras and "chicken cutlets" are our friends. I guess one good thing we have going for us is that we can usually find our size on the clearance rack at department stores. I'd rather have that than having to pay $40 or $50 for over the shoulder boulder holders.

That's a good point. The booty doesn't seem to be going anywhere so I suppose it's time to make that start defying gravity instead :)

I never had big boobs in the first place. I've always been small up top and even though my weight loss goals are smaller than most on here (only 15 lbs down from starting point is the goal), I'm still sad to see the little girls dwindle. I've been a large B for as long as I can remember and its always hard to find tops…

I have a couple of go to breakfasts during the week: -One serving of plain oatmeal with cinnamon and fruit added (sometimes a banana which makes it taste like warm banana bread, in the summer blueberries are great in there, or a chopped apple is super yummy) -One serving of plain yogurt with 1/2 cup of chopped berries and…

I'm just gonna leave this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHtWEH0euh4 It's all about the muffin tops!

My plan is to make sure I don't skip my regular meals during the day so I don't go in completely ravenous. I also plan to up my gym time a little next week to help burn off some extra calories that will likely get consumed during the party. At the party, I plan to have two glasses, one for a drinkity drink and one for…

I have treats whenever they fit into my daily calories, especially on gym days. I think its important for me to not have any "no foods" because that's what could trigger a binge for me. If I want a treat, I work for it, even if its just a square of dark chocolate. Yesterday, I knew we were going out for Mexican food and I…

Dominick the Donkey... HATE that song!!

Please feel free to add me. Looking for a few more supportive friends as well :)

Feel free to add me. My weight loss goal is different than yours but I'd like to help support your journey :)
