Oh gosh,now my stomach is growling! These are definitely on my list to make!

Definitely new clothes...then, after I've maintained for at least 6 months...a cruise vacation!

I've used broccoli slaw as a "filler upper" with shirataki noodles...it works really well too! I'll have to try the bean sprounts...

I gotta bump this thread for those of you who haven't seen or tried these yet...I am IN LOVE! Crunchy "crackers," 30 for 110 calories (or 27 if you try the other flavors) and that is a very satisfying serving. Just had them with tzatsiki...yum! PLUS...if I ever "go overboard" and eat the whole box (3.5 servings, 385…

Thanks for sharing! I read this recipe with great interest when I read it in the HG email...glad to know they are as awesome as they sounded!

Yum! The combo of black bean burger with guac sounds great!!!

Thanks for taking the time to write this out! I'm going to study up on it and give it a try!!

I make up a container of Crystal Light on pretty much a daily basis and add aloe vera juice to that. Can't taste it, to tell the truth. And frankly, am not sure what benefits it has provided. I think I need to give it more time (it's been ~2 months). I started it because it was recommended by Dr. Oz., specifically for…

I'm a Hungry Girl fan...but not sure about the gluten free/vegetarian angle. www.hungrygirl.com

Switching to maintenance is, in my opinion, way better than just ditching MFP for the holiday. Christmas comes every year, and so do lots of other eating-intensive holidays...doesn't make sense to me to just stop doing MFP for those times. Better to use MFP as a learning tool for managing the holidays differently than we…

I didn't even think of this! I'm a real blue cheese addict, but in this case I bet the ranch would be even better. Thanks for the idea!

Me too. Weigh every day, up by less than a pound. I'm happy with that. And, yes, on to the rest of the holiday-related food challenges!

Great work! I just logged for my 245th day, and I'm with you! 8 months down and great results to show for it! Well done you!

That is so great! Congratulations!!!!

Be gentle but firm with yourself. I suggest that you commit to logging in every single thing you eat on MFP every day. Get in the habit, and avoid the temptation to consider MFP the enemy--it's only a tool!!! I find that seeing the numbers has really helped in all kinds of ways...and I've got 245 straight logging days…

You look great, and I know you feel fantastic! Good for you!!!! Happy Thanksgiving!

I love grape tomatoes as a snack food. I can have a bowl and do the hand-to-mouth eating thing without doing damage...and I find the tomatoes very satisfying. Grapes, too, if they are tasty. If I'm wanting something sweet, I turn to Luna bars. Rather than just chow down on the whole bar, I cut it into pieces, put the…

I've had the same goal, and am making progress. Rather than try to change my getting-up time by a huge increment all at once, I've been doing it gradually...more or less 5 minutes at a time. I'm now able to get up between 5:30 and 6:00 am without feeling draggy, which is pretty miraculous. A year ago, my usual rising time…

I definitely can see a difference! Good for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow...all three are great ideas!!! Amazing how creative we can be, isn't it? :laugh:

Good for you! I bought new jeans (down 2 sizes, yay), and kept my old ones for chore work around house and stable. I don't bother to put a belt on them, and now I have to make sure they don't fall off me!!! Laugh

This is kind of tangential to the topic, but I have noticed--espeically now that it takes so much less for me to feel full--that the feeling of being stuffed is something I unconsciously look for when I'm stressed out. Last week was a BEAR, coming to a head on the weekend, and I noticed that I was highly motivated to seek…

Or use Whey Low Gold - 4 calories per teaspoon and awesome

oohhh....I have wonton wrappers in the fridge...think I'll try this with those. Could be potluck-worthy appetizers!!!!

How great is that?! Thanks for sharing such a heartwarming NSV...

Be careful about setting up unrealistic expectations of yourself. You had a fast weight loss up front, but realistically you can't (and shouldn't) expect to keep that up. If you can lose 1 to 1.5 pounds per week from here on out, that will be fantastic. I understand the desire to take the weight off quickly but, really,…

Great finger food (better than potato chips and I'm not a big popcorn fan): Grape tomatoes, the smaller the better; or I steame microwave a bag of fresh sugar snap peas and munch on those once they've cooled down a bit. A sweet treat that can't be beat. Fold a bunch of cinnamon into light Cool Whip, spread a mini Quaker…
