Thanks....I found a nutritionist that put me on the right path...I never struggled with weight,but my diet was horrible!!!!! My meal plan right now is not that strict at all and I feel invincible!!!! Just knowing what to eat together and when to eat it has simplified my life and helped me reach my goal to not be on any bp…

bump to show my hubby

2blean~ I would love to share my meal plan, but have to ask what your daily caloric intake is presently...she gave me two plans to go off of - to zigzag so to speak.....and it wasn't so much a "weight loss" plan, but, start putting healty food in your mouth plan and learning to pair the right foods together as well.…

Thanks for the input....I watched several of her videos on you tube and liked what I saw...I am hoping that this will help with becoming bored with my current dvds....can I assume that the workouts change from week to week...legs on wk 1 is different than legs on week 2??? Again, thanks for the info....

toasted english muffin with jif natural pb, sliced banana and a drizzle of honey.....a wonderful pre-workout snack.....full for hours!!! ya gotta try it!!!:wink:

Where's everyone at??? We have a holiday weekend coming up and curious how we are all doing??? Any updates on progress?? I had a great week with tood and exercise and am anxious to meet with the pt today to see what my bf% is....hoping that all this hard work has paid off. Definately needed to put it in gear....we are…

hmmm....if you are truely hungry, than you should eat something....what rowie was saying about a lean protein/carb will do wonders....I find that a banana and natural pb work well to curb any cravings. But, as far as keeping you from munching.....maybe good ole pushups, crunches, squats to get your heartrate up and and…

I struggle with nighttime eating as well...this is why I choose to go to the gym at this time...usually working out at 7:00 or so....it proves that I am truly not hungry, just bored wanting to eat during these times....are you sure that you are hungry or just bored???

Spence~ I know...we are looking forward to checking it out once cooler weather comes and we can no longer enjoy our outdoor exercise activities...I agree with you 100% about the diet...coming from someone who never gave a crap about what she ate since weight was never an issue, but since I have uped my protein and am…

I usually don't get done my workouts until 9 or 10:00 at night and come straight home and make myself a Muscle Milk cake batter protein shake.....

Great transformation Spence!! My hubby and I are looking into getting this program in the fall to get through the winter workout duldrum (sp?).....I see alot of info about p90x on this site and everyone seems very pleased!! I will be turning 40 soon and my goal is to be able to do 20 pull ups (I can only do 5 now:grumble:…

Hello there and welcome to MFP!!! You will find a wealth of encouragement and information here....I sympathize with where you are...I am 5' tall and 39 y/o and could always eat whatever I wanted and never went above 110 lbs....well the past year I hit a wall....I stopped exercise due to hbp and my body turned to…

hey folks...just checking in....how are we all doing? I have been right on target all week with food and gym, but, had pizza for lunch today. Oh well, I was planning on going to the gym tonight anyway - I will just have to kick it up a notch...not gonna let it bring me down. :wink: Hope you are all in the groove....the…

Just curious what you are using? MM has 32 g of protein and 12 gr of fat.....I have only tried 3 so far and they all seem to have similiar parameters.....the taste of MM keeps my loyal to it tho....it was originally added for me to supplement protein in my diet. Like I said, just curous what you may be using and the…

I got a free sample of Cookies and Creme Muscle Milk! I used half of it in my oat bran. HOLY MOTHER! But I wouldn't use it as a post-workout drink. Too much fat. I admit, I'm probably not nearly hardcore enough in my workouts for it to make THAT much of a difference, but I like having my "dessert shake" and my "workout…

I have a 18 yr old daughter and 12 yr old son.....in regards to my dd - grandchildren are ones reward for not eating their young!!! (no she is not pregnant nor do we have any grandchildren) We have very similiar personalities and can bite each others head off one day and be best friends the next.....such a rollercoaster…

Quick question....I am currently doing the arc trainer for 40 mins...been able to get to level 3 since beginning of March....just this week I started doing HIIT on it (every few mins I go as fast as I possibly can for various intervals) - would this apply to your body getting used to a machine/workout??? I have a bum knee…

I have been hooked on the Muscle Milk Cake Batter.....yum, yum, yum - my son even enjoys this after his kickboxing class!!! I just add water and ice and blend for a few secs and I am good to go....My friend makes her with a dallop of peanut butter in it as well. I have tried 2 other powders and they all had more of an…

bump:tongue:

My gosh...I have to ask....how long are you working out to burn 600 calories???? I am petite (5') and weigh 108 and it takes me 40 mins on the arc trainer on level 3 hill interval adding in HIIT throughout it and I only burn 350-400!!!! Man, I feel cheated!!!! I could probably go longer, but, I stength train for about 45…

Hello...I have recently modified my diet to add more protein as well - on days that I just don't get enough in I have a protein shake (I use Muscle Milk - Cake Batter - it is the tastiest that I have found yet) I also recently added the Greek yogurt, which has a boatload of protein in it.....other than that, I have a lean…

This sounds good....I did have a banana and pb before workout and I thought plenty of carbs with my breakfast choice - all in all, I had 5 pieces of whole wheat bread by 5 that afternoon....but, I am thinking that the water may have been the culprit....I did have my 24 ozs during the workout, but will aim to add much much…

bump...has anyone else experienced this?

Hello, This is the 2nd time that this has happened in the last 2 months....after a good workout at the gym - approx 45 mins strength training upper body and then 45 mins on the arc trainer I go to do my crunches and once I lay down on the mat, I smell this ammonia odor in my nose....I drank 24 oz of water during workout…

Hello all....hope you all had a great weekend....was pretty dreary here in southcentral pa - but, did end up going to the gym on Sunday for a kicker of a work out. Haven't stepped on the scale yet, but behaved myself for the most part - on Saturday took the family to a farmers market and while hubby had wings, a wrap and…

Good Morning Ladies!!! Well, wanted to check in once more....I got on the scale again today (usually only weigh myself once a week or every other week, but was curious about the "water rentention or extra fluids) since it was TOM yesterday - and yesterday was 109 and today was 108 lbs!!! Normally, there is a 2- 2 1/2 lb…

Ooohhh! A 5k....this is something on my wish list....I am aiming to try one next year (I will be 40!!)...that is a wonderful goal that you have set for yourself!!! I hope my strength training helps my bum knee and it will allow me to do it early next year. Keep us posted on your progress!!!! Is running your cardio or do…
