I can’t believe they exist, but there is a low fat/low calorie version of Ramen Noodles out there! I LOVE Ramen noodles, so I was happy to find these on the shelf at the grocery store. They were right above where the regular ramen noodles …
One thing that I have been trying to change in my weight loss this time around is the night time eating!! For some reason I would do great during the day, stay on track, drink my water, avoid food pitfalls at work, but then when …
I couldn’t go to my regular weigh in today because of a work conflict, BUT, I think I did great this week making healthier choices. I refrained from weighing myself at home because I am still in the zone, and I want to stay there, so …
I get a regular e-mail from www.fitnessmagazine.com and in a recent e-mail they listed a few summer drinks that won’t sacrifice your waistline! The first one was for a Mojito Fresco: 2 large limes, cut into pieces 2 cups water 2/3 cups sugar 2 cups water …
Let me first start out by saying that I LOVE McDonald’s Sausage Egg McMuffin’s and hash browns. Back in my fast food days, it was not uncommon to start my day like this. And the worst part was I wouldn’t get one hash brown, but …
Believe it or not, this is an example of one pound of fat lost!!I can’t believe another week has gone by!! I’m diggin’ my new outlook of taking things one day at a time, because before you know it, its time for my weekly …
Sometimes its hard to lose weight when no one else in your family needs to. I still get requests to make dishes that may not fit into my healthy eating plan. One request I got from my oldest son for one of his favorites: Baked …
Earlier today, I mentioned I got a few cookbooks from the library. I made a recipe from a cookbook called “Low-Calorie Cookbook” by the American Heart Association. The recipe made 12 muffins, but since they were so low in calories, and I LOVE big muffins, I just …
I took my daughter to a branch of our local library the other day to get her some books to help her get ready for 1st grade. Looking on the online catalog, I was wondering if they had The Biggest Loser cookbooks, books, vidoes etc… …
I was at the grocery store picking up some snacks to go to the pool with my family. I was going to get fat free Pringles, or pretzel sticks when I saw these chips on the shelf. I picked up the bag and looked at …
For the longest time, if I was trying to lose weight I would for some reason stay away from smoothies because I always thought they were too many calories. Not so! Today I made myself a mango smoothie and it was a great way to …
Happy 4th!! I’ve been on vacation for the past week which has been so nice! Today we are going to a family party. I’ve had one of my Peanut Butter muffins for breakfast, and I plan to have a light lunch and I am thinking …
These muffins make me very happy! As I’ve said before, the allure of the bakery by my house to get a muffin before work was very strong. It would get to the point where I would say to myself, if there is a parking space …

My brother has his own blog about the diet/food struggle. Both of us have had success losing weight, and watched it creep up again. Starting again this year for both of us, and being more conscious of what we are eating, we share recipes and food …
I made pancakes this morning from a recipe I found in Clean Eating Magazine. If you haven’t seen this magazine yet, (I think the first edition was in December), it’s got great recipes, success stories and exercises in it. The pancakes turned out great, although …
Exercise!!! Exercise is a funny thing. We all know that exercising can help our weight loss efforts go faster, but why is it so hard to get you’re a** in gear and do it!! That has always been my dilemma. Either I eat great, …
There are so many versions of this soup. I got the recipe a few years ago from my sister, she and I have tweaked it here and there. It’s very adaptable, so you can do a lot of things with it. The story starts there. …

I can’t believe it, another week has gone by! I am happy to say I am down another pound, so my total so far is 13 pounds!! Yeah!! The best part of that is that I still went out to dinner twice and had pizza …

Weight loss is such a weird thing! The last two weeks, I wrote down all my points, didn’t go crazy on the weekends, and I barely lost a thing! Then I go to my Weight Watchers meeting and the leader says “Great job, you’re down …
