I pound the chicken breasts to even the thickness before coating with hummus.

Ahhh Diet Soda is my one bad habit I can't seem to kick! Congratulations to you -- keep it up! But for me, there are certain foods that you just have to have soda with. The food just doesn't taste the same ;)

Great topic!

Is that the Cowboy Caviar from Trader Joe's? I just got some of that recently.

Mmmmm sounds delicious!

I noticed that several of the grocery stores are having sales on: Watermelon Corn on the Cob Chicken Cherries I was thinking of making turkey burgers. I'd really like to make Chicken Kabobs but the weather may not be nice tomorrow so we probably wont grill.

I have not read all of the replies to this board so someone may have already mentioned... but there are some lower calorie peanut butter options. At Trader Joe's, I am addicted to the Better'N Peanut Butter. It has only 90 calories for 2 Tbsp (about half of regular peanut butter) and in my opinion, it tastes great!…

Based on MFP, my daily allotment of sugar is 38 grams. 95% or more of the time I'm far under that. I rarely go over. However, I always go over on Sodium and Protein!

Someone has a board on Pinterest with PB2 Recipes (see below link): http://pinterest.com/gg555/pb2-recipes/ I bought a jar of PB2 to make some microwavable chocolate dessert, but it didn't turn out. I'd like to find some recipes so I can use up the jar. I love Peanut butter, especially with chocolate. YUUUUMMM!! Hopefully…

Right now I'm just manually entering the calories to MFP account. I think it has an option to sync with something though.. I have to do a little research.

Exactly ;)

I LOVE the Better N' Peanut Butter. Half the calories!!!!!

Well -- I will tell you that I have never "let myself go" in my life. I am in my 20's and I have ALWAYS watched what I ate, exercised, etc. I was always aware and I have tried so many diets. I even resorted to Slim Fast -- which is not a healthy way to get nutrients (in my opinion). I would only ever lose 5 lbs right at…

How long did it take you to lose your baby weight?

I think the face is the most noticeable place to lose weight! The weight came off my face first too, and made a huge difference in the way I look at myself. I consider myself lucky that my body kept it's shape even when heavier (just a thicker curvier version) so it's hard to tell when I lose from my body. That's why I was…

Thanks! When I first signed up I got McDonald's Ads!!!

That is the same thing that happened to me the first time I went in, but then I went in again and really looked around. The prices are less expensive for most items I shop for -- and I compare to many other grocery stores in the area. Maybe it depends on where you live? There are a bunch of posts in the middle of this…

Thanks and congratulations to you too! How many lbs do you think you lost since the last time they saw you?

It is great :) Thank you!!

I actually had their frozen chow mein last night. I eat half of the package + half of a package of steamed broccoli that I mix in for a total of 365 calories, which isn't too bad for a dinner! It's so quick and yummy. They use white meat chicken too! I'm not a fan of dark meat.

I'll have to add that to my list! Thanks!!

I am a big fan of peanut butter too! But I have been eating their Better'N Peanut butter because it's 50% the calories of regular peanut butter. Great for a preworkout snack!

Well I made a shopping list from this board and here is the new stuff I got: - Cookie Butter: Everyone seems to go crazy for it! How do you eat it? I realize from the spoon is suggested by a lot of you ;) but I’d like to spread it on something or dip it in something. - BBQ Pulled Chicken: OMG! Delicious!! I love to cook,…

Ohhh! I’m glad you mentioned the ketchup. I’m pretty picky about my ketchup, I like Heinz, but if you think the Trader Joe’s one is good, I think I’ll give it a try. I also wanted to try their BBQ sauce. Which one do you get? I think they have a couple.

I never go to the gym because I really do not have the time. This is what I do instead: FitnessBlender.com Wii - Zumba Wii - Biggest Loser Wii - Just Dance 2 Walk my dogs A daily workout that I do in my office during lunch (which includes things like jumping jacks, lunges, squats, Russian twists, push ups, etc) I highly…

OMG me? I have never considered myself that!
