I did not see the one I just did Walk Away Your Hips and Thighs, but I have all her first ones from 1 mile up to 5 Walk Away the Pound Express. I hope you like them.

These sauces I have been making, do not completely "cover" the noodles like a tradional sauce.

A large can of cut up tomatoes
A tblspoon of Italian seasoning
garlic to taste
large chicken breast cut into chunks

I put a 1/2 cup of water in a skillet and the tomatos, juice and all, garlic and seasoning and heat to boiling, add seasoning and chicken, reduce to a simmer. Add a little more water if it gets to dry. When the chicken is done add the noodles and lightly sprinkle with parmesan cheese. I like to add a tblspoon or so of olive oil too.
The secret is to go heavy on the seasonings for flavor, light on the cheese. Olive oil is healthy and "they" are saying now it is good for people with fibro, too :wink:
You can also add a "little" tomato sauce, but if you look on the cans, almost all add sugar to the sauce. The same with canned and jars of spaghetti sauce.

I do the same thing only substitute chili powder and mexican seasonings and use it with rice, for a low cal mexican rice dish.

You can have gravy with potatoes, noodles, rice. Just use canned broth. There is only 40+ calories to a whole can...plus a few more in the cornstarch or flour. Much healthier than using drippings :wink: Try adding different spices to this also :D

I also pre packaged some of my own snacks. If I sit down with the box, bag or whatever...I will eat half or all of it in one sitting :oops: one serving is good, 6 is not LMBO

When I bring fresh fruits and veggies home, I wash and cut them up right away. For me, if I can grab them easily I am more apt to eat them.

I have one meal a week (within reason on portions) that I really like. Fried pork chop, a meal out, or what ever I am craving... that way I don't feel deprived and the other 20 meals for the week are on the diet. I also allow myself a treat here and there. If I keep goodies in the house, I WILL eat on them until they are gone :roll: So I buy single serving sized treat at a time.

An eye opener for me was when the fast food places started putting the calorie count on their menus... One meal 1200+ calories :shock: and most of the calories are fats. I may grab a burger, but I learned to forego the frys and drink. I take it home and have vegetables and a better beverage with it too. Or I have brought my own veggies with me if I am meeting friends and drink something else besides pop or shakes.

i used to put jarred salsa on my baked potato instead of butter..no fat in salsa.
if i can get my mexican friend to make me fresh salsa , i use that..
i think eating the meals,3 or 4 times a day, is the hardest for me..

I love salsa on my Baked potatoes. Fresh salsa is even better. I don't eat baked potatoes very often though.
One of my favorites is to use the fresh salsa as a salad dressing on romaine lettuce with 4 oz cooked shrimp, 2 Tbl lite 3 cheese from Trader Joes and sometimes a half of an avocado. I then take a half serving of lite tortilla chips and crush them to use as a crunchie on my salad. I love it!!!

Well ladies, I can tell you that I am a definite success story (BTW, I am 53 years old). I started a program over 2 years ago and lost 52 lbs in 3 months, my husband lost 34 lbs in a month, we are totally healthier than we have ever been, and have kept it all off for 2 years. It is a doctor-endorsed nutritional cleansing and fat burning program, and you can adjust the program to meet your needs and goals. All three of my children enjoy the products, ages 19, 14 and 8, as well as my 80 year old mother. This is a program not just for losing weight, but for overcoming health issues. In the case of my mom and my 14 and 8 year old children, they do not need to lose weight, they just need to take in good nutrition.

If anyone is interested in knowing more, I'd be happy to share with you. You can email me direct at: [email protected]

In good health to all of you!

In the past I successfully did Jennie Craig, twice. I don't eat much meat so when JC quit having the veggie menus I gave it up. It was quite expensive. WW a couple of years ago and lost 25, have kept most of it off. Now I excerise 4 to 7 times at the Senior Center, walk or run weather permitting. Four times a years I do Senior Boot Camp. I am the person that hates, hates, hates excerise. The excerise teacher we have at the center has all the excerises geared for Seniors. It makes so much difference. When I do Boot Camp we have a '30 meal plan'. I still don't like excerize, but I can see such a big difference in my body with out losing a lot of weight. I tell my DH it's so I can take care of him when he gets old(er). Good luck to those that have 10 or 100 to lose. It's hard no matter what the amount is.

Unless you weigh 400 lbs, 4 lbs is a bit fast to lose weight. The medically recommended loss rate would be 1% of your starting weight per week.

That being said, I lost 13 pounds the first week I was on my diet...but VERY little of that was fat! My ankles and feet looked like footballs when I started...by the end of the second week, when I lost an additional 7 pounds, I all of the sudden had ankle bones again...and I could see the bones in my feet! :D
After that, I lost between 2 and 3 pounds a week for awhile, that dropped to between 1 and 2 pounds...and for the last couple of months I've been eating at maintenance to just maintain my current weight thru the holidays. Now I need to get back with the changes I've made and lose this last 10-15 lbs! :)
