Thanks everyone for the additional input! I didn't feel light-headed yesterday or today. I think I needed to start off with a better breakfast. I also haven't felt hungry the past two days, which is good. Those hunger pains were getting to me! I think the additional protein really helped. Someone asked about my stats---…

Thanks all! Normally I would have eaten more veggie! (I love my veggies & fruit) Most of the time I will eat a whole zucchini by myself, but I was down to the last one and had to share with hubby. I'll have to pick some more up today at the store. Come summertime there will be lots of fresh veggies to eat! My dad has a…

Here was tonight's dinner. We had pork chops with a honey glaze made from organic honey & water, russet potatoes with olive oil, basil, cinnamon and pepper, fresh zuchinni, and strawberries. I was absolutely stuffed, but it tasted great. Feel free to critique, or offer up better alternative meal suggestions. Thank you!!…

First of all, I would just like to thank everyone for your responses! Your feedback is truly appreciated and valued. I have some additional questions I would like to ask if you don’t mind. :D Also, I wanted to clarify that getting light-headed is a side effect of the medication I take. Any slight change to my body, i.e.…

We have the Huron juicer. This is the recipe my husband and I drink a lot. Recipe for 2 people: 2 - Juicing apples (Fuji is good) 2 - oranges The remainder is made up of carrots until we hit 24 oz on the juicing container. It is a really nice tasting recipe. We haven't gotten to the "green" veges yet.

Here is a VERY simple soup recipe that my family loves. It does involve a lot of canned items so you may not like the sodium factor, but with that said, I am always well under my sodium ratio each day so I don't usually work about it. I just made this up so you may have to adjust it to your crock pot size, this is for a 4…

We drink a lot of smoothies in our household. I will either pull out the big Vitamix if doing smoothies for the whole family, but if doing one just for yourself, you can't beat the Magic Bullet. The added benefit is you just take your tumbler with you on the go. Recipe: 3/4 cup of Vanilla or Plain Yogurt (I usually use…

I've eaten a lot of egg scrambles this past week! Here is my recipe: 4 egg whites 1/4 Roma tomato 1/4 cup green bell peppers 1/4 cup onions 2 tbs. mild salsa (added during the last few minutes of cooking) Directions: Just scramble it all together. I usually like to serve it with 5 asparagus spears on the side. So yummy!…

I've only been doing this for 2 days now, but already I found that tracking my food really does make a huge difference! I've managed to lose 5 lbs in the last 2 days just by being conscience of what I am eating. The easiest way for me is to just do the calorie recording as I prepare my meal on either my iphone or ipad. :)

You gals sound just like me! 5'2, small frame, so every pound does show--- and I've managed to put on 20 lbs. My first goal is to lose 10 (I've lost 4.5 the last couple of days-- YAY!), and then to re-evaluate maybe another 10. I'm also 46, proud mom to a 19 year old, and ready to hit this weight loss thing hard. I can…

Hi! I'm a newbie, but I'd love to join in. I'm looking to lose 20 lbs, but will be happy if I lose at least 10. I'll send a friend request once I figure out how to. LOL :)
