Add me!

Team Carol: 8 points this week...protein is difficult for me! Ready for season finale but then...there's withdrawals...lol!

Ikr! No way!

Team Carol: 9 points this week

Team Carol: 10 points this week

Bp#2 Did this fb workout/series of moves 2 times this week. Low impact but still hiit.

Week 5: Bonus Point #1- My biggest struggle is also emotional/reactional eating, especially when I'm bored or anxious. To help overcome it, I question myself as to my motives when I want to reach for a snack...am I hungry or do I just lack something else to do at that moment... I've started doing some stretching or even…

Tell me more about your mac & cheese fake out! Is it reduced carb?

I use greek yogurt to replace cream cheese in recipes too...especially in dips. Baking with it is trickier! I use veggie noodles, cauliflower rice and often drop oil from recipes completely.

My " beet challenge" tip is to use non fat greek yogurt in place of sour cream and even cream cheese. I have others and most of you probably have heard this one already but it's something I do nearly every day!

Team Carol: 9 points I dropped the ball completely on my personal goals one day!

I do the same thing!

Met personal objectives : 7 BP's 1&2 complete : 2 BP 3: Did the fitness blender video from week one because I liked it better.: 1 Total: 10 points for Team Carol (Michonne)

I've had heart failure since I was 23. I'm now almost 42. I have to drop my bmi from it's, current 43 to 35 or lower to qualify for transplant. I've done one side or the other of the diet/exercise equation for years... Finally have both going together! I'm working with a nutritionist on getting more fiber while keeping my…

Met my goals 6 of 7 days this week and did BPC's 1, 2 & 3.... So 9 points for me for Team Carol!

BPC 1: " Orange Crush, Kit Kat & Mints" - I'm a cardiac patient and in addition to a low cal lifestyle, I'm low sodium ( less than 1800 mg/ day) and I have to be careful of foods containing lots of vitamin k ( leafy greens for example) because they counteract my necessary anticoagulant medications. My husband has similar…

Just posted my score for the week...10 points! Have a happy Sunday everyone!

Team Carol, 10 points.... B) ....proud of myself for doing the character (Michonne) challenge three times! Sore but proud...lol!

*Challenge 1: Be like Michonne and tell how I'll fit my habits into my life. My habit (in the making) is to be more intentionally active on my four non-gym days. To do that and keep it in balance with my family life, I'm setting aside 40 minutes in the afternoon/ evening (Tu,Th & Sa) for cardio and 20 minutes in the…

:D

Hi, I'm Andrea and I choose Michone. My goals for this challenge is to make it habitual to be more intentionally active on 3 of my 4 "non gym days", specifically to get in at least 30 minutes of cardio and 20 of strength training those days. That time aside from the strength and cardio I get from everyday kid and house…

Good job!

Yep..

I'm on anticoagulants so must be careful to be consistent with and take in less foods high in vitamin k. For a while I was very strict on maintaining low vitamin k, and my blood sugar and a1c went bananas! Now, I'm on higher doses of anticoagulants and eat more vitamin k. About 2 servings of green something daily...I still…

Hi. I'm Andrea, t2 diagnosis in 2000 following a diagnosis of congestive heart failure (secondary to pregnancy, also had gestational diabetes during that pregnancy) in 1997. I'm currently well controlled after making some major med adjustments following a heart surgery I had in August. My blood sugar went bananas following…

Me,me,me! :)

Commercial sauces are easy, many/most are in the database on the app already. Homemade sauces are a bit different. I enter them as a recipe, ingredient by ingredient, in the diary and save for future reference. It's a little tricky at first, especially if you're a "this & that" cook as I am. The habit of measuring and…

I have about 100 pounds that need gone but must lose about 60 to qualify for heart transplant...glad to help support and motivate each other!

Hi! Always happy to make new friends!
