Crispy Peach Cobbler
This is soooo yummy!!! You'd never guess that it's low fat! I don't pair it with light Cool Whip as the recipe suggests. Instead, I pair it with a little bit of Vanilla frozen yogurt! Yum! Also, instead of sugar, I use evaporated cane juice sugar. My mom's boarderline diabetic so I grew up using this in recipes. It's sugar…

It took five years to put…

Here is a low-calorie and low-fat version: I use AH!LASKA Organic Non-Dairy Chocolate Syrup. (50 calories and 0 grams fat in 1 tablespoon.…

Chicken Souvlaki Salad
I made this for dinner last night. I found it on www.cookinglight.com. It was healthy and really yummy! And it's packed with lean protein and lots of veggies! And one serving is two whole cups! I served it with homeade pita chips: Spray both sides of pita (I used Salem whole wheat pitas - only 1 gram of fat per serving!)…

An Awesome Weekend!!!
So two awesome things happened this past weekend! First - I went shopping and I'm officially a size smaller!!! Woo-hoo!!! I was so excited! I tried on a size 14 pair of jeans (it's been forever since I've fit into a 14!) and they fit perfectly! I also tried on a 12 just for fun...it was WAY too tight but it buttoned! Haha…

Just have to vent...
So I bought a new scale over the weekend - a much better one than the one I already had - high ratings, more accurate and consistant. And I'm really happy with the scale's perfomance so far. BUT, I'm 3 pounds heavier on the new scale! Ahhhhh! Sooooo frustrating! I'm going by that weight now since the scale is more…

Digital Scales
There may be a topic on this already that I may have missed... But I have a question about scales. I'm using a non-digital scale right now but would like to get a good digital one. The one's I've used in the past tended to not be very acurate...there would be a several pound difference within just a few minutes of weighing…

I reached my 20 pound goal today!
I reached my 20 pound goal today! It was pretty darn exciting! I actually stepped on the scale a couple times just to make sure! :laugh: I've been making 10 pound by 10 pound goals. That seems so much more attainable than a huge goal...so I've reached my second 10 pound goal! :happy: Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Online…

Hi everyone!
Hi everyone! I’ve actually been using this website just to track my eating and exercise habits for about two weeks. But after I read several posts, I realized how beneficial it can be to communicate with others on the website! We are more or less all in the same boat so this seems like a great online community in which to…
