  • :sad: I'm ashamed..I baked a cake for my family; they were complaining that granola and yogurt weren't cutting it in the dessert dept. I found a recipe here for a Diet Soda Cake and it was good. If you are watching calories and fat it isn't a bad deal, but 22 grams of sugar in 1/12 of a cake is appalling and I ate it. I…

  • Morning All! Another pound... slow and steady, right? :smile: Found out I love reading on the elliptical which has been great for keeping me going those extra minutes, having a hard time eating all the extra calories though. Stiring - thought you were probably dancing your heart out thus causing you to be absent! Good…

Way to go Viviakay for standing strong... I went to Sam's Club the…

  • Fabulous Cheryl!! :bigsmile: Thanks for the list of simple carbs and the giggles, who knew about the Black Bean Brownies?? :laugh: I guess I'm still concerned about eating fruits, any thoughts about that from anyone? I haven't had any, just the occasional apple slice as I cut them up for my kids. Should I be taking a…

  • Trina... I, too, have discovered the wonder of reading on the elliptical! I was getting very frustrated with the many, many commercials as I was watching tv, the shows weren't holding my attention away from the fact that I was exerting myself! Love reading so it was a natural progression...

  • Good Morning! Singfree - hang in there, take it slow and everything will fall back into place. Such kind words of encouragement from your friends, take them to heart. Stiring - your workouts sound very intense, but they also sound just like what you need to keep you sane right now! Keep up the good work, how uplifting it…

  • Lori... you can do this, as you've said, you've done it before. It never gets easy, period, but you can do it! Are you involved with other military spouses in your area? Even that once a month spouses function at the club or coffee some morning with the spouses will help get you through, if I've learned one thing as a…

  • Stiring... we were there in 2000-2001, we were able to go as a family too. It was our 3rd overseas assignment. I've heard there was a lot of building going on. We lived in a 2 bedroom, 800 sq ft. and that was spread out between 2 floors. The housing right next to the commissary! OMG, was it small and we had 2 small…

  • So glad I joined this thread, it is great to see the posts from everyone and to hear all the great stories of work outs and weight loss! Stiring - I lived in Korea several years back, are you at Osan? It sounds like you've got a good plan for work outs with your WII and such. It is not easy to live overseas so far from…

  • So glad to find this thread! I'm new and when I started this I decided that I was going to cut out the sugar. I've managed to stay under my sugar allotment for the day. I'm not eating junk, just the sugars in my meals, which I watch. I've come to appreciate sugar-free coffee creamer and the occasional sugar-free piece of…

  • Have you given any thought to an exercise video? There are lots of great ones out there, I just purchased a Leslie Sansone Walk Away the Pounds, so far so good! It goes from very light 1 mile walk to a very brisk 4 mile. You can squeeze in some time in your own home without the intimidation of the gym. When Spring hits…

  • Try this website for inexpensive dinners www.5dollardinners.com she has some great meals and she lists recipes on her site as well as recently releasing her new book. Have you checked into WIC, Woman, Infant and Children, assistance? You may qualify and that would help with the cost of formula and basics. Best of luck.
