Before I do this, any last words or advice??

Ok, THIS IS THE DAY !!!! I discovered when I got on the scales, that I didn't gain as much as I thought, so that encouraged me to try to lose about 30 pounds before Debi's wedding! I'm 165 now. I don't like to cook. Send your low cal quick cook ideas for food, my way, please. I'm diabetic, and am limited on carbs and protein.Thanks ladies!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mary MOB

Hi mary

Try looking on www.hungry-girl.com for some recipe ideas.

Most of her stuff is low fat, you can search around and find some low-carb stuff too.

Good luck, you can do it!

If you belong to BJs, Costco or Sams Club get the Birds Eye bag of steam fresh veggies. You just put the bag in the microwave and it does everything for you!

My mom is diabetic too so I know how hard it is when trying to find stuff to eat!

I don't like to cook.

Unfortunately, cooking yourself is going to be the best way to truly control calories, sodium, fat, etc. There are tons of easy, flavorful recipes on the Web.

I got a George Foreman Grill, with removable plates. I'd like to grill salmon, and chicken , and perhaps veggies on it. Does anyone have a low cal simple recipe, for seasoning any of these things? I love dill flavoring. I also love the Houlihan's salmon. But I don't have a recipe for their seasoning. Thanks!! Mary MOB
