The veggie tots are a great substitute for regular tator tots in a casserole. The green giant website also has great recipes to make with them that I can't wait to try.

What got you motivated?
I have been trying so hard to get motivated for a long time now and I just end up making excused. So many times I thought I had hit a point where I would change. Hitting the 200 lb. mark, being put on blood pressure meds, even vacation and high school reunion. Each time those events happened I would think to myself "this…

Clothes shopping at the mall
So you head to the mall and you enter a store that has the cutest clothes, only to find out that they don't carry your size. This has probably happened to most of us on MFP.
