OP: Is that an omlette with strawberries, sour cream and chili powder?

With the exception of a few frozen grapes to keep it chilly :)

You don't think there is nutritional value to juicing? Ever think about the fact that because we juice we are getting the nutrients of far more vegetables than a person could possibly sit down and eat whole? You're right about the loss of some fiber - however, can you sit down and eat a dozen carrots and a head of kale? I…

I only care for full fat, Nordica cottage cheese. (I wont touch the low fat stuff if you paid me) I eat it for breakfast almost every morning with a chopped up cup of sugar free jello (preferably lime or orange) Its like a creamy delicious dessert every morning.

I was shocked to see that in a lot of cases you could find a sugary crap cereal that gave you a bigger serving with less calories than a more healthy cereal ie:grape nuts, granola, kashi. A bowl of Berry Berry Kix was my treat if I had calories left over... Now I have a taste for rice krispies, puffed corn or puffed wheat.…

^ this x 2

The difference is this; My skinny cousin Tess is constantly told that "she is pretty", yet I'm told "you have a pretty face" - Like I said before, why comment at all? I'm sure the lady in the Safeway grocery line a couple weeks back was being sincere when she right out asked me when I "WAS DUE"!!! Completely inappropriate,…

I guess I just don't understand the need to give a "compliment" at all. I mean, by all means tell me that my outfit is awesome, or my boots are bad *kitten* - we could even go so far as to tell me I have gorgeous hair (which of course I do) but why feel the need to compliment anyone on their body parts???

Congratulations on the NSV! I am a clothes *kitten* - I have kept almost everything Ive ever purchased - from a 13 to a 24.... Its like Christmas for every 15 lbs or so I get to change up my wardrobe... I look forward to the day where I will hold a bonfire in the back yard to get rid of the ones I wont be needing anymore!

I hate knowing if there were a true Zombie Apocolypse I would be too slow to survive and would be one of the first to be eaten. I hate having to stuff my stomach in a pair of jeans sometimes creating Camel Toes ugly cousin, Moose Knuckle. I hate having to shop in the Ample Duds section - as if a 55 gallon trash bag with…

DVDLover - Do you ever post anything that is actually healthy? Ive seen nothing from you but fat and sugar laden foods. You never post the calorie count, which by looking at your recipes are EXPLODING with calories - are you some sort of troll that gets kicks coming on a healthy eating site to jerk with people? How do…

Congratulations! Keep up the good work!!!

^^^ YES! THIS! Absolutely its at leasts 1000 calories with everything being fried. I made my hubby some duncan hines strawberry cupcakes and decided to have one myself (sans frosting of course) and when I went into the database to enter it, there are foolios that seem to think that their prepared cupcake WITH FROSTING is…

OMG! YES! ^^^^ This! I had made my hubby some Duncan Hines cupcakes last night and chose to have one (without the frosting mind you). When I looked them up in the database EVERY Entry was WRONG. I mean, DEAD WRONG! By over half the calories! OMG People, you need to have a little common sense! There is no way on Gods green…

Holy Moly! Most radical transformation by far! You girl, are my new hero!!!

All this time wasted posting in this forum and you could have been working out. Id give up a little of your MFP posting time and exchange it for strength training.

Perhaps its that "whatever" for dinner thats holding you back...

I appreciate your sharing. You are a beautiful, courageous woman with an amazing life ahead of you! A woman with your drive, determination and bravery will go very far!

I guess through this process Ive learned that I no longer like Fast food. Never once will I tell you its because the taste. Its because Ive learned that I can satiate myself alot easier by consuming less calorie laden food in exchange for better choices and MORE of them. Enjoy your tiny cheeseburger. Ill make turkey…

cereal with whole, royal crest dairy milk. preferably, reeses puffs!

The Sun Salutation is my favorite and makes me feel so wonderful!

I was drinking those sams choice clear sugar free sodas and didnt see the kind of weight loss Ive seen since I stopped drinking crap! Its all about water, herbal tea and the occasional coffee with cream. ICED PEPPERMINT or SLEEPYTIME TEA IS DA BOMB!!!

I hate to break the news to ya, nomatter what salt you choose, the amount of sodium chloride stays the same :)

I only use Splenda because its derived from Sugar and not a man made sweetner. I only use about a teaspoon to a tablespoon a day.

Sprout's Chicken Parmesan Sausage, brussel sprouts, zucchini and some sort of starch (I let my hunny decide between rice, potatoes and pasta).

Only way I can think of is to measure the oil before you fry, then when you remove the stuff you fried, measure the oil after and divide the result by how many servings! Good luck!

Id be more concerned about what not losing the weight is doing to your body. You will have pain, but your joints and all should be used to carrying you around and will only get stronger and healthier.

I ALWAYS make my homeade meals into Recipes on MFP. When my meal is finished cooking I measure out equal size servings for my boyfriend and I and several leftover/lunch containers. Depending on how much I deem a serving to be the Recipe function will tell me exactly what Im eating. I cant imagine trying to figure it out…

Hey, just a heads up... I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the Champion sports bras Ive been buying from Target. They are about $18 a piece, but Ive gotten them for as low as $12 on sale. I havent bought any other work out clothes, but Id definately try out those sports bras. They even come in some way fun colors like Neon Orange…
