yes :sad:

I've only ever used 2 brands- Designer Whey and Whey Factors. I used the Designer Whey white chocolate and sometimes mixed it with vanilla soymilk (very good). Other times I just used water and it was fine. Not as sweet but definitely tolerable. Whey Factors is an all natural brand and I currently have the double chocolate…

That is fantastic!! I've been denying myself a much needed work clothes shopping trip b/c I don't want to spend the money although all my pants are too big. Keep up the good work!!! :drinker: :flowerforyou:

Did you maybe sprain it? When I did my doc gave me a compression sleeve which works pretty well on the swelling. There are over the counter ones available that are thinner than braces. ****'s sporting goods has some braces- check online. Maybe try icing your ankle after your walks and taking an anti-inflammatory to see if…

I just calculated mine today. Everything is an estimate so it will not be exact. Scoobysworkshop.com counts your exercise based upon the time you spend (i.e. hours) vs. how many days you workout. Try using this calculator if you haven't already. Or, you can take the amount that each calculator gave you and just do an…

Bowtie pasta, basil pesto, fresh squeezed lemon juice. I sometimes top it with shredded parmesan, cherry tomatoes, green onions. You could throw in some chicken strips for protein. It's simple, quick and delicious.

I came in here thinking I was going to be a part of the bacon club...and that there would be pictures of bacon... alas I guess I'll get back to work....

I use my crock pot all the time. I recently tried a new concoction (recipe was for chicken but I really wanted pork loin instead) 1 or 2lb pork loin 6-10 oz of basil pesto (depending on weight of meat) 1-1.5 cup chicken broth (again, depending on meat) Rub the pork loin with the pesto, pour in the chicken broth (around not…

When I started lifting and noticed my body changing but my weight wasn't dropping as fast as I thought it should be when I stepped on the scale. I still weigh in and watch it b/c the loss is definitely a confidence boost, but I'm not relying solely on that number or caring as much about it... so long as it doesn't go up…

String cheese, asiago cheese and honey, yogurt, breakstone's cottage cheese doubles, pretzels with ranch (my new favorite snack), chips and salsa, peanut butter and banana, beef jerky, smoked sausage, lunchmeat.. endless possibilities :wink:

Finish Line also has some good performance socks under their brand. They have the arch support and they're great for wicking moisture. I went in on BOGO day and got quite a few pairs.

There's a lady at my husband's work that takes chocolate chip cookie dough, dumps brownie batter on top of it and tops it with a package or 2 of crumbled oreos and bakes it... it's so fn good... I keep having to talk myself out of making it

A few months ago I tried roasted chickpeas with sriracha and honey. The recipe had great reviews but it was terrible. To this day just the thought of chickpeas makes me want to puke :sick:

8.1 is a little better b/c you get the start button back, but I still hate it. I would rather have Windows 7 (haven't switched at home, but we use it at work)

I would definitely up your calories and get a food scale. I read that you had a few chunks of imitation crab meat... you could probably stand to have a whole heck of a lot more. When I first weighed that on my scale I was going well over the measuring cup serving size on the package, but I still wasn't hitting the grams.…

If you're burning 400-500 calories in exercise then you need to be eating those back, or at least half of them. Your net amount takes into account the calories you've burned- it subtracts them from what you've eaten for the day. If you are only eating 1500 and burning 300-500 then you're only netting 1000-1200 for the day.…

I'll continue to workout but I also indulge a little. If I go over by a few hundred calories b/c of some chocolate, I don't sweat it.. I've had many days like that and I figure those are days I'm eating at maintenance or close to it. Although sometimes I'll skip working out the first day or 2 during TOM but usually it's…

non-scale victory

10 wks today for me! :happy:

I will work standing up every so often (like right now). I walk around a lot, take my empty water bottle to the other end of the office to recycle it, desk push ups, walk in place if I don't have noisy heels. I'm in a general area with no door and close to our office door where clients walk through so I'm limited to much…

Eat what you want but stay at a calorie deficit. You can't exercise off a bad diet. Make sure you're eating back your exercise calories. Don't cut out an entire food group as this is not sustainable long term especially if it includes foods you enjoy. Fat is not your enemy- your body needs fat just as it needs carbs. Check…

I'm just the opposite. I LOVE Sabra and after trying it once I'll never go back to Athenos. I like the supremely spicy and the roasted pine nut. I could eat it with a spoon.

Edy's slow churned ice cream. It's ridiculously delicious and only 110 calories per 1/2 cup. I can usually fit 2-3 servings in at least 5 times a week. Caramel Delight is my favorite flavor at the moment.

2 mini snickers bars and a mini twix bar... I had a couple bites of a cupcake first, it was terrible and I still wanted chocolate

I would plan on more than just a protein bar to reach your daily calories especially if strength training is involved- you'll continue to burn calories even after you're finished working out. On your double workout nights try having 1-2 pieces of chicken or fish or other lean protein and a bunch of veggies, maybe some…

Is it a chain gym with a personal training service? If so and you paid for the services of one trainer perhaps you can speak to the personal training manager and see if there is someone else you can work with. I would also suggest using the abductor/adductor machine to build your inner/outer thigh muscles.

My staples are a bag of frozen chicken breasts, 1lb bag of rice or 1lb of quinoa, a variety of fresh veggies, a couple dozen eggs, cans of tuna, couple boxes of pasta and a few recipe sites (skinnytaste.com, allrecipes.com, cookinglight.com). I spend my down time on the weekends planning meals and if I know I'm going to be…

Huge fan... I don't know if I really have a favorite episode- I like them all and watch reruns almost nightly when they're on tv. But if I had to choose I think I'd say tan Stewie. Or the "ooo piece of candy" James Woods episode. Or the one where peter gets Chris a pet frog and when he tries to toss it out the window it…

I am. But not anything like you guys. Our city's police dept. is hiring... They won't notify applicants until after the 18th about what's going to be on the written exam but the physical and written exams are on June 14th. Figured I better start training for the physical part early :smile:

HAHA so very true. Although skinnytaste has a loaded baked potato soup that uses cauliflower... and it's actually one of my favorite soups now.. hubby, not so much. But with all the toppings I think it tastes just fine. Spaghetti squash will NEVER take the place of real pasta in my house. Ever. That's just terrible.
