First, let me say "good for you!" for making the decision to take charge of your health - diabetes is nothing to mess around with! But I honestly think that your exercise plan is a bit ambitious at this point. Going from "sedentary" to doing two very intense workouts per day may be more than you're ready for. I would…

I have a very hard time getting enough protein myself. Some of my go-to foods are plain greek yogurt (23 g. per cup), lowfat cottage cheese (32 g. per cup), So Delicious Almond milk (5 g. per cup), eggs, egg whites, skinless boneless chicken breasts, low fat cheese sticks (6 g. per serving), almonds, fat free milk (8 g.…

So I'm trying to wrap my brain around this. Help me, please! 5'2" , 122 lbs., 50 yo female, struggling to drop my bf% - which was 29% in April as per caliper measurements done at my gym. I lift heavy (for me) 2-3x per week, some cardio, but not much, eat mostly clean, but can't seem to shed the "fluff". Can someone check…

Low sodium V8 and a Sargento reduced fat cheddar cheese stick- my go-to snack! Celery with peanut or almond butter, berries and cottage cheese, apple slices and almond butter, deviled eggs, red pepper strips with hummus. Yum!

I agree! If you already lift and lift heavy - skip Pump. Don't get me wrong, it's a good time, but for the time and effort, a heavy lifting routine will provide better results. Combat is a freaking blast and you burn a ton of calories and sweat your a## off! And, if you get yourself a pair of gloves, you'll feel like a…

Protein balls, sounds yummo - could you share the recipe?

I have a few favorites I like to alternate throughout the week: Green Smoothie (almond milk, spinach, greek yogurt, protein powder and frozen blueberries and/or banana); egg white omelet with spinach, sun-dried tomato and a wedge of Laughing Cow lite swiss; plain low fat greek yogurt with fresh blackberries, slivered…

thank you.

Thank you. Yes, I had read the write-up on setting calorie and macro targets and used the scooby website to do so. My results are in my original post. Still unsure what my actual intake should be tho - deficit of 15% or 20%? Can you comment on whether my macros will help me achieve my goal of losing body fat? As I said,…

YES! This^

Hands down, wine.

Wow! Thanks for all of your quick replies and great ideas! I'll be trying a few over the next week!

I am anemic as well, but can't tolerate taking iron supplements. I have started eating a serving of Total cereal with milk for breakfast. Total has 100% of daily value of Iron as well as many other minerals and vitamins. Not sure if it is absorbed as well as the iron supplement I was taking, but I don't have the side…

I'd rather be a pear than an apple! 5'2" 115 lbs. 34" bust 26" waist 38" hips With a great bra, I'm can be a perfect hourglass!

Figured it out!

Thank you - how do I view someone's public diary? Sorry - new to this...
