I make a lot of casseroles for my daycare kids. Kraft.com is a good place to look. I love meals that have veggies and everything else all in one bowl/plate. You can also change the recipes a bit to make them a little healthier. Lighter cheeses or milk, WW pastas or breads. :) Good luck!

You could use salsa or cottage cheese.

Mine are a friendly reminder. I don't like what I see and I remind myself that I don't want to ever be there again. Photos help motivate me for sure!

Drink LOTS of water!!

Are you drinking enough water?

I can do this! I will do this!

That sounds yummy!!

Mmm! Bump!

I agree! It's your Birthday! Enjoy it! Have a good one!

Thanks everyone!

What about things like corn bran, fruit leather, apple sauce, or popcorn? Has he tried Soybutter? My sister has a peanut allergy and eats that instead of peanut butter. She loves it. He could put soybutter and sf jam on rice cakes, it's my favourite snack! (With pb though...)

Good for you! Last night I made up my own little kettlebell circuit and did squats while I watch the biggest loser. Feels good huh?

I love my kettlebell workouts!! I bought my 10lb kettlebell at walmart, and it came with a DVD, but I ended up ordering some DVD's that I love! http://www.kettleworx.com/ Ryan Shanahan is awesome.

Can I just say - YOU SHOULDN'T BE HUNGRY!!! If you're hungry, eat. I know it's hard, but try choosing something low cal that will fill you up. A glass of milk, some cereal, fruit, veggies. I like to snack on cucumber or yogurt when I'm hungry and I feel better. Being hungry will make you eat bad food and feel guilty about…

Really??!?!

1/2 cup of corn bran = 60 calories, and some light cheese (my no name is 90 calories). The "sweet and salty" flavours are my fav!

My lunch today was 1 egg on a dempsters body wise wrap with a fat free cheese slice, a slice of fat free ham, and a little ketchup. So yummy!

My best advice is drink LOTS of water! If you want a treat, drink water first. Then treat yourself, but be reasonable about it. Don't go over board. :) The water will help fill you up first so you'll eat less and also help with weight loss!

lol I do that too!!

Good idea! But I'd rather eat it and suffer the wrath of the elliptical later. ;) Christmas chocolate is my favourite!! Bring on the terry's chocolate oranges and Lindor! lol I could really use some bigger hand weights. Maybe Santa will bring me some!

Congrats!! Amazing isn't it?! I'm feeling great about that "almost there" feeling lately too! Can't wait to reach my goal...but I also know what you mean about changing it a little too. :S Good luck with the rest, WE CAN DO IT!

You did the perfect thing!

Haha! Such a good idea! Too bad I ate all my leftovers or I would have thought of something creative like that. Could have used the excersise running instead of having to get on the elliptical to make up for it! lol

My body deffinately pays me back for my bad choices! I had a bad Halloween weekend (a party with lots of drinking and delicious but bad food, and a lot of chocolate bars and bad food the following day too.). Monday I had the worst "stomach rot" feeling for most of the day. You are not alone! Makes me rethink my choices for…

OMG!! I noticed this not long ago too! I have to curve them weird when I shave. SO funny!! I'm glad I'm not the only one, I thought I was going crazy. How can that be possible? Skinny armpits! Ba! lol p.s. Stupidest is the "wickedest" word! ;)

Have you tried quinoa?

bump. Thanks!!

Way to go! Congrats! I understand completely, and I giggled when I looked at your pics. :) The first one with the squinty eyes reminds me of my "before" pics too. Now it could be that bottle of wine doing that..haha, but I can't believe looking back at myself how chubby my face was and how my eyes have changed since!…

Thank you! I think we all need this reminder somtimes!
