This isn't a recipe, just a tip. Most of you probably already do this...but I'm slow sometimes...
I discovered you can cook baked potatoes (regular or sweet) in a crock pot. I wrapped several in foil, put them in my crock pot on low and went to work! when I got home I had baked potatoes that were ready to peel and mash.
just thought I would share. great job everyone on improving your health! whether you see it on the scale or not.

QuiltMom, it's so much easier to fix one meal, glad your hubby is with you :D When I lose weight then my husband does too!!
PhyllisM said (quote) i rejoined again the gym that is close by my house cause they cut their dues in half did that in Jan. haven't been yet. ate 3 mini icecream sandwiches todays one of these day I'll get back on it been quilting too much teehee WAY TO GO!!!! Glad you are here with us.
Here is a recipe I use for a quickie dessert that my family enjoys and even my friends. It really does not taste low cal.
Pumpkin Spice Cake
Take a box of spice cake mix and add to it 1/2 cup applesauce and 1 small can pumpkin (16oz) In a large bowl mix together, until mixed. Pour into sprayed 9x13 pan. Bake for 25 to 30 min at 350 degrees. Let cool and serve with low cal cool whip.
Cut into pieces of 12 and it is 100 cal per slice or 2pts. I like to keep my cake in frig so it stays cold but you don't have to. ENJOY!! :thumbup: :thumbup:

:-D :-D
Someone shared this recipe at a WW meeting several years ago and it's low in calories and yummy too!!
Thanks for the tip RoseHall about the potatoes, I didn't know that either.

I weighed in at my WW meeting last night and I had a 2.4 lb. loss. I was so excited. That puts me only 2.4 away from my next goal. I am going to keep doing what I am doing. You may get tired of hearing me say this, but, once again, thank you all for all of your encouragement and support. I really helps so much.
