you like breakfast food? try this.

My name is Shannon, i'm 21 years old and was heavy throughout my entire childhood. Last spring I got motivated to lose weight- at the time I topped out at 235 lbs. (i'm 5'8) I am now at 125 lbs. If you're counting calories, here's what helped me big time: Special K 99% fat free waffles (three waffles has 190 calories) what to put on top of those waffles? Try Maple Grove Farms sugar free low calorie syrup (10 calories per 1/4 cup this is a great alternative cuz...regular syrup has 100+ calories per 1/4 cup) and parkay fat free calorie free butter spray. If you're not satiated yet...grab some Egg Beaters (30 calories per 1/4 cup). You can always make an omlet out of your egg beaters by topping them off with some fresh veggies like onion and freshly sliced mushrooms. This is a really low calorie way to eat...and it's delicious! You should be able to find the maple grove farms syrup at a larger grocery store/Cracker Barrel restaurants/or at their website. http://www.insightbb.com/external/i...ml.infospace.com/isight.main/search/redir.htm
Hope this helps someone who's wishing for a good alternative to fattening breakfast foods! Here's me after losing the weight~it can be done guys..just stay strong and keep on movin!!

I have just recently started doing WW again. I have been eating cereal for breakfast every day and could use a little variety. Thanks for the ideas.

Wow! Thanks for the thread.

I make egg white omlets all the time.

Try 1/2 red pepper, 1 slice of jalapano pepper and black pepper.

Thin and Trim ham (2 slices with black pepper to taste).

I like Special K waffles by themselves but the Maple sugar free is good. I bring it with me to WDW.

Did you do WW, Atkins, SB or your own?
