Hate bridges and cliffs.

I tried the refrigerator oatmeal for the first time. It was ok. Think I had too much milk. I will try it again before I rule it out as a breakfast option.

I have been researching a cake to make for my daughter's birthday and found this website http://healthymamainfo.com/2011/10/healthy-first-birthday-cake-recipes/

My daughter made these this weekend! Yummy! Decreased the sugar to 3/4 cup and left out molasses. http://www.theppk.com/2009/11/the-best-pumpkin-muffins/

Model appropriate eating (food choices) and staying active. Encourage being active together. Playing ball, bike ride, going to the park. Buy healthy snacks and meal options. If you need to, put them in single serving containers.(so it is a single serving of cereal and not half the box) Try your best without putting an…

My son is in 6th grade and has food allergies, so I have always packed his lunch. For the most part I do sandwiches. Other options are yogurt, string cheese, cheese and crackers, rolled tortilla with meat. This year I came across an article on sandwich-less lunches. I did a search and came up with several sights and ideas.…

Bob on Biggest Loser said this: Eat to live, not live to eat It has stuck with me. When I want to smile, I think of: If we are what we eat, then I am either cheap, fast, or easy!

Amyz075 Here are the results from a search for crockpot recipes. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/890665-crockpot-recipes?hl=crockpot+recipes&page=1#posts-13451910

So you do not cook the oatmeal???

I made it for dinner and it was a hit! We like spicy so I made a few adjustments. I omitted salt and garlic powder. I increased pepper and hot sauce to 1T. I added 1T crushed red pepper flakes to BBQ sauce mixture. This is something I can make often. It was a new version to spice up chicken!! Thanks for sharing :happy:

Yummy.....I think this is dinner!!!

Well aren't you a bucket full of sunshine

Really? My calories are more than 1400 (because they are based on my height, weight, and activity level). I have lost close 20 pounds. "Nobody" is such a broad term.

You will become an expert label reader. My friend has Celiac. Check and read labels. She found out the hard way...to recheck labels of normally purchased foods. Label said new and improved, well they changed an ingredient and she went into anaphylactic shock! When we go to a restaurant, she asks a lot of questions. One…

I think there comes a point when you decide I need to lose weight. For some people it can be a comment from another person or the fact that you could not ride the roller coaster with your child. For others it may take many of the situations before they decide to lose weight. I have lost weight a couple of times and put it…

Amen! Portion control and satisfaction work together. If I only have calories let for a small portion that does not satisfy me, when my tummy is grumbly I am going t wish I had something more filling.

I have 100+ to lose, but baby steps. I have lost 18 so far. Would enjoy hearing the successes of others as well as supporting each others when struggling. Those who have 100+ to lose can understand each other.

My go to snack has been apple with peanut butter. This week I have had oatmeal made with milk, just for variety and it is very filling.

oh my! These look yummy!

Some people have no tact or sensitivity. Just move on and do your thing :glasses:

I am very happy! I love using my crockpot (especially in the Summer heat). Found a couple recipes already that I want to try!

I am going to prepare this when the kids go back to school for an afternoon snack for us!

I do! It has been 30 days! I log in everything I eat or I tend to sneak BLT'S (bite, licks and tastes) during the day. I ate Mexican food out with family and I did my best to log in everything including each tortilla chip and the tequila shot! :wink:

Awesome! You are an inspiration!

Woohoo! Awesome news!

You are an inspiration!

Yum yum! My son and I love Nutella. Think we may have to try this as a treat. Raspberry fruit spread in the center would be an additional plus!

Sounds delish
