Just bought one at Costco last week for $69... best price I have seen think sale ends today.

I also just added chia seeds and flax seeds to my oatmeal for a wonderful protein boost with a scoop of protein powder. Flax eggs are a popular egg free baking alternative you probably already know about being you are egg free, but I thought I would just mention. Also nutritional yeast, great addition to salads, oatmeal,…

Duck eggs are now also becoming more widely available. My girlfriend buys and uses them as she is allergic to eggs,

Lamb and duck are delicious too, adding to the other great meat suggestions. I can not eat nuts but all the seed family are great sources of protein and provide crunch, I substitute pumpkin seeds and pine nuts (they are a seed) for almonds in most recipes. Sesame seeds and sunflower seeds are great too. I bought a…

Me..3 Lns..0 Almost broke last night, just wanted to eat but was not hungry...knowing I was going to be accountable helped me refrain.

Starting late but love this idea...just did 2 walks with the dog today- 3 miles...yesterday weather not as nice so only a little over a mile. Sunday 2 miles. My dog is a wimp and refuses to get wet so will need to make an effort to get a mile in on rainy days.

Your welcome to look at my diary...Once reading these threads I realized I was eating too little calories and protein... When I upped my protein and calories I started losing weight. I work out almost everyday, tomorrow is spin day. I could not survive on your menu. My breakfast will be a rainbow smoothie- 1 cup egg…

I was diagnosed with tennis elbow. Bought tennis elbow brace I wear whenever arm/elbow arm are inflamed. So worth having checked out and diagnosed specifically. I waited too long! I did go to an orthopedist who specialized in shoulder to wrist. The relief and knowledge how to deal with has helped me continue working out…

I weigh every morning when I can.. I am constantly surprised?!?!? But helps me be motivated. Don't get me wrong I hate the dread before I step on the scale, I truly never have any idea where it will land. But an informed decision is an empowered decision for me. You need to do what is best for you...

WOW- Awesome - Very inspiring.

My favorite seasonally, are eggplant, zucchini, yellow squash, bellpeppers, tomatoes - made a wonderful ratatouilles. Also root veggies roasted, fennel, turnips, parsnips, beets, onions- make once a week, save both dishes in refrigerator and eat for lunch and breakfast with choice of protein.

I agree with seeing a doctor or orthopedist. Knowing what is wrong with your knee and so then you can deal with either healing or dealing with your problem.

Your salmon dinner sounds delicious.

I am the same height as you and as I was reading the general BMI charts and was wondering why I felt so pudgy at 123-129 though this should be normal.
