Great job! You're on the right track :happy:

I use spiral pasta, black olives, peas, and about 1 ounce of cheese in small cubes per 2 servings. Add Kens Steakhouse light options Olive Oil dressing and it tastes wonderful. You can add whatever veggies you like to bulk it up. I usually add asparagus and green peppers but I've also added cauliflower, broccoli, green…

I'm 41 and needed to lost 85- although I'm down 30 so far. HUGE dog lover! Feel free to add me as a friend. By the way, I have a pitbull mix!

Eat healthy, eat clean, move your body, and keep enough calories set aside for wine :happy:

I make something similar, but use couscous. I will often add garbanzo beans and/or low fat feta cheese along with my veggies of choice. Yummy!

Welcome to MFP! Feel free to add me as a friend!

Thanks! I know we used to refer to them as free foods, and was wondering about the science of it. Always heard about lettuce, celery, and some other veggies, but never the fruit (although this explains WW "free fruit and veggies") I think others assumed I would be deducting calories everytime I ate them... or maybe count…

A lot of places have decent options, but you really have to look. Most will have some kind of fruit slices as an option for the kids meals which can be bought seperate. Also, Wendy's chili is not bad- small is 210 calories, large 310. If you aren't sure what to get- stick with a kids meal. Starbucks is another great option…

Zotz! Loved them and now I have a shop and sell them- I am like the local drug dealer letting the kids have one for free. They come back the next day and buy tons!

Love the sausage links and spicy bean burger, but stay away from the meal starter "chicken" strips!

I could use the same thing... and I'm in Indianapolis too! Sending you a friend request!

I am soooo trying this! Thanks for the tip!

I know how you feel. I am the same way- once people start to notice, I get uncomfortable and regress back to my old eatting patterns. For me, I have to focus on why I am doing this... for me, to feel better, to be more comfortable in my own skin. There is nothing that says you can't take a bread. You've already lost a…

I had the same issue- I am fine during the day, and plan my breakfast and lunch in advance. But I know when I get home I will be more apt to eat too many calories. I have started to have some higher caloric items in my house. For example, if I'm having a good day and low on my calories I will use regular salad dressing…

What a differance!! Good job and keep up the good work!

Thanks guys! Good to know I'm not alone!

I don't weigh fruits- I select the size (small, medium, large). I know this is not as accurate, but I don't think I have ever met anyone who is heavy because they ate too many bananas!

I'm ready to be under that 200!

I like to take a fruit (sliced strawberries, pineapple, or grapes usually), hummus and pita chips, and some deli meat. Another popular choice for me is pasta salad- pasta, low fat italian dressing, peas, light cheddar cheese, black olives, and whatever veggies I have around. Why not a sandwich? I like to use cream cheese…
