About your Asian food question, I think sautéed spinach is very easy to make. Let me know what kind of food ideas you're looking for and I can respond back later via PM. Like types of foods you like. Also, it may be hard to describe the veggies in English Stick Out Tongue anyway, on iPod now, too hard to type. Will give you ideas later.

I eat less than 1000 calories a day so I know that the food works for me, but I'm not actively dieting, just maintaining

I'll take all the suggestions I can get. Big Grin We really need to add some variety to our diet. I do saute mustard greens on occasion, because my DH loves them. My DS likes spinach, so I saute that on occasion too. I try to avoid as much oil as possible though, even though I do use olive oil. I've been preparing stir fry chicken & chicken fried rice with cooking spray instead, but I've never tried that with leafy greens. With the Chinese food, I mostly eat the veggies &/or rice & my DH & 4-legged baby girl eat the chicken. We also eat a lot of salads. I'm still trying to lose, so I try to stay as far under 1000 as possible, w/o feeling like I'm starving. I've been eating Raisin Bran twice sometimes 3 times a day for what seems like forever. When my DH can't stand another salad, he eats junk & I eat more cereal. shake head I know it's not a healthy diet, but I'm taking supplements to help a bit. Since I can't exercise, that's pretty much my only option. Obviously, I desperately need suggestions. laugh out loud Thanks so much for helping me out. I really appreciate it. hug

ETA: We have adventurous palettes & will eat any type of food.

That's good! You can email them for price adjustment!

I haven't been cooking much, but I'm like kurpee - I don't count calories. I stopped exercising and feel fatter now, so I prob need to start again. I just try to not overeat as much when I'm dieting. I'm actually surprised at 1000 calories! I don't think I could survive on that little...!

I eat 3 times a day. I just make sure what I eat is low in calories. I don't allow myself to starve. In my experience, that makes you eventually eat more.

I'm PMing you.

Very Sexy demi bra [victoriassecret.com], 32DDD - It seemed like the cups on this were cut extremely small. I was spilling out the top. Most 32DDs I own have more coverage.
Dream Angels demi [victoriassecret.com], 32DDD and 34DDD - I have had many DA demis before and love them and when they extended the size range I had to try the new ones. The 32DDD was only slightly bigger than the DD. I had to try them on back to back to even see the difference. The 34DDD fit great, except the band was on the tightest hook and wouldn't take long to stretch out.
SLT halter babydoll [victoriassecret.com], M - I ordered this from MJR and really like it. For $6.99 I wouldn't have been devastated if it didn't fit (which I was expecting). I wish I would have gotten a S though, since the M was a little loose under the bust. It is really stretchy, so it would fit a wide variety of shapes and sizes.
Dream tees off-the-shoulder tunic [victoriassecret.com], S - This was just very awkward. When I first opened it I almost just threw it on the return pile without trying it on. It is asymmetrical, and the top part is just huge, even though it's mostly fitted at the waist and hips. The worst part was the neck wasn't wide enough for it to even be off the shoulder on just one side!
Dream tees cross-back tee [victoriassecret.com], S - This was huge and boxy, a very unflattering look on me, such a disappointment.
Gorgeous halter bikini top [victoriassecret.com], 34D - This was way too small. The push-up wasn't even any good because I felt like if I tied it tighter at the neck, all the seams would pop. It just felt very poorly made.

That sounds like an incredible trip. Which ship are you taking? A cruise to Bermuda is on our bucket list. I'd love to hear about your trip, when you return. Congrats to your parents. Hopefully, you all can do this again for their 50th. Smilie

Yes, I'm exited!! We leave in 13 days! bounce We're sailing with Royal Caribbean....the ship is called The Explorer of the Seas. I've never been to Bermuda....but I've heard great things. I haven't been on a cruise since I was 11 years old (I'm now almost 27.) So I'm looking forward to it....DH and I did a Sandals resort for our honeymoon which I LOVED, so now it's time to see how cruises compare!

Thanks for the reviews. I was considering that Dream tee cross-back, but was waiting for a review. I was afraid it might be boxy. I'm deleting it from my wishlist now.

You should be excited. nod You'll have a great time & probably become addicted to cruising like we are. Stick Out Tongue My nephew & his wife took a Caribbean cruise on a Royal Caribbean ship for their honeymoon. They loved it.

I haven't had much luck with linen either. Some brands wrinkle less than others, which is why I was wondering about VS. I'm not going to order them, unless I hear from someone who has. I have some linen clothes that I only wore once, due to them wrinkling so easily. Annoyed
I have several pairs of linen pants, mostly from VS, one pair of VS linen shorts, and linen tops. I find that linen mixed with another fabric wrinkles less than pure linen. However, I prefer pure linen. I have never come home with my linen pants wrinkled to the point wear I looked like I rolled out of bed. The shorts wrinkle in the front, but all shorts wrinkle in the front for me because they are so short.

PM sent! For me, I just eat a small bowl of veggies and a bite of rice. The bowl usually isn't even full. Maybe up to 3/4 full (pretty much the size of my fist) and then a full bowl of soup for dinner. Lunch is the same, sans soup.

Breakfast is a slice of bread with Nutella spread yummy
I snack on some almonds dipped in Nutella once in a while, or I'll have a chip or two as a snack. Sweets happen maybe once every other week or once every month.

Then I do the fruit throughout the day. But usually just after meals, but AT LEAST once a day.

No soda or juice unless it's a special reason. Just milk during meals and water all throughout the day.

I just wait for the days to pig out at all you can eat places!! laugh out loud Which is like a few times a year.

Veggies are good! They're all just water anyway and will pass right through you!
