How "healthy" are those McDonald's fruit smoothies? So many companies market products as healthy just because they have fruit in them. I see a lot of people drinking them lately. If you drink them as your only source of breakfast then the calories and fat are low: 210 cal, 0....

My husband said to me last weekend while we were out shopping, "I need you to pull into a drive-through. I'm starving and I need a snack." (Lately he's been doing a lot of manual labor on the farm and gets shaky from hunger because he's burning so many calories). I, of course, inst...

Bummer. I gained half a pound yesterday when I weighed in at Jenny. I know exactly why, too. I didn't eat dinner until 8:30 the previous night because we were meeting with a new sitter and after work we met her to go over how she runs things. I had thought ahead and brought a...

You are supposed to be drinking 2 cups of milk per day if you're following my 1200 calorie diet. You can certainly mix it up if you don't really like milk very much. For example, the creamer in my coffee counts as one. The other one later in your day could be a 6 oz. yogurt if you'...
