I have a 2 people household after the kids moved out and believe in down sizing my appliances as well. The large ones were too big for my personal use plus use up a lot of space . I bought the smaller Black and Decker during thanksgiving sales last year which is still making more fries than I should eat :-) but I use it a…

That is the same on my end you cannot eats ting without sodium even salt free has sodium . Glad I am not the only one fighting the 1500 mg a day issue . It's hard

I use it instead of regular Oatmeal ; add cinnamon and a handful of raspberries . Cooked the barley with water and topped it with Almond milk

Same way you make coleslaw as aside dish just a lot more flavor and crunch .

Congratulations that is an accomplishment you worked very hard for. You look AWESOME and HAPPY. Whatever you did, it sure worked.

Thanks for sharing. I will make that tomorrow morning for Sunday breakfast. Have to go refill on Greek Yogurt today. Costcos here I come :-) - they got the large Containers !:wink:

I actually had a to quit a Gym because they did not have a pool and the only equipment I could use with my Back problems was the Treadmill. Now that I finally decided to kick myself in Gear and be serious about Weight loss, I started going to another Gym that has a pool and a lot of other classes all included if you can…

I eat 6 meals a Day. Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner and 3 Snacks. To keep those pains (they are actually what I call withdrawals, and will slow down after about 2 to 3 weeks) down, I suggest you have a Protein Snack like some cheese and a few crackers with a few grapes as your last Snack of the Day. No need to go to bed hungry.…

1 cup comes with lots of calories, even the lowfat version. I found that 1/2 cup goes a long way, and besides using it for Greek Cooking, makes a great Parfait, or Spread on whole Grain Bread. Just add some fresh chopped Chives to it, a sprinkle of salt ( careful), and enjoy :happy:

Bump

+Once a week, Saturday morning before Breakfast. I did the every day weigh In and it drove me crazy. Whatever works for you, that's what matters.

Finally somebody who agrees with the calories being over . THANK you! I use HRM in the Gym only, but for my every day walking I use a Pedometer, I make sure I do my five miles per day during breaks and Lunch and it really keeps me on Track. Mine is an expensive one but I only use the step count, none of the other…

We use " I can't believe its Butter Spray" at 0 Calories, and add a little Parmesancheese for taste sometimes. Little goes a long way.

Shrimp Quesadillas Fry shrimps in small amount of Olive oil, add a bit of Garlic for taste. Warm up small Tortilla in non stick frying pan, than on one half add a little lowfat shredded cheese, top with shrimps, fold over, heat until cheese starts melting. Enjoy with a Side Salad :-)

. Breathing is dangerous, drinking water is dangerous, eating can kill you. Also the studies go back to way back when ,and technology changed a little in the past 20 years.I still wanted to follow up on reading this, since i like to be informed. Just googles the subject and there is penty Info outthere. Here is a website…

I do not go to bed hungry because it is not good for the body to go without fuel all night. 3 meals 3 Snacks last one about an hour before Bedtime. That Snack is scheduled into my 1200 calorie day. No need to starve myself is there ?

According to my doctor and prior weight loss with supervision, and a few years with a well known Company where I learned how to count, just not calories, as well as working with a Nutritionist because of my daughters Pre diabetes,I should eat only about 50 % of my exercise Calories. I tried to eat more , used whatI…

You got the calories per serving by any chance? Sounds really good !

Here is the wholefoods website for you, might help. One of my daughters converted to vegetarian a few years ago, and since she is pre diabetic, she takes medicines that counter react with soyfoods. Too much Soy is not healthy, you need to watch that. There are many great recipes and websited outthere, just google…

Fist I like to congratulate you on the new addition to your Family. Secondly , you need to eat more, even you take Vitamins.You should eat at least half of your "earned Calories" from Exercising if you are not pregnant. That gets you over 1200 but cuts out enough for your Body to shrink :-) aka loose weight. If I would eat…

Thanks for spelling out my Dinner tonight. I am going to make half your recipe and the other half I will add Broccoli for future use. Cutting this amount in 8 pieces is a real generous serving, and we need comfort food today :-)

I have been on weight loss and gain adventures prior to this, lost a lot of weight very fast and actually kept of of for a few years,eventually gained it back due to several reasons, but one thing I leanrned from this is, that this time around I am determined to go slow. I use my daily calories plus about half of my added…

I have 6 meals a day every day but Sundays,Trying to go no higher than 1400 Calories. This is my best yet at 1206. Breakfast Finax Muesli - Good for You-- Muesli With Papaya,…

I prefer fresh myself, and like you ,always have leftovers. I clean them, slice and throw into a Freezerbag. and freeze them. They can be taken out by the Handful no need to thaw all , and you can add to other meals as needed. I use those for my Spagettie Sauce or Omletts, Pizza or in casseroles.

you should really at least try to eat your 1200 Calories per day. Some diets go down to 800 but that should really only be done with a doctor approved diet and that is a fast weightloss which in the longrun most likey does not stick. If you gain more calories through exercise that is great . Leaves you some room to splurge…

Taco Salad :bigsmile: Pasta with Tomato sauce and ground Turkey anything beef or pork can be replaced by Turkey, jst add a few more herbs and spices to bring out the taste more

So you are afraid to fall into the trap of Restaurent Eating. Well, don't be scared to go. First of all the servings are way to high in anything, you can cut everything in half and take the rest home.( have somebody else eat it!) The same goes for Dessert. Split with somebody. Easy if you go with Family. Plan for this in…

Great recipe will try it this Weekend. You are absolutely correct it is a wonderful Starter recipe. One of my daughters is a Vegetarian and to make this for all of us will be a breeze. Thanks again. just my2cents :-)
