Snack ideas?
I'm looking for new snack ideas. I currently take a serving of plain almonds with me to work and make them last throughout the day. I've also brought in Cutie's every now and then to eat. Any suggestions? In the mood for something new and exciting!

I seem to be "carb" heavy..any ideas
I've looked over my food diary for the past few months and see that I am ingesting too may carbs. Yes, I am a carbaholic. I am open to suggestions, any one have any ideas? I know I need to stop eating as much popcorn as I do (hubby lives on this stuff). Trust me...I have cut WAY back from my old eating habits. My first…

Pity party is over!
Well, while I've been having a pity party for my non weight loss over the past 12 months (up and down the same few pounds)....I did learn one thing last night. Some of my blouses that were tight through the hips a year ago are now loose (plus one I just bought 3 months ago is now almost too big)!! So, while the pounds were…

MY NSV
So proud of myself....hubby and I went to my favorite Mexican restaurant for lunch! I always get chicken fajitas (made with no oil), extra pico de gallo, no tortillas, no sour cream, no guac, and usually no refried beans! The killer for me is the tortilla chips!! BUT today I had ONLY 7!! I know it's a silly NSV....but I'm…

Portabella pizza minus sauce
I tried something last night just for the fun of it. I bought a portabella mushroom (large cap) and filled it with red and yellow pepper, onion, jalapeno, 4 slices turkey pepperoni, and 1 tbls Jimmy Dean Turkey Crumbles. I then topped it with 1/4 cup fat free shredded mozzarella and baked it at 350 for 15 minutes. OOOOO…

At my highest weight, when I finally decided I needed to be healthier as I was not getting any younger, I weighed 228 and was a size 18. Today I am at 183 and wear either a 12 or 10 (depending on the brand). BUT these days I…
