We peel them, mash them, and then freeze them in ziplock bags. They go in fruit smoothies (which I find disgusting), they are used instead of oil in cake mixes, cookie recipes, banana nut bread.... If we have time I peel them slice them and put them in the dehydrator....sprinkle with some cinnamon, or shake in a bag of…

Hells yeah! Follow it up with a solid nut punch. I'm a guy, here's why he is being a jerk....he is JEALOUS of your success. You just keep doing what you're doing and put your betrothed on MUTE for awhile...he'll snap out of it eventually.

I don't....I try to use mild onions...green onions are WAY too strong. I like the idea of adding them when getting ready to eat it instead of the whole batch. I LOVE hard boiled egg in my tuna but we don't eat eggs around here...egg yolks anyway...so I do put a 1/2 cup of scrambled Egg beaters in it from time to time...my…

When I am making pizza-dillas I always use the scale for the cheese and meats....other wise in my mind a 4 oz serving of cheese will melt on a 10 inch pizza 1/2 inch thick. If I am making soup from scratch I weigh and write it down...that way if the concoction is really good, I can make it again. When I make my rice-veggie…

Why can't you stand her? What changed?

There is nothing that makes a miserable person more happy than making someone else miserable. Misery does love company...and negative comments are either conscious efforts or unconscious efforts to derail your success. You have to ignore them. Even when they come from someone you love, admire, worship, or otherwise think…

Green Giant Steamers - Garden Vegetable Medley - buy the bag not the box. The whole bag is a nice big bowl of yummy...comes in at 240 calories, moderate carbs. Red skin potato, snap peas, and sweet red bell pepper in some kind of low fat low cal sauce. I always add hot sauce to this. Eat that with some raw cucumber slices…

I have 93 lbs to go. I am doing the cooking for about 45 people. Usually by the time everything is ready, I don't even want to eat. I always make a couple of pans of homemade yeast cinnamon rolls with cream cheese and powder sugar icing for everyone to munch on for breakfast. Used to make my own dough, but now I use frozen…

I drink Starbucks every day, sometimes twice a day. I order a Grande Bold...it's $2.10 here. I have to have it, I am a Bold junkie. All the other drinks they sell have no appeal to me, I'd rather go to dairy queen.

Humor, self confidence, and the ability to laugh at ones self.

Any kind of liver, or whipped lima beans

Winner! WInner! Green beans for dinner! Great job!

It is not uncommon for a woman to go through this after having a child. You and your hubby, that you love and adore, should probably seek professional counseling. I sincerely hope you two can get everything worked out.

I avoid fries, baked potatoes, I get my salad dressing on the side, no desserts, drink water, ask for broiled meat instead of fried whenever possible, I get my BBQ "dry" with the sauce on the side....and while I am trying to lose a lot of weight, I try to avoid eating out. Cheesecake Factory is my wifes favorite....there…

I like to hike...or I did. I got really fat and now when I walk on concrete or the flat ground the lower part of my back is in pretty strong pain within about 10 minutes of walking. Went to the Good Feet store and bought $500 worth of inserts....they have helped some and my feet don't hurt after a day at work, so I feel…

Coke Zero and a banana....seems to keep me from getting sore muscles.

You don't mention any exercise....I'm starting at a mood depressing 316 lbs....having a good week. I am what they call a couch potato...er I was....my job is pretty physical so when I got home I was parking my carcass on the couch and watching TV....for the last 6 nights I have been on my elliptical machine for 30-40 every…
-
Yes. Exercise is usually good for you. A diet high in food is best. Get rest and drink water.

I'm convinced. The only thing we know about eating is we get hungry, and we eat. Sometimes I eat even when I'm not hungry. Everyone is different, when it comes to metabolic rates, blood sugars, lipids, and all that stuff, we are all different. The fads we get fed by nutritionists change with the breeze....what's good today…

Totally worth it...I was 20 when my first son arrived, 22 when the second one got here, we had 5 pregnancies total, but only those two made it to their birthday. I'm 53 now...we have 7 grand children and one on the way. They are awesome. My life seems to have been lived in 20 year chapters....0-20 I enjoyed my boyhood, my…

The brain in my pointy little head knows this....if we go to McDonalds, we're having fries. So I just don't go. How to rationalize: 1. The salads are TOO expensive. 2. The salads are TOO many calories. 3. The salads taste better with fries. 4. Fries are BAD BAD BAD Between me and the McD is a grocery store...so I can…

We all have to start someplace, the important thing is to have a goal and a map to get there. Some of us can run there, some of us can walk there, some of us have to crawl there....but as long as we start moving toward our goals, we are progressing. Google says it takes 21 days to form a habit. So take it a slice at a…

Green beans...cooked any way or even raw in the summer time Cucumbers - chilled, sliced, sprinkled with chili powder and some lime juice. You can eat about 100 of them. Celery raw Carrots raw or steamed Broccoli nearly raw...nothing i hate more than overcooked broccoli <blech> TATERS!!! Never met a tater I didn't…

Bold Grande with a squirt of skim and one splenda

I use Egg Beaters. And anything else in the fridge. I have made omelettes from left over sloppy joe and shredded cheese, I love hot peppers on my omelettes, shredded potatoes, diced onions, diced peppers, broccoli, diced ham, chopped grilled chicken, mushrooms of all kinds, spinach, salsa, black beans....you name it...

When our kids were little, they thought raisins were candy. They thought celery sticks with peanut butter were candy. they thought grapes were a treat....we never had the money to buy snack cakes, or much junk food...not even tater chips....but that was a long time ago. Kids get more junk options nowadays, it's no easy…
