Depends on the carbs. Also, if you are working out harder, you will need more carbs to help fuel your workouts. I try to keep my carbs at 30% of my total calorie intake. But on days when I workout harder I eat more simple carbs such as rice and potatoes, as recommended by my personal trainer and nutritionist several years…

Mine is open too. I eat mostly unprocessed foods.

I love it too Kelley! Did the same thing, joined cleaning eating challenges on Facebook before starting Shakeology. Love both things and use them together. Lost 4 lbs my first week!!

Too much hate here. I tried it. I loved it. You do your thing and I will do mine. I was just posting because the person asked for people who have TRIED IT opinions.

Excellent!!

I am eating less calories and I can't eat any less without shutting down my metabolism. I don't think I will gain the weight back if I stop, but I FEEL BETTER drinking it. Read my food and exercise diary for the last 2 months, especially the last month. Then tell me what I can do to change things.

If you can find all the multivitamins and herbal supplements in Shakeology for cheaper, let me know. Trust me, I didn't buy it without doing all the research. I used to work in the vitamin department of a health food store. I know my stuff.

Personally, I love it. I tried it for a week and found that I lost weight quickly, my skin was clearer and my hormones got back in balance. I also switched a clean eating diet at the time, so I didn't trust it was the Shakeology. So after my trial packs ended, I just continued what I was doing with the clean eating. My…

I typically have a protein shake in the mornings before I go to work. But when I have time, I enjoy eggs and really like eggs with avocado. Seems to fill me up well for the morning. I also have had oatmeal with yogurt and fruit.

Almond butter is pretty easy to make on your own, fresh, if you have a good food processor. You just process it longer than you would to make almond flour.

Broomfield here.

I have been absent the last 3 weeks because I hurt my back. It seriously set me back as far as exercise. Also, when I hurt I just want to eat comfort foods. However, I didn't do too much damage, happily, and now I am ready to get back on track for my goal. 6 lbs. to go before New Years. I know I can do it!!

I do the same thing with turkey and soup. We make some type of soup almost every weekend for the week, during the winter. Unfortunately, I am allergic to chicken! :ohwell:

I just had a conversation with a friend yesterday about food. She was moaning about not having time to cook. Neither do I, really. So I told her about this great thing I have been doing.... 3 string cheese, cheese sticks on a plate, in the microwave for 30 seconds, add some marinara sauce and presto - non-breaded cheese…

Walking, cause you have to start somewhere. My husband tried to get me running again (last time I ran I was 30 lbs. lighter than I am now). It hurt badly, both my ego AND my knees. Anyways, I started walking again. This is how I started the last time and even just a little bit of walking helps. There is no "enough" to…

Hadn't heard of Trutein. Where do you buy it at?

Very nice to have you on board kc0kiu!

So. I have gained a little weight over the last 4 months...it actually bounced all around...but consistently I am stuck at 169 apparently. Today I finally had to admit it and put it down as my weight on here. New goal for Memorial Day is 155, 14 lbs from where I am right now. I have a new plan and part of that means…

Wooohoo! More people!

The more buddies the better, I always say. I added you Megan and hope others will feel free to add me as well.

Week 1 numbers: Beginning Weight: 163 (03/26/12) Current Weight: 163 (04/02/12) Memorial Day Goal: 137 Ultimate Goal: 137 No change this week. I just joined this challenge last week knowing that I needed to get back on track. So, I am not surprised by my week 1 numbers. But, week 2 promises to be much better!!

I do the same thing...make my food diary available and such. I gave up corn and potatoes years ago. Both make me feel gross, just like anything made from wheat. Ditto, just let me know if you need a nudge. My plan come Monday is to get into the gym every day this week. Plus I hope to get in at least 15 miles of…

A month after Memorial Day I will see a group of people I only see once a year. Last year I weighed almost 200 lbs so I want them to all be like "Whoa, who are you?" when they see me again! Shock factor is soo much fun. :D

Plan: Morning weight lifting 5 days a week Run 15 miles a week, at least one of those should be 7 miles Attend spin class 2 times a week

Hello everyone. I started my journey last June at 197lbs. I lost 30 by December and want to lose the last 30 by June so this challenge is just what I need. Beginning Weight: 197 Current Weight: 163 Memorial Day Goal: 137 Ultimate Goal: 137

I would have to say anything with wheat flour....bread, cupcakes, bagels, etc. Bread is actually the one thing that when I eat it I can gain 2 lbs. immediately on the scale. I am usually pretty good about not eating it. But lately, it seems like I can't let it go again. I have been mostly wheat free for the last 7 years,…

Luckily, I have a friend who I spin with every Tuesday and Thursday. I told her about this group, so hopefully she joins soon. Also, since I am off another friend and I planned 2 very long runs for this week. Meeting her later today for a 7 mile run. Yikes!! I am having more trouble with the food part and the off days when…

This week I am on spring break. My mother-in-law is visiting and well we may not be eating our normal healthy stuff plus my workout routine (which hasn't been very routine lately anyway) is going to have issues.

Name is MIchelle and I live in Longmont. Always looking for more people to walk/run with. :D
