Just goes to show that what we think is the right thing to do isn't always the right thing. I'd gotten stuck, too. What a simple fix! I should have realized my metabolism had slowed back down.

Knock on wood, I haven't gotten sick yet...but I am having trouble fitting into my clothes. Yikes! I too am stuck in the naughty corner. I blame it entirely upon Christmas.

Oh, wow, the almond milk and strawberries idea is fantastic! I think I'll have to try that. I bet it might be good with coconut milk, too. They've got all kinds of milk substitutes available these...

Potato substitutes

Lately I've had a terrible craving for potatoes. Something about a baked potato is seriously tempting me right now. I've considered mashing cauliflower, but I don't know if it would work. Anyone...

Thanks for the rule of thumb. I've been stumped for a while on what is good as far as daily carb intake. It's difficult to manage as bread, pasta, and potatoes are some of my favorite foods, but...

Getting back on the horse

I did my dreaded weigh-in today, and the holidays hit me harder than I thought! Instead of losing the extra ten pounds I figured I'd probably gain, it's fifteen. I am quite troubled by this. It's...

In some instances, fish is healthier than chicken, but it depends entirely upon the person. I can't stand seafood at all. I wish I had a better relationship with it, but it just doesn't agree with me.

We usually eat around that time, too. Eating earlier than that results in snacking, which is definitely not good for me. I tend to be hungrier at night than I am during the day, so the evening meal...

I've experimented with making them in a blender, and that seems to help cut down on the chalkiness. I've contemplated making it with soy milk instead to see if that helps the consistency a little....

Wonderful suggestions. I think I might need to look into more cauliflower recipes. We eat a lot of broccoli, but it tends to not agree with my stomach. If cauliflower is a little more mild, it might...

Slim Fast

Anyone a fan of this? I've tried to get into using meal replacement shakes, but the most they seem to do is take the edge off. Slim Fast is the best one I've found so far. The only problem I have...

Honey has always helped me with sore throats. Peppermint tea is a close second. When I'm really hard up, I'll suck on ice chips to help cool my throat down. Sometimes throat spray just doesn't do the...

Ooh, I've never seen this before. Looks like it might be a good idea! I didn't realize there were different things you could do with these, aside from lifting them like regular weights.

Christmas season is brutal when you're dieting. I've tried to change what cookies I make for people each year so they're less tempting, but it's so hard! I feel your pain.

I'll admit, both my eyebrows popped at 440 calories a day. How are you supposed to exercise? I'd be too lightheaded to function. Has anyone else tried this?
