Use zucchini or eggplant instead of noodles and make lasagna.

I made buffalo chicken wraps for a super bowl party in the past, they were really good. Just cook some ground turkey with minced celerly, onion and carrots and peanuts. Then add a whole bunch of frank's hot sauce. Put scoops in lettuce leafs and you can add yogurt blue cheese dressing :)

I like getting Everything Bagel Thins and making breakfast sandwiches with them. I normally use egg whites, a slice of pepper jack cheese and a morning star sausage patty. You can add veggies to it as well.

If it's that time of the month it's normal to gain up to 7lbs of water weight! Also, do you weigh yourself the same time of week at the same time? Bc if not, I recommend that you start to. For instance, weigh yourself every Monday morning and don't touch the scale until the following Monday morning.

My tips would be 1) drink a lot of water, especially before meals 2) don't hang out near the food 3) just avoid dessert I gave up dessert for lent and thought it was going to be the hardest thing EVER, it was actually really easy. If you go into the meal/day saying to yourself I'm going to do A, B and C. Hold yourself to…

You can freeze them! Just reheat for a bit. 1 1/2 tablespoons bread crumbs 1 cup chopped onions 1 cup chopped spinach 3/4 cup chopped tomatoes 2 tablespoons chopped garlic 1 teaspoon black pepper 2 tablespoons chopped basil 1 tablespoon unsalted butter 2 cups reduced fat mozzarella cheese 4 large eggs (I would use egg…

I think my goal will be to do the bootcamp 2x a week and run 3-5miles at least 3x a week. Hopefully this works! I should probably cut back on the amount I'm eating as well, or at least eliminate my random days where I go over 1600. Thanks for all your help and feedback!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I haven't really changed what I'm eating much, I eat between 1300-1600 calories per day (except for Easter) and eat pretty healthy, no sugar or processed foods or soda. I'm definitely not carbo-loading before a bootcamp class. The instructors just say to come fueled and not on an empty stomach. I usually have a granola bar…

Change what you are eating before. Eat at least an hour before. Around mile 4 it always use to hit me. Don't eat as much fiber or coffee or bran or something that is known to hit you. It's called "runners trot." If you google it there are a lot of other suggestions on what to do.

My favorite restaurant makes a veggie enchilada with all kinds of squash and then onion. I have tried this at home in burrito, taco and enchiladas. I just saute them in taco seasoning, and then use the squash instead of meat in my tacos, burritos and enchiladas. With the right sauce on top it is amazing!

I cook mine in chicken broth first to add a little flavor. Also, in my opinion, these do not save very well.

Lean Cuisine flatbread sandwiches taste fatty but aren't. Sweet potato fries are a good alternative as well. Also, what about oven frying your chicken. Coat the chicken in bread crumbs (no skin) and bake in the oven until cooked and crispy. For your spaghetti, make your own sauce. Add vegetables to your sauce and let it…

bumb bumb bump bump bump!!!!!!!!!!

8 (me) + 539.9 (PGT) = 547.9 (NGTM)

I'm not sure if there is a low sodium sauce, however, I bet you could use less of the sauce and just add some of the spices and flavors that are in the hot sauce. The ingredients are listed below: * Aged Cayenne Red Peppers * Garlic Powder * Distilled Vinegar * Natural Flavor * Water * Salt

QUICHE! Just buy a frozen pie crust and some egg beaters! Use a cup of the cottage cheese to make it creamy a whole bunch of veggies some eggs and a tad bit of whatever other cheese you want. Salt and pepper to taste. Serve with a salad or fruit :)

WRAP TURKEY BACON AROUND THEM! Then put them on a cookie sheet with some Pam in the oven til the bacon is cooked.

This article provides Pros and Cons. http://www.dietsinreview.com/diets/the-paleo-diet/

I had a friend on this diet. She was able to last 2 months. I have read articles about this diet. I do not agree with it at all. When my friend was on the diet, she looked as if she was gaining weight. She was so focussed on eating chicken and lettuce that she at 5x as much chicken in one sitting as anyone should. I think…

With my experience it depends what you are looking for. If you are looking to burn fat I especially recommend interval training. You burn more when you switch it up. I just started a running program where you run and then walk and repeat. As you run longer you decrease your walk time if you are looking to maximize your…

Paula Dean makes one just like this! It's so good, well I changed hers a little for obvious reasons!!!

The race is October 3rd :)

The program I will be doing is through Fleet Feet. The program is only 8 weeks though! The only requirement is that I be able to run 30 minutes w/o stopping. We have group runs on Wed and Sunday. I'm really hoping that once I get to a point my body adjusts to running.

Make your own chicken fingers! I marinate the boneless skinless chicken first in lemon juice, lemon pepper and seasoning salt. Then I dip strips in bread crumbs and either bake or pan fry them in a little of olive oil. Or you can get the Long Grain Rice-A-Roni and cook the chicken in that with a lot of vegetables! Also,…

Vodka WATER! I put 2 shots of vodka (i use sky or goose) a lot of ice 1 whole lime and at least 1 cup water (add more if you still taste the vodka) If its cold and has a lot of lime it honestly tastes good. My friends all think I'm crazy and then they try it and love it!

Eggplant, squash and pasta! Tonight I diced up an eggplant, with 1 onion, 2 carrots, 2 zucchinis, 1 can of diced tomatoes, 2 tablespoons of minced garlic and 1 jalepeno! I cooked it in 3 cups chicken broth for about 15 minutes until it started boiling and then added some salt and 2 cups of whole grain macoroni, covered and…

I was told by registered nutritionist with Kaiser that to lose weight do not eat any of your "exercise calories." So where MFP says that if I spin for an hour I can eat an extra 500 calories the nutritionist said that I couldn't. It is very hard to come home after a workout and not eat those extra calories and I normally…

I always find the same problem. Check out the webpage below: http://www.healthstatus.com/calculate/cbc I also would try a spinning class! If you like the bike and you like pushing yourself you will love spinning!

Its about 285 mg depending on how much salt you add to taste.

I buy the "Eating Right Poppy Seed Dressing." It makes everything amazing. I typically slice up mango, spinach and a little blue cheese and put the dressing on top. :)
