    High protein snacks @willow00-
    I like a little Greek yogurt with my fruit-I think it helps. Also a serving of almonds or cashews adds to fruit’s satiety.

    An apple with 1-2 oz of Cabot 50% light cheddar. Great combo.

    There's so many protein snacks. What kind of stuff do you like? Adding Greek yogurt or cottage cheese is always good with fruit.

    A sandwich thin with two ounces turkey, slice of low fat cheese and mustard

    I had an amazing weekend, and a big part of that was all the hard work this winter on trying to get my bad leg as far along as I possibly could. No stopping from here, but this weekend was the litmus test on just how much progress it had (or possibly hadn't made), and I'm happy to report that it was no longer a major contributing factor to my riding abilities.

    That is all.

    I had a good day. Shopped in nashua, then dr appointment, then gym. Did my upper body circuit today. This thing is killer, it kicks my *kitten*. I love it though. Then 30 minutes of the arc trainer to finish it up. Making seared scallops and rice for dinner tonight.

    Hey girls!

    I hit my new low adult weight this morning after 2-3 weeks of fighting the same 2 pounds!!! I weighed this once ten years ago but because of stress not because I worked for it. And it didn't last long. I am so excited! 3 pounds from my original goal. 5 to next goal and then 2-5 for final one. Getting so close I can taste it! I am at the gym now waiting for the squat rack. Then cardio, going for a massage then errands and home to cook.

    Hope you all have a great Tuesday. Do something to work towards your goal today.

    Yay Melissa!!! When do you hear the results of your biopsy? That's scary!

    Hey lisa, you remember? That's sweet. I have a biopsy on Thursday, mom has lung biopsy 11 days later to see about second surgery for her. Hopefully mine is just abnormal cells. Went through this once before about 10 years ago. Hoping for same results. Fingers crossed.

    How is everyone doing so far this week? Big plans or goals for March?

    I can totally relate @angelacatheart !!!!! I lost 52 pounds from Aug 2016 to May 2017. I got down to 118 pounds and looked terrible, skinny fat is what they call it I think. Then life got stressful, I quit logging and I gained 15 back. Got back on track again in January and am determined to lose the last 8 pounds. If it takes months upon months, I am ok with that!!! I just want to look healthy this time :)

    oh lerd....the struggle is real. I'm in the 40+ club trying to loose a few pounds. I've decided it's mostly impossible. Feel free to add me. I could use any encouragement that isn't from Carnal Sanders.

    Totally doable - just get your mind straight!

    I don't even bother setting x weight lost in y time goals. I set logging goals, nutrition goals, fitness goals and try to remember that every right choice is better than getting fatter and sicker, no matter what the scale says.[/quote]
    I totally agree with you on this @concordancia !!!!
    It's not necessarily the weight I'm worried about, I just want to feel healthier and fit:)
