5 oz greek yogurt 1 egg 1 scoop protein powder 1 tsp vanilla or almond extract scant 1/2 cup flour water Mix all ingredients together. Add water a little at a time until you reach pancake batter consistency. Cook in lightly greased pan on medium heat. I like to use the Dannon Light and Fit Greek flavored yogurts ;) And…

I mix one can of very well-drained (this is key!) tuna with an egg, 1 tsp of sriracha seasoning and 1 tsp of dried dill weed. I let the flavors gel for about an hour (not sure if that's really a thing or if it's all in my head :) ) then I form 2 patties and cook them over medium heat. Sometimes I top them with a bit of…

Usually around 8:30 :| DVR is my best friend :D

I'll almost always choose a workout over sleep. That may not work for everyone, but I feel so much better during the day (more energized) and sleep better at night if I've gotten a work out in. I've been getting up at 3am to hit the gym for over a year now. Before that I got up at 3:30am for nearly 3 years :# Internal…

Get up at 5-5:30 and get a work out in. You say it takes you a long time to fall asleep and that happens to me too, but usually only on days that I've not gotten a workout in. Maybe working out would make you fall asleep faster/sleep better. You'd get a work out in like you want, but sleep might also come easier and…

I've made these a few times. They're so good! The last couple times I made them I didn't stuff the mixture back in the avocado, I just baked it in a casserole type dish. Still so delicious! Here's the recipe: http://www.taylormadebytaylorbee.com/2013/05/spicy-chicken-spinach-tomato-stuffed.html

Oh, I hear ya on the fries! I swear I have a french fry disorder! And logging them...good grief. Easier to just give them up ;) Other foods I tend to avoid are pasta, rice (I just don't like them), potatoes, tortilla shells, creamer, nearly all dressings, sauces and condiments (I really dislike them anyway, with the…

Yes, all this ^^^. Plus I set one alarm. That's it. When it goes off, I hit OK and get up. I never hit snooze. Ever. I know that I have to get up! If I were to fall back asleep, who knows when I might wake up again and being late for work is definitely not an option.

The protein powder I use has just enough sweetness to it that, when baking, I can usually use it to replace up to three quarters of the flour and about half the sugar that the recipe calls for. I like to use it when I make zucchini muffins and chocolate chip cookies :)

Yes! Very obvious changes! It's so bizarre how we have such a hard time seeing it ourselves, but I can completely relate :) Keep up the great work and dedication!

May I ask what brand that was?

[/quote] How long have you been lifting? Did you do a program like SL 5x5?[/quote] I've been lifting for about 4 years. But it took me some time to figure out what I was doing and I started lifting heavy 3 years ago or so. It took about a year to lose the last 15lbs or so, but I was seeing changes and progress the entire…

You look amazing, WTG!!! [/quote] Thanks so much! It definitely takes hard work, but it's so worth it!

@AddieOverhaul Thank you! Lift heavy, you'll never regret it!!

I absolutely love this thread and finally feel confident enough to share my pics. Started out somewhere slightly north of 150. I don't have any pics of me at that weight. My stats: 36 years old, 5'4" or so. In my before pic I weigh right around 130 lbs and had lost 20ish pounds by changing my eating habits and…

I have to take my multi vitamin right before bed because it makes me feel naseous for hours. My doctor said it's not uncommon for the iron in multi vitamins to make you feel sick.

Yes, you can use a whole egg! That's how I make them and they are still awesome :drinker:

Congrats! You're gorgeous and your progress is great!

To my sister: "The price of gas starts with a 2 now!!" It's $2.99, but I haven't seen a 2 at the beginning of a gas price in I don't know how long! :drinker:

You ladies look amazing, gorgeous and happy! Great work!

WOW!! In-freakin-credible transformation! Awesome job :)

You look incredible! Not to mention happy and healthy! Great work and congrats on your success :flowerforyou:

I didn't read through all the replies, but there are several things that stand out to me... First, why would she change her marital status on FB after an arguement? Red flag number one! Second, why would she call the cops on you claiming you won't let her leave? Sounds more like she wanted to leave and needed a sure-fire…

For the record, you are super freakin' adorable! I agree with those who say start lifting, build a little muscle and then see what you think! Cheers! :drinker:

I do, but mostly because I have tons of coupons and if I see something in their cart that I have a duplicate coupon for I give it to them. :laugh:

You look great! Keep it up, girl! :drinker:
