My nutritionist gave me some good recipes for snacks, they are all 200 calories mix-and match snacks: 1 low-fat nutri grain waffle or kashi waffle with 1 tbsp peanut butter topped with 1/2 banana and sugar free maple syrup. 1 slice of whole wheat bread with 1 oz reduced fat cfheese and 2-3 slices of tomato. toast in toaster oven. 1/2 cup part skim milk ricotta cheese mixed with 1 splenda (nutrasweet causes MS). Sprinkle with cinnamon and 1 tsp almonds. 2 oz whole wheat pita with 1 tbsp hummus. top an 8" whole wheat tortilla with 1/4 cup fat free refried beans, 1/4 cup shredded low fat cheese and 1 tbsp salsa. Microwave for 15-20 seconds and roll. 1 apple with 1tbsp peanut butter. 4 oz light yogurt topped with 1 tbsp chopped nuts 1 egg, 1oz reduced fat cheese on 1/2 oat bran english muffin. 1 cup strawberries or blueberries and 1/2 cup of low fat cottage cheese topped with 1 tsp sunflower seeds. Sweeten wtih splenda if desired. Dinner sometimes I have fish, green beans and 1/2 sweet potato or 3 oz of steak, 1/2 cup mashed potatos and a 1/2 cup veggies. I made the other night low fat egg plant parmigana. Instead of frying the eggplant I baked it and it was delicious. Made it using fat free ricotta cheese instead of using mozzarella cheese, it was interesting. I go out to eat somtimes and order a regular meal and take home leftovers. I have enough for 3 more meals. I eat chinese food. I do beef or chicken with pea pods ( no salt), brown rice and chicken teriyaki. I eat about 4 bites of each and again have leftovers. Or i'll order an appetizer if it is protein of some sort and have that as my meal or I just do a salad with chicken. I love Applebees grilled chicken salad or Unos chicken salad. Hope this helps some. Lisa J. in Mass

Wow Tanja...you are teenie tiny!! I hope you get the blood pressure stuff sorted out. Congrats on the marathon....what a great accomplishment. I did the Race for A Cure here in Phoenix this past weekend. It's a huge race for breast cancer. I only did the one mile family walk as my daughters, mother (who had just had surgery), and grandmother were walking as well. I would like to do the 3 day event next year...60 miles in 3 days. I'm going to start training and see if I'm ready in a year! Happy Anniversary! Shelly

You've done great Dennis....Congrats to you Not to mention all of the support you've given everyone on the boards..Thank you! A big hug back at ya!! Shelly
