Optimum Nutrition and Muscle Pharm make some tasty ones (and they dissolve easily without leaving clumps)

Chips are awesome! I don't (not can't, because you CAN do anything you set your mind to) control myself when I have chips -- I'll eat the entire bag in one sitting, and I know ahead of time that I will do this -- so I only buy a bag of chips about once every couple of months. If it's not in my house, I can't eat it. Unless…

My husband hates plain water, so he always uses a packet of drink mix (the ones he uses are 10 cals / packet) for each bottle -- he has no problem drinking water once it's flavored :) I can drink plain water just fine, but it took me a while to get used to it. I used to alternate a bottle w/drink mix and then a bottle of…

I bought a packet of peanuts from the vending machine at work one day, then got legitimately angry when I read the back because I could have had a bag of cheetos for the same amount of calories (yes I know the peanuts were healthier -- but the cheetos were calling my name & I made a "good" choice only to find out I could…

We make kabobs with mushrooms, green pepper, onion and zucchini --- always delicious! So far, though, I haven't met a grilled veggie that I didn't like :)

You go girl! That's a major achievement -- be very proud!! :flowerforyou:

I'm on the Optimum Nutrition bandwagon --- I mix mine w/skim milk, but I've used water before, too. We've tried the cookies & cream, double chocolate, chocolate peanut butter and the cake batter flavors -- all were very tasty. I drink mine as part of my breakfast; My husband drinks one after his morning & afternoon…

The only thing I "miss" (I'm not sure that I actually miss it, really, I think it was just such a normal part of my life for so long that it feels odd to not have it be at the forefront any longer) is the ability to eat whatever I wanted and have no consideration for the quality or portions. 3 lbs of Chinese food? Sure! A…

I'm also on the Quest bandwagon :) They are what I consider low-cal (esp compared to other brands), especially for the protein (20-21g per bar) For those of you who routinely buy them and/or like them but hate to spend the money (they are definitely on the expensive side) -- if you have a GNC near you, they are good to put…

The Ken's light dressings are pretty good -- I absolutely love their light Caesar. I make my own Ranch by mixing one container of light Daisy sour cream (I have tried the greek yogurt but the flavor is weird to me for some reason) and a packet of the Hidden Valley Ranch dry mix -- it makes a thick, dip-like consistency, so…

My husband and I buy the Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey protein (whey protein isolates) from GNC -- we've also bought it online. When we need more, we just compare sales price @ GNC (GNC has their 5lb containers BOGO 50% off fairly often) vs online price before we buy. We mix ours with skim milk, but like any other…

Stress is a huge one for me! My first reaction to stress is to start munching, and I usually don't stop eating until I run out of whatever was at hand, sadly.

I really enjoyed reading everyone's responses, and I'll add my 2 cents in-- I'm not going to say that he does or doesn't love you, because there's no way someone on the internet reading a description of your relationship can really tell you that. You know whether he truly loves you or not, so stick with your instincts. And…

You look amazing! And I absolutely love that skirt! :)

I know it's not super convenient if you're on the run, standing in subway, etc, but their website will let you customize a sandwich -- you can pick your bread, meat, cheese (if desired), veggies & sauces and it will calculate for you the calories, fat content, carbs, etc. If I'm craving subway, I'll play around on their…
