Congrats!!

I love Hungry Girl too and my boss actually had her autograph a copy of her cookbook for me when she was in the area. Yes, I'm a little odd. The recipe I use the most is the brownie muffins. Nothing could be easier and nobody ever thinks that they are a healthier version of regular chocolate muffins. All you do is mix a…

Hi- I think I am supposed to be on the Purple team too. I signed up a few weeks ago, but forgot to log my weight last week. I sent it to Carnelita on Tuesday of this week. Should I send it to Tall_t?

Sorry to turn this into a new topic. I tried doing a search and came back with a bunch of old posts.

That sounds perfect. I didn't even know it existed. I'll do a search and see what I can find. Thanks!!

Hi- Does anyone know if there is a thread out there for weekly weigh-ins? I need to hook up with a group that will hold me accountable for sticking to my plan. I really need to lose the last 20 lbs and need some support. I dove off the wagon this weekend. I'm back on, but probably would not have gone so crazy if I would…

Ok, I'm going to try the egg thing too using your cooking method. If nothing else, I know I will eat them chopped up on a salad. Everyone else in the house loves them, so they will be happy. I've never tried greek yogurt. It sounds scary to me. Maybe I'll give that a shot too. Thanks again for the great ideas.

You guys are great! Ok, I had some apple slices with a little peanut butter before class and am eating my oatmeal with flaxseed now. Now you've got me thinking I need a little more protein after. I hate boiled eggs, but I'll figure out something. Thanks again for the responses.

Ok. I think I am going to try for about 100 cals pre (5:30) and 100 cals post (7:15 ish) and another 200 at 9:00. Sounds complicated, but I'll find something that I can stash in the car for the commute to work and have a piece of fruit pre. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the response. That is exactly what I was wondering. Do you think if I get in 100-150 cals prior to my workout that it will be ok to wait until 9:00 for my "real" breakfast? Or is it important to refuel immediately after so that the muscle burning thing doesn't happen then?

Hi Everyone- On weekdays, I work out from 6-7am so that I can get it in before heading to the office. I alternate between spinning, swimming, and group power (strength training to music). Ok, here's the question. What should I be eating before I work out? I normally just have water before and during and am fine. Also, more…

I was just thinking about this too. I love the holidays and actually enjoy Halloween a lot. We have an annual Halloween costume party every year!

Hi- I have to repeat what everyone else said, YOU LOOK FABULOUS and you look really happy and that is what it is all about. What are some of your secrets/hints that you can share with us? What is your favorite work out? Any great foods that have been helping you stay on track?

Hi- I wish I knew what to give you for an answer. My gut says to go with the 1590 and see if you continue to lose weight. If you don't, you can move down. I think you are better off that way than kicking your body into starvation mode. Hopefully someone else will give you a good answer based on something other than gut. I…

I love this one too. If you have some extra calories to use, a little feta, or blue cheese and a few pecans are great on here too.

I am all for enjoying what you love in moderation. Why not? Life is short. Key is moderation :0) I make my brownies with a brownie or dark chocolate cake mix and a 15 oz can of pumpkin. Nothing else. Yummy and high in fiber and better nutritionally.
