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.

Question for Chuck: how can we make salads more interesting?

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!)

Just go to...sleep! Researchers at the University of Chicago found that dieters who sleep 8 1/2 hours lose 56% more than those who sleep 5 1/2 hours. Sleep deprivation may cause a spike in an appetite stimulating hormone. Or, it may be simpler than that. When you're sleeping, you can't be eating or drinking!
