I like to roast a pan of whatever veggies were on sale at the store (broccoli, onion, bell pepper, mushrooms, cauliflower, carrots etc) I eat them roasted with olive oil and spices but the leftovers I blend in my nutri-bullet and heat up as a soup! :) Sprinkle cheese or sour cream and green onions as a topping.

This depends on your health actually. If you don't need to avoid anything, just add an extra meal a day for a week and see what happens. More calories in than you burn?

Losing 100 pounds with Phit n Phat podcast! :)

Yes! What questions do you have? Are you going to be strict with the rules or do you need the "dirty" version? What are your goals?

The Ranch. Loved it!

Resources: The cure for chronic pain youtube and podcast is where it started for my pain. After 5 years of pain meds and then my first ever panic attack... I refused to live that life. So I found a way out. ALL FREE INFORMATION that is available to everyone.

Hello! I managed to ditch 30 years of chronic pain! Herniated discs, spinal stenosis and fibro.... the chronic pain is gone. Id love to chat with you guys! It seems I'm a month late to the party.... but here I am! ha ha

I'm late to the party... you three still around?

Air bar! Check out Kiya Knight's Airbar on facebook or youtube! You can do it with a broomstick ;)

I’m looking for new motivation too! Add me :)

I need keto supporters too! :) I’m 2 months in and fell off the wagon! I’m back on though. Friend me if you want.

I use frozen banana with chocolate protein powder and extra cocoa powder with almond milk and create a super thick chocolate "milkshake" which I eat as a meal.

This struggle is real! My suggestion is to slowly wean yourself down. Start by cutting the amount of creamer you use in half. And then add a little bit of milk or almond milk in place of it. A tablespoon of milk is only 10 calories. I still use creamer because I like my coffee light and sweet. But I use one tablespoon of…

Salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder red pepper flakes if you want it spicy. Keep it simple ;) Add any veggies you want and season them too.

Turkey, chicken, pork- doesn't matter really. You sometimes have to throw out "breakfast" in your mind because it usually means carbs-- oatmeal, toast, banana= carbs. Greek yogurt is a good protein source but watch the sugar. If you can eat it plain or with cinnamon or just a little bit of low sugar or no sugar jam it…

Fruit snacks are chewy, raisins too... but in reality if its that specific that you know exactly what you are craving... sometimes you just have to do it or you will not stop thinking about them.

I finally got a new office chair! Another positive for my spine!

coffee. I can live without it- but I don't want to! :)

Eat a little bit less, move a little bit more, and keep at it. You'll find what works as long as you don't give up! You are losing a little bit- which says you are on the right track! Keep going!

Cold laser. Maybe did too much too soon. The pain stayed around 6 all week. But if can feel more movement. Pain around 4 this morning. Down to a 3 after yoga and roller. Now to decide if the cold laser will be worth the pain or not-

Pain level 1!!! Holy smokes I can deal with this!!!!! My chiropractor is awesome!!!!! Followed up today by a massage and use of an mr4 cold laser treatment. I feel really good!!!! I needed a nap after treatment and drank over 12 glasses of water cause I was thirsty! Slept like a baby! Woke up feeling pretty good. A bit…

I skipped yoga yesterday. Pain up to 6 by dinner time. Not cool! Yoga and bio freeze this morning!

I've been doing yoga for my back/neck everyday for a week. Some are 10min twice was 30min (cause it felt great) One full week of added Vitamin D3 (said to help with pain, and needed cause I'm in a northern climate and don't see the sun) and 4 days of added fish oil and glucosamine/condritant. My pain for the last three…

What is Hellerworks? I googled it but only found rail transportation lol

Oh ok I gotcha! My pain is cervical/thoracic though, so a specialty clinic is usually needed. (Which I'd pay $1000 just to fly to Seattle followed by whatever my insurance won't cover. :(

I'm coppertop

Wow! Such amazing response so quickly!!! To complicate my issues- I live on a island with no "real" swimming pool, no real gym, questionable health care, and it's cold. I'm only waiting for my husband to retire so we can live somewhere with more sun and more options! - Inafog-- no hot tub, just a shallow bath tub and no I…

This all depends on what you like: You can add protein powder to almost anything if you need it. If you like thin consistency just use a few ice cubes. If you want milk shake consistency (Hard with a hurt jaw maybe) then use all frozen fruit (or a frozen banana). Today I had a scoop of chocolate protein powder, cocoa…

Top Ramen and boiled eggs? I have no idea if it fits what you are looking for - its high in sodium for sure but has protein and is cheap :)

Low fat cottage cheese is 90 cal and you could have a few raw veggies with it too.
