I also struggle to get enough protein..... I have been mixing a scoop of Whey powder in my morning coffee for over a year and it gives me 18 g of protein for 100 calories. I use Designer Whey French Vanilla - I get a 4lb container for about $40 and it lasts about 90 days. The trick is to find one that you think tastes…

I understand wanting to have some tunes, so when I bike or jog, I will wear one earbud only. It's very important to hear what is going on around you. My husband and I were on a shared trail and we came up on a gal jogging with headphones....she started to pass some people walking and she didn't hear us YELL our approach…

We have had several Fitbit's in our family. I started with the Ultra and it lasted me almost 2 years. I liked that it was discrete... I wore it on the center of my bra and no one even knows it's there. I upgraded to the One for the same reason. I wear a watch, so I didn't want anything else on my wrist. My mom started with…

These all sound wonderful! Regardless of the recipe I use.... I always add a can of pumpkin puree. It doesn't change the flavor at all, but adds a ton of good fiber and vitamins and makes it thicker unless you add more liquid.

Yep, I'm 43 and child free by CHOICE! My hubby and I have been together since our senior year of high school and married for 21 years. We were pretty lucky... our parents have never pressured us to have 'Grandkids'.

I have been using a fitbit for about 2 years now. I have the Ultra which is like the current 'One'. I like this style, because I can clip it to the center of my bra and no one even knows I have it on. I work at a computer all day and I don't really like stuff on my wrists, so the Flex or Force really aren't for me. It's…

Love this one! Crazy cat!

300 to 385 calories. If I do the Carb Check bagel, then my fiber is about 20.... if not fiber is only 3. I concentrate more on protein. I add a vanilla protein powder to my coffee each morning to bump up my protein intake.

I think goal weight is personal to you. I really don't care what the BMI says.... do you feel good, and do you feel the weight 'fits' your body. You may get to 175 and feel like you could go more. That is a personal decision. I'm 5' 9" and over 40....I'm shooting for 175. I think it's more realistic than the 160's for me.

I'm 5'9" and was disgusted with the scale this morning! Ugh!! I need to lose about 60. Really tired of my spare tire and my pants not fitting. :noway: I was a WW for YEARS.... decided to give that up due to the cost and I didn't really like the new Points Plus. Feel free to add me. :smile:

I just purchased the Venus Factor yesterday.... haven't had the time to read the whole program yet. I need to lose about 55 pounds and looking for a bit of structure as well. Has anyone else purchased the supplement they recommend?

I really like the Jack Links turkey jerky. It's high on protein & only 80 calories per ounce. I also keep protein bars and almonds at my desk for snacking.

I must be an odd duck,.... I bought three quest bars to try because a lot of people on MFP seem to enjoy them. The first one I tried was chocolate brownie. I couldn't finish it..... the texture and the chalky taste was awful! Threw about a 1/4 of it in the trash. Today, I tried a second one.... the peanut butter cup. Took…

Don't give UP! Record everything even if it's 'bad'. It's helpful to see what you are doing..... like my profile says 'Your body keeps an accurate journal, regardless of what you write down.' Today wasn't the greatest for me....it's super busy at work, so they brought in pizza. I made the choice to partake, so I will not…

I will be 43 this year.... and I need to lose 50 pounds. I refuse to starve myself with 1200 calories, so this may take me awhile. :wink: I work in Accounting, so this whole month with year end stuff is going to make it hard to make time to workout. :noway: Feel free to add me. Cheers :flowerforyou:

Don't be upset by the results you didn't get with the work you didn't do.

these all sound so good! - save for later :smile:

I always run with one bud in and the other one tucked around the strap of my bra. That way I have my music AND I can still hear what's going on around me... ie. the cheers :smile: Congrats on doing 13.1 on your Birthday. :flowerforyou:

I have a Polar FT7 with a watch that I use for indoor exercise... treadmill, elliptical, jazzercise, etc. I have a Zephyr HRM that syncs with Endomondo on my phone so I can track my heart rate and get mileage & speed from the GPS. I also have a Fitbit Ultra that I've been wearing for nearly a year now and I love it. I…

I'm 5' 9" and about 40 pounds away from goal weight so I don't have any success pictures yet. My sucess is improving my fitness.....running and finishing sprint triathlons. :smile:

I'm sure they aren't the most healthy thing you can eat.... they are still processed. However, I don't think they are the worst either. Personally, I love them and think it's great they have 10g of protein. :wink:

First time I ran a mile in less than 11 minutes. :tongue:

I'm 41, married, no kids... feel free to add me if you like :smile: No ink yet, but looking. :wink:

[/quote] Not to be rude, but are you sure the calorie and fat count for this is correct? One cup of regular coconut milk, unsweetened (I don't think I've ever had "sweetened" coconut milk), is 552 calories and 57g of fat. A half cup yields a drink that is 45 calories and 2.6g of fat? I don't buy that. Are you talking about…

saving for later - Thank you! :flowerforyou:

Yeah, I started 'running' right before I turned 40 last year. I was always the kid in gym class that did anything to skip going to the track to run in high school. :ohwell: Last year I did three sprint triathlons that were a 5K run and this year I have just been running on my own. I did my first 10K around our neighborhood…

Feel free to add me. I am also 41 and have about 35-40 pounds to lose. Need all the support we can get during the TRIPLE threat of holidays! Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas :devil: :flowerforyou:
