She lost half of her body weight and kept it off!

So, I stumbled onto this blog this morning on Pinterest and this girl's story is AMAZING.

Andie Mitchell weighed 263lbs at age 20, and lost 135lbs (HALF OF HER BODY!).

She explains how she lost the weight and the unexpected issues she had after losing all the weight. I would have never thought that someone would have such a hard time after losing all of that weight, I would think that would be the best part.

She keeps a blog about food and life in general. Lots of recipes and interesting stories.

Check it out.... its awesome!

340 Calorie Chicken Parm!

This recipe is from "Eat This, Not This". A super awesome cookbook that gives lower calorie, lower fat versions of dishes you would get at restaurants. This recipe takes chicken parmesan (850 calories at Macaroni Grill) and turns it into 340 calorie amazingness!

The no details recipe: (go to the link for the full recipe)

• Heat oven to broil
• Dip thin chicken breasts in egg whites then in panko bread crumbs mixed with parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning.
• In a hot pan with a tablespoon or so of olive oil, add the breaded chicken and cook for about 4 minutes, until the cooked side is golden brown and beautiful!
• Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until both sides are cooked.
• Transfer cooked chicken to a baking dish, spoon enough spaghetti sauce to cover the top of each piece of chicken.
• Broil for 2-3 minutes.
• Add a slice of cheese to each chicken breast (I used provolone, but I think fresh mozzarella would be much better!
• Continue broiling until cheese just begins to bubble.

I served mine with green beans and salad...... ENJOY!
