Today I had a Kind bar for breakfast, salad (4oz chicken, romaine lettuce, grape tomatoes, cheddar cheese, walnuts, bacon and Chipolte ranch dressing) for lunch, a bowl of chili w/ beans topped with sour cream and cheddar for supper. I am under 1200 calories so far today so I will have a snack later. Maybe a bowl of ice…

When I started I found several new recipes that supplemented the standard ones we had. I still look out for more. I try to keep all the base ingredients for them and purchase the meat and veggies for them on a weekly or no-weekly basis. I have two adult sons and they are given a choice in the meals. Because there are…

I also have pcos and am insulin resistant. I also do high fat/low carb. It really isn't that hard and there are lots of great recipes out there. I have found eating out fairly easy also. I have two grown sons who live at home and they eat basically what I do but bigger portions and more carb sides.

Oops just noticed that's the oatmeal and not yogurt. Will have to look for it.

I have tried all three flavors. Banana is my least favorite. The vanilla bean is good but the key line is my favorite.

Aside from diet soda, I always use the normal product.

My sons eat what I eat. I am also the meanest mommy ever, but they actually are enjoying it. We eat out less and I am cooking more. Since I am watching calories and carbs, I sometimes will add a heavy carb side for them.

Is this more of that detox/cleanse or isagenix stuff?

I made these tonight also. I cut back on the amount of sugar as it didn't need that much. I made half the batch with pecans like the recipe suggested and the other half with chocolate chips (I have one son who doesn't like nuts). The recipe is a real keeper! I am going to try her banana nut recipe also.

Nuts, peanut butter, cheese.

Allrecipes.com is awesome.

Ask your doctor for a referral to a registered dietician.

Don't ask for a referral to a nutritionist. You want a referral to a registered dietician, preferably one who deals with diabetics.

Neither, I make my own using dough from the deli. That way my sons can have theirs with whatever they want and I can do a pizza topping casserole.

Is this a that Shakeology thing?

Went to Trader Joes at lunch and most of their pumpkin stuff is in. Picked up the Pumpkin Spice Cookie Butter to try. Noticed a lot of other things also.

Woohoo, successful short trip to Trader Joes during lunch. Most of their pumpkin stuff is in so I can try the Pumpkin Soice Cookie Butter. I was running low on good cheese at home so I also picked up some Gruyere and some of their English Cheddar with Caramelized Onions.

Beef stir fry with broccoli, onions and peppers with a sauce of low sodium soy sauce and Thai Chili Garlic sauce. Served with rice for those who want it.

Love bacon with breakfast, on salads, as ingredients to flavor other dishes. Reminds me,I need to make some bacon jam for my son, he asked a couple weeks ago. Time consuming but soooo good.

I set a goal weight because I have so much to lose. But honestly I have no idea. As I gues closer I will make adjustments to it.

I became a single mom when my boys were 2.5 yo and 15 months and it can be hard. I worked a very demanding job. They were first at daycare and last picked up, plus I was working on the computer after they went to bed. It can be tough. Mine are now grown. I would echo what others have said about online workouts, they are…

I have always drank diet soda. I try to limit it to one a day (sometimes two). As for pasta I have cut it out almost entirely for me. I still cooks it for my sons.

I still eat chocolate also, only now it's dark chocolate. A smaller piece satisfies me, or I get o e of the dark chocolate flavored Kind bars. Kind bars are awesome for a treat. I still eat ice cream, my favorite is pistachio. I also discovered Pizzelles are fairly low calorie from another member. As far as staying full,…

I have been losing weight just fine without exercising. Fact is it slowed down a little since I started doing treadmill at the gym the middle of August. However I am now losing inches pretty steadily and I attribute that to the exercise. My plan always was to start with the food, then add cardio and eventually weights. I…

Powerful yogurt is awesome, I especially like the Key Lune but the Vanilla Bean is awesome toads stuff to. They also make smoothies that I haven't tried yet but want to.

1000caliries is way low. Women are recommended to go to a minimum of 1200. Depending on how much you have to lose you may even be allowed more. I would go for nutrient dense food like nvmomketo suggested and plenty of good fats. I love good cheeses, Kind bars, chicken cooked any number of ways or in salads, green veggies,I…

I am going out to dinner with a friend who moved last year. She wants me to meet her "man" as she calls them. Salad, steak and veggies for me. The place is overpriced but very good. But no cooking for me!

L Look what I found at Aldi's today, comparable to Kind bars. Four in a box for $2.99. They had another flavor but I don't remember what it was.

That was exactly what I thought I would do, just needed someone to confirm my way of thinking it through. Thank you!

Last night was Taco Thursday at our house, my sons had tacos with all the fixings, I had mine in a salad form.
