If you like Indian food, you will love this. I make it often and it's great with or without the brown rice; especially in the winter when I need something to warm me up. You can certainly play with the amounts to hit the calories you need for the day. Here's my typical serving: Recipe link:…

I love my Fitbit too. I have the Alta and love that I can see stats daily as well as the weekly comparison. I have definitely become more active wearing it, and it motivates me to move more. I've had it almost a month now and feel great walking 5 miles/day. Never ever thought I'd say that, but it really is addicting (in a…

I've seen it in the fresh produce aisle. Not sure about frozen but it might be there as well. Look at the area where they package prechopped things that are refrigerated. It's usually by the prediced veggies like onion/pepper combos. Depends on the store. I made the cauliflower fried rice recipe and threw in some…

I've made chinese "fried rice" using cauliflower and it was delicious. Here's the recipe I've tried: http://therecipecritic.com/2015/01/cauliflower-fried-rice/ You can even buy bags of cauliflower rice if you don't own a food processor to make the rice. Spaghetti squash isn't bad with tomato sauce over it, but the thing I…

Feel free to add me as well; always looking for others in the same boat who can encourage and need encouragement. HW: 238 CW: 178 GW: 138

SW: 181, CW: 179, GW for challenge: 154 Ultimate GW: 136 May 30: 181 June 6: 179 June 13: 178 Still struggling with inflammation in my foot so not as much physical activity as I had hoped, but scale still heading in the right direction. :smile: Hope everyone had a great week.

I've lost 60 lbs since January. Still have a ways to go, but happy to see progress in photos.

I love cutting up an apple and adding cinnamon. Yum!

You can make your own! Nut butters are pretty easy to make in a food processor or high powered blender (like Ninja, Vitmix). Best part, all it takes is the nuts. You don't need to add anything else and it comes out delicious.

I love my zucchini noodles raw. They have a mild taste and great texture like spaghetti. I use regular tomato sauce (heated or not) over them and maybe a tablespoon of shredded Parmesan on top. Such an easy meal. Yum.

OMG -- mortified with the typos in the original post. Clearly I was distracted as I typed because I really do know how to contstruct senctences. :D. Wish they'd let us edit beyond the hour mark. Anyway good luck. :)

I love raw zucchini noodles with pasta sauce. Easy way to get veggies in and it pretty easy. I have a spiralizer, but you could also just shred them with a shredder or purchase a handheld spiralizer tool for around $10-15. The noodles are a great consistency, very mild in taste and no cooking for me is perfect for summer…

How do you sync your fitbit with MFP? I'm considering the Alta model. I like the options and the slim style. Just wish they had more colors. I like the hot pink of the Flex, but like the look of the Alta so will probably get the plum.

Not sure if we're supposed to post updates on this thread as well as spreadsheet, but that's what I'm doing for now. SW: 181, CW: 179, GW for challenge: 154 Ultimate GW: 136 May 30: 181 June 6: 179 Hope everyone had a great week. I've been limited in activity due to some foot swelling/pain that they're trying to diagnose…

I already messed up putting the wrong data in my earlier post but waited too long to try and edit so I'm posting again with the accurate info related to this challenge. SW: 181 CW: 181 GW: 154 May 30: 181 Just added myself to the spreadsheet and may post weekly on this thread as well. I've lost 57 pounds so far (before…

I'm in as well. These challenges are great. SW: 238 CW: 181 GW: 138 May 30: 181 I've lost 57 pounds so far and am looking for ways to get all the way to goal. Accountability really helps in motivating me to stay on course. I'm looking to increase my activity level as well now.

Sounds like a great idea. I've already lost 50lbs and could use some extra motivation to stay the course and get the remaining 50 off. :smile:

Feel free to add me as well. I'm 46 lbs down, but have another 55 or so to go.

Congrats! I just crossed over the BMI line into Overweight land recently and was never so happy for that label. :smile:
