I have the same craving. Ice cream is my ultimate favourite dessert and adding chocolate is even better. I discussed it with my Dietitian and she gave me a couple good suggestion. #1 Buy some Baker's Dark or Semi Sweet Chocolate Squares, put them in the freezer and when the craving hits, pop one square in your mouth and…

Oh! I forgot one thing.....I will be setting the alarm on my cell phone to ring when it's time for my snacks because I get so busy, I can never remember to eat when I'm supposed to. My goal is to eat 6 small meals per day. Good Luck!!

I feel your pain!! I was out of work for almost a year and lost 36lbs. Last September I started working again and working hard and long hours. I have gained back 22lbs in the last 10 months. Why?? Because all I did was sit at my desk in front of the computer. Because I was working such long hours, I thought I "deserved"…

Yummy!! Thanks, it sounds delicious and light!!

Love Richard Simmons workouts!! The sweatin' to the oldies have great music. Better than 30 day shred and lots more fun!!! I have the VHS from way back but you can go on his website and order the DVDs. Keep on sweatin'!!!!

I love mine with crisp cucumbers either diced or shredded with s&p. Very yummy!! It's very fresh tasting with a light flavor!!!

Funny how things come your way sometimes!!! I was just looking at the message boards thinking I was going to start a new thread for help for myself.!!! I feel the exact same way you do right now.

FYI!! It's a proven fact that when 'Aunt Flow' comes to visit, our bodies crave one of the chemicals in chocolate. That's why we crave it so much. My dietitian gave me a good tip to help curb this craving. Buy some Baker's semi-sweet chocolate squares and keep them in the freezer. One serving is 2 squares and 150 calories.…

Hello there!!! Did we all go our separate ways???? Is anyone still doing the shred??? I miss posting my progress on this thread. Let me know if you want to continue!!! Julie :flowerforyou:

If I can help someone by sharing my diary then it's worth it. I also like to view other peoples diaries who are successful in their weight lose because I want ideas on meal choices that might help me. I get bored with my meals at times and like to change things up a little. I appreciate the help from others when I do get a…

I won't make that mistake again. LOL!! But, I love riding my bike. I have lots of trails and bike paths around my house that I can take a…

My new favourite lunch is refried beans on a tortilla with some grated cheese, salsa and green onions. This is a great lunch because it has everything you need and it sustains you until your next snack or meal. Helps to keep your sugars at an even level without high/low spikes. Good luck!!

Congratulations!! What I wonderful feeling that must be to feel healthier and know that you really are healthier!! Keep up the amazing work!!:happy:

Thanks!! They sound yummy!!

Can you freeze them and if so, for how long. My husband is going to love these as will I. Thanks!!
