For breakfast you can try scrambled eggs with only egg whites which are higher in protein and have fewer calories; plain Greek yogurt with mashed banana, chopped strawberries and nuts; oatmeal with some fruit; fruit smoothie with unsweetened almond milk (or the milk or your choice. Unsweetened has fewer calories). For…

I love many parts, but still can't see them 'cause they are still covered in fat.

2 years ago when my then 7 year-old daughter got out of the school bus and said to me, feeling a bit embarrassed, "Mom, this kid in my bus said you have a big butt!". I had never really paid attention to what my butt looked like, until that day, and realized that it was not only embarrassing for me, but for my daughter…

Finding the exercises is not the hardest part. What is hard is to figure out is which muscle groups to work each day, frequency, weight, sets and reps.

Very helpful link. Thanks!

Wow! That's a whole new vocabulary!

Thanks!

Thanks! I don't really think I work my legs enough. I simply get too tired, or my legs get too weak after my walk, for me to feel like doing anything else. I walk early in the morning, and in the afternoon I don't really feel like exercising. I would probably have to walk less or even skip my walk in order to do lower body…

The ideal weight varies according to your body frame. A woman with a smaller frame will weight less than a woman with a larger frame, even if they have the same height. I'm 5'9 and have a large frame. The ideal weight for me would be between 149-170 lbs, while for a person of the same height, with a medium frame would be…

5'9 and a half. Large frame. Goal weight 170 lbs. Highest weight 249, and now down to 217. My first goal is to get under 200.

My mom's doctor told her that eating strawberries could help lower her cholesterol and she's been eating them daily ever since. Her cholesterol is no longer high. She also takes fish oil, but she's been taking those for years! What really made the difference were the strawberries.

Almost.

I don't like most fruits and veggies and have a hard time incorporating them into my diet, but I do it anyways. I eat the ones I hate the least. But I also have a 9 year-old daughter who is very picky. She will eat most fruits, but can't stand veggies. The way I've been adding the veggies into her diet is by hiding them in…

All of them! Specially Progressive (Flo), JG Wentworth, Aflac, Little Giant, FreeCreditReport, Geico, Orbit gum, Oxy Clean, Abilify Anti-Depressant, and the list goes on...

I can totally relate to that!

I'm laughing at some of these answers, specially because my husband is about 3 inches shorter than me. To make it even funnier, he is also much skinnier. I look huge standing next to him! Not to mention that I sometimes wear heels and he doesn't seem to mind it at all! I believe I only had one boyfriend that was actually…

I don't think you will be able to give the attention rather than gathering it with those pictures! You look awesome!

Just turned 30 last week. Still working on the hot part.

The ideal weight for your height depends on your body frame. Mine is large. I am 5'9" and can look skinny at 180 lbs, but my goal weight is 170 lbs. Body frame calculator: http://www.dietandfitnesstoday.com/bodyFrame.php

Not only you seem to be going over on carbs and low on protein, but you also seem to be going way over your sodium daily goal, which is already high. Salt does not cause your body to gain or lose fat, but excess sodium causes fluid retention which manifests itself in the form of excess weight.

^^^That Had four piercings on each ear lobe and one on cartilage or right ear, but do not wear them all anymore.

I do! I actually eat half a serving every day and I'm really okay with it!

And I had brownies and ice cream! :blushing: It was a very small piece of brownie (made for the family) but the ice cream I eat 1/2 serving almost every day. Try to find ice cream with lower calories and eat less of it. This way you won't be depriving yourself. I eat Breyer's Carb Smart chocolate ice cream (90 calories per…

Since I have nothing better to do...

Yay, chocolate! Thanks! Looks delicious!

I'm originally from Brazil so I can't help but say Brazilian! Brazilian food is very diverse and has influence from many countries, which pretty much means I could have almost any kind of food. Yumm! :bigsmile:
