Mine is Silver and black and we use for things like Hummus and Guacamole

I only like the kind i get in Louisiana where they cook them with porkfat. Ive tried steaming and sautéing in olive oil and i just dont like them those ways

Honestly if you just got to your store and find Heinz ready made gravy in jars theyre only about 20 cals for a quartercup Serving and theres all different flavors

Heres my meal prep Breakfast Burritos protein Chili Thai basil chicken and rice

Homemade sausage 2lbs ground meat (pork, turkey or beef) 2 teaspoons dried sage 1 teaspoon ground black pepper 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional) 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram 1/2 cup of cold water Basically mix all the ingredients together, then weigh out 2 or 4oz of meat and form in to patties. (I use a cheap…

Wow, im blown away with your meal prep, i do mine every Sunday so if your in my neighborhood stop by and help lol

if youve eaten as much chicken as me you get so tired of it, so I use a light coating of shake and bake, theres a bunch of flavors and it helps tremendously and doesnt change much on my macros

remember fats are not the problem, carbs are, if you want to lose weight its the tortilla you want to lose, not the cheese

2 eggs cooked in spray oil 4 or 5 oz homemade sausage (turkey or pork) I did this to remove the vast amount of sodium in sausage 8oz Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk 62g of protein powder it seems you have a very high carb breakfast between the bread,cereal and orange juice i would say beware the orange juice expecially,…

always looking for friends who need help or encouragement

Yep its amazing the difference using a scale, for so long i was underestimating my calories before i got a scale

id say before you listen to Chlo, whose advice is the one to listen to, go to the gym with a plan, know exactly what your going to do, how many exercises, how many reps etc etc, figuring out the weight can only be done in the gym but start of light dont go there trying to be all macho or you'll fail or worse hurt yourself.…

So why is it any different than people coming on here asking or giving advice as most of us as you put it arent certified yet thousands of questions are asked in this community from diet to exercise. Plus i may not be certified but neither was Arnie or Lou Feringo and would you feel they were obnoxious if they came and…

Alright guys, thanks for your input. I guess i'll let them learn from their own mistakes and hope they dont hurt themselves

Im going to do about low carb high protein

Id say for me its routine, routine, routine. Bed at 9pm rise at 4am, before you know it youll be waking up before your alarm and feeling refreshed. Also keep doing what your doing by having everything ready before you go to bed. We all hate getting out of bed but just remember that the only person your persuading to stay…

Atkins, What do you mean no bread?

im in your boat, 42 years old and I started of at 295lbs/21 stone and hit the weights, lost 50 lbs so far but dont seem to be getting stronger anymore. Although everything ive learned in the gym ive done by myself so made lots of mistakes. so your an inspiration my friend

Add me if you wish, Im honest if anything. I wont give you the poor you and rub your belly for making stupid mistakes like gorging on pizza or being to lazy to workout. I'll tell you but I;ll support you in everyway possible

123 friends is damn site more than I have lol. but Id rather have 10 good friends on here than 100 fake friends

Elle, 15lbs is great, no your not going to see a dramatic change but slowly but surely they will come. I recommend not only that you weigh yourself but measure yourself all over also once a month. theyre you will see where the real numbers are changing

Add me Ellie, I love a challenge, I promise no WD40 jokes :)

EH.......... NO

So I changed my routine. More strength work and less but harder cardio. Still under my calories as always yet weight today was still exactly the same as last three weeks. So when does it go from a stall to a plateau ?

Whey protein Isolate is only bad for you if your Lactose Intolerant, but there are other kinds for those people. I wont go into it but here's an article from Bodybuilding.com. down below. By the way I recommend GNC's Extreme 60 or the stuff I use Optimum Nutrition 100% Gold Standard which you can buy also at GNC. remember…

lots of Water and Exercise. Staying under 1000 calories isnt so hard if you work out. I work out six days a week, I drink anywhere from 8 to 16 glasses of water a day (which helps with hunger) and I burn anywhere from 800 to 1300 calories working out but Im not starving myself and so far ive lost 45lbs in 5 months. Also…

I didnt cut anything out, but I go by portions now, I weight mostly everything and substantially increased my water intake and reduced my soda intake to a max of one a day. but I think diets fail when you deprive yourself of things that you enjoyed and substitutes just dont really work.
