My ultimate favorite is baby carrots and hummus....It keeps me from snacking on stuff I shouldn't...I sometimes find myself eating a whole bag of baby carrots, but I don't feel guilty whatsoever because I'm getting full off veggies...theres so many different kinds of hummus too...My fav currently is garden vegetable....oh…

I love using ground turkey all the time in place of beef....We make homemade turkey burgers(add 1 egg, any kind of seasoning...you could do taco burgers w/taco seasoning), turkey chili....Try jenni o's turkey tenderloins too, they're awesome....I'm always looking up good chicken crockpot ideas...Theres so much you can do…

I always make this Giada recipe...You roast red and yellow peppers, zucchini, onions and yellow squash in the oven with some olive oil, salt and pepper drizzled on it...You can make some homemade marinara or make your own(its so easy)...Make some pasta on the side(very al dente)....Mix warm marinara and roasted vegetables…

This sounds amazing! I just wrote the recipe down...Thanks! :)

I had 2 1/2 glasses of champagne, but I worked until midnight, so that helped LOL

I count it :) I drink a lot in the winter, so I for sure always count it as water

Thanks ladies! I appreciate all your advice :) Today is a new day...:)

I don't even know where to begin..Its so crazy how a couple months can completely turn your eating habits upside down...My portions have been a lot bigger...I just feel blah! I'm only eight pounds away from my goal weight, but I just want to feel healthy and toned again

They are MINE too!!! I haven't bought them in over a week because they're so addicting! I totally feel your pain

I love raw nuts and greek yogurt is my ultimate fav....I'm obsessed with Chobani yogurt and always keep it stocked in my fridge....It has more protein in it than usual yogurt and keeps you fuller for longer....If you're on the go you can always make a little snack bag to bring in the car. Theres so many yummy kinds of…

Agreed! I have the same addiction!

Its normal for weight loss to kind of plateau sometimes...What kinds of exercising are you doing? I would recommend switching it up a lot to "confuse" your muscles....I have a couple of friends that are personal trainers that recommended doing that..Good luck :)

I'm a big wino...LOL...Wine is pretty low in calories...Try vodka soda or bacardi & diet...If you're only getting drunk one day it shouldn't put on any weight, just work it off a couple days later :)

Try to eat more protein for dinner so it keeps you fuller for longer....I found hot green tea helps curb my appetite as well...If I know I don't have any more calories left I'll do that..If I do I'll have a small snack...Last night was the perfect example I drank two glasses of water and a bowl of strawberries :)

I'm a mother of two as well...I havent even bothered getting a gym membership because I dont have time...I bought resistance bands, an exercise ball and some free weights to start off...Get a couple of cardio dvds...Start eating clean, go through all our cabinets...Just cook the same recipes for your family so you don't…

Amazing! You should be so proud of yourself...You rock!!

And I had a c section in 2006 and 2009

I have exactly the same problem...Even when I was in the best shape of my life in April I still had it...Its hopeless without surgery I think :(

Have a piece of chocolate! :) Twix makes really yummy mini chocolate icecream bars for 90 calories and dove mini chocolates are 50 calories a piece...

Your diary is amazing....Lots of clean eating and staying on track with calories...You might be building muscle if you're lifting a lot of weights...I think you're right on track though

I'm 5'4ish and my goal is 125..Its a good weight for me...5 pounds away :)

It goes all the way to my ankle....I wish I knew what it was....how do they diagnose plantar faciitis??

What an amazing inspiring story! You truly are a strong motivated woman and you look fabulous!

You can sautee any veggies and mix them in with a little parmesan cheese and some fresh basil...I love quinoa yummm!

me too! I'm growing it back out :)

I haven't ran in over a month...I have a foot injury right now, they're thinking its plantar faciitis...Its awful..I miss running....I can help you with running techniques though...I had never ran before in my life and I trained for 8 k in 3 months!

EEEWWW!!

Its soaked in fat and the fries are dripping with frying oil....Yuck

I count my walking at work as calories..I'm a server and I'm speed walking at least three hours a shift...it earns me a glass of wine each night :)

I lost fourty pounds off WW after I had my son :) I loved it... But I love MFP much more....Although WW has an online site, its pretty much the same...WW's meals are full of sodium and yucky stuff..I would much rather try clean eating at home :)
