1 serving of greek yogurt (your preferred flavor) 1/2 serving of cottage cheese 1 tbls of flax 1 tbls of granola (your preferred flavor) a splash of what ever milk you use ... blend and Voila! you have a power packed breakfast high in protein with lots of fiber! It's delicious! (I've used vanilla greek yogurt and bare…

I prefer poultry over beef and when buying the extra lean ground all white turkey breast it is healthier than beef. Beef is bad for the intestines. At least for mine. =)

The average is 100 calories per mile. IT's hard to calculate without a heart rate monitor if you have burned extra. I'd just go with what MFP says.

Great job!!! BTW, that first picture is hilarious! love the finger up the nose!

I wasn't able to do the figure competition over the summer because we moved from LV to TX. I'm back down to 13.8% body fat though and I'm ready to train for a competition. Who all is doing one this year?

Wowee!!! Look at you!! Congrats on your progress! You should be so very proud of yourself!

Thanks for all the tips! I appreciate you taking the time to respond. =)

I'm also 5'6" and 122 (I fluctuate btwn 122-124) and 17ish% bodyfat. I'm trying to get down to 15 % body fat and I'd like to fluctuate between 118 and 120 ... But Lately I've been focussing more on defining and building muscle and trying to get rid of a lit bit of fat. Well... these last few weeks I fell off the wagon with…

Thanks for the websites! I appreciate it! What do you mean by "The Colony?" My husband will be working in Allen and I think we are buying a house in Mckinney....

Yes... I like the EAS products although I don't eat the protein bars (most have peanuts or peanut powder and I'm allergic). I eat all natural Trio bars (3 nuts, 3 seeds, 3 fruits) for my snacks. I'm currently drinking muscle milk shakes (practically the same break down of protein, sugar, cals)

Weight training is important for increasing lean muscle mass. You can't get an accurate calorie burn (even with a HRM) but don't let that stop you... building lean muscle is crucial to reaching your fitness goals! PS.. this will help explain why it's difficult to get an accurate calorie burn.…

A protein shake made with water or non fat milk or a greek yogurt is a good thing to have after a workout... High in protein and keeps the metabolism going strong.

Ditto..... in my opinion, anything above and beyond is exercise, normal routine activities is just part of your life style.

great job!! you should be proud of yourself! YEAH!

I'm a teacher and I have to be at work at 7:15 am. So, I'm in the shower by 5:45 and out the door by 7:05. I work out right after school everyday at 2:40. During the summer I get to the gym or run at 6am outside. I prefer AM workouts because they are finished and out of the way.... plus it makes me feel healthier and full…

My friend was having the same problem so she checked in with me every day through texting to keep herself motivated to go to the gym when she first started out. Now it has become habit for her to get her workouts in with out having to be held accountable by me. She's lost almost 60 lbs since mid November and feels great!…

I agree! Consumer reports can make everything sound bad. I was contemplating going to an all natural protein shake when I decided to make the switch to eating all natural foods anyhow. I just feel that the fake ingredients are not something my body needs. I've been drinking muscle milk at 130 cals per serving and 26 g of…

Way to go! HIIT works wonders for me! I really like interval training! The ave is 100 calories per mile, give or take some depending on intensity, weight and your heart rate.

Running barefoot would ruin my pedicure! HA HA Just letting the girl in me come out! I'm glad you posted this! I've been curious as well about the Vibrams and Newtons! I am not sure I could run barefoot (I do like to have pretty feet) but I am interested in purchasing on of the shoes mentioned.

It doesn't affect your calorie burn as already stated. If you are sweating more make sure to drink more water as you could dehydrate more quickly (common sense I know, but had to say it).

great advice! When life gets hard,getting in a good workout always makes me feel better!

I drink 1-2 per day. I just found this interesting. I was thinking of switching to an all natural protein shake before reading this report only because we've gone all natural at home. I do agree that you shouldn't have too much of anything but now I've taken on the mindset that anything not all natural is not worth eating…

Happened to me too on Monday.. Pizza found it's way to my belly!! And so did soft serve ice cream and two pieces of chocolates that we bought in a little store in Zion. Mmmm..... Oh and so did spinach dip and french fries (thqt was on Sunday though). I gained a pound too!!! Flush your body with lots of water, eat super…

Yup! I eat them and I look forward to it!

I run 3 times a week (3-7 miles each time). I feel that more than that is too much for me. So I vary my workouts by weight training, doing cardio via spin class, kick boxing or machines and I have recently bought a road bicycle and started riding. Do what works best for you but listen to your body.

Thanks!!!

strawberries and light cool whip (you can mix in sugar free jello packet to change the flavor of the cool whip and if you use strawberry flavor it'll make the cool whip pink) any fruit with yogurt as a dip You'll be sweet on this vanilla and brown sugar-scented yogurt dip, and it's sure to help your family get their daily…

1. Don't compare yourself... Everyone started going to the gym for the same reason... to get healthy and get into shape. no one started out perfect. If you see someone with a great body watch what they do, how they workout and admire them for the determination and use them to set goals. 2. You will not look like a dummy.…
