Thanks @PaleoInScotland! Goose fat...that might even be more difficult to find than the avocado oil for me. Sounds amazing though. Must be time for lunch!
-
Thanks! I'll try to hunt down some avocado oil - maybe I can find some through Amazon's prime pantry!
-
You're killing it! I'm inspired by the control you took of your life!
-
So inspiring!! You look awesome!
-
This is amazing! So much hard work here!!
-
Awesome kdz0444!! A tattoo is one of my goal-meeting treats too =D
-
Pork rinds!!

Awesome work @ejc784. It's always encouraging to see the scale drop when that's your goal. Flour tends not to be my friend either, but I couldn't bear the thought of giving up Asian noodle dishes...so now I use my spiralizer religiously! Thank you zucchini and squash. :smile: Cheers and good luck!
-
You look amazing!!! Those short shorts are a goal of mine too! :smiley:
-
@maddywarden ...your progress is mind-boggling. My goal is 50 lbs over the next 8 months, and you've just cemented in my mind that it is actually possible! You look fabulous - rock those skinnies girl!! <3
-
Right???? Everyone looks amazing!!! Edited to add...sorry for all the ??? and !!!.
-
Just some freshly cut pineapple and a smidge of the juice from the bottom of the Tupperware bowl. Amazingly sweet and lots of vitamin C!
-
@tiffanycompton33.....Great work! You look awesome! And amazing work to all my fellow shorties! Hopefully will be posting my "during" later this spring and my "after" sometime this fall. I guess that means I should take before pics...:(:(:(:(

OP, I know you said you don't like to eat it cold, but I discovered on accident that tuna mixed in with cottage cheese is yummy! It sounds kind of gross, but I love it. It's a protein bomb!
-
Cheezits are the bane of my existence...in the sense they become glued to the bottom of my shopping cart and can only be removed by the cashier and placed into a bag that goes home with me. And I actually prefer off-brand cheezits to the real thing. Weird!

Also...Byrdsong, you're a bit backwards with your set x rep scheme. Lifting heavy with few reps is more of a strength plan rather than a hypertrophy plan. If you lift lighter with more reps, you're looking for size - which is what bodybuilders are typically more concerned with. Just FYI!
-
That's funny, because I keep trying celery too, and BLEEEHHHGGG!
-
YES! I do a happy dance inside when I get to the gym on a Saturday around 1 PM and there is no one on the cardio machines and only two guys down in the weights. I go it alone, too. I do go to a yoga class once a week, but I stopped asking my friends to go with me because it's distracting. :|
-
Cottage cheese! If I have some I'll add a tbsp. of flax...if I'm low on protein, I'll toss in some tuna. NOM.
-
Nom, flax. I actually like its almost-weirdly-sweet flavor - I usually pour it on my salads and mix it into my cottage cheese. I also throw it into random dishes that I make for dinner, especially casseroles or when I'm breading something. It disappears into the dish!
-
Holy *kitten*. I am obsessed with spinach. YUM!
-
If your kids don't have any nut allergies, make a fun trail mix! You might not think of it as a traditional breakfast, but the fat, fiber, and protein in nuts plus the fast energy from m'n'ms and raisins/craisins is a great macro profile for an alert child. IMO.
-
Wooo hooo! That's awesome - keep up the hard work. It's worth it!
-
OMG avocado. I eat it plain, on sammiches, whip it up into a healthy guac and dip my chicken in it and/or use it as a salad dressing. Nom nom nom.
-
It's amazing what you can do with your mental strength! Our bodies can (usually) handle way more than we think. Hooray for NSV's!
-
Your stats sound almost just like mine! I'm almost 5'2, around 150lbs too. I'm dipping my toes into an exercise routine, but haven't established one yet, so I am trying to keep my calories below maintenance (around 1700 for me). So I'm currently set at 1400, striving for lower carbs, higher fat and protein. I think my…

Good for you Jen. Your family is beautiful btw. I've read that we shouldn't strive to change our bodies because we hate them, but because we LOVE them. =)
-
Gotta confess, I cried a little reading this. My brother and his wife just lost a baby last month, and I've seen how devastating it can be to a family. I'm sooo happy you guys have decided to keep trying! And through all that, you look amazing. Now you can focus on you and baby being healthy together. :)
-
You're looking fab, girl!

This! I don't have any medical information, but from personal experience, I have never noticed any negative side effects from my 5 yr old daughter having foods made with protein powder.
