Lunch today was a slice of Whole Foods pizza and a big salad - it was delicious, and under 500 calories!

I buy frozen cauliflower, microwave it, and puree it. I add it to tomato sauces and my tomato soup to get the family added vegetables. Also works with roasted eggplant, peppers, and onions - roast, cool, and puree with tomato sauce.

I can't buy Nutella - if I do, I just eat it all with a spoon......you are not alone there.....

Ahhhh....the guilt of single motherhood :frown: Completely agree with the other posters that you are teaching her a great lesson. I am lucky enough that I either workout at home, or am able to get to the gym before I pick them up from daycare (and feel guilty sometimes for picking them up later). But they know where I was…

Could it be what you are eating? I have/had a similar issue - I feel a gnawing feeling in my lower abdomen that kind of feels like hunger But what I thought was hunger was actually gas/a form of IBS. My doctor suggested I limit raw veggies and try an over the counter gas pill (Phazyme). That has helped me......might not be…

Can't wait for the new season! I am a huge Rick fan - but seeing him in interviews was a major mind f*** - I had no idea that the guy who plays him is actually British and has a British accent.

I echo the others in saying that there shouldn't be separate meals for you and everyone else..... There are ways to make the broccoli, brown rice, and lean meats more satisfying for you, and also enjoyable for everyone else. -cook rice in chicken broth/stock -add buffalo sauce and a bit of blue cheese crumbles into lean…

I do say no to my kids, and they do have boundaries....I just pick my battles.... Thanks for all the advice.

They are 4 (twin girls). What usually happens is that I make them what they ask for, and then I make what I want....then we get in the car to go to daycare/work....then they decide they want I have either in addition to, or instead of what they had originally asked for. I can make more - but then if they don't eat it…

After 6 months, yeah, it is normal to still make mistakes..... Don't let the stress affect you to where you are making more mistakes. Just be confident in what you do well. That said, I can see how pushing out a start date can make someone upset. I am currently changing positions and if my start date got pushed out, I…

I love love love Skippy Naturals a Super Chunk with Honey.....have to really be careful as I can just eat by the spoonful. I wouldn't keep it around, but give it to the kids with apples, so I have had to learn to moderate. By the way, am now thinking of the Skippy in my cupboard :frown:

One alternative I like to pre-packaged frozen meals is making your own using frozen, pre-cooked ingredients. For example, Target and Whole Foods sell frozen quinoa or brown rice - combine that with frozen broccoli/veg of choice, and frozen chicken/shrimp in a plastic container with a sauce of your choice. Is minimal prep,…

OP....good job for going! I personally saw firsthand how devastating alcoholism can become if allowed to get worse (and as a progressive disease, it always does). Recovery is not easy, but will be worth it! That said, also from my firsthand observations, depending on how much you are drinking daily, it may be a good idea…

I am a single mom of 2 who works full time and I will say that it is HARD! You really have to make a committment.... The things that help keep me on track are: -walk everyday at lunchtime and workout at the gym before I pick up my kids (this may go away, due to potential new job - then will change to AM workouts) -plan and…

For breakfast (or even lunch), hard boiled eggs are great. 2eggs, string cheese, and some fruit or veggies (even a slice of good bread) can make a good and portable meal.
-
I have had to go to a gastro doctor due to stomach issues (actually intestinal - not what I thought was the stomach) - anyway, he said that avoiding raw veggies will help, and recommended I take Phasyme. For me, at least, he thinks it might be IBS....

When I changed up my routine (added lunchtime walking, lift heavy 3 days a week, run 2-3 days a week) I didn't really lose at first - I think I gained. I read somewhere that when you start a new routine, it sometimes takes awhile for your body to adjust. I stuck with it, and after 2 weeks of frustration, I dropped 4 lbs,…

I love a nightly glass or 2 of wine, but not only did it stall my weight loss, but I feel like it caused me to gain the weight I am trying to lose :( Some people don't eat when they drink, but I become a human garbage disposal :( So I am in for weekends only :)
-
A few that I like are: Let's Go - Calvin Harris featuring Ne-Yo Scream - Usher More - Usher Firework - Katy Perry Scream and Shout - Britney Spears and Will I Am anything loud with a fast beat - very different than my Lite Rock stations in the car....

Funny you say that - I just got mine yesterday too - am still trying to figure out all of the features :)

In addition to what has already been said... If the water is going to be really cold (or cold to you) I got a warm cap - I can't remember exactly, but it covered my ears, and was like a wetsuit for my head. Was helpful to me. Definitely need to practice in open water. As far as stroke and breathing, I do crawl - breathing…
-
I have been laying off the alcohol as I would rather eat my calories (and alcohol makes me super hungry), but I am going to have a big and delicious cocktail.....something made with salted caramel vodka....yum :drinker:
-
A couple of things I do for really low cal meals I do with extra lean ground turkey are: Extra lean turkey chili (without beans - just peppers, onions, meat, tomatoes, spices) Extra lean turkey with broccoli, buffalo sauce, and OPA blue cheese dressing - buffalo without the calories/fat Extra lean turkey with tomato sauce…

I know this sounds silly but it really is true - no one ever regretted working out. Getting started is the hardest part. It sounds like your boyfriend is trying to be helpful, but maybe that is putting additional stress on the situation? Start small - tell yourself you only have to go for a 5 minute walk - and if it really…

I just registered yesterday with my team of 7 too! And I start May 28th too - we may work at the same place :smile: I like to walk at lunchtime already, but am looking forward to getting the pedometer to track better, and to up what I am doing.
