just looking for some ideas of what i can make for dinner this week! what are some of your favorites? i am a vegetarian, my husband is not. i am still down with non-veggie recipes as i can try to think of a way to adapt them. tonight we had hummus wraps with cheese, greens, peppers, and a bit of balsamic vinegar - YUM.

so TIRED! any ideas as to what i can do?
hi everyone. i have recently started cutting meat out of my diet and i have found that i am EXHAUSTED since doing so. like, i need a nap 2 hours after i have gotten up tired. i do take a vitamin with iron in it, so i don't think my iron is too low - although haven't had blood tests done. are there any foods to help…

sparkling water?
does anyone know if sparkling water harms your weight loss? i'm not talking about tonic water or anything, but the kind of water that has carbonation and fruit flavoring. it generally has some type of artificial sweetener in it as well. i tend to treat it like diet soda and limit myself to it (maybe a bottle everyone once…

CLA?
has anyone tried it? is it worth it? i'm doing some of my own research on it, but i am just curious. i was in GNC the other day and the person suggested it stating it helps with weight loss. i was a bit skeptical, so i thought i'd ask here. thanks! (no i didn't buy any!)

sodium
