Sorry, I meant to say "sugar free" cookies. This is what my mom gets- https://www.walmart.com/ip/Great-Value-Sugar-Free-Fudge-Graham-Cookies-12-5-oz/36073905 If erythritol and sucralose don't count at all, that means the chocolate chip keto cookies I made are even better than I thought, and mom's sugar free cookies are…

Admit it. We're all a little motivated by our upcoming Halloween costumes. >:) o:) :D

I freakin' LOVE Halo Top! I've tried- Salted Caramel Cookie Dough Peanut Butter Cup Oatmeal Cookie All of them are great. Planning to get mint chocolate next. I wish more flavors were available at the store I shop at.

A pot of vegetable soup will run about $6. You need a soup or stock pot, and a mandoline slicer will be your best friend. Basics- Jar of minced garlic ($2.50, will make several pots of soup) 2 large onions ($1) a whole thing of celery ($1) 2 pounds of carrots ($1) 1 pound bag of frozen, french cut green beans ($1) Salt,…

I mash my daily avocado up with Opa Greek yogurt ranch dressing (specifically this one because it doesn't contain buttermilk, which tastes sad with avocado), and a healthy dash or 5 of chipotle powder. I eat this with some kind of chips. It's amazing with freshly baked tortilla chips.

Mini crust-less quiches Spray a muffin pan with cooking spray. Heat oven to 350. Fill cups about 2/3 with diced veggies, meats/meat substitutes, and cheese of your choice. Then pour in Egg Beaters (plain or southwest style) to cover the other ingredients. These will puff up a bit. I think they baked around 20-30 minutes.…

I just counted 75 minutes of light cleaning for my 2.5 hours of work sanitizing bottles. Had I actually counted 2.5 hours, it would have said I burned over 500 calories. I often count cleaning, but I always undercut it by half-ish. I always figure that I must be burning SOMETHING, but it can't possibly be THAT much. Edit:…

To kick diet soda, I switched to juice in the mornings for a while (before I started focusing on weight loss), and chai tea with coconut milk and brown sugar. When I started paying attention to calories, I cut out the juice and started drinking just plain tea with nothing in it. Now I mostly drink a plain glass of tea in…

Idiot proof? *snort* Puh-lease. I've worked at McDonald's, Burger King, and Taco Bell. When the mayo gun malfunctions and everyone gets 50% more mayo for the day, nothing can be done about it. Or you're in a hurry and accidentally do a double pump of guacamole. Or you accidentally put extra nacho cheese on the wrong…

This is crazy. As a consumer, I honestly thought that companies like that paid to have those tests done. I mean, if you're in the business of food, you should be all up in the business of your food. I DO understand minor discrepancies due to the human factor. I used to work fast food, and we had to weigh things to make…

I did Level 1, and then my life got all crazy busy and I haven't had time to get back to it for a couple of weeks. It's very high impact, so don't be afraid to modify some of the moves, and especially pay attention to the chick doing the beginner stuff on the right. I watched the Level 2 video, and I'm not sure how much of…

Oh, I'll never COMPLETELY give up coffee. I'll just never go back to drinking 2-3 cups a day along with nothing but diet soda, with maybe a glass of water as a 'treat'. I actually really love coffee (I wonder how many calories are in chocolate covered espresso beans...), but parallel to booze, I need to make sure I've…

It's been a decade, but if I recall correctly... I'm 5'5" and when I weighed 130 -135 pounds I was anywhere between size 8 -12. Also, I was wearing really old stretched out size 16 jeans right up until I needed a 20 - 22. Please don't use clothing sizes to guide your weight loss, or govern your feels. Use real…

Without actually seeing the meal or having weights for it, I can give you a rough guess. Large egg is probably 90 calories. 2 bacon strips is also about 90 calories Melon would probably be 50 calories That biscuit is probably 350 calories (you said you had half so 175) The chicken is tough, but at a greasy diner I'd…

I'M ALL CAPSLOCK EXCITED!!! I just put on my 2 favorite pairs of pants that I haven't been able to wear since 2010!!! The one pair is still a tiny bit snug, but I can put them on and button them. *does the "Happy in My Pants" dance*

My fiancé of 3 years left me December of 2012 (turned out to be the best Xmas present ever). I've since accomplished the following: *Quit smoking tobacco *Quit diet soda (was drinking this all day; every day - now occasionally drink a Zevia) *Quit coffee (turns out this was a major contributor to my anxiety attacks - still…

You probably shouldn't learn anything about chocolate. :brokenheart:

I make edible sex lube for a living. I literally make money off of being inappropriate. I could make a sailor blush. :laugh: Feel free to add me, though I'm having some technical difficulties so don't expect to hear much out of me in the next week or two. My stupid smart phone won't stay connected to the wifi to update my…

Here's my recipe for pizza quesadillas/personal thin crust pizza. I'm groovin' on the 110 calorie wraps, but if you use a regular flour tortilla (Reser's brand 10inch will only add another 40 calories) it'll taste a bit more like actual thin crust.…

I needed something for my Kraken, so I bought some Zevia to try. To the unaware (as I was until a few days ago), Zevia is a 0-calorie soda that is sweetened with stevia (a sugar substitute made from the leaves of the plant species Stevia rebaudiana) and erythritol (a sugar alcohol that naturally occurs in peaches, melons,…

If you're unsure of your bra size, please watch this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Jk55ep4XUQ This was seriously eye opening for me. I went from barely fitting a 40D bra to realizing I was a 38F. Made a WORLD of difference. I haven't measured myself completely since dropping 18 pounds, but I do know I've gone…

Originally from St. Louis: Soda Subs I've used Lightning Bug and Firefly interchangeably.* *Note: I'm now in the Pacific Northwest and don't use either term because we don't seem to have these bugs here. It makes me sad. Did you know their eggs glow? :smile:

Have you tried Nutella? Tastes nothing like peanut butter, but has the same calories and makes a great ice cream topping.

I'm down about 18 pounds after 2 months, and I just had to (literally) dust off my belt.

Nay. I drank almost nothing but Diet Pepsi for at least 7 years. I gave it up about 6 months ago, and it's one of the best things I've done next to quitting tobacco smoking. Ever since quitting diet soda, I crave sweet foods less often. I used to always NEED sugary crap and my blood sugars were constantly crashing, and now…

Litehouse has the most AMAZING Greek Yogurt dressings called OPA. They have a Feta Dill, and Blue Cheese that are 25-30 calories per Tablespoon. They also have Ranch and Caesar that I haven't tried yet. Off the top of my head here's a low-cal ranch you can throw together: 2 Tablespoons of fat free sour cream (20 calories)…

I don't consider it a new day until after I've slept. I keep odd hours (usually get to bed around 3am and up around 11am). So, for me at least, eating after midnight counts for the "previous" day.
