This is from the McCormick spices site. Greek Skillet, very similar to Hamburger Helper Lasagna but WAYYY better. My whole family likes this, even my 6 year old. 333 calories per serving. http://www.mccormick.com/Recipes/Main-Dish/Greek-Style-Skillet-Supper.aspx

Thanks, ladies. I'm going to give it a shot. Today was day 1. I don't lift again until Sunday.

I like the Almond Breeze coconut almond blend. 60 calories per cup.

I don't like plain water either. I also don't like the taste of artificial sweeteners. I do like Vitamin Water Zero or SoBe Lifewater 0 calorie. They are use Stevia-based sweeteners. I mix them in equal parts with water to save money. I've been doing it for a while and now I can't drink them straight because the flavor is…

I've been on Copaxone for 2 years this month. I was terrified of needles when I started so I was afraid to go very deep with the needle setting on the auto-injector even though I was in the obese category and there was no way I was doing it manually. I had lots of site reactions (bruising, hard knots and itching). After…

I had this show up about 2 years ago. I went to the dermatologist and he told me about the insulin resistance due to being overweight. He gave me Desoximetasone gel (corticosteroid) to put on it twice a day. It went away even though I didn't lose any weight at the time. It hasn't come back and since then I have lost almost…

I mix Vitamin Water Zero with equal parts or more water. Comes in lots of flavors. Sometimes I mix a SoBe Lifewater 0 calorie with water for more flavor options but they have more carbs and sodium.

I've had it in both feet at different times. The first time I iced and stretched and rested and it went away but i was not exercising at the time. This last time it went away after I started yoga. I have lost 43 lbs so far so hopefully i will not get it again. It is sooo painful!

I take them, too but for inflammation because I have MS. If I run out and don't take them for a dew days I don't see any difference in my weight loss progress so I don't think they really help much there. Just my observation.

Thank you so much for this recipe. I made it for dinner tonight and it was delicious. My 5 year old daughter loved it.

I am 38 years old and I was diagnosed with RRMS in April 2010. I've been on Copaxone from the beginning. At the time I was diagnosed I was at least 70 lbs overweight. After getting through 5 days of intravenous steroids for the numbness in my left leg I gained more weight. At first I was angry. Why me? After I went into…

I love yoga. My back has never felt better. You look like my pic. I wish I did!

Open a fresh jar and squish in a full paper towel. Put the lid back on and turn it upside down for a couple of days. Open the jar and throw away the oily paper towel. Eat in moderation. =)

I love this when I have a cold. It really opens up my sinuses and helps drain the congestion. TOMATO TEA RECIPE 2 cups V8 Juice 2-3 cloves Garlic crushed (use more if you can) 2 T Lemon Juice Hot Sauce (the more the better, so as much as you can handle) Mix and heat in a pan or in the microwave. Sip slowly and re-warm as…

The ACV is an acid outside your body but once inside your stomach it becomes alkaline. I drink the same recipe as you every night and no longer have acid reflux.

The Pure variety with Truvia in it is really good. The grape is my favorite. It's really good with a squeeze of lime in it. The tropical and the berry are good too. I like them because they don't have artificial sweeteners or dyes.

Actually, vinegar (as well as lemon) becomes alkaline in the body and will raise your ph. Ph lower than 7 is acidic. http://www.rense.com/1.mpicons/acidalka.htm http://www.livestrong.com/article/531375-does-drinking-apple-cider-vinegar-affect-your-bodys-ph/…

I used to get reflux so bad it would burn like it was eating a hole in my esophagus. It would make me cough until I threw up. I now drink 2 tablespoons of Bragg's apple cider vinegar with 1 tablespoon of honey and 6 oz of water every night before I go to bed. No more reflux and the vinegar helps level out the ph in your…

I made this yesterday and it is FABULOUS! I love it! Light and fudgy at the same time. Even my 5 year old daughter loves it. Can't wait to try other flavors. Thanks!

Way to go!

I was diagnosed in April 2010. I started at the beginning of this year trying to lose weight. I didn't get serious until May. So far I have lost 33 lbs. I don't do any special diet. I do take green tea supplements to ward off inflammation and vitamin D because I was deficient. Most people with MS are. The thing that has…

I mix store bought hummus 1/2 & 1/2 with non-fat Greek yogurt. Cuts the fat in half. Tastes great, just creamier. I eat it on carrots, bell peppers, cucumbers and falafel. Also Laughing Cow light cheese comes in lots of flavors and its good on everything!

I tried Hidden Valley Ranch Buttermilk mix with straight non fat Greek yogurt. It's thick and it has a slight twangy taste. Now I mix it with the yogurt, just a little regular mayonnaise and some skim milk to thin. It needs a little fat.

I love Zumba! Been doing it since March and I'm not bored yet. There are 4 instructors at my gym so there is variety in style. It's as challenging as you make it. You can take small steps and not do much with your arms or you can throw yourself into it and over exaggerate the movements. I even use 3 lb dumbells for some of…

Wellesse makes a liquid vitamin D3. I buy it at Walgreens or Rite Aid. Or you can ask your doctor for a prescription for a 50,000 IU gel pill that you can take once a week. It is very small. The same size as the 400 IU pills. I've been taking them for a little over a year plus about 2,000 IU daily and my level has gone…

The class that I go is similar to what you are describing. I have muscles in my arms that weren't there before and I've only been doing it since May. I count it as strength training.
