Not sure what your diet is, but I aim for protein first, veg second, carbs third. Eggs with yolks is high protein, turkey bacon, lower fat cottage cheese with a bit of fruit, an omelette with veg, spinach, broccoli, mushrooms, cheese in smaller doses also high protein and great for veg. Oatmeal with a tbsp or two of maple…

Got weighed today at the gym on a scale that separates out muscle, fat, bone weight, water. On the scale: I gained 1 lb. HOWEVER, it was because in 2 weeks I have swapped out 2% fat for 2.6% muscle!!!! My heartrate is better, I can now hit 171 on the highest setting, breathe very heavily and can sustain that for almost a…

I didn't realize you could post videos!

Never been able to journal...but I am a novelist and love fiction.

Marching was not easy, but I felt so strongly that even if I could only walk 2 blocks, that was good by me. My mother, who is 87, marched in Miami. She said they were shunted off into a tiny stadium near Biscayne. It became so packed that the Police wouldn't let anyone else in, so a large group marched out to I-95 and…

Hi Lea, My heart goes out to you. One of the wonderful influences of my childhood was my best friend's Mom, Shirley Haynes. One night we were discussing Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee, which I had been assigned in school. She said, "You may sympathize, but you will never feel it as a wound in your heart." She then told me…

THANKS EVERYONE for your thoughts on the March. It was a lot of fun, and I think maybe we even got a little notice from the politicians. We need to stand together for our common goals. We are all different. We vote differently on many things, but our concern for ourselves, our families, the ability to keep a roof over our…

Went on the Women's March in NYC today. Was 2 hours late for starting but did it! Slow start but was really happy with today. Happy Saturday everyone

MAJOR PAIN DAY Not going to do much of anything except throwing up and slowly stretching, taking pain meds. Just so you know: I was run over by a bus (yes) in 2004. Was on my bike, heading home from work. Had pushed off on the crosswalk at an angle and a bus ran the red light, slammed into me at an angle and my left pedal…

Great work.

Yes. There appears no reason for this blow back on calories. So, just going continue as I am, following my carb cycle diet. See to be doing well for me. Am into week 3 and my body is changing.

No...still working on getting down below 190

Hi! Feeling good. lost 2lbs. although NOW MVP has taken away 30 daily calories from me. Have no idea why.

All women have cellulite. How much and how early in life is usually genetics. What you can do it keep muscle tone by exercising regularly, tans, either by sun or chemicals help with Appearance, but doesn't solve it. Scrubs are said to help as is dry brushing. All of these can help. Bottom line? It's normal.

Alehurst, Jessiquoi-- Forbidden fruit, I've had this syndrome since I was at least 3 -- though my mother insists I developed it by 6 months, lol. Seriously, I had a nutritionist when I lived in Spain and I came in for my weigh-in and admitted that I'd had wine! Tapas! Bad, bad, bad! And he smiled and said, "You need to…

Good afternoon everyone. My trigger is almost always money stress. But sometimes, it's just...I've been adulting too long and I need to be bad. Anyone else have that? So, my beautiful behavior for the day: Climb 11 flights of stairs in my building (the weather is horrible) Turn on music and dance to at least three songs…

All I did was click on the star to the right of the group listing and suddenly the little bell icon was registering notifications. Good luck! Happy Tuesday!

Good Afternoon, Having a pain day here, have a rare form of fibromyalgia which comes and goes for no apparent reason. So beautiful behavior of the day: Move, breathe in and out, make myself a lavender, mint and eucalyptus epsom salt bath and admire my newly organized closets! Cath

Mindifi has a stop smoking hypnosis app which worked for me. I thinking was under $5 US.

Hi aleahurst, Almond milk is between 35 and 40 calories, unsweetened for and 8 ounce serving. It's a total deal.

Good morning from NYC! Beautiful sunny day here, temps will hit 40 degrees, so I will be out doing my "rotten hills" walk. My nabe is very hilly and the streets are sometimes on a 45 degree angle. So, my heavy cardio days are, walk up 2 blocks, down three, then over one and up three. My fitness watch records this as stair…

Love this group. Would love to join. Nicely positive.

That confused the heck out of me too. My Garmin would say 2998 calories burned, when I hadn't been to the gym but was running to errands and walked quite a bit. What the 2998 calories meant was ALL the calories burned during that day, digestion, respiration, your heart beating, etc. That usually adds up to 1600-1800…

No. This is what I was talking about: https://www.trxtraining.com/products/trx-home-gym

I have a yoga mat, a number of different hand weight and 3 resistance bands. You can look on youtube for videos which give you nice full body workouts. You can also find dvds either online or look in thrift shops. I like the Jane Fonda series, Crunch, and there are a number on youtube videos I follow. All of these can be…

If i don't feel like eating I don't. I find that the next day or the day after I'll have extra calories and my weekly average is pretty on target. I would only worry about it if you begin to go a week eating under 1k calories.

Tex-Mex food is great for this. Chili with beef and beans on rice with some grated cheddar cheese is a huge protein fix with carbs. Anything with beans and rice is a balanced protein/carb high calorie meal and you can combine it with eggs to super charge it. Sushi, if you love it, is a high calorie mix of protein/carb.…

Pilates floor exercises are great for strength and for forming muscle, which will boost your metabolism. Avoid the ones where you would put pressure on your right ankle (duh). Also, invest in strength bands which are cheap and you can fold them up when you aren't using them. They can be used for upper and lower body,…

Low sodium chicken soup or broth, half orange juice/half water, ginger ale or homemade ginger syrup in hot water or seltzer.

If you (can) only eat 2 slices of bacon 2x every week or so, I think you're still eating clean. Field Roast has breakfast link sausages with maple which are amazing, and meatless. Have you ever considered cooking with bacon? I add couple of slices fried up and then chopped as a garnish to soups, stews and pasta gives you…
