Great job!! It takes so much control to stay near that dang calorie limit! Keep it up! :drinker:

How are the veggies doing today?? I made some carrot soup for lunch today, probably hummus in a pita with tomatoes for dinner. What is everyones fav thing to do for exercise? I have gotten into running in the past year, I'm still not very good but it definitely gets me sweating!!

I would still go, but carry a bottle of water and take it easy. The heat takes a LOT out of you and you don't want to end up feeling sick! Good Luck :drinker:

I still haven't had a chance to make the pancakes :grumble: My husband and son leave by 6am and 7 for me so it has to be a weekend deal. I too hate the vegetarian comments. I tend to keep it on the down low at any gatherings and just make sure to avoid the meat. There are a couple people at work who think anytime I catch a…

Those pancakes sounds soo good...I'm going to try them this weekend! Thanks!

I made a list a while ago of some simple ideas for a quick meal...I'm sure I have many additions by now but here it is! Meal Ideas Fake hot dogs topped with chopped onion, veggie chili and soy cheese Broccoli slaw salad with Asian sesame dressing or mandarin orange dressing Veggie Nachos-corn chips with veggie chili, guac,…

Hi everyone! Weight loss goal 5 lbs I have a 16 month old son Been vegetarian since Jan I'm 24 and started diet and exercise after my son was born, however I have never been comfortable with my body. I've lost 35 lbs since I started on this website...yay! I started running VERY slowly about a year ago and now I actually…

Thanks for the link! : )

I either have a banana, or a light rye wasa cracker with a tbs low fat peanut butter. YUM!

Ooohhh, I'll have to try this!!

I too am a super duper dipper! I love it, I switched to low fat ranch for my (gasp) pizza. And fat free honey mustard most of my other dipping adventures. Salsa is another good one that is low cal for a lot of yum. :bigsmile:

While I agree that nutrition is a huge factor, I don't think you see results with out exercise. Personally when I started out here I had to completely change my eating habits first...then I slowly worked in the exercise, which I now love! Try doing some basic home workouts and eating a little more, sometimes you just need…

AWESOME JOB!!!!! That's fantastic!! :drinker:

Ohhhhh!! This is right up my tastebud ally, thanks for bumping it!!! And I have all the ingredients, how exciting! :bigsmile:

This is SOOO what I am going through right now. I'm hoping it's just that time of month because I'm usually not this hungry all the time! My weight also goes up and down by 3lbs constantly, it's driving me nuts! I am eating every three hours also, making sure to include protein and good fats (cottage cheese, almonds,…

Great info, thanks!

There is a really tasty blackbean burger on the guiltless grill menu, it comes with a big side of broccoli too! I ask them to hold the ranch and put a cup of fat free honey mustard on the side. It's very filling.

I'm so in love with whole wheat pitas! :heart: I use them for lots of things... refried black beans with some mozz cheese warmed up in the microwave laughing cow swiss cheese, again in the micro peanut butter and bananas roasted red pepper hummus soy crumbles, salsa, sour cream scrambled eggs and hot sauce falafel! ...just…

I have a super yummy one! I throw some sun dried tomatoes packed in olive oil and put half the jar in a sautee pan with some garlic and red pepper flakes, then I toss in small cubes of tofu until they crisp up...once they are crispy I toss in lots of fresh spinach leaves until they wilt. (couple mins). This dish tastes…

My boobage decreased significantly, I was oblivious to it until my family and friends starting making comments about how they dissappeared. :laugh: It's so true every body is different, I only wish I could have lost the weight off my waist/hips before my boobs! Oh well...the point is we are losing it somewhere which is the…

Good luck!!! I did my first one last October, SO much fun! I'm still improving too, it was the best thing I ever did for myself. :drinker:

keep us posted!

wasa crackers with red pepper hummus, string cheese, carrots and cherry tomatoes.

Hi there! I had a c-section a little over a year ago and I am happy to report that the pouch is almost gone! Obviously the scar has left an indentation, but I can deal with that! This is what worked for me...cutting out fast food, I was totally addicted! This was huge for me and in order to do it, I stopped eating meat,…

I used to have the same pain when I first started running. For me, my body just needed to get used to that type of exercise. I don't know if my form corrected itself or what, but I no longer get shin splints when I run. Just make sure your stretching before and after, and hopefully you won't have that pain anymore.

I am also from around Chicago and I went for a quick run in the freezing cold, and the same exact thing happened to me!! I could hardly breath and my head felt like it was going to explode!! I will wait until it's warm (40's) to try that again.

I had a couple slices of pizza the other day for the first time in a while, and it made me feel like crap! This morning I am actually hungover, but not from pizza. :drinker: yucky!
