Have you checked out the site sparkpeople.com? My Jenny consultant actually recommended it because you can enter recipes into the site and it will break each portion of the recipe down so I can figure out my exchanges for my fats, starches, meats, etc. You just have to sign up for the st...

If you're not into making homemade soup there is a brand in the freezer section that is low in calories and sodium: Tabatchnick. Today I'm having Minestrone - it's only 100 calories, 1.5 grams of fat and 350mg of sodium. If you have one cup it equals 1 starch. Today I had 2 s...

This totally through me through a loop - I was trying to compare desserts for my snack to the calories/fat/sugar in the Jenny Triple Chocolate Cheesecake. I had no idea how MUCH sugar is in it...180 calories, 4g of fat, and 21 g of sugar! Holy cow that's a lot of sugar! Maybe that'...

I promised you I would find some soup recipes that are low-fat and low in sodium. My friend from school has a superb book with TONS of recipes if you're a soup lover: Cooking Light Soup. I'm going to ask for this for Christmas because I love to eat warm things during the wintertime...

Damage from the progressive dinner? .8 pounds. Not too bad considering I was so hungry and didn't have a lot of options. I'll just add in an extra work out this week - no problem!

Again, my plans to control what I ate last night at the progressive dinner were thwarted. I certainly did try to follow my plan - we went on an hour and a half hike with my parents and the dogs which was a blast. It was a beautiful day and everyone really enjoyed themselves. My son...

Did you know waffles are considered as a starch and a fat?! Pancakes are healthier for you than waffles. I asked my consultant if I could have Kashi Waffles on this new maintenance plan and she said generally waffles are made with oil to keep them from sticking to the iron. Pancake...

It's that time of year again: my family's annual progressive dinner! I can't tell you how much I look forward to this event. It's so fun to "hop" as we call it from one house to the next. The first house has appetizers, the second is dinner, and the third is dessert. It...

Two exciting pieces of news happened when I went to get weighed in at JC yesterday. First, I lost a pound! I'm in utter shock! I did two days of my own on maintenance, went out and had a few alcoholic beverages Tuesday night, and eating Thanksgiving twice. This makes me feel ...
