Ditto for me too! There are some great smoothie recipes out there. Try a 'green' smoothie sometime!

would like to know how to have it automatically appear on all posts.

Addicted to Top Chef!!!! I love all of the weird things the cook up.

Week 12: Heather Challenge Starting Weight: 200 Current Weight: 185 Difference: -15 Christmas Goal Weight: 169 Aprox Minutes of Exercise: did nothing!!!!!! Highs of last week: Although I still lack the motivation to exercise I have lost 2 more pounds. Lows of last week: I'm still sick and I haven't worked out for almost 3…

I am going through the same thing! Emotionally my heart is not in it right now and I too feel lost. Would love to hear what others have to say.

You should feel GREAT about yourself now! You've done an amazing job!

Sorry guys! The last two days have been crazy! Now my baby and I both are sick.

Highs of last week: nothing! everyone has been/is sick and I've not felt like doing…

Keep in mind that most of the foods / dietary info in MFP database are input by members. I often find the info incorrect. Go by the packaging and if you don't need the other nutritional info like fat or sodium, then I would just do a quick cal input when logging your grits. P.S. I love my grits too, esp. with garlic salt…

Best of luck to you! It's not always easy to start a new life style but at least you're on the right path!

CONGRATULATIONS ON ONDERLAND!!!! Keep up the great work!

I'm open! Don't look at LAST 4 days (had a rough week) but I don't mind if you take a peek. A great web sight is skinnytaste.com. She has wonderful recipes with low cals. Also, veggies, veggies, veggies! That's the hardest part for me. Good luck:happy:

Canned beans! Easy-peasy (pardon the pun:bigsmile: ) Actually I've never had them before so this is the first time! Can't wait.

LOL!! I so hear you! I hardly ever agree with friends on movies! I'm a chick and I rarely like "chick flicks". The worst ones ever were the Twilight series - hated the first yet I still saw all three. Why? My things I can't say 'no' to - volunteering and dark chocolate - I can't seem to say no to people who ask for help…

Ooooh ADD ME! ADD ME! ADD ME!:tongue:

We roast ours in oven at 325. I lightly coat them in olive oil (it really doesn't take much) and then season them with salt and other spices like garlic or curry and even chili powder (my hubby likes spicy ones). The key is low temp and stir often. Hope this helps! Enjoy!

HI, I'm a mom of 4 the youngest is 20 months. Be sure to talk to your Dr. about calorie intake and exercise. If you've just started to lose weight it can be depressing to see the pounds go up as the baby grows, but keeping your body fit during pregnancy is key to losing the baby weight later. Also remember that you will…

Just keep in mind that with higher amounts of activity level the body will need more fuel! Don't completely cut carbs! Just go for healthier ones (brown rice and whole grains), these are a major part of your body's fuel, ask any competitive athlete. Bump up your protein too if you're working out more, you need to rebuild…

Just sit on the floor and let them bring things to you. Have your 3yo teach the younger ones how to complete puzzles or other cognitive toys. Just be patient and if things get out of control clean it up and take a snack break, try again later. The attention span of a 1-2 yo is only about 15-20 minutes anyway. When the…

NAME - Heather WLG - # - 15 LTD - # - 8 WAA - # 28 My original goal was -15lbs. Here it is about 2 weeks til Halloween and I need to lose 8lbs more. I don't think I'm gonna make it! I suppose if I'm close I can live with that, but darn it would have been nice to have lost that full 15. By the way, great job to…

This is fantastic! It's amazing how making those conscious choices can give you big results. Good job! Keep up the great work!

Log in your food and exercise religiously. That way if you feel like things aren't progressing as you'd like them to you can look back and probably figure it out! Also, share with your MFP friends what you're feeling. We are here to help and support!:smile:
