My hubby and I live in northern CA and love hiking as well. Our goal is to do Mt. Kilimanjaro by the time we are 45. There is nothing like pushing yourself up trail or stopping for a PB&J by a creek with nothing but nature around you. I bet it is beautiful up there! We have Yosemite and Lake Tahoe around us so good hikes…

Crock-pot lasagna.. delicious!!. 1. Lean ground beef or turkey cooked 2. Jar Sauce (enough to cover) 3. Lowfat ricotta cheese (1 tub) 4. 1 egg mixed into ricotta and seasoning 5. Italian Seasoning, fresh basil, oregano 6. No-Bake Lasagna noodles (1 package) 7. Low-Fat mozzarella for topping and mixed into ricotta mixture…

I run 2-3 miles 3 days a week with occasional 4-6 on a weekend. That's why I thought 6 months is a safe goal

Love the Spartan Races!

Please add me anyone! My hubby and I are absolutely in love with this way of life and although we are still newer to the whole thing we can tell a difference in how we feel and are not hungry anymore.

My hubby and I both just started and already feel like new people. More energy and not starving. Feel like we are eating amazing things!

My hubby and I both started 3 days ago and feel amazing and not hungry! So far we are in love and have both noticed difference in energy.

I am 41 and married with 2 kids. Would love to join together with anyone on this thread as well! We can do this! I gave about 50-60 lbs to lose.

What calorie range? What exercise regimen and how often?

What exercise are you doing and how often? Calorie average!

Good to know as we have just logged their calorie count.

Really? It's heavy fish etc and if your kids are little they probably won't appreciate catfish , collard greens and grits....

So they have it for a family of 4 too. From what I can tell they are totally different recipes and geared to more family friendly. You also put in preferences. I don't like lamb so I opted out of that etc.

I like Nature's Best chocolate whey protein shakes. I drink one for lunch most days. 110 cal 22 protein 1 gm fat 1 gm sugar 2 gm carbs

Thank you so much! That makes sense!!!

Ok. I think that is the fundamental problem. What I am eating in day is the problem.

Can you explain further??!? That sounds really interesting

So I need to bulk up my lunches I think with more veggies and protein. I really like dinner and don't want to give it up. How long did it take to learn to eat less during day?

Weigh yourself and get it over with! Then keep going. You can do it.

The other thing is that according to mfp to lose 2 lbs a week I am to eat 1200 cal. I think this part of the problem. I am too hungry. I think maybe try 1500 for a couple of weeks and see what happens? I am walking or doing a class 3-5 days week.

I like the idea of crockpot meals . I need to make some of those. Maybe a 100 cal late afternoon snack would help the hungry/cranky feeling I get while making dinner. Do you guys think a protein or carb?

I don't eat snacks normally. Today had whole grain English muffin and 1 egg scrambled. Then a bag of popcorn for lunch with a whey protein shake. All of that was 380 calories because I knew I was making a 615 cal recipe for dinner but then came home and ate a bunch of crap while cooking. Does it mean that to lose weight…

You look amazing!! How many calories a day average ? Exercise regimen?
