egg whites and whole wheat toast keep me going for hours. you can always chop in some onion,tomato or celery etc. to make it more like an omelette. i make whole wheat muffins (olive oil, 1% milk, egg white) and freeze them. you can pop one in the microwave or just take it out of the freezer before bedtime. you can add…

my body just feels better when i have some raw food every day. so that can either be a salad or chopped veggies and low-everything dip (even olive oil and lemon juice or apple cider vinegar makes a good dip) or raw fruit. i rarely eat fruit that is not raw. raw chashews or almonds are a favorite, too.

apple and jalapeno cheddar. why? i love cheese and i love raw foods.

buy a slow cooker. you can put ANYTHING into them! nothing like walking in the door after a long day at the salt mines and being greeted by the smell of a home-cooked meal! all ready and waiting for you...

good job, msjoshonda! your open mind will serve you well.

i make 'fries' using fresh potato cut into wedges (or whatever size or shape i fancy), spray with oil, add a tad of sea salt and BAKE them in the oven. you, of course, still have the full numbers count on the potato but it's not deep fried. they are amazingly good.

breakfast: 1% milk latte, 2 slices whole wheat bread, butter. lunch: half a honeycrisp apple, 30 g jalapeno cheddar dinner: caserole: brown rice, sausage, chopped red pepper, onion and celery, tomato sauce (low sodium). curry powder, basil, grated parmesan. snack: thawed/frozen blueberries.

i cheaped out and just bookmarked her 15 minute walk freebie. http://www.walkathome.com/ i use it on rainy or snowy days when i don't want to go out for a walk. i've lost 17 lbs and my main exercise is walking, so her workout is part of that. i love walking (and hike when i can, tho i have an arthritic knee). walking does…

- to hit '20 lbs lost' (almost there) - to feel fitter (which i do after every time i exercise) - to get in some 'movement' (exercise) every day (i'm committed to exercising 6 days a week but rarely take that 1 day off) - weekly weigh in...when i loose anything at all, that is the reward - to feel more comfortable in my…

great idea. i like to visualize 17 lbs of butter sitting on a table in front of me! that's what i've worked off...and when i carry anything around that weight amount i definitely talk to myself about the fact i used to carry that on my frame...
