[TwinkieMama]

Carry on Peeps!!! Skinny Minnies - Today is a new day - you have a choice, make it a good one!!!

Re read the post for the 8 ab tips, and SUCK IT IN

This just bears repeating!

You have a choice, make a good one.... that is a great statement and I say it alot to my kids not about food per se but this is something that can carry over into all areas of our lives!

Hey, I'm just checking in with my DISappearing friends. It sounds like you are all doing so great with your water and excercising and food diary and stuff. Keep up the Great work I can't wait until friday to see all of the pounds we have lost. I also can't stay away from the scale I weigh myself several times everyday.. not always such a good thing.

I had a pretty crappy, stressful day yesterday and guess what usually happens when I have those kind of days.. yep I eat.. but not yesterday. I must say that I was very well behaved.. you would be proud. I had to go to New Orleans to take care of some business (about an hour and 30 min from my house) I had made plans to have lunch with my mom and my sister while I was there since I don't get to see them too often since I moved. The entire time I was thinking "how am I going to resist the temptation of famous New Orleans food" Well to make a long story short(ish) things didnt work out as planned and I didnt get to see my sister for lunch so I bought some turkey and swiss cheese and ate 3 turkey and swiss rolls for lunch. I ate the new low carb high protein Special K cereal for breakfast and dinner. I also ate a snack of sunflower seeds around 3ish. The sunflower seeds are very filling for a snack. I buy the Good Sense sunflower seeds already out of the shell they are found in the produce area of my local store. The bad news is I didnt drink as much water as I should have and I didnt get to excercise (except for the bum squeezes I did in the car drive to and from). My boys had Reese ice cream bars for desert and usually anything Reese (and cheesecake) is my weakness but the skinny minnie inside of me resisted tempation and it wasnt too hard either.

On my ride to and from I was listening to Oprah and friends on XM radio and she had Dr. Oz and some trainer guy talking about diet and fitness. If you visit Oprah.com there is a 20 min gym free workout that they said you can download for free and Dr Oz also gives some diet tips .. such as heathy snack suggestions etc. A few months ago I also bought Dr. Phil's diet plan on CD.. but I havent listened to it yet.. I buy these things as if just buying them will help me lose weight even if they do sit on a shelf never to be read.. I am such a SucKKa!!

OK so now I'm off to drink my water and excersice. Wish me luck !!!

Like I'll weigh before I go to bed, than again in the morning (before going to the bathroom) and there can be a 1-2 pound flux. just from 8 hours of sleep ????

I try to make it my policy to weigh first thing in the morning right before I shower....dry and nekkid numbers are the best! But you're right UM...only Friday's weigh in counts. Enjoying my Lean Cuisine for lunch. Hope everybody's having a great day!

I just read this and Dr. Oz's ideas are very interesting. "YOU: On a Diet"

SOunds like everyone is doing great! I love this thread. Would never think to discuss this stuff at wieght watchers or anywhere like that, but here it is so much fun!

OK small step, but BIG for me! I had a turkey sandwich for lunch and did't put any cheese on it! I usually put cheese on everything. Cardboard and cheese sandwich? Sounds Delicious!

 

[TwinkieMama]

Thanks Kat (I love your user name BTW- very clever!) and Melinda.

I am going to weigh and measure my waist on Fridays. Dr. Oz is kind of echoing what I already felt... I am not aiming for a number.. I am aiming for a "look"...

ok off to fix lunch! PB&J for kids... healthy choice dinner for me! (220 calories, $1.57 at wallyworld)

Pixie! good one! last night I ate a hamburger patty on a bed of lettuce with dill pickles and a dressing made from ketchup & mustard..... so I left out the cheese, mayo and the bread!

 

[aries1980]

Morning Skinnie Minnies so this morning i started off with my 1/2 cup ceral and a banana. Working on the first half of my water.. today is a little sluggish and on and off rainy, so not sure if the walking will get in but maybe ill head to the mall and walk there.. havent decided yet. Had a mid morning snack of peanut butter on toast so far so could with the eating of all the food! Check in again later

Anyone have that recipe for the Chocolate bean cake?

 

[KatInHat]

Did I mention that I HATE excercise ??? I hate to sweat and get all out of breath. Sweating just feels so wrong.. but I guess its essential in weight loss. What about coffee?? is it a big NO NO? I like to drink a cold coffee with sugar free Hazelnut Coffee Mate creamer. What do you think. sabotage or not so bad ?

 

[Minnie]

Arrrrrgh I’m so ticked I just typed out that bean cake recipe and it knocked me out. I’ll try again in a few.

 

[eeyore45]

Here I am

Love the posts so far!!!

