I Wish I Knew How to LOSE You--The Weight Loss Thread (check first post)
Front-Ranger:
Dang, I think I'm caught in a do-loop. I gain 2 pounds every weekend, and I take it off again in the subsequent week. Must get out of sitting and eating all day on Sundays!! The mountains are calling to me!
Question for Chuck: how can we make salads more interesting?

How to make a salad interesting?
Add different things to it.
Instead of iceberg lettuce, use spinach. Use different seasonings or dressings.
I like spicy stuff and wasabi. I add a little "Wasabi Blast" to my salad to give it extra cruch, and extra heat.

You can get calorie-free crunch from water chestnuts and celery and carrots too. I've started planning what's going in the little garden spot this spring.

I get caught in those things, too.
Right now, though, I seem to be gradually creeping down. I'm down about 3 lbs altogether. I'd like to lose faster, but fast or slow I like the direction I'm going.

I know you asked Chuck, but what I do is put just about anything on a bed of arugula or mache, lightly dressed with a touch of olive oil and lemon or vinegar. I use leftovers from the previous night's dinner, including taco fillings of course but also chicken, meatloaf, etc. And I usually keep a package of smoked salmon in the fridge for this purpose, too. I love smoked salmon, not to mention all those omega-3s!

Well I've been doing my healthy eating for 11 days now using the myfitnesspal app.
I had a weekend with 10 friends in aviemore at the weekend so I knew i wouldn't keep to my calorie intake on the saturday, what with big bowls of pasta and garlic breads, alcoholic drinks, cake and nibbles. I went 1200 calories over! which is the equivalent of one days calorie intake.. eek!
But I weighed myself last night and Ive still lost 2pounds so I'm chuffed as the programme aim on the 1260 calories a day is a loss of 2 pounds per week. And I'm a week and a half in.
I can eat more calories if i do exercise - the Net figure is 1260 so if I burn 150 calories doing pilates - the app works this out for me - I can then have 1260+150!)
