What time of day for your one meal?
Curiosity question. What time of day are you finding works best for your one meal per day? I work 3rd shift 10 hour days, so I usually wake up, get ready for work, come home, and go to bed.

Ideas please, dressing up those veggies?
So since I was a kid I have always had a disdain for vegetables. My parent's didn't do a lot of cooking with fresh veggies and those I did eat were out of a can (but that's another story for another day).

1/3 to goal, 34 lbs lost, pics!
So I've been feeling a bit down on myself lately and getting the thought in my head that I'm not really making good progress (though i am daily). my weight today even was 0.6 lbs down from the pics I took last night but I still have that slight nagging self doubt thing going on. I figure I'm about 3 lbs shy of being 1/3 of…

Heart Healthy Pumpkin and Black Bean Soup
Found this recipe online because I was looking for something to make with my can of black beans. Made this for lunch today and it was fabulous! I made a few adjustments because I didn't have light cream or all the spices, but it was still very good and very filling! The salt content is a little high for my liking, and I…