Add me to the group that weighs over and over... last night I weighed, knowing my chinese salt would add pounds... then this morning... ALL GONE!!! I have read that if you weigh yourself first thing in the morning, (after the potty break!! ) you weigh less because of the gravity - gravity pulls us to earth, but when you sleep... (apparently there is no gravity pulling on us during sleep!! gosh darn I just read how dumb that sounds, but I do weigh less first thing in the morning... and I do remember reading it has to do with sleep and gravity...

ok, another cheese aholic here!!! YUM... so I too made a great choice today - instead of getting fast food for lunch I come home and eat - and type here!!! Mind you when I do eat at the mall, or BK I always now chose a kids meal, smaller portions, and I never finish the fries... BUT TODAY... I came home, and chose TUNA!!! (now I threw out the mayo from the fridge, so that was a challenge, but I dug in the drawer and found a packet of fat free mayo!! mustard is a better choice... I am learning to like mustard, the grainy poupon is ok...

I've only gone 40 ounces so far of water... but that's because I'm not close to a bathroom!!

Another trick - tomato juice with 1/4 tsp of cayenne pepper!! Life choice thats good for you, and is a filler!! just 6 - 8 oz ---

Anyone have that recipe for the Chocolate bean cake?

I wondered if anyone would ask for this recipe after I mentioned it. I KNOW if sounds awful but its truly not bad and it got me through those SBD Ph1 2 weeks that are so tough. It is VERY filling which helps during my after work times of cravings.

Some tips that are really important for this to work though:

1 – Rinse those beans thoroughly! I use a colander and rinse multiple times.

2 – DO NOT use a mixer! Trust me it will be absolutely horrible (need a zzubing smilie)


PEANUT BUTTER BEAN BROWNIE/CAKE

1 15 oz can black beans, rinsed and drained
2 eggs (or egg sub equivalent)
1/4 cup water
3 Tablespoons of Canola Oil
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 heaping Tablespoon natural peanut butter
3 Tablespoons cocoa
1 1/2 cups Splenda (not packets)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1/2 small package chocolate fudge sugar free pudding mix (don’t add to the very end)!

Instructions:

1 – Spray your blender or food processor with Pam.

2 – Add no more than a fourth of the following ingredients to the blendor/fp:

beans, eggs, water, canola oil, vanilla, splenda cocoa

3 – Between each addition of the above items allow the beans to become thoroughly smooth – you DO NOT want bean chunks whatsoever – usually takes a couple minutes between each addition.

4 – Once thoroughly smooth add peanut butter (don’t have to but it tastes better) and baking powder

5 – Finally add the sf pudding mix and nuts (neither are necessary but the sf pudding mix really helps)

6 – Pour mixture into Pam sprayed pie pan, glass baking dish, or my personal favorite muffin or mini muffin tins. Then bake at a 350 degree oven for 20-25 minutes for first 2 or 10-15 for mini muffins. (Do not over cook but don’t want these gooie either.

7 – I like these with a little bit of butter or Redi Whip on top.

8 – I normally freeze these into individual serving baggies and then defrost and warm before eating.

Hope you enjoy! (Sorry for the kindergarten instructions but when I cook I need them )

I love this phrase! I'm gonna print it out and put on the fridge.

Kat: You do alot of driving. That = a lot of potty breaks! Sounds like your day went better than you thought. That coffee drink sounded ok.

I am not aiming for a number.. I am aiming for a "look".

Is sexy bikin model a realistic look? Sorry, that's the first thing that pops into my mind.

MINNIE!!! It's SB friendly! Can you puree all the beans prior to mixing? so as to eliminate all the bean chunks? I cant wait to try this! I'm rinsing beans NOW! My chocolate pudding mix is sugar free and is 2.1 oz. (serves 6 *1/2C.ea) is that considered a small pkg?

 

[UtahMama]

1 Point Chocolate Muffins!!!!!

makes 24 nice sized, very moist, chocolatey, FIBERY muffins!!!! (You'll lose eating these fromthe mass amounts of fiber! LOL!)

3 C. ALL BRAN cereal either the buds or "sticks" doesnt matter
2 1/2 C water
1 1/2 t. baking powder
1 t. vanilla
1 pkg. KrusteaZ Fat Free Brownie mix (I've also done this with the blueberry muffin mix that is Fat Free from Krusteaz!!! for a change)

SOAK the cereal in the water for about 10 minutes

ADD baking powder, vanilla,and brownie mix. MIX WELL (I use a kitchen aid)

Spray muffin pan with PAM then fill each tin about 1/2 full.

Bake in preheated oven at 350* for 20-25 mins!


These muffins are tasty and filling! Grab one whenever you are needing chocolate or a quick snack! Unsure of the calories but 1 point is GOOD!

Hey Monica...believe me ONLY my DH and GOD will see me in that bikini!!! LOL!
I'm wayyyyy too modest to wear a bikini in public. I've had 4 children and my "realistic" look is when I can put on my old jeans (the size 9/10 ones) and run around with my kids!

You could try it Uma but whatever you do please don't use a mixer. Talk about disgusting!

I found that to get the beans without the chunks you really need at least the oil to get them blending. I'd do it in small sections though as it gets tough to get the chunks out.

As for the pudding mix - I'm not sure it is the smaller box compared to the bigger box (make sure to add it at the very end as it gets very thick this batter will not pour or be liquidy).
