Hello all, At my husband's most recent appointment with his MD they are putting him on insulin to control his diabetes. We have not been great at controlling his eating. My account here is old, but I'll be asking him to set one up as well so we can track his foods. I'm hoping he will not be in insulin long term if we can…

:laugh:

LOL hope there weren't any vegetarians in IT

Come on and add yours!

I'm going tomorow. has anyone had one of their small bites? Are they filling. I was thinking that and splitting a salad.

LOL glad I'm not the only one. I'm in this for the lifestyle change, not just a "diet" so I'm not going to beat myself up over one day. I blew it super bowl Sunday too, but stayed on track the two weeks between. My husband was thoughtful and remembered my cutting back and skipped buying me chocolate this year. I still got…

Hey look at that it's the incredible shrinking woman. You look great!

One day won't hurt you. Don't make a habit of staying around 900 net.

congrats!

thanks or the tip, I'll do that!

yum! I have ccouscous in the pantry as well! Thanks eveyone i'm loving all the suggestions. Feel free to keep them coming.

I love me some split pea soup. i did it with left over ham bone from Easter last year in the crock pot. But no added veggies. I would love your recipe. Thanks!

I could totally do this. I do all the baking at home, so on home made buns this would rock!

I love Zataran's rice mixes! Wonder if this would work with the red beans and rice one I have in the cupboard already...hmm. Stir fry, love it, my kids could live on sticky rice alone, and I could withhold rice until I see more veggies go in their mouths Anyone have a lo cal scallop potato recipe?

sounds good, I'll try this soon. I have everything needed in the house except the frozen green beans. But I do have some fresh asparaus and sub.

Yum! I love southern greens, and I usually do them with bacon, but this ham would be a good substitute, no?

Ooh I've never made ham salad I love chicken salad so i'll try that. Open face on one piece of toast would be good for lunches. Thanks! I'm totally rolling my eyes at him because of the sodium. Neither of us need it. I'm already looking forward to the ham bone soup. Keep the ideas coming! thank you!

With my son I gained 65 pounds. Yep that's right 65 pounds. I quit smoking when i found outt I was pregnant and my OB was very kind and suggested that really, 20 pounds was quitting smoking wieght not pregnacy weight. I was on the slim sie before I became pregnant, and I lost 55 pounds before my son was a year old, and was…

thanks ladies! Congrats on the upcoming nuptials, wolf! I agree about the lifestyle choice vs. dieting thing. I have pretty much known that in my heart for my whole life, just that before I had kids or before I turned 30, changing the way I eat seemed like such a drag! But now that I'm a mom I've already made better…

that's a great idea about the box. I cleaned my house top to bottom (company coming over and all) and I found I could count that as exercise. 60 minutes of cleaning gave me an extra 200 calories! So if I stay away from the chips and salsa I should be good with a margarita and fluatas or chile relleno ala carte.

Thanks everyone! Going out to dinner tonight with another family so that will be the real test if I'm going to committ...ha! Mexican food, and really good Mexican food too.
