Carry around crystal light singles. Add one of these to your bottled water, for a little pizazz on your tastebuds.
5 calories Each! Try the Pomegrante ones, soooo good!

Journal your daily food and beverage intake.
You can find a great link on our site for an online food and exercise journal, that will help you figure out how many calories you need to drop weight, and how many you had had each day!

Park in a parking spot far from the door, take the stairs, take a walk around the block, vacuum, sneak in exercise anyway you can. Get active!!
Thanks Britt!

Weight Loss Tips and Advice

if you are making a box of brownies and use only the egg whites and use applesauce instead of oil you cut out 900, yes 900 calories!!!

Water! Make sure you are getting plenty of water a day. You can also chew on ice chips, but that isn't so good for your teeth!

Here is a set of common dietary guidelines offered by six national health organizations* as protection against the major chronic diseases:Eat a variety of foods.Choose most of what you eat from plant sources.Eat at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables every day.Eat at least 6 servings of whole-grain foods each day.Minimize the high-fat foods you eat, especially those from animal sources.Choose low-fat, low-cholesterol foods.Limit the amount of simple sugars in your diet.Remember—your healthcare professional can help you determine the daily calorie intake that is right for you.*The American Heart Association, the American Cancer Society, the American Dietetic Association, the American Academy of Pediatrics, the National Institutes of Health, and the American Society for Clinical NutritionEating three regularly scheduled meals a day is another part of healthy diet —a healthy breakfast, a healthy lunch and a healthy dinner every day.While we know that this isn't always easy, we also know that eating on a schedule will help you avoid between-meal hunger, which often leads to overeating at the next meal.Here's a 1400-calorie sample one-day menu to use as a guide:Breakfast1/2 cup oatmeal1/2 cup fruit cocktail in juice 1 cup plain low-fat yogurt mixed with fruitLunch 2 slices light whole wheat bread2 oz turkey ham and 1 oz low-fat cheese 1/8 avocado, sliced alfalfa sprouts 1 tsp mayonnaise1/2 cup baby carrots 2 Tbsp nonfat dressing for dipping 1 appleDinner4 oz chicken leg, no skin, baked 1 cup whole wheat pasta 4 Tbsp low-fat vinaigrette, 2 for marinade and 2 to toss with pasta (add extra vinegar, lemon juice or water as needed) 1 cup broccoli and 1 cup zucchini, steamed and tossed with pasta8 oz. 1% milkSnack1 cup cantaloupe melon 1/4 cup cottage cheese OR 8 oz skim milk 1 1/4 cups strawberries—blend with ice for a shake

Recipes

spicy chicken wraps
and in one serving (one wrap)There is only about 210 calories unless you add cheese then its a bit more.
Anyway, shred one cooked chicken breast,
stir in 1/8 of a cup of A1 Chicago style marinade (you can add more if its to dry for your taste)
and then stir in a chopped green pepper.
Spoon some on a warm tortilla and roll up. So good. Of course for you side you can serve a salad or veggie.

Fruit Sundae Cones
The weather is getting a bit warmer now that spring is upon us. This is a recipe that I know young and old alike will love! It's a wonderful way to get in your fruits in a fun and delicious treat.
Makes 6 servings
3/4 cup cut-up strawberries
3 cups assorted cut-up fresh fruit (such as apples, bananas, cherries, plums, seedless red grapes,kiwi and/or peaches)
6 giant waffle ice cream cones
1/4 cup coconut, toasted (optional)
Place strawberries in blender; cover and blend until smooth.
Place the 3 cups fruit in medium bowl; gently toss to combine. Spoon fruit into cones. Drizzle with strawberry puree. If desired, top with coconut

Strawberry Spinach Salad
1 quart fresh strawberries, sliced
1 (10 oz) pkg washed baby spinach
1 cup sliced almonds, toasted
Toss and serve with sweet poppy seed dressing
Sweet poppy seed dressing
¾ cup sugar
½ cup honey
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground mustard
1 teaspoon finely grated onion
½ cup lemon juice
1 cup vegetable oil
½ teaspoon poppy seeds
Mix all ingredients except oil and poppy seeds in a blender. Gradually add oil and seeds and continue blending. Toss with Strawberry Spinach Salad.Now the dressing goes a long ways. So go easy on it. I actually halved the recipe and still had way more than I could ever use.

Thanks Britt!
