Ok this sounds so simple- but canned soup! I just had the Chickerina soup by progresso and 2 cups was only 240 cals. So filling!!!!

OK- here's the deal... I was once like you.... I would take it.. even when I wasn't watching my calories as a crutch to help me maintain because my eating was out of control. So When I really decided to REALLY do this- (I signed up in April but really didn't start until mid to late sept.) I decided I needed to do it right…

Any other new favs- I am kinda getting burt out on my old stand bys?

Fit. I've been skinny before but never fit. I want people to look at me and say "she really takes good care of herself"

AWESOME- that's such a good feeling!

I really love to cook up egg whites for breakfast with Pam sray- 2 egg whites with one slice of kraft singles and the lo cal bread is 184 cals. It's completely filling and high in protein. Yum. I also like to use the kirkland egg starts. 1/2 cup is like 60 cals, I'll so that in a pan with some add some fresh spinanch and…

Amen, sister!

OK- that was a totally insensitive male thing to do. Guys are portortioned totally different so chalk it up to that being the reason he got into your jeans. Tell him if he wants in your pants there are other ways to let you know.. te-he. If you're exercising a lot you could be trading your muscle for for fat thus resulting…

I signed up in April but didn't start doing the program until late Aug. I am down 20 lbs. and feel better than I have in years. I just ran my first ever 10K- I may have been thin before having kids but I was never super fit. By the time I reach my goal weight I will be in the best shape of my life!!!!! Thanks to everyone…

Thanks. :flowerforyou:

Thanks for the good advice... I think I will do just that. The baby's down, I'll finish picking the house up, jump in the shower and actually do my hair and makeup dispite the rain and when I pick up my other son from school we'll go out somewhere...I feel better already.:flowerforyou:

I did an hour of hard cardio this morning, you think that would've done it huh? I think I am going to put my baby to bed ( I say he's a baby he's two :smile: ) and take a shower. Thanks for responding- I don't feel as bad or as lonely. Hopefully that will do the trick..if not put some tape on my mouth. :laugh:

I feel so depressed today... and really without reason... I want to eat everything in sight. It's either the rain my hormones or just missing my family ( we just moved across the country 90 days ago).... I open the fridge and want to eat everything in sight.....HELP. I had a cookie and I thought well one at 110 cals is ok…

When I started ( I signed up in April but didn't really start doing the program until late Aug.) I had about the same amount to loose I selected 1.8 lbs a week which gave me 1200 cals. I have been loosing an average of 2 lbs steadly. It lets you reset your cals as you loose weight- I went to reset mine after 10 lbs. and it…

I like to go out to Pei Wei and get the Lettuce Wraps. The whole dish is only 500 cals. VERY Filling! YUMMM-ooo!!!!!!!!!!

chicken tortilla soup- tell them no chips or cheese on top. Make sure it's the broth based kind. Really good and high in fiber/ protien with the beans and chicken. Very yummy- it's my staple when we go to Mexican food.

I think you just need to be ready to do this. If you are, than this is the place to be and and you will do well. When I started in April, I wasn't ready. In Aug. I finally buckled down and decided to do this. It works. What I have found is making small changes and eliminating nothing I am happily losing weight. What you'll…

Hey that's my FAVORITE Line!!!!!!!! I say it everyday when I want something I shouldn't eat... I say the fat girl wants it but the skinny girl trying to get out is going to have to say no!!!! I feel like I have a split personality sometimes!!!!! Slowly but surely I think the fat girl and skinny girl will meet!!!!!:laugh:

Have them trade you their candy for one toy each. Make it a BIG really COOL deal have them weigh it and give them a price per pound. Then take the candy and GET RID OF IT!!!!!!!!!! :smile: We did this last year and plan to do it again this year....A friend of mine started this b/c her son is diebetic and I thought it was…

I love this article- thanks for sharing!!!!!!!!! I was feeling a little nervous about Thanksgiving and this gives me a game plan!:smile:

I would just eat your "regular" calories and move forward. If you cut your calories you may just set yourself up for failure... you'll be hungry want to eat and then binge... starting that crazy cycle all over again. Move forward, eat healthy and be sure to get your exercise. You'll be fine. :smile:

I FEEL YOUR PAIN!!!!!! I did it last night! I was like, what there are how many calories in this... I glanced at the cals really quick in the store and only when I went to log in my dinner cals to MFP did I realize my mistake. Trust me, I won't make that mistake AGAIN anytime soon it cost me my low cal (but yummy)…

How about humus with veggies or melba toast.

I just found this site when I googled the calories in butterfish... it looks like it will be a good place to research for calories. http://caloriecount.about.com/

Thanks!

Anyone have a good recipe for banana bread? I was thinking one with applesauce instead of butter....

I love Luna bars- They make a mini that is 80 cals and 4 grams of protein, it's high in folic acid and a good source of calcuim. Caramel Nut Brownie is my favorite flavor.

I like to workout at the gym Monday through Friday and use the weekend to stay out of the gym and do something physical with my family- like go for a bike ride, hike, etc... that way I don't get "burnt out on the gym".

Love this.... it's all stuff we know, right? BUT- it's so good to hear and hear again. Thanks. I am glad your back.

Oh and my cell is in the car... so call on the home line.
