Weight-Loss
I absolutely love pancakes, but when I analyzed the recipe I realized that there were some things I could do to make them healthier, but still taste great. So I thought I would share my "low calorie" pancake, They are about 100cal/cake and if you replace the sugar with splenda sweetner you could drop another couple of calories from that.

Gasman's Famous 100cal Pancakes:

Dry:
1 cup flour
2 tbsp sugar
2 tsp baking powder
pinch salt

Wet:

1 cup skim milk
1 egg
2 tbsp unsweetened apple sauce


Whisk Dry ingredients together in a medium bowl.

Mix wet ingredients together, whisk until frothy and the apple sauce is mixed throughout. Add the wet to the dry and just mix untill everything is combined, do not overmix, the batter should be lumpy.

I use a nonstick electric frying pan, set at 315F, I do not use any oil or grease on the grill.

Use a 1/4cup measuring cup to portion out the pancakes, this recipe will make about 7 cakes

I will usually have 2 pancakes, with a few strawberries, blackberries, and two tablespoon of low calorie telephone pole syrup (aunt jemima).

This breakfast costs me about 300calories, and it's worth every calorie.

Yumm!

Oh yummy, I'll have to try that one next time. Thankfully he doesn't want to eat pancakes very often, so I don't have to deal with it a lot. But when that happens again, I'll have a recipe to try. Thanks!! :)
 
Weigh in tomorrow. I'm not holding out much hope - don't think I have lost anything. But it should be good next week after 4 kettlebell workouts. Did one today and its absolutely floored me. It hurts so good :D

I don't hold out TOO much hope for weigh-in tomorrow, however I do feel happy that I have kept to my caloric goals for a full week now. I think one day (my "freebie" day) I ate maybe 100 cals over. My exercise has been only OK, but I'm trying to give myself a break as I have contracted the horrible cold going around and it has settled right in my lungs. Even if I felt good enough to do it, I don't think it would be a good idea to exercise until I'm back to health. Got sent home from work today by my coworker as all I can currently muster for a voice is a sad whispery squeak!

I am grateful that I have a place to hold me accountable, though!!
 
I think you will do great even if you are sick. you kept to your calories and you worked out the best you could. even if it wasnt your best best week it still sounds like you will get results.

good luck to everyone romorrow
 
I may be out tomorrow so I'm posting my journal a few hours early:

Weekly Tip
Stay active and fill your week with interesting things to do. Get a hobby or go back to doing an activity that you may have found fullfilling in the past but you no longer do. The more active you are, the more happy you are, and the easier it is to keep your mind focused on living healthy.


Weekly Warning
Don't try to diet on your own. Include family and friends on some level, the least being you communicating to them that you have an objective to be healthy, and the most being you getting some of them motivated to getting healthy as well.

Weekly Tip: Drink a glass of water the second you wake up in the morning. It hydrates you from a long night of sleep and no water and wakes you up a little bit more in the morning.

Weekly warning: Don't just give up if you end up having a bad day with bad food. Just brush yourself off and start again. It's too easy to just give up. Accept that it will happen from time to time.

Good going everyone!
 
Great loss, Dee! :hurray:

I am so looking forward to seeing how everyone did this week! I hope more people start updating soon.

I did good this week and lost just over one pound. But I'm thinking I'll show an even better loss next week, without my TOM to mess me up!

I know I'm going to enjoy reading about how much everybody else lost! Very inspiring!
 
Wow, It looks like everyone has done great this week!

I am going to Atlanta on vacation for five days tomorrow and I fear this will put a halt on my weight loss.

I don't plan on gaining any (atleast I hope I don't).

The hotel we are staying in seems to have a nice gym so I will be there atleast once a day, plus swimming in the pool. And we plan on doing a fair amount of walking there as well.

I would love to be on vacation and see a drop in weight, but we'll see...

Despite my lack of exercise, my eating changes look to have paid off!! Woohoo! I decided to add the decimal in because I couldn't just say I lost 1lb - had to clarify it was 1.7lbs. Definitely feel accomplished even though I'm still crazy sick. :p
