What a great idea!!! Thanks for sharing!

Try this Leslie Sansone dvd. I have it and I can feel it the next day after I do this one! Great upper body workout using the firm bands and not difficult.…

I think these recipes all look great! Although if you're looking for a lower calorie count, you can lower the calories a little by replacing the sugar with Splenda. A cup of white granulated sugar has 770 calories compared to a cup of Splenda which I believe has 96 calories. Plus, you can always replace eggs with egg…

Sorry I have been MIA for several weeks! Good to see everyone is still working hard!!

Amazing transformation!!! Awesome job!!! So happy for you! You look great!!

Thanks for sharing!

Ok, I'm going to try this and see if my kids notice! LOL!

Awesome!! Thanks for sharing!

Yes! I ahve been doing my Leslie Sansone dvd since I began this journey in Feb. I alternate it with other dvd's but Leslie is my favorite! She is uplifting and it's never to difficult and IT WORKS!! She has several to chose from. I am currently using the 5 mile dvd and wjhen i started, I could barely get through the first…

Thanks so much for sharing!! Can't wait to try these! I love pumpkin everything!!!

Mojitos are great! I would think that they wouldn't be too high in calories as long as they use diet soda water to make it. It's basically rum, diet soda, lime, sugar (splenda) and mint leaves. It's pretty stinkin' awesome though! Have fun tonight!

So glad to share yummy low cal recipes! I absolutely love pumpkin anything!! Going to try making a low cal pumpkin roll too and see how that turns out. I saw the calories for a regular pumpkin roll at the grocery today and couldn't believe it! 320 calories for 1 serving! So, if this low cal version works out, I'll post it…

I didn't know how the almond milk would work either but, I took a chance and it was awesome!

Check out this link to Hungry Girl's versions of these holiday favorites!! http://www.hungry-girl.com/biteout/show/1642 Make one of these healthy dishes to take and share. Also, I know that the low calorie version of holiday foods won't be available at my family's holiday dinners so I am using portion control and making…

Glad I saw this post! I too am at a plateu and I will also try to eat all of my exercise calories and see if this helps me too! Lots of great advice here!

Why not just take a break for the weekend and then start again on Monday? That way you get a break but, not too long so that you aren't going to fall out of your routine. If you go longer than that, you may not get back into the routine. Good luck!

Congrats!!! Isn't that an awesome feeling?! That happened to me too! I have never been able to wear even the largest plus sized costumes because I was always so big, and this year when I tried on the only plus size my costume came in, which was a 16-20, it was way too big. I'm going to take it back and try on a smaller…

I know that I love my 90 calorie fiber one bars, I also love the DQ fat free fudge bars @ 50 calories too! There's also only 75 calories in 1 serving of Light Lays, YUM! Or maybe even a sugar free pudding at 60 calories or a Skinny Cow Truffle ice cream bar for 100 calories! Hope one of these snacks fits the bill!

I'm glad that you are starting fresh, you still have 9 weeks to go, so there's plenty of time to turn this around!! You can do this! :smile:

Woo hoo!! Look at you go! Great job!! Sorry to hear that your little one was sick last week. That sometimes throws a wrench into our routine. You're still doing fantastic!! 16.6 pounds since we started is awesome!

I count the calories in my vitamins. After all, calories, are calories no matter where they come from. :happy:

How about Purple People Eater, Ghostbusters, Time Warp (Rocky Horror)?

I absolutely love some of the posts! Thanks everyone for weighing in on this! You all rock!

I like to steam or grill them. They are also delicious cooked in the broth of a roast.

Thanks! I never thought about my clothes weighing differently, depending on what I'm wearing! That's a good point! I usually weigh with the same pants,shoes and socks but sometimes I wear different shirts and sometimes they are my old shirts that are too big since I'm just working out and sometimes they are my smaller…

Ha ha ha!! Too funny!! Thanks for making me smile! :laugh:
