  • Me, I like the looks of the second recipe more than the first. More add-flavor ingredients: herbs & spices. The nutritional profile looks better too, and esp important for me is the potassium, mine is high right now tho' not real bad -- still; doc told me to watch my potassium intake so I am practicing awareness in that…
  • What a great thing to do. Rather than looking at a menu, distracted by the pix meant to tempt, You have your game plan in place. Excellent choice!
  • Yeah, I learned long ago that nothing really health-enhancing comes out of a window :>) We know what goes into what we make, esp if we cook with whole foods --which is of course first best-- it takes commitment cuz of the time factor but home-cooked with organic whole foods is the highest best! gyps
  • I am even now, on the net hunting down a (free) copy of The Biggest Loser Ultimate Workout -- if you've heard Stars On 45 it's that style -- I heard it playing in a mall store on a iPod docked to one of these concert-sound components for sale these days -- I went and looked at the iPod & sure enough, the display showed the…
  • The cupcake W/Mount Shasta frosting is a hoot OK. HAHAHA it is just now to the right as I type this !!! My p.o.v. is that this 'tempting' (case-by-case of course) food is stuff we see all day every day in any given place :>) I totally agree with JulsDiane's comment: It may be annoying but I look at it as they are paying…
  • What would You list as the major contributors to your success? This question from a guy who gained 4# his first week lol. I have the nature: OK, It''s strike 103 but I'm still in the batter's box, pitch another & maybe I can hit this one, but I don't want to have to keep diggin' & diggin' for more & more guts so as to…
  • Choices are offensive!?! Are they able to conceive that maybe, just maybe, their choices are offensive to You? A big piece of beefsteak used to be mouth-watering years ago but is disgusting today. you've got the right attitude, thetrishwarp, maybe their consciousness will rise a bit in response to your example! (gypsy…
  • These stories of family members tempting members amaze me. And the lawn clippings story? That's downright cruel! Stick around here for folks that understand, encourage, and support. Lawn clippings . . . oughta call the abuse hotline (gypsy walks away looking down & shaking head) They Are Not The Ones Doing Good Things For…
  • Hi! 30# lost by June? That gives April (30 days) & May (31 days) and the remainder of March (10 days) = 71 days -- You need to lose nearly a half-pond per day do accomplish that; 3.5 lbs/week. That's quite a bit and I don't know how realistic it is -- I am in NO WAY wanting to discourage You, but rather have You look at…

  • HA! Good to know of the soy sauce replacement use . . . talk about sodium reduction! TKS. gyps
  • Currently dead East of You on Hwy46 -- Sanford :>) I been outa shape for a while & need to start out easy -- my daughter just moved into an apt about 3 miles down the road & they have a workout room so I am gonna begin there. I've not seen it yet, but anything that I can use will be helpful at this point and I can dial it…
  • Gotta learn how to have the "Qoute" box display :>) For Sarah 44254, I like the way You go about it. While I was just out walking, I was thinking, "I wonder how many people nudge their numbers a little ... (or a lot) ... for whatever reasons we feel inclined sometimes to hide the truth. " I often say, "It's not about being…
  • An idea would be to fill out your profile & post a pic. That way, folks can find out a bit about You, commonalities, etc. I'm relatively new here myself, but, though each of our paths is individual, we are all on the same journey. Welcome and all support in meeting your goals! gyps
  • One quick guide: Vinegar is like EVOO -- the better it is the more expensive it will be. Incidentally, it's the same with nuts: Peanuts, typically the least expensive are not very healthy. At the other end of the scale are the healthiest (and most expensive) nuts: Macadamias. Buy smaller bottles of the selection offered in…
  • Morningstar Farms Recipe Crumbles (found in the frozen foods where the Soy Burgers etc are located) will give any dish that is strongly flavored (chili, spaghetti, any Italian, really, etc.) a far better nutritional profile and no one will come up to You and ask if it's "real" meat in the recipe. As for the tofu mentioned,…
  • I've never been a cutter, nor have I had any leanings in that direction, but I know a lot about a lot and all self-hurt behaviors stem from a lack of self-worth, self-value, and pain that is not expelled, but rather turned back on one's self. You have been abused, rejected, and left to deal with feelings that are WAY…
  • i gained 4# my first week here & was under my calorie intake every day! I think it's not a concern as long as we stick with the plan --look at people's tickers~it definitely works-- for me, I reduced my daily calorie intake. I give no advice; others whom have been here longer will know better what to say, but I know it's…
  • Go to the library & get some vegetarian cookbooks. Go through them & mark recipes pages with a bookmark that look good to You. Each week, go back through & make a shopping list from the recipes. Buy the stuff & make the meals. Take books to a copy machine & copy recipes for meals You liked. Over time, You will have a…
  • I revisited the site & searched Mixed Baby Greens -- no joy. A Search Of Boston Bibb Brought these results: http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/2474/2 Greenleaf Lettuce: http://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/vegetables-and-vegetable-products/2477/2 I did not line them up side-by-side but…
  • Many vitamins/minerals, but the way I read it, very very small % of daily requirements. I will research other types of lettuce & respond again. gyps
