I used 2 different brands of protein powder. After workouts I use Nectar's whey protein isolate in my shakes. Typically that consists of a cup of frozen berries (fruit), lite yogurt cup (greek sometimes), 4oz of Vfusion light (any flavor), and a scoop of lemonade protein powder, sometimes I add kale or spinach. Then I make…

I am a night time grazer as well. I just brushed my teeth too. Lol!!!

That's great. You should be proud of yourself! Keep going you never know what you can do unless you try.

I think that is great that you want to help someone in this journey. Sometimes people need that extra push or they need someone to say to them what they already know gently and help motivate them. So I don't think you are wrong for wanting to help your friend, I actually think that it is commendable. Honestly, if someone…

I challenged my body and it didn't let me down today. I had a tough workout and feel good abour myself. I came home from the gym to find my husband on the treadmill! That makes me proud. I have motivated him.

I like my bfast on the go as well. I usually have a protein smoothie or yogurt and fruit or homemade protein bar. Hope this helps!

As the others have said do what works for you body. I currently eat 6 meals a day. I space out my calories through the meals. Breakfast Snack Lunch Snack Dinner Snack (optional) For me I use the most calories for dinner because I was a night time grazer. So I know I have to have a big salad and protein for dinner. I have…

I work out at PF and I like it. I came from an all ladies gym so at first it was adjustment working out with guys. But I am actually like it because I learn some different modalities fromthe guys. I also see my father and brothers while working out. It's not like the mega gyms. There is no lunking allowed. So guys are not…

I can relate to what you are feeling. But as many have posted here. We all have to start somewhere. This is your beginning. It's just a little insecurity and it's ok to feel that way. How you use it is the question. Make that you motivation to continue on your journey and work hard when you are there. Good luck! Think…

Ditto to the other posts. Take pics and measurements every month or every 10 lbs or so to keep yourself motivated. Continue pushing you will see the results!

I was a vegetarian for 9 years and now I only eat chicken breast, turkey and some seafood. So I too can go days without meat. I rely on legumes, nut butters like almond butter,and natural peanut butter. I like them on fruit like a banana or apples for snacks. I make homemade protein bars there are some great recipes on the…

Losing weight will help your PCOS symptoms. Your MD will probably prescribe Metformin and OCP ( birth conrtol pills) to help manage the symptoms as well. Metformin has aided in weight loss for some people and it is also used with Type II DM patients. The main worry with PCOS is fertility due to anovulation (irregular or…

There are a lot of great suggestions posted here already. Learn to eat a protein with every meal. If you already spacing your meals have protein at breakfast, midafternoon snack, lunch, midafternoon snack, dinner. Try to divide your total grams of protein throughout the day. Good luck.

I have had it. Rest is the best thing for it. If you want to continue burn calories focus on strength training right now not so much cardio. Best treatment methods: 1. Before getting out of bed in the morning stretch the fascia with a towel or resistance band. Take a towel/band/fabric and fold it in half and place it…

I eat a protein serving and maybe a carb like a piece of fruit.

This time around I am fat because of graduate (nursing) school.... I lost 75lbs and was so HAPPY. I met the man who I am currently married to got super comfortable with diet and exercise and next thing I know I have gained back 90lbs and became and emotional eater. Some people smoke...others drink...I EAT when stressed. So…

I made it through my workout this morning!

You honestly look like a different person! You have done an amazing job!

I can relate to how you feel. I think that you have to find healthy alternatives to the foods that you enjoy eating now. It seems that you may have some personal issues that are causing you to use food as an outlet and that's a problem. I do the same thing. We have to take that frustration and channel it in a better,…

That's awesome. Truly inspiring. :smile:
