These are what we call "Charlie Browns" except with Nutella instead of peanut butter. I have never thought to lighten the recipe OR replace the PB with Nutella. I can't wait to try this!!

My one cup of coffee a day with one tbsp of flavored creamer and one tsp of sugar. It's a small 6 oz cup of coffee and i love it, I look forward to it and I'll not give it up!!

Low sugar spaghetti sauce- $1.68 Box of Barilla whole wheat spaghetti noodles- $2.12 Large package of fresh sliced mushrooms- $1.88 This will make four meals at a total of $1.42 per meal. You don't have to cook the whole jar or box at a time. I would make half, that way you can eat it for two meals, then the next week make…

Awesome!! Made my day to read this, thanks!

I too am up at 4:30 to get my workout in because I can easily talk myself out of it after a long hard day. I do intervals on the treadmill while watching the early morning news four days a week and weights two days a week. I'm learning to love those early mornings as it really gives a boost to my day! As for food, I plan…

I use a pre-baked whole wheat crust, Wal-mart brand pizza sauce, canadian bacon, pineapple and topped with 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. The pizza sauce is lower in sugar than other brands, I use the one serving size of canadian bacon and cut each piece into fourths and place on top of the sauce, then can of…

I'm going to cube some chicken breast that I have thawing, saute it in a pan then add a bag of steamed broccoli to it with 4 tbl of Kung Pao sauce and portion it over 1/2 cup of brown rice.

I have the Hamilton Beach and while it was one of the cheaper ones, we're finding that it works just fine. As far as clean up goes, I put a Wal-Mart plastic bag in the container where the pulp comes out and that makes clean up super easy!! Good luck with whichever you end up purchasing,:flowerforyou:

Yeah, my cheat "days" were actually cheating three day weekends. They would start Friday night and end Sunday!!!! :noway: I've limited myself to one meal a week, usually on Friday or Sat night....then right back to plan. That seems to be working for me. When I'm feeling deprived :sad: I just remind myself of my cheat meal…

I eat an apple and some walnuts for my morning snack usually and hummus and celery for my afternoon.

Exactly....I love salads and veggies too, but like you, I'm not craving them. It has rained here for nearly 2 solid months, I'm thinking if the sun came out it would help.

OMG....why does cold weather want to make you eat anything and everything????????? We are actually having a cold Louisiana winter this year and all I want to do is eat gumbo (oil and flour base:noway: ) Drink high calorie coffees and sit on my tushie and do nothing:sad:

That looks like a great machine!!!! I also love the room it's in!!!! It makes it seem like your outside.

I'm not a big poster...but I just wanted to say I love the enouragement here!!!! I love all the encouraging words everyone has posted following some of our slip ups!! If It were not for coming back to post here today and logging my food I don't know how long it would have taken me to get out of the holiday food binge!!!…

Take it from someone who's lost 100lbs three different times taking pills, food is not an issue for you now but as soon as you quit taking those pills your appetite will come back with a vengance. The only way to overcome the food struggle is to re-teach yourself how to eat....and that's HARD!!! It's all about decisions…

Hi, Welcome:flowerforyou: This is my first six week round, my understanding is that it's open to anyone and everyone. We have our last weigh in next Tuesday and I think our fearless leaders are working on a title for the next six weeks!!:wink: They will be posting more details as next week gets closer I'm sure.

Ali, I DO feel great, thank you!!! I'm at the beginning of my journey and have alot to lose so it's coming off fairly easy right now. I'm just eating clean and getting my excercise in and it's working for me now. I was extremely suprised that I had such a great loss when I weighed on Tuesday......I've been horribly worried…

Love my coffee and I give up calories elsewhere so I can have my flavored creamer in it. I only drink one small 6 oz cup and that is the absolute one thing that I look forward to so I feel as long as I keep within my caloric range it's allowed.

I have recently discovered almond butter and i'm in love:love: I eat on my double fiber whole wheat toast and it's wonderful:drinker:

Thanks so much for figuring and posting the percentages....it's motivational!!!!:flowerforyou:

Cucumbers are very good for you, especially when you consider the alternative!!! I slice one and pour 2 tablespoons Newman's Own Light Balsamic dressing over it. I think it's a great snack and I buy 5 weekly just for that reason. Cucumber is a fruit and a member of the cucurbitaceous family. Like melon, squash and…

Thank you!!! I have to bring something to a Thanksgiving Brunch on Sunday morning and I just decided what to bring...these sound great!
