When I did the ripped in 30 program last year I barely lost any "weight" but I did keep a picture timeline, that told the whole story... it's posted on here somewhere...

I am allergic to bananas and have a green smoothie pretty much every day. I post quite a few smoothie recipes on my blog www.pickynikki.ca If you go now, I am hosting a giveaway for Chia seeds, and a couple other goodies, just leave a comment to enter.

I agree... without that buttery sugar flavour they are nothing to brag about... but if someone was being SUPER Strict, there is that option :)

You're SO sweet! Thanks!

Thanks for reminding me to use lettuce in wraps! I hate the amount of calories for the tortilla wraps when all I want is the filling!!

I like making kale chips... Place ripped up kale on a pan and bake at 400'F till crispy, put a little sea salt on it, and enjoy! It is SO good!! crunchy, and a great substitute for fries!

Yes, I made them in a mini donut pan. Recipe made 24 mini donuts. You could make them in a mini muffin pan and enter the amount of servings into MFP to get updated individual calorie count. I had a bit of left over mix when I made them, but counted it anyways... Topping count is total amount of topping mixed and set out,…

Thanks... I hope it doesn't disappoint! It is really easy, and ingredients can be subbed easily too!

You could check out mine... it is blog about trying to get healthy. I post recipes, exercise, and reviews of food products and what not on pretty much a daily basis, sometimes more than once a day. On the far right side I have a blogroll of blogs I like to visit and they are all healthy living ones. My post yesterday was a…

I have a bodybugg... but do not use it. I used to use it religiously, and I found it helped me challenge myself to work harder, and try and get more in before I went to bed every night. However the food logging software was not good! MFP is better! I find that the black band on my arm isn't attractive in the summer! So it…

That sounds great! I made Pumpkin Quinoa Pancakes this morning... They were perfect! like little baby pumpkin pies! Pumpkin Quinoa Pancakes by Picky Nikki, on Flickr Recipe is adapted from Quinoa 365... I changed the buttermilk, whole eggs to egg whites, brown sugar to raw turbinado, The serving shown including E.D. Smith…

Oooh.... that looks good! I forgot about figs on Pizza! now I am worried I wont have enough figs!

It is weird to hear gum chewing being described as a pack a day habit! lol

Sorry I have been busy, I forgot to weigh in last week! In the past week my weigh went as high as 184 :( It is back to 180.5, but I am fluctuating badly! Current Weight (178): Challenge Goal Weight (for Sept. 1st): Getting rid of plenty... trimming 16-20 6/9: **178** 6/16: 176 6/23: 180 6/30: 177.5 7/7: <<<mini goal weight…

Just to let everyone know, this post wasn't to knock Starbucks, as one can see from my photos I LOVE starbucks! My love handles on the other hand DO NOT! To my original recipe the light version I guess is lower since I had the wrong info, however eliminating the chia seeds it brings mine down to 198 cals. But I wouldn't…

I have been experimenting, actually wasted 3 cups of coconut flour and whole wheat to try and make a chocolate version... I am not sure how to get the ratios right to make it turn out. If you figure out something please share! :) If I can get my hands on some whole wheat pastry flour I am going to try that... reg whole…

Oops I got the info off of the regular, with lowfat with no whip!

I prefer the Silk brand almond milk, every time i buy Almond Breeze I end up dumping most out. I always buy original, but know a lot of people who prefer vanilla :)

I buy my sugar-free syrups from www.lowcarbgrocery.com (it is in Canada) or www.tweedandhickory.com However, I am sure that there are sites in the US that ship them. If you buy over a certain amount shipping is free for lots of sites. I usually buy my PB2 powder from there as well (lowcarbgrocery) to combine shipping. :)…

I mushed up about 30 raspberries :) That is what the calorie content is for :) Hope that helps.

Hey Charlie, It depends what you are looking for that protein shake to do... If you want just something high protein, to help with weightloss, go with a low calories protein powder... Stay away from things like Muscle Milk ect... as they are gainers, albeit tastier than some of the others ;) Aim for 90-120cal and about…

I use the scoops to make even baking, so serving sizes and calorie counts can be given...I have all three sizes. My julienne peeler makes me some pretty salads that are easy to eat. I use the soup strainer ladle to defat stocks and soups... I honestly love the idea of the stoneware I have a couple different ones, but since…

I accidently put a "t" instead of a "T" for the egg white measurement!! SORRY!! It is Tablespoons, not teasonspoons... oops!

Not a consultant, but use the products... well some :) I use the Oil Mister daily as it allows me to know what is in the oil, and avoids the chemicals in Pam...

Enell Sports Bras are the best.. no movement at all! I bought mine at www.sportsbras.ca It is located in Calgary, and they have tons of options. Sizing is weird though, it is 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, ect... make sure you do your measurements and you wont have a problem. I first head about them on Oprah, and bought one then, wow that…
