coffee - yes, it's a staple in our house cheese bananas eggs wheat bulgar (i'm addicted to a fabulous armenian rice dish) onions chicken rice stewed/diced tomatoes almond milk peanut butter jam coconut milk rice noodles sriracha sauce

Here are some general facts about almond milk. Not sure how it compares with cow's milk. Nutrition Facts of Almond Milk: Almond milk is good source of magnesium. It can help to break down the food into energy. It can also help in the functioning of the parathyroid glands, which produce hormones that are known to be good…

I'm an almond milk drinker as well, and it's really good! I'm lactose intolerant, so I had to find an alternative. I tried soy (even all the flavors), and although many of my friends love it, I just can't adjust to that one. Funny thing that I don't mind tofu or soy ice cream though. I also tried coconut milk.. not bad if…

Here's another one of my fav's.. Clean Eating Magazine has some great recipes. There are many that have been posted online if you "Google," them. Clean Eating is well known for using fresh, whole ingredients. Anyway.. here's the other one: Light Ensalada Rusa w/ Marinated Tomatoes 2 yukon gold potatoes 2 large carrots 1/2…

Because I have no idea what it's like living in India - do you preserve fruits or vegetables? I have a few recipes, but ones that seem simple to me still require some canned ingredients.. (tomatoes, etc..). One thing we like to do at my house is cut up potatoes, onions, peppers, zucchini.. could probably be done with most…

I've just returned to myfitnesspal after trying to track calories in my head for the last few months, but it's so much easier just doing it here.. plus you can't beat all the resources and support :) I started about a year and a half ago, and it is such a great tool for losing weight.. and the community support here is…

this is a good one: http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php sparkpeople.com also has a relatively easy recipe calculator. good luck! :)

yay! congratulations to you! :) :flowerforyou:

welcome susan and donna! wishing you the best on this journey! :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

i've now gotten two emails from MFP to remind me to track my foods. i have not been consistent in journaling everything i eat, but i have managed to not gain any weight. <small hooray> on the flip side, i am only halfway to my goal, so i need to get motivated again and start tracking everything. i could list a ton of…

these sound fabulous.. thanks for sharing the recipe! :flowerforyou:

this sounds absolutely delicious and the perfect dinner for someone like me, since i'm short on calories today :/

This is the site I found info: http://electronics.howstuffworks.com/wii-calories.htm But it depends on how vigorously you are playing.. obviously, if you are sitting on the couch, you will not be burning near as many calories. I will say, that I was definitly moving around and could feel my heart pounding in my chest and…

i did the boxing, but only during the "fitness training" portion.. and yes.. it's very hard when you're out of shape! and i probably looked like a complete freak.. not at all graceful :) i'll just have to keep working at it :)

i'll admit it.. i hate exercise... but we just got a wii, and i'm having so much fun playing it that i wasn't really thinking of the calorie burning potential it has. I've been playing tennis on it, and finally decided to look up the calories burned.. 92 calories per 15 min. session. not bad! and you do actually have to…

well.. let's see.. it's 20°F, we have about a foot of snow, it's starting to snow again (this was supposed to be the day that we don't get any snow).. another 8" coming on sunday.. all the schools are closed here.. we did get our garbage picked up though - we had to take it down to the main road, but it's gone! the…

argh! i'm trying to start off each day right, but by evening.. i'm usually blowing it by a cookie or three. today i am trying to do some housework and computer work to keep my mind off of it.. we've been stuck inside since monday night, so the kids and grandparents and my husband and i are all getting a little cabin…

holy pork tenderloin.. that's all i can say :bigsmile: the best, hands down, pork roast i've ever made. my family has requested this to be on the "regular dinners" menu. thank you, again, for sharing this recipe! :flowerforyou:

http://recipes.sparkpeople.com/recipe-calculator.asp gives you all the nutrition info and everything. :wink:

love love LOVE caribou! i wish they had a place out here.. for now, i just settle for the coffee club and have the grounds delivered. so back on topic.. i go for nonfat lattes.. or a dry cappuccino if i really need a kick in the pants. or if i'm out for the day, i'll plan my day around my favorite drink, but have a tall…

thank you for posting.. i will have to watch for this to go on sale :) i love cranberry juice, and it's a good thing since i seem to be prone to those lovely UTI's as well. :flowerforyou:

pigging out these days looks much different than it used to. so yes, i will be among those who are not counting calories this Thanksgiving :bigsmile: happy thanksgiving everyone!

i just added this to my recipe box.. too late to make it tonight.. but it will be on the menu this week sometime!

I got this from www.weightlossforall.com: Losing water weight When losing weight its inevitable that water will make up some of the weight loss. No matter how we lose weight or how long the weight loss takes everyone will lose water. Many factors determine the amount of water we lose in comparison to fat loss, they…

they are! and so easy.. it's just not right.. but in a good way! :bigsmile:

I'm not sure what the calories are on these.. probably depends a lot on how big/small you make them, but they are wonderful! The key to this recipe is to move quickly, so make sure you have your wax paper or parchment paper ready! Pomegranate Candies 1 Bag Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips 1 Jumbo Pomegranate, or enough to give…

soft tacos :) mmmm.. )

i am feeling much better now! sorry it's taken me this long to reply. here we go without holding back: part of the deal for me was that two of them were fully impacted and the third was partially (mostly) impacted. also, i have TMJ which made the recovery that much harder (jaw stiffness, couldn't open mouth very far -…

that's my new name for wisdom teeth. there is nothing wise or good about them. anyway. so after a week of not keeping track of calories since i had my misery molars extracted (my diet consisted of mostly mashed potatoes, oatmeal, and boost high protein drink), i LOST 2 lbs! i'm now out of the 170's and into the 160's..…

THANK YOU! :flowerforyou:
