I want to bring a healthy dish to a potluck
But, I have no idea what to bring. Suggestions AND the recipe would be amazingly awesome. The group is about 15 women (all overweight). I suppose the dish is really for ME so I don't load up on the calorie laden stuff they bring. Help! Oh, and thank you! P.S.- I forgot to mention it is a "breakfast".

Food question
Tomorrow is the end of my 1st week of phase 1 induction. I have a job that requires me to be up at 5:00 am, so I have been making hard boiled eggs and string cheese for breakfast. I am required to take my lunch at 11:30 am, and I'm just not hungry. Should I eat anyhow? I've been packing almonds and leftovers from the night…

Personal Responsibility
I've used this term so many times when complaining about someone or something else. I read a blog today that got me to thinking about MY personal responsibility to MYSELF. The basic line of thought was that the writer was tired of hearing people make excuses and then whining and promising they would do better, without…

Another Chance
Thank you God for another chance to get it right today. I'm thankful that even though I've neglected myself and become overweight, you have given me another opportunity to work on my weight loss and health. I'm thankful I have a home filled with people I love, a job, my extended family and friends. I'm especially thankful…

What was it that inspired you to make the decision to change? Was it one thing? Did you see a photo? Did someone say something to you? When you did make the decision to change, what was the first thing you started doing differently? I've been at this off & on for a while and am wondering how to get the "focus" that so many…

Curious about Thanksgiving/Holiday food
What are everyone's Thanksgiving food plans? Anyone have any really yummy lo-cal or low-fat recipes I could sneak into the feast? I found another thread similar, but I'm looking specifically for substitutions for the usual fare..... something my family won't realize is 'GOOD" for them.....

P90X info needed
I've heard a little about this program and am wondering what the people who have used it think...? Is it worth the $$ ? Do you use it consistently? I've had a few people tell me it is really hard and that they think I couldn't do it, which kind of makes me even more curious. I'm 52 and 215..... would this be too intense to…

Slow weight loss?
Is 5 lbs in almost 4 weeks a low amount to lose? I feel like I'm moving like a snail. I know I didn't put it on quickly BUT this is so discouraging. Sigh. I've decided that instead of 3 days of 60 minutes of exercise, I'm going to exercise at least 20-30 minutes EVERY day. I just bought some 10 lb weights to start strength…

What WAS that noise?
So I'm going through my morning, just minding my own business and I hear eeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrp. Huh? What was that? rumble errrrr growl..... Not that I'm a complete ding-a-ling, but I haven't heart that noise in YEARS. Yep, it was my tummy growling. I have been so used to grazing all day that my stomach had never…
