Very fast to make for breakfast- scoop cottage cheese, stir in cup of fav light yogurt. Also good with any kind of fruit, or with sliced tomatoes. I think I need to use it more- thanks for all the ideas!

I love quinoa too! You can use it like a hot cereal with your favorite add ins. We also eat it as a side dish instead of rice, with a little Bragg's amino or butter substitute and seasoning. You can use it in cold salads, there is one I am making tonight but I don't have the recipe with me right now. It has quinoa, black…

Not very original, but I made these 3 last week (all yummy) All measurements to taste and calorie needs Fat free milk, fat free plain yogurt, frozen mixed berries, fiber (ground flax, whole oats, etc) dab of honey and packet of splenda. FF milk, FF plain yogurt, 1/2 banana, dab of peanut butter, fiber, honey/splenda Diet…

ncherokee- I agree, our bodies tell us more than the mirror or our friends! I know my joints hurt more when I am heavy and I have less energy. Best wishes to you in your journey!

Hi and welcome. I am sort of new, I used to use this site a lot but I just started using it again yesterday. I too want to lose about 50 lbs. What is your plan of action?

Thanks for your support, it really helps :)

well back to day one today I really blew it yesterday! Hope tomorrow will be a day two for me. Keep up the good work, ya'll!!!

I would like to jump in on this challenge even though joining late :smile: For me, a binge is when I eat without being hungry, mostly in the evening. I will eat anything that I can get into my mouth, while I am fixing dinner. By the time dinner is ready, I am full but too ashamed/embarrassed to not eat with my family so I…

the spa cuisine line from Lean Cuisine has a great frozen meals. My favorite one is the Lemongrass Chicken with brown rice and some mixed veggies. Very yummy! I also love the WW Smart ones Lasagna Florentine-it is really filling and seems decadent and rich!! My friend said the new Smart Ones quesadillas are fabulous but I…

That's AWESOME!!!! Good for you :)

and cottage cheese! I like mine with a few walnuts or almonds on the side or even some turkey sausage links. I have this for breakfast sometimes.

oh yeah duh I forgot to mention hardboiled eggs!!!

My tried and true low/no carb snacks: String Cheese Celery w/ peanut butter, hummus or cream cheese Nuts - lots to choose from SF Jello with a dab of cool whip (you can do the reg, lite or FF they are all low carb but fat differs) SF/FF pudding with a dab of cool whip Rolled piece of turkey lunch meat with slice of cheese,…

thought I'd share a really fast and easy meal or snack: 1/2 cup oats (quick) 1 cup water microwave about 2-2&1/2 minutes add some Maple Groves Farms sugar free maple syrup (really yummy) or some sugar free jam (raspberry or strawberry is delicious) 1/4 cup skim milk more or less depends on how you like it eat and enjoy!…

I am learning that the key is to stave off hunger by having a snack and h2o before the munchies hit AND to plan activity. Boredom and stress greatly enhance my problem. Thanks for the great feedback.

keep up the good work! Congrats!

thank you! I am going to try to print the list it is fab!

meat?

thank you both! I did ride my bike this afternoon before my urges hit and now I am enjoying a huge cup of hot tea. So far I have not snacked. What sort of foods do you use when you need to snack and munch but not use many calories? I am thinking SF jello w/ FF cool whip, raw veggies. I need something filling!

Hello friends! I have a terrible problem. I get home from work around 4-4:30 pm and I can't stop eating!!!! I snack until dinner, then I eat dinner. I will eat dinner even if I am full from snacking! I think this is a common time of day for people to overeat/binge. Does anyone have any advice or tips to help? I eat really…

um hello anyone ever heard of JOHNNY DEPP:love: ??? He is my #1, also George Clooney, Nicolas Cage, Mick Jagger. Brad Pitt is pretty but I am not into blondes. Also wouldn't want my man to be prettier than me :)

Hi everyone! I am here to renew my "vows". I have NOT been eating right and it really shows in the extra fat on my body and the blow to my health and self-esteem. I really want to get back on track. I was so discouraged after doing everything I was supposed to for 2 weeks and only losing one pound. It sort of sent me into…

OK I am in! Will do my morning 10 now (or maybe 5 then 5 later :)

I forgot to mention yogurt- for breakfast or snacks. try mixing your fav. flavor of light yogurt with about 1/2 cup cottage cheese. Fills you right up!

Breakfast: grapenuts with FF milk, cottage cheese with some fruit and a few walnuts or almonds, oatmeal with sugar free maple syrup or no sugar added jam is SO YUMMY and filling. I too work as a nurse and I keep string cheese, nuts, fruit and hard boiled eggs around for a quick a.m. snack. A new discovery of mine is the…

I thank you all for the feedback. I was thinking of doing it for reasons of faith and also to lose weight. There are some interesting bible studies that discuss just that issue about Paul's writings and did his words really mean to eat whatever we want. I think there is something to the fact that if we eat what was created…

Looking for feedback on following the bible diet or maker's diet. This is an eating program where you choose foods based on the recommendations in the bible. Has anyone here done this and what were your results? thanks

I thank you all for the support, I am not the one who started this thread but I appreciate your feedback. I especially like the idea about thinking today only counts, not yesterday or tomorrow. In my case, I may have to take baby steps like "only this 5 minutes count" in order to get through a whole "today". I am stuck in…

I can relate. I too totally suck and have been binging and gaining weight. I really can't stop! It's almost like an out of body experience, I can see and feel the fat growing and it doesn't seem real. I lost a lot of weight a few years ago and now I am feeling like I did before, its almost like seeing an old friend again,…

I haven't tried the Kellogg ones but I LOVE the South Beach ones, they are called "Tide me Over" 30 cal, 3g protein, 5g fiber. Yummy, esp. the Natural Tropical Breeze flavor. They really do fill you up for awhile, enough to make it to meal time :) Plus it makes it a cinch to get in extra water.
