If it's OK with the moderators, I say we keep it in a thread. If not, we'll go PM.
Hey Alex, you know what else is good on tilapia? Cilantro, cumin, lime juice, a teeny, tiny bit of butter, chili powder and cayenne. Even with the butter, it's still really low in fat and calories. I serve it with a tiny bit of brown rice.
Another good way to make veggies is with red pepper flakes, garlic and a tiny bit of olive oil...just sautee it until done to your liking. :)
So yummy, Kel. I can't believe you've lost 5lbs! I'm really, really proud of you.
The hardest part has been not eating past 7pm. I'm used to having a dessert or munchies late at night while Aaron and I watch TV so my tummy starts grumbling wondering what's going on now. I just grit my teeth and go to bed a little earlier.
omg, how did i miss this?
So, im here with you all. my goal is like 110-120lbs LMAO i was 107 until i met darcy...
ok, i started, well, i tried, to start eating a bit better. OK, so im a Tim Horton Junkie. I LOVE my Cola and im addicted to cheese. but if i dont buy cheese, i dont have any to eat, which has helped, but darcy had a nacho craving and so, we bought cheeze, and guess who ate the block? ME yep. ugh.
I did, though, lose 10lbs since January... FROM NOT EATING CHEESE GUYS! my god!
i am not a big 'healthy eater' i hate almost all veggies. So that helps me NONE. like, i dont know, if i put something i dont like in my mouth, instantly have that vomit feeling. and, well, thats not fun at all.
I have, also been eating some tuna sandwiches, yum, i used to be addicted to tuna when i was a kid, except i do put mayo on it. boo. thats about the only fish i will eat. lol
I dont eat Chocolate *not often anyways, one bar maybe every 2 months?* it makes me sick... 12
any other hints and tips? my weight was 180 in Jan, down now 171 *yes, i had to eat that dam bar of cheese*
we got a tread mill, and i used it once, but the belt was loose so we had to have it fixed, and i havent used it again since... i know, i really should. and the weather is much too cold for me to walk. TOO BAD i guess.
Does anyone have a good, easy recipe for low-fat, low calorie smoothies?
OK, yesterday was weigh-in day and I don't see any results here from our "Losers".
I can definitely understand the stress eating!!
Don't forget to drink lots of water, Kate - that will help flush all the stuff out that is causing you to not be able to metabolize faster.
I am happy to say I am down 11.5 pounds as of this morning - even though I was pissed off last night and ate M&M Speck-tacular eggs for dinner.

CONGRATS to you...that is awesome!!! ;D
As for the stress eating...it's not that I'm eating because of stress, I just get in a "dumpy" sort of mood and it seems that my body reacts to that, by retaining more water or something...I dunno ::)
And thanks for the water tip...I think that's where I've sort of been lacking lately to be honest. I am still nursing so always drink at least 6 glasses a day. I always have 1 cup of coffee every morning but lately (with the added stress) I've been having about 3 cups...which would totally dehydrate me, so must drink more H2O!!! ::) ::) ::)
Just make sure you aren't drinking too much. I got in trouble at the doctor's the other day for drinking far too much water. I was averaging about 150-200oz per day. I know, I know, I just love water. Anyway, they asked me to cut my intake in half because drinking too much water can dangersouly lower your potassium which can lead to a heart attack.
I'm sorry, I'm not trying to be a worry wart. Just don't get excessively after it like I did!
