Here we go! My Defendor Cosplay. I'm posing with a random person dressed as He-Man.

Bump for great new ideas :)

Bump!

It helps me if I set myself a goal and time period. But be realistic though, make it something you really want to do/have. You could also start a challenge on MFP in a group or something, a sort of pact to stay on track.

Although I'm not on Phase 3 yet, my coachshared a recipe with me: Easy protein pancakes. 1 med. ripe banana 2 eggs Put in blender, cook in pan. Enjoy You can even freeze them and pop them in the toaster when you are in a hurry.

I ended up finding an army uniform store really close by and got a nice plastic military helmet for 25$. Now I'm just waiting on the "swat belt" from online. I'm risking not getting it in time, but It's a risk I'm willing to take! I'll post pics if I get the whole thing together :)

Sounds delicious and a great go-to-snack/ breakfast on the go. Does anyone know if it freezes well?

Drinking lots of water and dropping added liquid calories/sugars.

I'm sure that there can be a few recipes to adapt in here, but it's a good start.: http://www.mommysfabulousfinds.com/2013/09/easy-crock-pot-freezer-meals.html

Congratulations on your hard work and determination!

Bump! These sound great! Do you know if they freeze well?...if you actually get arround to freezing them that is.

It will be a food cheat only. And I'll prep myself to do the 5 packets intead of the meat the day after. Thanks for the great advise!

Hey everyone! New to the group here. I'm hoping to make myself a Defendor (female version) costume for Begining of May. Though not too sure where to find a WWII German Heltmet replica for cheap. Any suggestions?

Hey there! Might need your opinion on this one. Easter is coming! And this year my "in laws" have decided to go to restaurant for the usual Easter brunch. Since it's been a busy year for them, we (the kids) suggested something easy and something everyone coud enjoy. We voted on a Dim Sum Style Chinese food restaurant. I…

COngratulations on your hard work and determination! It musn't have been easy at times. You should be proud :)

I have family members and friends who are quick to point out "OH, winter hasn't been kind to you", "You are getting a bit round there" or even "Stopped going to the gym, eh?". But when I do shed those pounds over months a a time, by working hard and eating right, they are quick to assume that I might have an eating…

Congratulations on your success and determination :) 20lbs certainly is something to be proud of for yourself! Keep making healthy decisions and I'm sure you'll be having alot more happy days like this one.

For the first song of your workout, I recommend "Survival" from Muse. (The London Olympic theme song). It jsut get's you so inspired. :)

Congratulations for getting to Phase 3 and for all your hard work!

I got myself a fitbit one a couple of weeks back and I love it! It be worth getting even before you get to Phase 4, just so that you can compare :) The sleep mode too, is a big eye opener. It shows you how many times you wake up or are restless in a night. Overall, I'm not nearly sleeping enough. I hope that you gals can…

I'm really happy to hear fcbailey! Being surrounded by like minded people all day will definitely help you stay on track yourself :) Who knows, you might be able to touch many lives!

I hope that you've been feeling better? Self care is a hard thing but I guess making it habit is what people need to do more. Had you gone through all the Phases of IP when you stopped last summer?

A memoriam tattoo of a bird on my left shoulder blade. I'll definetly post a pic once I get it :)

Now that right there is powerful and very bad a** of you. I like it :)

I agree :) I like that you can "hide it".

Hey there! Although I'm not vegetarian or vegan, I will be trying to implement for tof into my diet and I aim for 4 cups of veggies a day. Add me if you want :)

You could always print out the past weeks of your food diary on here. And then compare to your undereating period. You need to maybe write her a letter and leave it with the print out. Though I agree with your father on simply learning the proportions. Or else, you'll just make yourself stressed when a food scale isn't…

My weight loss since mid januray has been about 23lbs so far with 10-15lbs to go. After that, I want to join a boxing gym (3x week + walks/runs) so I'll need to be very deligent when logging in my food and keeping on track. I'm always up to getting new IP Friends :) You can add me if you want.
