Just my 2 cents....I've been juicing for almost three years now...yes...I said three years. I did a couple of 5 day reboot in the beginning, then just a green juice every day with real foods...just mostly fresh, organic and healthy foods. No processed foods. Continued my workouts and exercise. Some times added a few extra…

Okay Ladies...let's see who will take the bait....I am part of a group on mfp and have been for 12 weeks...problem for me is they are all younger than me...some by 15-20 yrs. I have kids this age..and frankly, they can't keep up. They are busy mom's with small kids and for whatever reason I don't feel challenged enough.…

^^^This...what I thought I was burning by logging in mfp...was way more than I was actually burning. We can all do the same 20 min on the elliptical even with the specific selections, but our bodies are so different and we burn calories at different rates. My Polar HRM is one of the best thing I have done. It shows my…

I totally relate...not 50, but 55....I've been here awhile, lost 45 pounds and got off all my medications..no more hbp, cholesterol, and keep arthritis under control and no longer borderline diabetic. Add me if you like.

You are definitely not alone....feel free to add me. I was taking 5 pills a day and on the verge of adding more, borderline diabetic....a few years ago. Since then, I've turned my life around, lost some weight before MFP and since joining...a total of 45 lbs and have been off all my meds for two years now. I feel soooo…

I use Joseph's Lavash flat bread...lightly spread olive oil and a variety of toppings and spices depending on what I feel like, spinach, mushrooms, olives, chicken, etc. I use just sprinkles of grated parmesan cheese and pizza cheeses...probably less than 1/4 cup per half slice. My husband wants this almost every night of…

Feel free to add me...I've been here awhile and try to show up daily...

Kale won't give much juice. That's about all you can get from it, but it's so good for you. My favorite juice is the Mean Green Juice...lots of ginger...

Switch to Himalayan pink salt instead of regular white table salt. It's much better for us and has minerals that our bodies need, whereas table salt can be harmful. Increase your magnesium and potassium intake to help counter and balance sodium in your body. Don't forget to drink enough water daily also. Try to limit or…

Green salad with lots of dark greens. I usually put out a 'salad bar' with avocado, olives, chick peas, green peas, tomatoes, purple onions, carrots, mushrooms, maybe tuna, diced chicken breast, a couple of cheeses, etc even strawberries, blue berries, pecans and feta cheese and a light Raspberry vinaigrette dressing…

^^^Totally agree... You can add me....I'm 54 female and was on 5 pills a day for high cholesterol, high blood pressure and arthritis. I've been working a healthier me for over 2 years and have successfully been off all my meds (under Dr.'s supervision) for 16 months now and have gone from size 16 to 10-12 now. It can be…

West Tennessee!

This^^I have the same juicer and love my green juice! I use a pink lady apple for a bit more sweetness! Have one every day...

This ^^^ and I use recipes that I find on line...Fat, sick and nearly Dead...but I always check accuracy and for the potassium levels..many, many recipes and foods in the mfp don't include them. I use them daily...

Ditto! West Tennessee...nope...not Memphis

You're off to a good start! Def some groups...bunches of good people!

This ^^^^ I use grapeseed oil or olive oil, minced garlic and sea salt....just until dark green and still crispy. I do the same with fresh asperagus...absolutely awesome!

This sounds awesome!! Thanks....

Ditto....

I use a protein powder every morning after the gym: Elite Gourmet Protein - Vanilla Cream mix it with water 1.2 - 1 cup frozen wild blueberries ground flax seed (Spectrum with berries) 1/8 avocado keeps me from getting too snacky hungry.
