Warmer Weather.....Diet Time.
 

Okay, since we barely had a Winter and Spring seems to be getting shoved out of the way by Summer.......it's time to shed some of the winter weight and try (at least) to lose a few pounds. :o

Anybody else trying to slim down? Seems I'm always trying to......:rolleyes:......but I'd love it if I could lose 15-20 pounds.

Usually when the warmer weather hits I'm all psyched up to eat lighter and leaner. Don't feel that way so much this year. :(

Maybe it's because I can't buy fresh produce as often as I'd like to. Not trying to make excuses but it's hard to eat fresh when you can only go to the grocery once a month!

Any suggestions? :)

YEAH! That's it! It's "winter weight"! I've got to remember that! :D

Isn't that the way it works? ;) All the extra weight that we're hiding under sweatshirts and sweaters seems to be much more noticeable in the light of Summer. :o

I think I'm just going to stock up on Lean Cuisine and WW frozen entrees and skip cooking altogether.

I've also started buying all natural no-sugar-added applesauce in the little individual serving cups and keeping them in the fridge. It's a cold snack that's low in calories and just like eating an apple without all the mess.

If you are eating frozen dinners, Healthy Choice (Top chef selections) aren't too bad. They are definitely better than WW. They have them at Wal Mart here for 2.50 and entree. They are on the small side. They are more expensive at the regular grocery store.

I think Healthy Choice is better, too, Barb. I believe they're lower in sodium. I'll look for those. Their Cafe Steamers are really good. :)

The Top chef one I had the other night was also a steamer.

I like (and need) these kinds of meals because they're portion controlled. Apparently what I think is a serving size and what is actually a serving size are two different things! :o

Well, I need to have a salad with them if it is for dinner or I am hungry one hour later.:o

I love the fruits and veggies we have during the Summer months. But I can't stock up on those. Whenever I get the chance to go to the store I get some but can't get much or they'll spoil.

I love watermelon and luckily it keeps longer than most produce. I just got a canteloupe the other day and it was so good.

I envy those who have a garden and the energy to keep up with it.

Kitty,

Count me in on trying to lose weight. Mostly by walking more. I really enjoy it. The trade off is limbs flying around at night when I try to relax to sleep. It's working though and I think those involuntary movements must burn calories, too.;)

If you can't get fresh produce, frozen fruit & veggies are almost as good and not too expensive and you can stock up on those.

I use Lean Cuisine as a sort of Meals on Wheels hot lunch for me when I am too tired to make a lunch. They say right on the front the amount of protein, fat and calories. As a vegetarian, I am always asking myself, "Where is the protein?"

Hey, the sun just came out! TILT!
