Hey that's a great idea! I think it's Green Giant that has a wide variety of steamed veggies.

Way to go! :bigsmile: It's much easier when you have a partner to work out with and to help with the nutrition part as well. Let us know how it goes!!! We are all cheering for you and your wife :flowerforyou:

Wasabi is my favorite! What is tamari though?

I don't know if it's a low GI food but I eat oatmeal everyday for breakfast. (Kashi Go Lean All Natural Creamy Oatmeal). I often add blueberries or raspberries and a teaspoon of flaxseed oil. This keeps me feeling very satisfied until lunch. It was also a recommened breakfast in the Dr. Oz book on Oprah if you happen to…

Way to go! The good thing is that the 20 minutes you just did amps up your metabolism and the benefits actually last up to 24 hours!!!

Hey! You are not alone. I became an emotional eater a few years ago. My tricks are that I don't tell myself that I can't have what it is my emotions want me to grab (a Big Mac, chocolate shake, etc.) I just tell myself I have to eat something healthy first. By the time I do that I usually don't even want the other junk. I…

I took Alli for about three weeks. I did see moderate results. I didn't have any of the adverse effects unless I ate something obviously unhealthy and fatty. Even then it was no where near what some have described. I also had a friend who has IBS that took them and did not have adverse results. I stopped taking them…

What happens if you consistently go over your protein amount? I've noticed that I often go over the recommended amount. Anyone know? Thanks in advance :wink:

Last weeks weight was 143 This weeks weight is 144! Ugh! I really did workout and eat healthy but still went up a pound :sad: Hopefully next week will be better :ohwell:

Thanks for the advice everyone!!!

Yes, please let us know how it works for you!

Welcome! :flowerforyou: I hope you find the site helpful and can blast through your plateau! See you around the site.

I have the Slim in 6 series. I haven't followed it through for the whole 6 weeks but I have seen results from doing the workouts along with my other exercise. The goal is to do the program 6 days a week for 6 weeks increasing your level as you go. The good thing is that you start with one workout and then work your way up…

Good for you for quitting smoking. That is a MAJOR accomplishment!!!! I agree that small steps are best. I have a tendency to think I'm going to do everything at once but like you get frustrated if I do that b/c it's just too much.

In addition to the The Best Life website there is also a book by that Bob Greene wrote called The Best Life Diet. I have it but haven't started following it strictly yet. I think you have to pay to officially join the group on the website but you can do the same program with just the book. Good Luck! Let us know if you do…

I saw it and it was pretty inspirational!!!! I was especially touched by the man (I think his name is Chris) who started at over 700 pounds and had lost 150 lbs!!!!! The best part was that he was now the water aerobics instructor at his gym :bigsmile: I actually thought of him today as I headed off to work already dreading…

I did a new workout yesterday and I am S-O-R-E today! I don't want to get off of my routine but know that pushing too hard can result in injury. My question is, should I try and keep up my routine as planned for today, adjusting as necessary so as not to overdo it or skip today to let my body recover?

I'm adding this to the menu this week. Can't wait to try it!

This sounds delicious and I can't wait to try it! Where do you find oyster sauce at in the grocery store? I've never cooked with it before.

Thanks!

Not at the lipo stage!!! :wink:

No I never watch TV mnbarnum . Just kidding. Just curious if anyone has any suggestions. :flowerforyou:

I know exercise and water is best (and I'm doing that) but has anyone seen results with anything else?

Hello Everyone! I recently found myself mere mouse clicks away from buying an expensive anti-cellulite cream. Luckily buyers remorse set in before the purchase and I decided to do a bit more research. ISo please help!!!! Do you have a favorite anti-cellulite treatment that you've seen results with? Thanks in advance for…

I just found this recipe but haven't tried it yet. It sounds delicious though. If you try it, let me know how it is! Pacific Sizzle Salad Serves: 6 Tired of the same green leafy salad? INGREDIENTS 1 (11-oz.) can mandarin orange segments, chilled and drained 1 mango, peeled and cubed 1 medium avocado, peeled, pitted and…

Sounds delicious! I've been looking for a different protein to try other than chicken, turkey and salmon and this sounds like just the ticket. Thanks!

Another helpful tip is to get some resistance bands for some strength training. I recently read an article that said that resistance bands are actually better than dumbells. You can get a set of these that will have different intesity of resistance so you can move up as you go along. They store easily and don't take up…

Good luck!!! Keep us posted of your progress :wink:

I have used that brand of flour but not tried the pancake mix. Sounds good. Great idea to add the zest and substitute non fat milk!
