Thanks all! I am going to try to up my cottage cheese intake for sure. Nuts and nut butters are going to be another one more. And yes, I am not a strict vegetarian, but my family is :) Which means I have to eat out for meats and that is somethign I avoid! I enjoy home cooked food, and also enjoy vegetarian food, and feel…

Thanks....its a struggle it seems. Adding greek yogurt to each meal has helped tremendously. What do you think of whole wheat roti? It appears to have a good amount of protein. I'm a little surprised there aren't more of us on here because the food logs appear to have tons of Indian food on there. However, I noticed much…

yogurt with honey :)

Thanks for the messages. Glaziazisaur - how can I check if my body fat is subcutaneous or internal fat?

My trainer measured me using calipers. He basically tugged at fat in different areas of body (I don't remember all to be exact, but I think this seems to be a standard process, and I was told its quite accurate), and then put them in a calculator. I had a separate trainer measure me when I started and I was 35%. I do have…

I'm 5'8 (so an inch over the post, but thought I'll post anyway :smile: ) I was 167 a year ago, and now down to 135….I wish I had some good before and after pics. I wanted to congratulate all the lovely ladies on this board who have done so well. I was looking at the pics and must say, well done to everyone. I do feel much…

Try doubling up on your workouts for the next 2 weeks. Instead of working out once a day workout twice. For me, this works surprisingly well, but only if I plan meals ahead - you will be very hungry when you up your workouts, so make sure you know what extra items you eat, that will still help maintain a calorie deficit…

Hey thanks for the advice. Not to sound ignorant, what is cross fit? Is it a video?

thanks…how do I find this group? sorry I'm relatively new to this so still trying to navigate through

Hey there….I'm in the same boat…I think a lot of us are :) Here's one way I try to beat it. I make a daily salad with lentil sprouts, tomato, avocado, onions, and a little lime squeezed on top. When I want to eat out of boredom, I force myself to eat this - it tastes good, but it is very light, and I can't have that much.…

Thanks for the messages. I find it helpful to do long intense workouts at one time. Initially I was 165 and was able to drop to 141 in 6 months with real difficulty. Now I'm at a standstill. One think I've noticed helps is too push myself to do cardio after some weight or resistance training. Though it is initially…

Thanks for the response. I was surprised myself. Somebody suggested that perhaps this is the gym's way of "scaring" you into buying personal training. If it was, it definitely worked as I purchased multiple sessions. From what I can gather online, the caliper method for females measures fat folds in trice, iliac crest, and…
