Panera bread has some great sandwiches and salads. I also will go with Wendy's grilled chicken or the kids crispy chicken meal (it's pretty close in calories to the bigger sandwiches) Jimmie Johns or Lenny's sandwich shops have some great choices, too.

Ignore that number on the scale! You look AMAZING!!!! How do you feel?

I love goat cheese crumbles, dried cranberries, salad toppers (comes in a bottle) and raspberry vinaigrette. Just had a salad tonight that had gorgonzola, artichoke hearts, dried cranberries, sliced grapes, grilled chicken, and a wine vinaigrette. YUM!

I make breakfast for the family during the week and here are some of the things we tend to eat: Bagel Breakfast sandwich (this is a crowd pleaser) -Bagel Thin -1 "fried" egg -1/2 slice of reduced fat cheese -turkey sausage patty or slice of turkey bacon Cream of Wheat with splenda brown sugar mix and cinnamon Oatmeal…

My family eats what I eat and we are making a lifestyle change as a family. I have a hubby with a metabolism like yours, so I know what you mean. :) I agree with the suggestion of using ground turkey in your recipes. It will make a big difference. Also, we like to make big batches of chicken breasts/tenders that we…

bump I was just wondering about using the PB2, also. I bet it would work great and imagine the calories you would save! :D

I use a Timex right now (hoping to get a Polar for Mother's Day), and I feel that it reads really high. So, I tend to divide the calories it says in half, and put that for my calorie burn.

Cold turkey- I never thought I could quit cold turkey but I am now 2 1/2 months quit and no desire to turn back (I smoked for 23 years :{ ). There is a great website that really helped me put things into perspective. Make sure to go check it out: http://whyquit.com/ Good luck!!! You can do it!!! :D

I love my walks all by myself. It's my "me time" and all the stress just melts away during my walks. Plus, it allows me to do intervals if I feel like it. I can't imagine trying to do intervals with someone else. Now, that being said, I had the pleasure of having one of my daughters walk with me the other day and it was…

yummmmmmm......

I second the Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout. I LOVE it and use it 2-3 times a week.

I think it's great that you put yourself out there and reached out to others. I have battled depression for almost 10 years now. It's not a constant battle, but it sneaks up on me when I least expect it. I find that when I am active, even just walking everyday, and eating healthy then the depression tends to stay at bay.…

I was just wondering the same thing, earlier today. I'll be checking back to see some answers/opinions.

bump Thank you for sharing. That looks absolutely delicious!!!

this was great! thanks for sharing- definitely want to keep this so I can reference back when I have one of those "What in the world am I doing?" moments. lol!

This is too funny, because I am in the same boat. LOOOOOOVE y vanilla creamer in my coffee and I really like to use a lot. I typically use the fat free version, but then looked at the calories and compared them with the ones in the sugar free. Fat free has 25 calories per tablespoon and sugar free has 15 per tablespoon.…

bump- just picked some up today so I am open to some suggestions on how to use it. :)
