I'm in...I've logged 7.3 miles for February so far.

I tried our local farmer's market yesterday, and most vendors wanted almost $4.00/lb for tomatoes! All other produce was just as expensive. The only veggies that I would have even considered buying were cucumbers for $0.75 each. Local produce is not always the cheapest. I was very disappointed.

Great site! Thanks!

I've noticed that too. My fiber is only 14. A Fiber One bar and a serving of strawberries puts me at that already and that's just breakfast.

yep!

Speaking of that...my one soldier came home - YIPPEE!!! - so I probably ought to be getting another :)

Duh! Sorry! I knew that :)

exactly!

At one point I was pushing a 12, and have been a consistent 10 for the past year or so, but I was NOT healthy. Before I had my 3rd child 10 years ago I was a size 4! I won't ever see those days again and that's ok, but to be a HEALTHY 6/8 is my goal :)

I haven't tried this yet, but I am definitely going to! You could probably add different flavors of jello and they'd work just as well. Watermelon Angel Cakes 1 pkg. (16oz) angel food cake mix 1 pkg. (0.3oz) JELL-O Watermelon flavor sugar free gelatin 1/2 c. mini chocolate chips, divided 1 tub (8oz) Cool Whip Free, thawed…

I always weigh myself first thing in the morning before I shower. I don't think it really matters what time is "best" as long as you're consistent.

Some of my other favorite websites: dlife.com eatbetteramerica.com self.com cookinglight.com I have a TON of recipes too!

Ditto on Eatingwell.com!

I call it Chocolate Eclair dessert. YUMMY!!!

Do the bananas turn brown?

I was going to post the same thing. I think I'm going to try it tonight since my fridge is overflowing as well!

I always count Crystal Light as water...other beverages, no.

I haven't read all of the posts, but you have every right to be proud of your weight loss accomplishments! My hubby is the same way about me posting pics. He's commented on my profile picture on here. I'm not showing anything - I'm in my workout shirt, but he's still uncomfortable about it. Maybe your hubby is the same…

I still think 14g are too low. Eating 2 Fiber One bars puts me at 18 and I'm already over the limit. How do you NOT eat fiber?? Oh, and I thought eating whole grains was the way to go.

I don't find ground turkey to be cheaper where I live.

BBQ Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, peas & pineapple for around 415 calories.

ME!!! And I woke up late this morning and didn't walk so I'm feeling blah (and mad at myself...lol). It's 95 and humid or I would have walked at lunch. I can't wait until I can walk tonight!!!

http://www.fastfood.com/nutrition is the site I like, but that restaurant isn't on there.

I agree...nothing fried! Choose white rice over fried rice or noodles, and choose brown rice if you're lucky enough to have a place that has it. I've read that most Chinese dishes have between 1,000 and 1,500 calories, not taking into account rice, crispy noodles, and other extras! Usually portions are very large, so eat…

What a great idea! Why have I never thought of this?? Thanks!
