Definitely start logging your fruits and veggies. They have calories, carbs, and sugars. Then, take a look at your net calories for the day. Are they over or under 1200? Try to get at least 1200 of net calories. I know every day is some times hard (for me I am under today but usually I am between 1200-1500 -- my calorie…

I make a protein shake either for breakfast and lunch most days. I buy Isopure Zero (No carbs, no sugars). It is whey protein and you get 50g of protein per 2 scoops (200 calories). I add Greek yogurt or plain non-fat yogurt plus fruit and sometimes cinnamon or Stevia to change the taste up. I also add peanut butter some…

Raw/natural nuts or seeds, organic trail mix (be aware of sugars and sodium), dried fruit, unsweetened applesauce, raw fruits (apples/oranges/bananas), tuna fish (can get in packets so you don't need a can opener), Protein bars, string cheese, low cal/lowsodium soups (some soups are in cartons instead of cans so it would…

You can do the same with apples too. Yummy! Thanks for the recipe. Best wishes! :flowerforyou:

Excellent idea. Thanks for sharing. Best wishes :flowerforyou:

Agreed! Great post!

Fat gets flushed out through your urine so that is definitely a good sign. Keep up the water intake eventhough you feel like a pee factory. LOL Best wishes :flowerforyou:

You look gorgeous, hun. Keep up the good work. :tongue:

Welcome! I was once a young Mom as well. I had my daughter at 17 and my son at 20. They are teens now but I would be happy to help support. Feel free to add me. Best wishes :flowerforyou:

Welcome to MFP! You will get great support here. Feel free to add me as a friend. Best wishes:flowerforyou:

Absolutely amazing! Congrats and thanks for sharing your success so we could celebrate with you.:smile:

Keep at it! Drink your water and keep exercising. Try to add in more raw fruits and vegetables to your diet to help your fiber in take as well. I'm sure you will look amazing for your dance. Best wishes :flowerforyou:

I started losing hair about 3-4 months after doing the HCG diet. I had lost 20 pounds in 30 days. I started using the Nioxin system (shampoo, conditiner, and spray) as well as taking Biotin supplements by mouth. New hair starting coming in about 14 days after use. But with that said, I would definitely still see a doctor…

Agreed! When my running shoes were getting worn I started getting shin splints (I was training for a1/2 marathon). As soon as I healed and got new shoes I never had the same problem. Best wishes:flowerforyou:

:flowerforyou: Welcome! This site is awesome. People are very positive and supportive. Feel free to add me as your friend. Best wishes!

Planks are a good way to strengthen your whole core. You might enjoy something like "Hip Hop Abs" from Team Beach Body. I haven't tried it but I have seen the ads. I am currently doing "Turbo Fire" and I did "Insanity" in the past and they are both from the same company.

It sounds like she is treating you "surface deep." If she doesn't love you unconditionally now, I'm afraid it won't happen. Do what is right for you and maybe you need to re-evaluate if staying with her is what is right for the both of you. Feel free to add me and I'll do my best to support you on your journey to a…

The setting for protein is low on this site. Here is a protein calculator you could use to see where you should be. http://www.healthcalculators.org/calculators/protein.asp Best wishes!:flowerforyou:

Coffee (beware of cream and sugar -- use skim milk and Splenda or Stevia/Truvia), herbal tea, unsweetened ice tea, Vitamin Water Zero . . . you could also have Crystal Light. If you have a juicer, you could make raw juices (apple, orange, grapefruit, etc.) and they would just count the same as fruit. I hope this helps!

It is perfectly fine to go over on your protein. Actually, the setting is fairly low on the auto setting. Welcome! Feel free to add me as your friend. Best wishes :flowerforyou:

ROFL . . . such my pet peeve!

Holy crap, girl! You look awesome! Keep up the good work.

It is a great way to detox your body. When your body loses fat, toxins that were trapped in the fat get released into the body. Gross, I know! But true! I try to get a massage or accupressure/reflexology at least once per month. I wish I could afford to go more often. Enjoy! :flowerforyou:

WOW! Amazing! Awesome! You go, girl! :flowerforyou:

I know, right? You would think that the "KING" size would be the fun size . . . well on second thought . . . maybe that would be too much fun to handle. Hee Hee!

I just started last Monday. It is hard but I already love it! Just do your best to keep up until you learn the moves. Be sure to take little breaks if you need them . . . but keep moving (march in place or walk around). We will do this together! Feel free to add me as your MFP friend. Best wishes! :flowerforyou:

You could also make "Lettuce wraps" using cabbage. Stuff the cabbage leaves with your favorite meat (You could use shredded chicken/fajita meat or taco meat, etc.)

You should be able to find something here: http://www.cheriestihler.com/CC/recipes.html Best wishes! :flowerforyou:
