Low Fat/Low Cal Tiramisu
Ok, so I was watching the FoodNetwork (the enemy) and saw a Tiramisu being made. I almost died, since this is my favorite dessert! I started to look on line for any low cal recipes. I found some but I want one that is as close to a traditional one as possible. I mean it needs to have lady fingers, not some angel food cake…

Halfway there...67lbs down..
I started MFP in Jan and am now at the halfway mark. It is appropriate that I have hit this halfway mark at the halfway mark of the year I think. :smile: I never thought that I would actually see this thing through to be honest with you. I was probably the laziest person on the face of the earth. Haha! :laugh: Having an…

Buffalo burgers.....have you had them yet??
I love Buffalo Burgers!! I stopped eating ground beef and switched to either ground turkey or ground buffalo/bison. It is better for you and just tastes better. I eat them usually once a week and sometimes twice. With grilled onions and low-fat cheese. If you havent tried them yet, go for it. I just cook them in my grill…

Food Scales, do you have one?
I have a food scale and would DIE without it! I bought one the first week i started using MFP. I got in on Amazon for $25 and it is a life saver. I didnt know what a "serving" was before I had my scale. If a serving is 15grams, I will weigh out 15grams. No exceptions or guestimates. If I am going to eat some strawberries…

Doesnt look too good, or does it? So to all you nutrition buffs out there, please fill us in on POTASSIUM and why we need it and…

New Running Shoes and their impact on your workout
So I got a new pair of Asics Gels this week. I used to wear Nike Air Max Zooms, as that is what had sitting around. I know that the Asics are better for running/walking so that is why I went with those. I walk at least a mile (sometimes more) on the treadmill every day. My feet used to kill when I had the Nikes and I…
