Hey Scout,

If you're going to Trader Joe's here is some good packaged deli meat:

Get the "Columbus" brand roast beef, maple smoked turkey and pastrami. They also have roasted chicken breast.

Those are very low in points and VERY tasty. I was shocked at how low the points are for something so delicious for 2 oz. of each. You won't be disappointed

For the Maple Turkey Breast it's only 1 point for 2 oz!

I also get their Pita Bread which is very good and also low in carbs. Half of the pita bread is 2 points.

At local grocery stores, I like to get the Special K bars. Only 2 points each. Try the chocolate pretzel and the strawberry bars. Great snack and satisfying when you're craving something sweet.

Good luck!

I suppose I could bake a bunch of chicken breasts for the week, but it's never as tasty as the kind you buy already roasted.

I'm feeling all hopeful because I lost 4 pounds in like just over a week or whenever I first posted in this thread, and I only have 9 to 15 pounds to go (I want to end up at 135-140).

Every time I check this thread, someone has lost a couple pounds. It's very inspiring. Also it's great to have somewhere to report on my progress, which let's face it, is TMI in real life. So thanks for listening/reading.

Hey Scorp, I just wrote down your suggestions and will take them with me to TJ's. (We are leaving soon; I just got back from the gym, had a good workout.) Thanks so much, this is helpful.

And I love canned peas. Why not pack one of those little cans, the kind with the pop-up lid, into my lunch?

Like I said earlier, the GF is going to Trader Joe's today and I'm tagging along (she invited me, which was a sweet gesture; she really doesn't like to share food shopping), to make sure my new food quirks are honored:

canned peas
baby carrots
canned pumpkin
snap peas
roast chicken

Thank you everyone!!!
Broccoli, cauliflower and spinach are great veggies too.....
And again, Waldenfarms.com has fat free, calorie free and sugar free
salad dressing, dips, BBQ sauce and a whole bunch of schtuff to include both caramel and chocolate syrups!
Take a look at thier webpage if TJ's does not have what you want....

Stepping in and joining the thread

I have never been a "healthy" eater, which I always blamed on the lack of having Fresh fruit and veggies available in my price range (when I lived in Indiana).. But that can no longer be the excuse now that I am in Florida!

Since I moved here in December, I have lost 43 pounds, but would like to lose another 43 before I hit where I want to be So, today I am taking a step in the right direction by adding some "peer pressure" on me, so that I stay on track! It helps that I have a supportive partner, who is also working on losing some weight too, but it is always great to have a group of friends cheering you on!

You can do it, Lazy Daze! If you already lost 43 pounds, you clearly know what you're doing. Slow and steady wins the race, they say. Build life habits around eating healthy and you won't roller coaster up and down with each new diet fad! But again, it sounds like you know all that—I'm really just reminding myself!

I'm getting lots of good tips for eating better, on this thread. I had a 15- to 20-pound loss goal, and I'm four pounds down now.

Hey Joe Schmooze, you are reminding me of something I love that I had forgotten about—veggie dipping!

I will check out Waldenfarms. I don't think they have them around here. Sounds like they have yummy dips and syrups. I would like the syrups on oatmeal.

Hey Scorp too, we just got back from Trader Joe's, and I got the Columbus smoked turkey cold cuts that I can make for lunch and also some cooked lemon chicken strips I can eat for dinner with brussel sprouts!

We're going out for dinner tonight and I'm bracing myself because I usually overeat in restaurants. But my partner is online right now and the kid wants pizza so I'm pushing for an Italian place that has a grilled chicken salad, which is often the case.

Everyone have a good dinner!!

I love WaldenFarm's stuff!

On another note, I am going to start making smoothies for breakfast. Any good recipes? I also want to find a sugar free/gluten free protein to add to it.
