  • I don't mind oatmeal so much but your recipe actually sounds like a great way to make it better and slightly more filling by adding apple. -SN: I also hate salmon. I refuse to eat it. I don't care how healthy it is, lol.
  • Looks like there are lots of thoughts here but I have always read that you "fat" spots will usually be the last to go. For example, I carry in my thighs. I lose everywhere else first and SLOWLY it comes off of the thighs. On a side note- they say that if you carry it in either your stomach or hips/thighs-- you will usually…
  • It's tough! I weight myself every morning after my shower-- That being said, I also weigh myself after my daily workout (ONLY if I workout in the morning...this is strictly to see how much water I sweated out, lol)..... I used to be more of a fanatic about it but realized it only depressed me. Now, I do not EVER weigh…
  • You can eat this a number of ways....As a chip dip, on top of meat, as a side dish, or all by itself with a spoon. Mix can of black beans, chopped fresh cilantro, can of rotel, (you can add corn, etc if you wish but it only increases the cals). -I always mix in some powdred garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper. This is a…
  • I often use soy. Dependng on what type of smoothie/shake, you can slightly taste the difference but normally its just fine. Someitmes I make a protein ultramet shake and tastes great with soy.
  • My hubby is going through the same thing and we came to the conclusion that eventhough he wont workout 2x a day....we'll increase the length or intensity of his one workout. Also, we will both indulge in the finer foods in the U.S, but will make smarter choices. We'll share more meals and box more meals. Also, we have the…
  • Thank you! I see you are following the changes and are aware that its twice a year testing now. lol, I was so upset about that. Congrats on your 30lb weight loss. I only recently joined myfitnesspal. Prior to that I lost about 10lbs or so. I am still over BMI but am bottom heavy and get lucky on PT tests beause my upper…
  • I forgot about that...yes, you can dash some paprika for color on the top...also, a great way to add more flavor and still keep cals low is to add some parmasean cheese (just a bit) while you are masing. Yummy!
  • Thanks so much!
  • I love this recipe but please be advised, may involve excess sodium: I make mashed cauliflower. It tastes very similar to mashed potatoes but is obviously still cauliflower. There are many ways to make this but here is my fav: Boil a head or two of cauliflower in chicken broth (use enough to cover it) until the cauliflower…
  • Good Luck! It sounds like you already understand that you should be consuming more calories so you seem to be on the right track. Working with your wife as a team is awesome! So many people lack the support they need at home. Lucky you!!! Hope you have the progress that you are looking for. Follow what you know is right…
  • :smile: Hi Katey- I have been a yo-yo dieter as well. I have been back on the wagon for a few months now, and luckily have already lost quite a bit, but still have at least another 10lbs to go. I realize that is less than you, but if you are looking for someone to help motivate you, I'd like to think I am pretty good at…
