Best Digital Food Scale?
I'm looking into purchasing a higher functioning food scale- the one I currently use is a $5 plastic one from Target. Don't get me wrong, it does the job, I'd just like something a little more specific and functional. It's sometimes hard to read the dial on the spring set one - like I use. So do you have a digital food…

What time do you eat breakfast?
The reason I'm asking is because I have to be to work by 6:45am. Thankfully I only live 5 miles from work, so I"m able to make and eat breakfast by 6:30 and out the door by 6:40. It doesn't matter what I make, if it's 300 cal or 450, I'm usually always hungry by 9-9:30am. My normal breakfast consists of either oatmeal or a…

Black Beans
Hey all! I love black beans, but I have just been putting them in taco salad lately, and I'm sure there's more I can do with them? I buy the bush's reduced sodium black beans and then rinse em. Any other ways to have them other than on top of a salad? Thanks in advance!

Cheesecake Factory, Anyone?
It's my birthday next Tuesday, and my hubby asked me where I wanted to go. I decided on Cheesecake Factory. Now, before you all condemn me for that choice, lemme tell you why I chose it. My favorite dessert of all is chocolate cheesecake. Now instead of having a big ol cheesecake made and brought home or sitting on my…

Before and Current Pics
So I think I'm coming down with a case of the winter blah's! Not saying no to foods I know I shouldn't eat, also not putting as much "ooumph" into my work outs that I normally do! So I'm posting this to remind myself, and perhaps give others some motivation on how far we've come, and that we can continue to kick butt till…

Looking for a Strawberry Spinach Salad with a nice light dre
I'd like to bring a nice light strawberry spinach salad to Thanksgiving that's got a nice light-low cal dressing. Do you have any good recipes? All the ones I can find look either too sugar, oily, and I'm not satisfied with that. I welcome any ideas that you might have! Thanks in advance!

Low Fat Chocolate Pie
Found this on eatbetteramerica.com--- I revised it a little because I didn't feel like shaving chocolate to put on top- I'm not that fancy. I made it last night. Was super easy, and the hubby LOVED it! I agree you can't even tell anything is sugar/fat free!!! Scrumptious! prep time: 20 min chill time: 4 hrs makes 10…

I went running, and......
I ran 2 miles STRAIGHT on Tuesday night, and was very proud of myself. The furthest I have ever done was 1.3 miles. While that may seem tiny to some of you other runners, I was happy! :) Anyways- despite how great that felt, it's 2 days later, and my thighs are still aching. Is that wierd? So I did elliptical for 45 mins…

What do I wear?!
So! This is the deal folks. One of my BFF's is having a halloween party this Saturday, and I originally said I wasn't going to go. I have never been a huge halloween dressing up kinda girl, but she lives 1.5 hrs away and on a Saturday night? What else do I have going on? Nothing! So what the heck, I'll just suck it up and…

So... my daily calorie allowance is 1200. And for the majority of the days I'm usually eat 1300 to make up for some of my exersize calories.

I love my scale sooooo much....
I miss it. And I love Saturdays because then I can be reunited with it. Right now I feel like I'm living my life from weigh in to weigh in.... it's Thursday, and I get more anxious each day to hop on the scale and see how I've done this week. I want to shake that feeling of constantly needing to weigh in... and at least I…

Can't get my mind off it!
Last night, I went to Red Lobster for dinner with my wonderful husband. I ordered the jumbo grilled garlic shrimp, with steamed broccoli and baked potato with sour cream and butter on the side. It came with 2 skewers of shrimp, so I only ate one. I did eat all the baked potato with only a small dab of butter and small dab…

So many kinds, it's overwhelming!
Hey all, I'm looking into purchasing a HRM, and after browsing, everyone reccommends a different one! I need one, thats pretty basic, but still has some "fanciness" to it. I'd like one that can tell me how long I'm in my target heart rate range, what my current heart rate is, and also my calories burned. I'd also like to…
