  • Fajitas (no tortillas though)

    Yogurt and fruit

    If you had to could you eat eggs scrambled with chopped onion, green pepper, red pepper, and tomatoes?

  • Kim you know that we love you and are some of your Biggest fans... Now right this very second go to your own blog and read 12/15 entry... Do you want to have a heart attack??? Do you want to jab yourself with 12mm needles everyday??? No, I am sure you don't...  Girl you can do this!! I know exactly what you are going through, believe me..
  • I know everyone eats their cottage cheese a different way, but I LOVE it with fruit cut up in! Greek yogurt is amazing and you can get it from Costco realyl cheap. Do you not like any kind of fish? Have you ever tried Blackened Salmon. I am not a fish person either but I eat it because I know its good for me:) Also there are so many things you can do with Chicken. Go to the foodnetwork.com or allrecipes.com and start looking for different recipes. YOU CAN DO THIS!

  • what about seasoning?? Can you use herbs and spices to change the taste of things?  That would help a lot in making meals seem different.
  • You can do this and you will feel so much better when you get used to the changes and start seeing the pounds fall off of you.  It's not going to be easy (nothing in life ever is) but it will be totally worth it in the end.  Keep reminding yourself of how excited you were when you started.

  • You can do this. I actually have an entore cookbook that is nothing but chicken recpies. I'll flip through it today and see what fits your other criteria. Finding little ways to change things up will help keep it interesting.

    You can do this. It's tough right now, but soon it'll be easy and then you won't even think about it anymore. It'll feel normal. And you won't want to go back to how you were eating before.

  • Maybe tomorrow I'll have a chance tomorrow to look up a couple things, but just seeing lamb (or chicken), potatoes, and yogurt my first thought was Indian food.

  • You can't have any carbs other than fruit and beans?! That's tough.

    I love blueberries w/ yogurt or cottage cheese. We get frozen wild blueberries -- they're smaller, so they thaw within a few hours, and they're cheaper than getting them fresh.

    Love smoothies w/ frozen fruit and yogurt -- you just need to thaw the fruit a teensy bit if it's something big like whole strawberries or peach slices. My rule of thumb for a good smoothie is to have a good base like an entire banana or a cup of peaches, then add one or two zingers like berries or kiwi, but in less quantity than the base fruit. Mmmmm... especially partially frozen! 

    Sucks you don't like eggs. Egg whites are the perfect diet food -- tons of protein and vitamins but so few calories. You don't like them scrambled or in an egg salad? :*(

    Next up on my list of ideas is salsa chicken over a salad w/ beans. (chicken breasts plus jar of salsa plus crockpot on low for 8-10 hours)
