I seem to have issues with lactose as well.. Organic Soy milk & almond milk are my favorites.. I make soy milk latte at home & use almond milk for my protein shakes a little write up on milk substitutes... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/226149-sour-on-milk-5-healthy-dairy-substitutes-by-jeanine-natale Hope this…

I am making this today:) Thanks.. sounds yum!

All I could think of was reconnect & add more friends to your list & start interacting with them... reading their daily progress will give you the inspiration & motivation you seek & give you ideas to do in terms of exercise etc even maybe during lunch.. ideas will start coming to you & you will be back on track. I cannot…

two comments from a friend: - one when I showed her a pic of me in Hawaii 10 yrs ago & I told her I would love to look like that again - she said "if you think you can" - one when I met her on Easter & she knows I have lost some eight (ok about 13 lbs do not show in my big body) she felt compelled to say.. you are looking…

Thanks for the inspiration. This week has been a tough one for me as a low grade fever that i used to get.. is come back. Dr have failed to figure out why I get it.. but what it did with my weight loss journey.. is not good. I have been dragging, low energy & yearning for high carb comfort foods... I am sooo exhausted that…

Kristina... I think you completely dropped me from the weigh ins!!!! I am sure it was just a slip.. but I reported my weigh in on Sunday instead of Monday. The thread is moving too fast.. so no sweat. :) Suzie

A quick share.. just came across a post on milk substitutes that is very informative... so thought to share:) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/226149-sour-on-milk-5-healthy-dairy-substitutes-by-jeanine-natale?page=1#posts-2988042 Hope you are all doing well.. will catch up with you soon:)

Thank you for this very informative & extensive piece you did. A blessing for me. Even though I am not allergic, an Ayurvedic Dr recommended that I try a dairy free diet. I tried it for 3 months & the very painful cramps I used to get during my TOMS.. vanished! Realize I was doing 2% regular milk.. not ORGANIC.. so it…

Thank you for this.... It is such useful information & truly the foundation for this journey & you have laid it out is such a simple way. Appreciate it much:) BTW... all of them are golden nuggets.. but what spoke to me the most (I believe what I need to work on the most) is 8) Developing inner strength.... I think it is a…

Thank you.. just what I needed to hear today. Incredibly inspiring:)

BTW... Planning ahead with a high fiber meal before a rich meal will decrease eating too much rich food :) And of course if we do go over our calorie goals we will just get back on track after that:) Have fun:)

Decided to change my weigh in from monday mornings to Sunday morning:) 1 lb loss... current weight 180.4 lbs HAPPY EASTER ALL:heart: Suzie

I had back surgery 7 yrs ago.. & over the years learnt to listen to it.. caz if I don't it punishes me with more lower back pain.. which renders me useless:( So even though I have seen a lot of people here who do some extensive workouts with HIGH burns.. I have had to be slow & steady & slowly build the conditioning in my…

Just posted a recipe I made this week: Turkey, lentil & spinach gumbo (Indian style) - Crockpot http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/suzieqdiva If you looking for something quick, easy & fun.. & low calorie's give it a try:)

Kendal - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qwscb3QIVSg HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU BABES!!!! Wishing you a year filed with much joy, happiness, love & success along with healthy living in the coming year:heart: Suzie

SLOOOOOOOW DOWN! OMG.. I just got here & I started reading the posts & I was laughing one minute, sad the next & rolling on the floor the next! You gals crack me up:noway: :love: Glad you like my spinach Lasagna recipe.. am going to post a lean ground turkey gumbo made with indian spices.. I topped it with some shredded…

I think I need to do the high fiber meal an hour before I go... so I eat less & plan on a protein shake for dinner. I will be doing an extensive workout first thing Monday.

You are so young & your skin elasticity is still great... so I don't think it will be a problem:drinker: Though slow weight loss & strength training should help & drink lots of water. After I am done showering, I take some baby oil on my palm & just spot place it on several body parts of the body & stay in the shower with…

You need to fuel your body.. if you exercise more... your body will need more protein & some dense carbs to energize it & to fuel the muscles after workout to strengthen. So listen to your body. It might sound weird, but i have urges for protein etc.. your body tells you what it needs. . you just need to listen. Take…

My migraines are from eating white flour (& too much processed stuff). I happened to do a diet a year ago that required me to give up white flour... and puff.. for 5 weeks no migraines:flowerforyou: So white flour & I are not friends anymore.. & I have to stay away from the bakery with the deliciously beckoning sweet stuff…

Ok.. this post is a well intended post from someone I regard highly.. but the comments had me falling off the chair:) http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/222964-spot-burning-fat :laugh:

Oh... I just finished off a packet of smoked ham.... & the days I had it.. I almost had a heart attack wen I saw the sodium it had!!!!! Not buying that again! I think I going to try roasting/baking some & freezing portions sizes.. & see how that works out for me:)

Ok... I am falling off the chair laughing at everyone's comments!!!! BEST LAUGH I HAD IN A WHILE:) Thank you:bigsmile:

I second the *kitten* 0%... delish.... get the plain variety.. can add as a topper to your open sandwiches, salads, chillie or to your fruits etc:)

So, personally I have decreased eating out.. caz when I do.. I get into trouble with portion control or binge eating. Last time I was great by ordering salad & drinking tons of water before the food arrived... then ordered food to go of my favorite food:sad: which I binge ate after coming home.. was swimming in fat.. did…

Ok... my take is . if your body is revolting so bad.. it is your body you need to listen to. Taking a one day break to rest is not going to break the bank.. so to say. If your body is so exhausted or fighting some flu.. giving it the rest will help recover it back so you can get back to your program sooner. Sometimes…

Hey all.. I made pretty delicious Spinach Lasagna rolls yesterday.. recipe is at Recipe http://bit.ly/h8RXgi 170 cals per roll:) BTW.. I feel lost if I have not visited this post even for a day.. it is moving soo fast.. that I feel dizzy.. even when I try to catch up. So please I am not ignoring you all.. I just feel…

Mon morning weigh in.. loss of 1.6 lbs since the last weigh in. Total loss since joining MFP 10 lbs:happy: I have tried a few diets before... but never lost more then 7 lbs!!!! I am excited:smile: Now getting back on track again. Thanks everyone for all the support, guidance & help... I REALLY could not have done this…

Yesterday was a bit of a binge as I went with friends after shopping for workout clothes to an Indian Restaurant.. I quickly ordered a salad & drank down a lot of water before the rest of the food arrived.. so I did better than I would have otherwise! I also ordered some take out of lamb curry & tandoori chicken.. two of…

Yum.. You are a blessing in disguise:) I love pizza's & have been looking for a gluten free way of making it at home.. Yummy. This will be in my next week's meals plan... thanks a ton:)
