steel cut oats with cottage cheese and dried apricots - holds me to lunch.

Kettle bells. Check out Tracy Reifkind and her husband Mark Reifkind on YouTube

Tracy Reifkind for sure. Check out her YouTube channel.

Wonderful, thank you!

I've found I need more protein than is often recommended - especially for breakfast. My favorite proteins are: 1. Cottage cheese 2. chicken 3. beef 4. pork (lean) 5. eggs 6. salmon

Definitely Kettlebells - I LOVE them! I'm definitely a Tracy Reifkind groupie. I do at least 30 minutes 3-4 times a week. On the other days I do body-weight routines and once a week my husband and I take a pilates class at a nearby studio.

Hello! I'm Judy from the very soggy Washington, DC area! I'm 49 years old, the mother of two married daughters and two adorable grandsons (each daughter has one!) I've been married 30 years to my best friend and have a private practice doing Couples and Individual therapy. I've eaten healthy my entire adult life - but if…

I have heard that calcium is helpful. Also, welbutrin in now used to help.

I found this website extremely helpful: www.radiantrecovery.com

I find I need more protein that most people. Protein keeps me feeling full longer. I drink a lot of water and tea - very important if you're eating a lot of protein.

eww - eating it straight? I add it to smoothies, put it on top of popcorn and cook with it.

check out www.sugarfreemom.com. She has awesome recipes.

I read recently that today's pork is much leaner than in the past. I have no problem including pork loin in my diet - check the nutrition label.

Kettlebells will provide you with both cardio and strength. Look into Tracy Reifking - she has awesome videos on youtube. Also her book The Swing is perfect for an absolute beginner. She also has an awesome blog. Just FYI - I use a 12kg (26lb) bell and burn ~400 cal in 30 min!

I also highly recommend anything from Tracy Reifkind. She has fantastic videos - including the correct way to swing that she put out when The Swing was released.

It's actually spelled : kettlebells, not balls! common swich-up! Hopefully you can find it now.

I just started this week. It was recommended by a holistic medical doctor. He also suggests mixing it with raw honey. Raw honey (it should have bits of honey comb in the jar as well as the pollen) has been found to help with allergies - not sure about scientific studies. I ordered mine from iherb.com. Bought BRAGGS brand…

I've started using it in my smoothies. I am also trying to get away from artificial sweeteners. I found a liquid, alcohol free stevia that is working really well for me in coffee and ice tea. I make my smoothies with 1/2 frozen banana and frozen mixed fruit plus unsweetened whey protein power.

So jealous! I saw the pics on FB!

Welcome aboard!

I cannot bring TJ's cookie butter in the house - I have been known (only by me - and y'all now!) to eat an entire jar in one evening. I absolutely cannot control myself. It's my nemesis.

I order mine from nuts.com. They are a family run business with very reasonable prices. I buy mine in 5 lb bags. BTW - there's no need to buy organic - they cost a little more and chia isn't grown with pesticide since they are naturally resistant to going bad.

I was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2003. I had a double mastectomy with DIEP reconstruction - another type of flap surgery. I would suggest you see a physical therapist who specializes in women post mastectomy - you might be able to get your doctor refer you and your insurance should cover it. Did you have any lymph…

I agree, stay away from those 100 cal pack - you can make your own anyway! Here are my suggestions: 1 T organic, unsweetened peanut butter + 1 tablespoon raisins popcorn (take 2T unpopped kernels and put them in a paper lunch bag. fold over the top 2-3 times and put in microwave on high - It takes ~2 1/2 min in my…

"Maybe he has made it a campaign strategy but I really believe his thinking, along with many, many people has evolved. After all, he did over turn dadt.... and I personally think this could cost him the re-election. I wouldn't have a problem if, since marriage is a social contract, penalizing people when the contract is…

I'm currently working on the "training" phase of swinging my 16kg (35lbs) bell using Tracey Reifkinds progressions as presented in her fabulous book The Swing. But my favorite current workout is Tracey's BCBE(Burning the Candle at Both Ends) You can find it on YouTube. I do it with my 12kg bell and still need to take a…

Tracy Reifkind is amazing - she lost over 120 pounds doing just KB swings. Google her - she has a lot of you tube videos and a new book "The Swing."
