  • And my grocery list just grew! Sounds delish. Thx!
  • Is this to make a ship date? If not your recruiter wants to see commitment to losing weight or you're not worth their time. Keep pushing forward. Thanks for serving.
  • I'm on week 3 last day of rest! Love it too!
  • Howdy. I am using Dumbbells to recomp and following Jamie Eason's 12 week LiveFit program. It's free! I love her and just started trying some of her recipes that are now staples in my diet. I'm starting week 4 tomorrow. It's a great program and I do alternatives to any machine work. So far it's working just fine but as I…
  • We're very similar in stats. I'm 5'8 128-130 but not toned. I'm eating at maintenance (3 weeks so far) and doing Jamie Eason's 12 week program. She doesn't have a inner thigh targeted rather it's just an overall leg day. Since I do it at home and not a gym I add goblet squats with a 20lb like you or two 15lb Dumbbells. I…
  • Um...protein powder plus water.
  • Oh dear...I'm flattered coming from the food king!! Your dinner pics always look amazing. My site is... Onestrangeherd.com (comes from the original ice age movie) I haven't blogged in a month now because things I want to make don't fit in my plan! I'm gathering new ideas and plan to launch some soon. It's only 3 months old…
  • Your best bet would be searching Pinterest for healthy meals. All pics and you can tweak and get your own ideas. I'm not sharing pics but I love homemade turkey sloppy joes with or with a bun, grilled chicken salads, pork chops over lentils with Mediterranean flavors, Jamie Eason's Turkey muffins are my staple... I eat…
  • Omg I just bought that flavor for the first time and was going to have it today. Never thought to break it up with fruit! Thx!
  • Pork loin I'm assuming? Tacos, BBQ and pineapple quesadillas, open face pork sandwich with light gravy, shredded pork hoagies with peppers and onions, salad I have a food blog that I often phrase meals with double duty dinners. I'm always reinventing leftovers.
  • Thanks! I just bought a head of cauliflower just because so I'll use it to try these out!
  • You can still have your potatoes and rice but work them into your day. So if you want rice with dinner keep your carbs very low at breakfast with some eggs and veggies or Greek yogurt and 1 slice toast. Swap out your sandwiches for a wrap or something with less carbs and more fiber to fill you up. I eat about 1880 calories…
  • You're not alone. I've been posting a lot about this lately. I thought maybe it was too much fiber and not enough water or maybe dairy. I am at my best in the morning and fully bloated in the evening wanting to put on stretchy pants. My mom had lots of issues until she found out she has no tolerance for corn soy or any…

  • What was the easier way? What happens after phase 1? How long is phase 1? And why the desire to cut sugar and not just eat healthier and watch the processed stuff? I like to ask questions, can you tell?
  • I'm with ya ladies. I get very frustrated by it. I recently discovered I tend to get more fiber than I need according to MFP. While I feel like I've tried everything else from probiotics to drinking more water, I'm going to try and lower my fiber intake and see if that helps any. It's very frustrating when you know you…

  • Sounds like me...my dairy is pre-logged for the remainder of the week, workouts printed (doing Jamie Eason's plan, starting week 4), and a few treats worked in to enjoy life. I'm at a healthy weight now just trying to build muscle and see some fat loss and definition.
  • Welcome!
  • Why did he suggest that if you're already in a healthy weight range? I'm 5'8" 128-130. I still have fat to lose and muscle to gain so I'm doing a recomp right now following Jamie Eason's free 12 week LiveFit program and eating at TDEE. I eat about 1800 calories a day and don't do any cardio at the moment (per the first 4…
  • -trader joes spinach fontina chicken sausage (or any other good protein) -2oz sautéed kale with just a spray of coconut oil non stick -slivered almonds + craisins -roasted sweet potato and red onions -few splashes of red wine vinegar (my staple dressing)
  • I'm confused on this too. Does it just count the steps but doesn't calculate them into your TDEE?
  • Well my anniversary is coming up so I will just keep flashing my bare wrist!! Hahaha
  • First, yes you are exercising and that's great! However, if you continue to just keep the pace at a minimum your losing streak might come to a stall. You're eating at a deficit so that's why you're losing and watching what you eat is perhaps the most critical part! Going forward keep doing what you're doing but up the…
  • I couldn't find them on the computer either...

  • I find if my chicken is pounded rather thin it's not as bad as a thick once-juicy piece that requires a knife to cut through after reheating! I also prefer leftover grilled chicken vs oven baked. Or rotisserie. I've been eating meatloaf muffins made with ground chicken. They reheat beautifully and I enjoy them plain, with…
  • Trader joes quinoa black bean cowboy burger with two eggs and a small dollop of guacamole. Usually I have egg whites with a mix in of ham or veggies, steel cut oats with banana and cinnamon...I looove breakfast time!
  • Mints! I don't work out of the home anymore but having an altoid would kill my break room munchies. I recently discovered pop chips. I love the sweet potato flavor. Portion out your servings and have options!
  • Well naturally I would say yes because there's nothing good for you about coke. However enjoying one here and there like one would enjoy a beer, I see it no different than enjoying cake or ice cream occasionally. I'm not a pop drinker but sometimes love a mini coke... My husband can easily become addicted to Pepsi. He'll…

  • I personally love Quest vanilla. I use it on a regular basis to meet my protein goals and mix it with either water, almond milk or blend it with fruit which makes it thick and creamy. It smells like vanilla pudding mix and tastes like true vanilla! I've tried reserveage brand because it was all natural but it didn't keep…
  • Um, do you mean you want to know what the GI is of the foods you're eating now? There are tons of charts with GI info on the internet. Not sure I understand what you're after.
