I'm going to be the weirdo here...But I never take my ring off unless I absolutely have too. I wear it to the gym, when lifting, camping and even when I played roller derby it was always on my finger. And it is a diamond band with a 3 stone engagement ring too. Not out of some I'm not married unless I have it on thing, I…

You are the people I need in my life! I'm sending FR feel free to add me as well!

This doesn't really fix the taste but I find that things I have to drink that taste bad go down better through a straw. At least I can drink it WAY faster and not have as much of it on my tongue :happy: Maybe find some better tasting protein? I find that the chocolate is usually a good bet. If you go to GNC they have a…

bump....This is what I'm eating in a day and I'd love to get some new ideas! I tend to get in a food rut....

I have had both the lean shake and the lean 25 shakes. They taste great have a ton of fiber and make a great fast convenient, healthy meal alternative especially if you pair it with a piece of fruit. I like to either mix mine with coffee to make a frappachino that isn't a sugar or calorie bomb. I have also experimented…

Bumping... I'm ALWAYS looking for high protein recipes, those shakes get pretty boring :)

This post made my night!! I'm that rare fan who loves the Cowboys and the Packers , but my Boys are always #1!! I was the lucky girl who beat out all my husbands friends in fantasy football last year....I'm not sure that I'll be asked back again this year :)

Just because a person works for GNC doesn't mean that they don't care or have no knowledge of what they are talking about. My husband is a manger of one and he has a BS in exercise and also takes continuing ed every year to keep up his NCSC certification. In addition he never recommends things to people that they don't…

I make pancakes out of protein powder and they are AWESOME! 1.5 scoops protein powder 2 egg whites 1/4 c water ( the amount that you need will depend on the protein that you use, mine is pretty thick and sometimes I need more) LOTS of protein (46g) and low on calories ( PS. I use the Myofusion Probiotic Vanilla powder)

I have successfully made some muffins with powder too, that may take care of the strawberry....I will get the recipe and post. :smile: Gaspari Nutrition - Myofusion Probiotic Series - Vanilla, 8 scoop Egg - White Only - , 3 Great Value - All Natural Applesauce No Sugar Added , 1 Cup Realemon - Lemon Juice, 24 teaspoon Shur…

This brand is 32g per scoop. You can increase or decrease the powder/liquid to get the right consistency. For example I thought I was going to use 6 scoops of powder but the batter was too runny so I had to add more. Each brand has a different consistency and this one tends to be pretty thin when made as a shake. I have…

bump...Can't wait to try these!!!!:happy:

YUP....What he said!! One of the best gadgets EVER!!!!!

You should start weigh training yesterday :) It will only help you burn more calories and build a lean toned body vs a soft skinny one.

Bumping this to see more pictures. I recently started a heavy weight routine and don't have any pics to post but I LOVE to see women that have transformed themselves with weights and have a sculpted physique. That's what I'm aiming for!!!!

AMEN!!!!!! is all I have to say. We all get WAY to hung up on that number from time to time, even the ones that know better :happy:

I don't know any specifics. But I will tell you that with weight training I weigh about 10 lbs more than I did 6 months ago but I am roughly the same size. I'm working on getting smaller and lighter but I know that my previous goal of 130 is unrealistic if I want more muscle. BTY: I am 5'1" and weigh between 150-155 at the…

Have you tried freezing them? I read an article that said that it helped people because the pill unthawed in the the digestive tract helping eliminate things like that. I take a lot of fish oil and I don't have that problem so I've never done to tell you if if really works or not.

:laugh: You just made my whole day with that!!! Now when I get crabby at work I'll be thinking of this and laugh out loud, THANK YOU!!

I too did 30 DS then started RI30. I am on week 4 currently and I will say that it gets MUCH harder!! But I love it! I'm pretty active so I thought it would be a breeze after 30DS since I was doing all the advanced moves with heavier weights...Weeks 1&2 were fairly easy but still challenging weeks 3 & 4 have been HARD and…

I'm currently doing the ripped in 30 I'm technically on week 2 but I spent 2 1/2 weeks at week one due to illness and other things that kept me from really doing my best. I'm not sure how much I've lost (inches or otherwise) but I will say that I can tell that I'm getting more toned everywhere. In addition I don't just use…

I workout 6-7 day a week, currently I do Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30 5-6 days with 30-45 minutes of cardio on the elliptical and two days a week I have roller derby practice for 3 hours. I typically do the Jillan workout on derby days but not the extra cardio and I do try to have one day a week of rest but not always.

I'm doing the 30Ds right now and I like it. I haven't done any other Jillian workouts so I can't compare. I have progressed to level 3 and am on day 21. I feel a difference in my strength and can see ( I think!) more tone in my arms and stomach. Hope that helps!

Yes, other brands do have more protein. Actually that brand was my least favorite over all. My favorite is the Fage 0% plain, which I add some sugar free pudding mix and fruit to most of the time. Or I use it straight in the place of sour cream on things or in cooking. My other go to brands are the Dannon, and Athenos and…

I use 3 ,5 and sometimes 8 lb weights. Also you need a mat ( yoga type) if you don't have carpet where you are working out.

I'm doing this as well. I burn about 195-210 calories on level on for the entire workout. I will add that I don't follow the people on the tv I go much faster when I'm doing my cardio because I feel like they go too slow.... I'm 5'1 and currently at 150lbs , hope this helps!:smile:

I put a teaspoon or so of sugar free pudding powder with a packet of truvia for a little sweetness into half a cup of the plain non fat stuff...it is Awesome!! Then I add some chopped fruit to that as well for a well balanced snack under 150 calories. I have tried the lemon, white chocolate, cheesecake and the banana, I'll…

LOL!! This whole post MADE my morning!!! I've been stressing about my upcoming wedding and a laugh this morning was just the thing that I needed to start my day before work. Thanks guys!:laugh:

These are the BEST tasting protein shakes that I have ever had! I like the powder from better than the RTD because I like the texture a little more. I have added a scoop of Lean Shake to 1/2 cup greek yougart to make a pudding like snack with a ton of protein in any flavor. I have also taken 1 scoop each of the chocolate…

Hi everyone!! I'm a little late in joining the group but I don't get on my computer every day. Anyway I'm Raspberry Tart ans I'm with Mississippi Valley Mayhem in Lacrosse, WI. I was on a leave out last season after I got a massive black eye and needed to have engagement pics taken soon after. I will be getting married in…
