Which is funny because McDonald's owns Chipotle. :)

You have such amazing inner strength to have come this far. Despite your life throwing you setbacks and tumbles one after another, you persevered through and WON! Surgery is never a "little thing", but I have 100% confidence that you will come through this next hurdle with just as must grace and success. In terms of…

I have used crumbled extra firm tofu in taco seasoning before. Maybe that would sub?

OP, please take this as a helping hand rather than an attack: If you can't force your brain healthy for you, at least do it for your kids. You seem miserable and that's the self-critical role model you are providing for them. How many times will you say something negative or self-deprecating about yourself before one of…

When I left my (now ex) husband, I still loved him. I felt much the same as you describe, but I knew that loving someone doesn't mean a relationship will work or is meant to be. Of course you will mourn the end of era, but it will fade and you will start getting excited about what is to come! For me, just knowing that my…

Growing up, my mom often cooked ground beef with some seasoning and Velveeta on the stove and then served it over egg noodles. I am sure something similar would work!

I couldn't eat the plain at first; it took time to acclimate my taste buds. I love, love, LOVE the fig though!

I made a lot of food on the weekend and freeze it in individual servings. During the week, I use the slow cooker to keep the house cool and minimize cooking time. :)

I think the biggest thing to watch with Diet Sodas is the sodium levels. I would say that 1-2/day isn't a problem as long as you are getting other fluids too. As I have mentioned on another post or two, my new favorite thing is making calorie free Italian Sodas at home with sparkling water and sugar-free Torani syrups…

Man...there are PAGES of "Bumps" on here! Makes it a wee bit hard to find the recipes! ;p I use the McCormick Slow Cooker seasoning packs frequently. They have ones for Vegetable Beef Soup, Chicken Soup, Beef Stew, etc. All very easy to do. I have also done chicken cooked with chipotle peppers and salsa. You can pretty…

^ THIS! Exact same story here!

I have three currently (which I coincidentally JUST posted to another thread!): First was a Phoenix on my back after I got divorced. This one is my favorite!: While the Phoenix was being worked on (it took 12 3-hour session), I got this at Hart&Huntington on my 1st trip to Vegas. I *like* it but was not impressed with the…

This is my chest piece: Some days I like it; some days I don't. Because it normally only shows a small amount over the top of my shirt, most people don;t even know what it is. (My grandma thought it was a Turkey!) You have to think about how it will work with the clothes you wear. Now, my back piece on the other hand, I…

I do want to get a HRM at some point, but I don;t really have the funds right now. Any recommendations for when I do?

Personally I drink a lot of iced tea/hot tea sweetened with Splenda, I also drink Diet Lipton Green tea from the store and make calorie free Italian Sodas with sparkling water + 1 oz. of flavored sugar free syrup (such or Torani brand). Depends how you feel about artificial sweeteners though I guess! You can try making…

I have never heard of these noodles. I see online that they are "made of a healthy natural fiber called Glucomannan." So I was wondering how that affects your...um...poop? Sorry...I just don't want any surprises!

Yes, the logic is VERY simple; eat less and move more. I think we all know that it is not that easy in practice however. It takes dedication, diligence, and patience.

^^ Agreed. Under 1200 cal/day is not healthy, especially for women! Giving yourself just wine and celery for dinner is not going to fuel you! Your body is saying "Hey, not sure when I will get some fuel food, better hang onto as much as I can!" EDIT: Saw your comment about tracking food where they are convenient to…

I am no longer on any meds since they never helped me personally (neither did ECT) since I seem to have treatment-resistant depression. That means I have to do a LOT of distracting myself when times are tough. I find that logging my foods, planning meals, and being involved in the social aspect of this site is helping keep…

I am really a fan of the Better Oats/Mom's Best Instant Oatmeals. They are all natural ingredients, have flaxseed in them, are fairly cheap, and come in a TON of flavors. Maybe start there?

Bummer that no one else has added any! I was hoping to see some...

Cute idea. And, since you may be short on time, you can buy these cute pre-made ones at http://www.kaboodle.com/reviews/bridesmaids-survival-kit-10. They are specifically for bridesmaids and only $10 each so you can add something to it if you feel you need more. Other than that, you may want to check around Etsy for…

Solution: Download the Web Developer Add-On for Firefox, and go to Web Developer > Images > Disable Images > External Site Images. This will block any images off-site (including ads!) which pretty much just leaves the trackers! (And yes, I do realize the irony of posting a large image to explain how to block large images!…

Thanks for the encouragement everyone! Best wishes to ALL of our collective goals! Raising my (water) glass to health!
