This recipe came together by chance. It is yummy, bright and fresh. A friend perfected the dressing. You can add or subtract fruits or veggies that you prefer. Enjoy!

At the movies I love, popcorn with chocolate covered raisens, together...Love it!

I am addicted to Fage Cherry yogurt! I gotta have it! I like it straight out of the carton or with a sliced banana and a 1/4 cup of walnuts stirred in! I love the texture and the flavor of the cherry!

Trader Joes has really good Pineapple Salsa and Peach Salsa, the best ever! Also, try Whole Foods.

You are very brave and much stronger than most! You should be very proud of your determination and your comitment to your self, your health and daughter. That is an amazing transformation in a very short time. You will probably never know how many people you inspired with your story, thank you for sharing!

try this if you like yogurt; one container of Fage greek cherry yogurt, 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts, 1 sliced banana; stir it all together in a bowl, makes a great snack or breakfast, yummy almost "dessert" like, and the protien keeps you full and satisfied longer.

I have a few ideas; air popped pop corn apple slices with a tablespoon of peanut butter banana sliced into cherry greek yogurt laughing cow cheese with a portion of crakers grape tomatoes small bowl of Kashi cereal with coconut or almond milk 60 calorie chocolate jello pudding cup baked apple with sugar free maple syrup…

Have you tried the bread rolls from Texas Road House? OMG! Irresistable! Hot out of the oven with butter or not they are GOOD! High in calories though about 220 calories each and there not that big :(....

I am an RN, in a hospital

I'm a nurse, I work 10 hours, usually start my day @ 0500, but I think nursing is a "health sabotage". I've noticed that most nurses eat anything, "when they can"... I lost 17 lbs doing this last summer, injured my knee and lost my way, so I'm back; just started this week! (I've gained 5 of the 17 lbs back) The most…

Use the internet to look up high protien recipes, my MD recently put me on a diet that requires me to consum 25 grams of protien per meal or 75-77 grams per day. So, I looked on the internet and found simple recipes, for b-fast, lunch, dinner and snacks, it is really helpful. Think simple, easy and if you plan weekly it is…

sounds great, I'm gonna try today!! thanks for sharing!

I would like to suggest to try and forget the #'s on the scale and refocus your efforts on being healthy. Do you realize that what you are doing is excellent for your health today and the future? You are setting a wonderful example for your children, family and friends. I try to think every morning about my daily "health"…

Wow, so very impressive to look at your pics, it is a huge inspiration to look at your transformation! You look younger, healthier, way more energetic and sassy!! I've been doing this since 6/1 and have lost 15 lbs. but have been at a stand still for about 8 days, too many cals in... Feeling in a funk... but, honestly,…

oh, oats! that sounds like it would be better! I'll try it.

i made this recipe, it was exactly the same with a tsp of vanilla added. I cooked them on a griddle and they kind of burned, even thought the griddle wasn't high. They also were kind of mushy in the center, are you sure there is not a missing ingredient? Just wondering???

Hello, what is a gastric sleeve?

There is a Weight Watcher recipe where you take a cake mix, like spice cake and mix in 1 & 1/2 cups of applesauce and it makes really yummy muffins, I don't know the calories but I remember one muffin was 3 points. I bet you could substitue any cake mix. You would probably have to wing it on the icing though, use splenda…

Are you drinking enough water? Also, w/ L/B can you take fiber? Kashi go lean has 10 grams of fiber for a small bowl. I haven't had a L/B but I have know others who have and I am a RN, so I was just interested in your post.

Very well said. I think you are right on. It is as individual as a fingerprint. Each of us has our own "clicker", hopefully some epiphany and or realization that a change needs to occur and that we are the "driver" of that change; only then will the changes involved almost seem "easy". But until that "click" happens it is…

you are so pretty, thanks for the post it is so inspiring!

Blend it in the blender with roasted or any kind of garlic, pepper, Mrs. Dash or even a package of Ranch Then dip veggies in it, like red, yellow and green peppers, jicama, carrotts, celery, radishes, sweet peas, or anything else you would like to dip. Very good. My mom makes it for parties...

Well said, it seems to be all about her being fat! If she had been cute as a button and charmed the usher who moved her and her friend up to "better" seats there wouldn't have been a discussion.... Prejudice is when we generalize, all fat people are bad, lazy, ugly and deserve to stay home.

Very well said! Focus on a solution rather than the problem. The problem belongs to the individual and I'm sure she did not really feel "rewarded" for her obesity.
