Bob Harper's 5 Simple Food Rules to Lose Weight - meatless??
These are pretty standard, just-makes-sense tips. But what do you do for a meatless Monday? I love my veggies and have no problem eating them. But I do have a hubby and a 13 yr old boy who pretty much think meat's gotta be in every meal. Wondering about some ideas for meatless meals. :noway:…

Knee Pain? Can I strengthen?
I have just a TOUCH, a tiny TWINGE of knee pain every now and then. Noticed it again at Zumba tonight. But I also notice it first thing in the morning when I go up the steps. Nothing too terribly painful - YET. Just a twinge. I'm going to be 49 (what??) in a couple of weeks. Maybe my knee is just getting a little age on…

Don't Stress About The Scale!
Today i cleaned out my closet. Out with the summer, in with the winter, all that. For a couple months I have been a little bummed about lack of movement on the scale. I have less than 10 lbs. to lose to goal, but as much as I worked out, scale didn't move much. Tried on a couple pair of pants that were too snug to wear…

NSV: It's all about the clothes....
12 years ago, I bought a flapper girl dress for Halloween. I saved it all these years, because it's a pretty cool dress! Two years ago, we went to a costume party and I couldn't wear it. Couldn't slide it over those um, voluptuous hips. :mad: Now we are getting ready to go to a costume party this weekend, so I tried it on…

To dairy or not to dairy??
I am a 48 yr old female, just starting this joy of menopause. More like pre menopause still. I only have about 10 lbs to lose, with nearly ALL of that in my gut. This hasn't been a problem for me forever; just last few years. So I've read that dairy encourages weight gain. I'm not much of a dairy person anyway; dont really…

PS3 games?
Anyone have a PS3? We do love ours for movies, etc. My son has a couple games he loves. But before our Wii died, we had Wii Fit, etc. Do you have any PS3 sport or dance games that burn calories? Would love some suggestions before I plunk down more cash! :ohwell:

Afternoon Snacks
Today I had a huge cup of sugar snap peas. The kind that come in a little bag in the produce section of the grocery store. With a little cup of Wishbone Lite Ranch dressing.

OK, I'm going to try these for dinner. (After all, they were BOGO at Publix!) 110 calories per dog. Any thoughts on dressing up a dog without going overboard on calories? Thanks!:tongue:

Spicy Baked Pita Chips

Spicy Baked Pita Chips Bake these up to 3 days in advance and store in an air tight container. 6 (6-in) pitas (I didn't have pita - used tortillas!) Cooking spray 1/2 tsp. kosher salt 1/4 tsp. garlic powder…

I did Zumba Saturday for an hour, then Sunday for an hour and that class KICKS my butt! Was going to go again tonight but this afternoon my muscles are just achy all over.

to HRM or not to HRM - that is the question! ??
Do you or don't you? Am considering getting an HRM. I have about 15 pounds to lose. Most of my workouts include a Zumba class, a pilates class, and then a couple of DVDs I do at home. Obviously, I have no idea as to the true amount of calories I'm burning. Do I need to? Do you love yours and couldn't live without it? Or -…

Hungry Girl's Mexilicious Shrimp & Corn Fandango Salad
Had this last night, and happily having (minus the shrimp) for lunch today! I added some canned tuna for lunch since we ate all the shrimp last night.

Hello ~ from a 10 lbs on/ 10 lbs off kinda girl....
Yep: I am one of those! I was on WW for about a year and lost the 25 pounds that needed to go away. Since I quit going to meetings, quit doing online and quit being accountable to myself, I've put back on about 10 pounds. Checked out a few sites, and this looked like a pretty good one. Nice to be here!
