Average daily menu: Post workout~ 1 scoop pure protein powder 8oz unsweetened vanilla almond milk Breakfast~ 2 eggs scrambled 1 1/2 cups tapinaki veggies with white sauce Lunch~ 3oz salad made with red leaf lettuces and baby…

I've been Mia for awhile, been busy sewing, I am determinded to get something listed in my Etsy shop before Christmas if it kills me!! Anyways, I have been staying away from the scale lately, I don't think I've checked my weight for 3 weeks? I started lifting as heavy as I can, so I know betwen water retention for muscle…

I don't suffer from migraines, but a friend dose. She has gotten them since we were in high school. Anyway, she has been taking magnesium for the last three or four monthes and hasn't had a single one. Here is the link, hope it can help someone else as much as it's helped her.…

I'm lucky that none of my daycare kids get here until about 8:30, so I have time in the morning after I take my daughter to school to fit in my workouts, if not then I would either have to get up early or wait til the daycare kids nap time (oh how I love nap time!). When I first started losing weight I only did cardio,…

Your not that late!! I'm 42 and have a 23, 12, 5, & 3 year old. Congrats on your weight loss so far!! Keep it up!

Sorry I've been MIA, I'll check in later today!

Happy Friday!! Here is my weigh-in SW: 152 CW: 129 again!! GW: 127 This is so FRUSTRATING!!!! I have been losing inches, but I would love to see a lower number on the scale, too.

Measurements give a more accurate picture of your weight loss than the scale. I haven't "lost" any weight in weeks, but I'm down in inches.

When I make a roast in the crock pot, all I add is the meat, veggies and a jar of horseradish. So GOOD!!!

If you haven't heard of skinnytaste.com, it is great! She has lots of great recipes!!!!

Morning Ladies, sorry I have been MIA, it's been a hectic week-end, and been playing catch-up ever since. The Hubby had to build 5 displays for one of his stores (he works for a liquor & wine distributor), and they had to be in the sttore monday morning. So he got home with the supplies around 5 Friday, we worked on them…

This sounds pretty good! I don't like many Hungry Girl recipes, she uses too many "fake fodds".

I found that as I increased the intensity of my workouts, I had to also increase my carbs. Although I still try to stay right around 100 grams a day. Good luck, hope you find what works for you.

Here is my recipe: PB&J Fruit Roll-up Sandwich 1 flour tortillas (7 inch) 1T peanut butter 1T jam or jelly 1/2 banana strawberries (we leave these out if they are not in season. not good with frozen) 2T low fat granola Spread peanut butter over half tortilla, top with jelly. Slice bananas and strawberries, place over PB&J.…

Hey it's Monday (grumble, grumble). So here is my recipe, it is very similar to Kara's, but this our favorite easy recipe: Salsa pot roast 1 top round roast (you can also use a pork roast or chicken breasts) 1 lg jar salsa Place in Crock pot cook on high 6 hours or on low 8 hours. When meat is cooked shred with fork. Done!…

bump for later

Mounds bar??? Now you have my attention!!

Glad I don't like candy corn!!!

Is it weird that I think the same way???

Vanity!!! I don't want to look like all the other frumpy fat mom's at my kids school!!

Again not a man but Tosca Reno didn't pick up her first dumd bell till she was 40, and look at her now!! Also check out bodybuilding.com, I read an article about lifting after 40. And your co-worker is an idiot!! I have definitely put on some muscle since I started lifting and (god I hate to admitt this) I'm over 40.

Just an FYI, as you get closer to your goals you will have to start adding back some of your exercise cals. When your weight loss stalls out try upping your cals to get it moving again. Good luck on your journey!

Great job on the weight loss!!! Just keep doing what your doing, it seems to be working.

Ready for my Saturday weigh-in....... and still at 129. I've been at the same weight for at least 5 weeks now, but at least it's not a gain. @Karasene, three lbs is an awsome amount, Way to GO!!!

Hope the little guy feels better soon!! Hate it when the kids get really sick!

I got mine at Sam's Club......Pure Protein plus, about $19. It has a good amount of protein, low carbs and not too high in sugars. Tastes really good, too. OH, I love the new profile pic, soooo pretty!

As well as adding nuts ( I love cashews), I've started drinking a protein shake to help increase my calories and protein. I know you only eat fruits and veggies, not sure if whey would work with that, maybe a soy protein powder? I have heard of a protein powder made from chick peas, don't know what its called though (not…
