don't you just hate it, when people
who you havent seen for awhile, and see that you look awesome, the first thing that they say, is "so do you feel better?". Why does everyone assume that if you are fat, that you feel awful.. One of the reasons that i was fat for so long, was that i felt great. My blood pressure was good. cholesterol was good, i felt great.…

are you becoming obsessed with your food choices?
let me just say, that i really like eating healthy, love all the veggies and fruit that i eat. I have started packing my lunch, when going out shopping for the day, or when i go just about anywhere, because i don't want to be tempted, or forced to eat what might have the unknown fat/sodium in it. I totally stress out, if i…

really? logging "standing" as a calorie burn?
i'm all for motivation, support, etc. But isn't standing, (say at work) just part of life? It's really not a calorie burning cardio type of a thing. On the same note, my friend who joined, logged burning over 2000 calories, doing vigerous house cleaning. i have been to her apt, and it's a small apt. i have some real…

Between the meatless "beef strips" (glad to say good bye to those) the cottage cheese was high. I thought that…

Only 70cal, 13 protien, 6 carbs, and 280sodium. I was getting the regular meatless things they come in at around 90cals. This was just as…

looking to make a lo cal tvp burger
anyone cook using the tvp(textured vegetable protien)? It really is not bad at all. It's half the calories of meat, and has just as much protien. I would like to be able to make a patty. I found one receipe, but it had alot of flour, and no cal breakdown with it. I tried the premade turkey pattys, and they are really good,…

question about oatmeal
so now i'm confused. I have been eating the steel cut oats, and staying away from the instant packs of oatmeal, because i thought that they contained preservatives, and added ingredients. So this morning i still had a box of organic plain instant oatmeal, and decided to compare the nutrition labels. i'm a little shocked.…

Can someone help me? I tried online to get a view of something, but no real luck. I just kept getting redirected to different spots. This must…

I put peeled chunked apples in a crockpot with some cinnamon, nutmeg,ginger and cloves (careful with the cloves, little goes a long way) added a pinch of water and cooked them for about 6 hours or so. Pretty soft, but still a little body to them. Chilled and then had with some plain greek…

I was down to a size 12, which for me is a dream goal. But, you guessed it, i put it all back on, and then some. so, this last…
