I actually just had my weigh-in at weigh****chers yesterday and was down 2 lbs from last week, so that's not too bad I guess. And that is actually the only reason I threw my scale away was because I started going back to weigh****chers and get weighed in there weekly. I didn't want to play battle of the scales anymore lol....but you are so right it definitely keeps you accountable and the weight will creep right up if you're not careful. I'm actually a little excited today because I'm supposed to be getting a new stove this afternoon, and I have not been able to use my oven in about 2 months. There are so many recipes I have wanted to try out and just haven't been able to. Weigh****chers is definitely a great program though, I lost 10 lbs last time I was on it so I think I could have good results if I stick with it longer. Hope everyone has a great weekend!! :)

The kitchen is on our to do list. My wife is getting frisky in her 2nd trimester.
OH WAIT, you are talking about FOOD. My bad :-)
Actually pumpkin quinoa comes from a different site. I cook it and put it in 4 containers in the fride. I use a little sweetleaf instead of brown sugar...Splenda works as well and I do not use the pecans or cranberries. I add a tiny box of raisins and 3 halves of walnuts to mine when I warm it . Also when I warm it up I add water to it to make it more like runny oatmeal (just my preference):
Pumpkin Quinoa Breakfast
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup water
- 1 cup rinsed quinoa
- 1/3 cup pumpkin
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/8 teaspoon ground ginger
- Pinch of ground cloves
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/3 cup chopped pecans
- 1/4 cup dried cranberries
Directions:
Combine milk, water and quinoa in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and simmer 15 minutes or until most of the liquid is absorbed. Turn off heat; let stand covered 5 minutes. Stir in pumpkin, spices, and brown sugar. Transfer to four bowls and top with pecans and dried cranberries. Serve warm.
