Thanks! That's great idea. Didn't think of it.

All of you seem to think the same way. I feel that way to, but then I get in trouble by not eating all my calories. My personal trainer said I'm exercising too much and not eating enough. I never thought I would see the day when a skinny person tells me, "You're not eating enough and working out too much". Great problem!…

Agreed..... can't wait to taste it.:blushing:

I'd say... so what about the dress? Get a new one! You are looking great. I just started on my elliptical doing a circuit with that and cycling and step at home. I alternate and I love it. Burns huge calories

I met my hubby online 12 1/2 years ago. We have now been married 12 years this month. I had one daughter, he had 8 children. I finished raising most of them (the youngest was 7 at the time). Someone told me a cute story years ago about how we all have colored dots on our heads and God moves us around where we are supposed…

Since we won't be judged for eating on that day, I'd say you are safe doing whichever.... if on the other hand, you stick to your diet but have issues with other major sins and the world ends on the 21st .... the time to repent is now! By the way, the world will never end. The world will be changed and restored to it's…

Sounds great. Thanks!:flowerforyou:

Time to go! You can do this! I know, because I have. I have fought weight my entire adult life. I have learned that the secret to weight loss (besides eating properly) is exercise. So many things count. Today, I'm going to the Zoo with my grandchildren. In two hours of walking very slowly, I will have burned 454 calories.…

As women, we tend to beat ourselves up for just about anything. I would hate to think that you regretted anything about your wedding day. I agree with the earlier posts. You will be moving all day today. DO NOT think about food. It won't matter. You wil have burned it off if not all of it, most of it. And then.... it takes…

When I feel "out of control" or approaching it, I have a conversation wtih myself about what is going on in the moment and remind myself that food won't change it. I tell myself things like, "I will be dissapointed in myself if I give into that type of behavior" or "that food won't taste near as good as the joy I feel from…

Thanks.... sounds awful, but with such good comments, I'll give it a try.

Just my kind of meal... thanks!

bump. thanks!

You can make mashed potatoes (faux) with this same type of recipe. (Whipped cauliflower). It tastes just like mashed potatoes although the texture is not as smooth. Still very delicious.

Bump!!!!!! Thanks. They have been doing this dessert at our Sam's. Very nice of you to share a "better for you" version. I'm definitely going to make this.

bump. Thanks

When I am doing vacation, I allow myself a few things that are "vacation foods". That way I feel like I have enjoyed those. To me, one bite tastes the same as 50 bites, so try just a bite or two, or make a few bites last for 10. Mostly, we are after the flavor and enjoyment of that moment anyway. Load up your plate with…

Body for Life tells you to have a cheat day on their plan. For me it is easy to diet and be careful through the week while work and things are happening. I think having a meal to look forward to each week that allows you to splurge is great movtivation and worth working for.

Definitely adding these to my recipe collection. It must feel like getting away with murder!
