I can't stand when the toilet paper goes under....it should always go over. My towels have to be folded a certain way...I am a bit OCD about it. I have 5 tattoos, about to get my 6th

you can do breakfast tacos for dinner...egg beaters, turkey sausage, fat free cheese and wrap in tortillas then wrap those in aluminum foil...make it easy to eat. Or how about meat/cheese kabobs and fruit kabobs. Take your ham or turkey (get it thick cut at the deli), cube it, and alternate with sharp cheddar cheese (and…

I hear that Mrs. Dash seasonings are great ....have you tried them? I haven't, so I can't tell you from personal experience, but I plan on getting some next time I stop at the grocery store...salt is a big issue with me...as in, I LOVE IT. So, I am hoping the Mrs. Dash will help me decrease my salt usage.

Sounds great! Do you know the calorie count per serving?

I have to plan what I am going to eat, even more so on the weekends. And if I end up going out to eat, I research the nutrition facts before going. I log what I am going to eat before I order and then I stick to that. It's okay to treat yourself once in a while, but dont go overboard. You'll get into the habit and it will…

You look GREAT.,..and I LOVE the shoes!

I heard from a trainer to eat some whole wheat toast or something along those lines before working out and then eating a real breakfast after working out, like eggs or oatmeal.

I do her videos. An average 15 minute mile burns about 100 calories....hope that helps!

get the lean 93/7% meat...one serving is 4 oz, so it's about 1/4 of the package. You can also cook chicken in the crockpot with taco seasoning, and then shred it up and use that in place of the hamburger meat. You can make your own tortilla chips with corn tortillas...cut them up and cook in a 350* oven until crisp (spray…

That's awesome! Good job! Congrats!

I totally am guilty. I always say...I won't weigh until Tuesday, but then I find myself on that scale almost every day...at least every other day. Tuesday is my official weigh in though, and that's what I chart...But, I understand where you are coming from completly!

I do strength training/circcuit training in the morning for 30-45 minutes , before the kids get up (or sometimes after I drop them off at school...depending on my schedule), and then I do cardio for 30 minutes after they go to bed.

What a difference! You look great!

welcome!

I made a turkey meatloaf, roasted red potatoes, and broccolini sauteed in a bit of EVOO and garlic and then mixed with some melted lauging cow cheese. SOOO good.

I love Kashi Cinnamon Harvest. I also heard they have another one called berry squares, or something and it's 100 calories for 3/4 cup! I will be finding that one soon. :)

welcome and congrats on your upcoming wedding!

you can also look at my dairy. lots of times i'm in the 1400-1500 range. My goal is 1200, but I eat back some of my exercise calories too....

My sister's in law's live in The Woodlands and my sister lives in Houston. I love the Woodlands when we visit...its so nice there!!

I pound the crap outta my chicken so it's a thin (and ends up being huge) chicken breast. I pan fry it with about 1/2 tbsp of brummel and brown and seasonings and tomatoes/onion/garlic, or baste it in 2 tbsp of bolthouse farms honey mustard dressing and then cover with panko breadcrums and bake for about 35 minutes at 375.…

I have hypothyroidism as well and take synthroid. Even when just doing synthroid, the doctor said "oh the weight will start to fall off". Not so much....never happened. I now work out two times a day (45 minute circuit training in the am and 30 minute cardio in the pm) and watch my calories, etc...I've lost 15 lbs since…

you look great. good job!

I went through a divorce in 1997...and lost a ton of weight too, from depression/not eating. Then I met my current husband 10 years ago and gained and gained!

sending request now. :)

I did a box of spice cake mix and a can of pumpkin and baked in muffin tins...i think one is 185 calories. a bit high for a little cupcake (which came out like a muffin), but still good. I store them in the freezer and when I feel like I need one, I take it out, microwave for 30 seconds and I'm good to go. It came from…

welcome and good luck! sending a request now. everyone can use motivation and support! :)

my favorites are with pineapple, or just with pepper....so good.

I would suggest strongly to eat at least 1200 calories. Plus, your body is now used to the low calories you take in, and if you bump that up, it should shock your body. Maybe have some peanut butter toast and a glass of milk in the evening (soy, almond, skim, 2%, whatever)...that would get you closer to the 1200 calories.…

haha. I'm a bit obsessed with it too. Good job on your burn today! It feels great, doesnt it??
