I had someone the other day, who lost a lot after having their thyroid out, ask me how I did it, since she needs to firm up and has stalled, while stating" I can't exercise due to xyz, they can only walk." So I tell her about Walk away the pounds, but that is no good either, cause she doesn't like moving her arms around!…

Chicken breast is awesome for everyone! Make nuggets by processing fiber one cereal till extra fine, then bake at 350 for 20 mins.Mix greek yogurt with honey mustard for a healthier dipping sauce. If making anything with turkey or beef such as chili, sloppy joe, taco, etc take a can of beans and blend or process with a…

One thing a lot of people do not know about the NY side of the falls (an easy walk from the Canadian side which is nicer INHO) is that there are scenic trails to walk on small islands. You can also get a certificate from city hall, if that is your thing, not mine.

Niagara Falls, Canada. Driving distance, lots of fun things to do.

one trick I use is shredding my own with a small grater. It makes 1 ounce go so much further than a chunk or even pre-shredded. So much more flavor and spreading for the same calories. I also use 2% when I can, and sometimes laughing cow light wedges. Just portion and stay to an ounce!

You are very close to your goal. Assuming your goal is realistic, you should reduce your deficit. I would suggest gradually increasing your calories. I would find what your maintain calories will be at goal, and eat a few hundred under that. And since for 200 calories you can eat a crazy amount of veggies you should not be…

Just saw your last post. You need to search the forums for EM2WL and learn how to fuel your body. Added walking will not help if you are eating to little. Feed your body and walk and you will lose. I know it sounds insane, but trust me it is not!

Yes, I do them sometimes, and it is great to get moving. I like her fat burning, waistline, and hips/thigh ones the best personally. If you do them regularly you will improve your duration, just increase comfortably. As far as them "working" they do burn calories and are also good for cardiovascular healthy. You will lose…

I count everything, I can easily eat 100+ calories of veggies some days!

Never done it personally,I cannot stand the cold, but know people who have. Here in Delaware they use the ocean, have been for 22 years as a Special Olympics fundraiser.. Water temp is usually in the 50's.

You can grind nuts and use them as flour, or mix them with some regular flour for baking or pancakes. Chop small and add to salads.

upload them to a host, such as tinypic.com. Then copy/paste the code here, and change the [img][/img]

just wondering how long you baked this, and how it turned out.

Change your ticker and be honest to you. If you have true motivational friends they will understand. if you are worried just post on your wall. I they defriend you good, you need REAL friends anyway!

40 here, been at this for 10 months (8 on MFP). Feel free to add me if you wish, we all could always use more encouragement.

I log everything over 5 calories,so I skip spices, black coffee etc. I figure I would need 20 of them to make 100 calories, so I just lower my daily goal calorie goal by 100. I do not have time to add 1 mint or sprinkle of spice.

wow, some peep take beans WAY to seriously! And BTW, just cause I live in DE does not mean I am from Delaware, Dover is an air force town!

Chili without beans sounds like a meat sauce to me, just saying!

Thanks for the answers, I think I may use mixed.

OMG, that is just awful. I do not understand this warped world we live in. For me it is mushrooms. I just hate them, and they creep me out. I will not pick them out and then eat a dish, nope, skip the entire dish and go hungry!

Just bought the choc/ pb but have yet to open it. I have been using the Body Fortress Chocolate, and I cannot stand any flavor unless I mix it to a smoothie. I usually do 1 scoop to 1 cup unsweetened almond milk and pb2 or 1/2 banana or some coffee and 8 half moon ice cubes and blend away. I also have Pure Protein vanilla…

Thanks for the support :-). I am able to exercise, been doing cardiofit machine. Luckily I just cannot flex my right ankle while putting pressure in it or jump, so exercise will continue, just not 30 Day Shred right now.

I was thinking about that, but I think it might be better to just move on to other workouts, and then come January start it all again. If I wait to finish it I will keep trying and failing every few days. I am stubborn like that!

Like most others, I say Wii. We did not let me daughter have a game system until she was 10, but I wish we had gotten in sooner. I was in the mindset of the old atari where you sit on your butt and exercise your thumbs and we did not like that idea. Not so, wii is easy to catch onto and the games are really cheap. Wii…

We love these, chicken chimichangas type dinner. cook chicken any way, shred, mix with 1/5 cup saucehttp://player.swagbucks.com/free_videos/elle/jean_charles_de_castelbajac_spring_2013_readytowear_at_paris_fashion_week/436/214756/ cook rice in broth, use extra water depending of your rice preference mix rice, chicken,…

wow, that is only 8 lbs lost? You look awesome!

I eat at TDEE minus 20% and lose 1.8 lbs per week. Been doing this for over 4 months, mostly eating good foods with a few not so good.

Thanks all. lots of good ideas in here. Yes, $22 is a lot, but where I live there are no whole foods etc. Our one local health food store is very expensive, these were from The Vitamin Shop. The flakes are Kal brand and seeds are nutiva. I tried the Chia seeds in cottage cheese, but I soaked them as package said, and yuck.…

That is beyond awesome! Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the great ideas :happy:
