Re: totally o/t but for those of you making New Years Resolutions

[Guest guest]

I am making an effort to get healthy too! I'm about 65 pounds overweight and

not healthy at all. Everyone on my fathter's side has died at a very young age

from heart disease. I am nearly 34 and need to make changes!!!! So let's do it

together! I can't wait to try your recipes. I am going to join Weight Watchers

tonight. If I come across some good recipes, I'll send them to you. Good for

you for sticking to your plan!

at the gym for 3 months now! Who Hoo!!!!

So, I thought if anyone else was in the same boat as me you might

enjoy these yummy recipeis that I sort of came across and doctored

up to satisfy my taste buds...

's favorite Smoothie

1 cup fat free milk

1-2 scoops of protein

1 pkt sweet n low

2 tablespoons of frozen yogurt (strawberry is my favorite)

handful of frozen fruit (favorite is strawberries or raspberries)

Toss all ingredients into the blender and there you have the perfect

snack to curb your appetite. Even my daughter loves to have a

protein drink for breakfast..She likes hers with banana. You can

find powdered protein at walmart or a local GNC. I use vanilla whey

protein.

(for those of you that need to get weight on your children you can

fatten this smoothie up with ice-cream and whole milk)

Great tasting Turkey Lasagna

1 ½ pounds of lean ground turkey

1 ½ cups low fat cottage cheese

8 oz grated mozzarella (low fat would be best)

around 4 tomatoes

onion to taste

1 tsp. minced garlic

4-5 sliced zucchini

salt and pepper to taste

in large skilled sauté the onion and then add ground turkey, minced

garlic, tomatoes, salt and pepper. In a separate bowl mix your

cottage cheese and mozzarella cheese. Slice your Zucchini length

wise. In 9 x 12 pan layer meat mixture, zucchini and top with

cheese mix. Continue 2 more layers. Place in oven at 350 degrees

for 45 minutes.

My kids don't really like this meal and that would be an

understatement.lol However, my husband and I both love it! It

freezes well. I often place it in individual Tupperware containers

and pull one out of the freezer for an easy lunch!

Blessings my Friends,

Hi ;

That sounds really good. I have been making smoothies too, but add

a handfull of spinach or baby greens. I know it sounds horrible, but

you really can't taste them and you get more greens in your diet.

Summer - good luck with Weight Watchers! I started in April '04 and lost 50lbs

with them. It really helped me. I would recommend you check out their website

and the message boards there. So much help and lots of inspiration from the

folks who post there. You can do it! The plan fits in so well with real life -

that is what I like about it. Michele ( 18, spondy)

Thanks . I am about 5-10 lbs from their goal weight, and have taken a break

from meetings. But I still follow the plan and still watch my points. Since not

attending meetings, I have maintained or gone down a bit, did not gain over the

holidays. Like I said, I love how it is so realistic. I sit down with the family

for dinner, I eat what they eat. I am the type I cannot deny myself, or I want

it more. I have learned what a real portion of food is. OK, I'll stop the

advertising! LOL! Michele

summer, I know what you mean about the sugar addiction. I have been

on this new diet for one week and it really limits sugars and carbs

to a normal amount. For the first 4 days i had headaches from sugar

withdrawl. each day got a bit better and now they are gone.

I will probably stay strong until pms rolls around and then i will

be craving milk duds....Wish i were more like michele and had

learned portion control...but if i eat one then i will most

definately eat the whole box....yeah that would be the family size

economy box! :-)

Keep up the great work...What wonderful inspiration you can have

from michele being on the same program and loosing 50 lbs....

Thanks michele,

I exercised faithfully for 3 months, 5 days a week. Even ran 13

miles one day...(probably will never do that again) in that 3 months

I never lost a pound! My body holds on to fat like a drowning

person clinging to a life preserver. lol Anyway since adding the

change to my diet, coupled with the exercise that is when I was able

to shed 7 lbs. It has me energized me to keep going!

The battle remains as hard as ever but the one thing I have learned

is that you just keep trying each new day!

Hopefully, by summer I will be at my goal weight, but if not I will

just keep at it. Because in the long run i know that learning to

eat healthy and exercise are things that I need to be doing for a

lifetime and traits that i want to model for my kids!

Keep up the awesome job...You have been my inspiration for the

week! :-)
