I mix in roma tomato, warm cubed chicken breast and avocado. Yummmy!

If you add a spoonful of chia seed to your smoothie it will help keep you full as well! Here is what I make for me and DH. water or carrot juice 3 cups spinach-fresh 2 cups frozen fruit (strawberries, mango, peach, pinnapple) 1/2 avocado 1 scoop chia seed 1 packet truvia This combo is sweet and packed with vitamins.

I do too!

Fantastic job! Your did what I want to do in the next 3 months. 170-140. Keep up the great work!

Love these!

Real butter here too. Margarine is so much different than it was 20 years ago. There is so much water in it now. My baking does not come out right. We don't use a lot of butter so we just use the real thing.......

Apples Eggs Fresh Spinach Carrots Frozen tropical fruit Laughing cow cheese cottage cheese tomatoes chicken I would say those are my staples. Green smoothie every morning lean proteins throughout the day.

No I don't. DH dips his carrots in peanut butter for filling protein. I like to play around with hummus or I like to melt a laughing cow cheese wedge on them for flavor.

It's a 20 hour drive but I've seen it twice! :) We are starting annual or bi-annual trips to HHI from Iowa with our kids. First time was last year but we fell in love with it! I so wish we lived closer so it wouldn't be so expensive/time consuming to get there every year.

Wow, job well done! You are an inspiration and look fantastic!

I think it is good that you have seeked a docter's advice and encourage you to go back if you are not satisfied or still worried. I started a very intense cardio program and for the first 1-2 weeks I would get painful headaches after about 5 minutes. I would never throw up but once had to stay in bed rest of the evening.…

I just joined the group so hope it's still relativly active. I'm starting to train for 5K again. I'm calibrating my Nike+ today and trying to find a good 5K training app that doens't cost a lot. I don't have GPS on my phone or itouch so don't need that feature.

I use 1/4-1/2 and leave the pit in the container. It may brown just a little after 4-5 days but not bad at all.

Right now my favorite lunch item is a high protein concoction. 1/2 cup 2% cottage cheese 2-3 oz cooked chicken breast diced and warmed or I also use canned tuna when I'm in a hurry 1/4-1/2 avocado cubed 1/2-1 whole roma tomato Mix it all together! It's 40+ grams of protein and typically around 300 cal depending on your…

This is me too. It's a good price!

I didn't want to pay for anything so I'm using 5K Runner Free app. It does what I expect. Chimes in when i need to run or walk over my playlist.

I bought the minimum to get me buy but will use buying new clothes as a reward.

I like to do a green smoothie with (spinach, carrot juice, mango, peach, pinneapple, apple, chia and some egg white for added protein) or steel cut oats that I make in rice cooker

I am too!

Thank you so much for posting this and especially the update! I used my new polar last night for the first time and it showed that I burned about 75 more calories than my treadmill. I was happy but sceptical that it was right as it seems most time people are finding that the HRM are showing less burn than what the machine…

Hi there and welcome! I am a fellow Iowan too! Live outside of Des Moines about 20 minutes. I will add you as a friend.

Iowan here too! Raised in NE Iowa but now living outside of Des Moines. Friend me!!

I have been averaging only 1-2 times per week. :(

High of 9F today!!

Oh thank you for responding!! It's soooo much $$ so I'm really apprehensive but don't want to ruin my new hand blender.... DH is going to freak out! I have some Christmas money so out of pocket would only be about $100. He is also worried that making smoothies every day will be costly with all the additional produce to…

Green smoothie and coffee. :)

Turkey taco's and green smoothie.

today for lunch I mixed 1/2-3/4 cup cottage cheese with 1/2 a cut up chicken breast, 1/2 a tomato and 1/4 of an avocado. Mixed it all together. It was a ton of protein and low calorie.

I prepare a lemon dill rice in rice cooker and steam the fish the last 10 minutes of cooking the rice and serve together. Lemon Dill Rice 1 cup long-grain Jasmine rice 1 3/4 cups water 1/2 teaspoon salt - Grated zest of 1 lemon 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1/2 teaspoon dried dill weed 1 teaspoon dried parsley, or 1 tablespoon…
