You can add me!

I have been there more than you would know! 1...breasts, they suck! I finally bucked up and made an appointment for a breast reduction. You have to remember that isn't anything to be embarrassed about, and doctors have heard far crazier things. For the insurance companies here in the states if you have a medical need it is…

Anyone that wants to friend me, I would love some accountability. I was doing great last year while in school and working full time, but then a surgery happened I. December on my foot and I went down a horrible spiral by gaining 50 lbs. now, I have 120 pounds to go. Now, it is back to the daily grind of planning and…

Hi there...weight loss buddies are a great thing, and I could use some too! I am 33, and want/need to lose about 120.

I am a bit of a smoothie fanatic....and my favorite thing is pumpkin, so I have experimented some! I made this one the other day and it turned out yummy! 1 banana 1/2 c pumpkin 1 c unsweetened vanilla almond milk 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice 1/4 tsp cinnamon 1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder I have also put in a carrot and…

Good luck! You are taking the first steps to changing your ways, and that is important. Though I am not a huge fan of gastric bypass surgery I know that each person has to make their choices. (I only say that because so many people get the surgery, but don't learn the eating habits they need to truly need to be healthy. I…

Congrats on the new job and the school program! I understand trying to adjust to new everything and the demands of school and work. I am in the middle of it myself, and it isn't easy. However, those packaged goods are not "clean" by any stretch of the imagination. If that is what you can afford or have available to you,…

I suggest having some sweet options that are good for you. I saw someone mention a protein shake mixed with berries. Or, berries and a light cool whip. Whatever it is that is going to satisfy that sweet craving is good to have on hand. I have found that if I eat something that is just OK or doesn't satisfy the craving I go…

I tried those Eggo Pumpkin Spice waffles...and WOW! So, when I eat Eggos I make a sandwich out of it for a breakfast on the go (normally this is Eggo NutriGrain waffles with almond butter and a little syrup). I didn't think the almond butter would go well, but I thought light cream cheese would be yummy. I had none on…

Made a pumpkin spice coffee today. I did 16 oz coffee, 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 2 tsp sugar in raw, and 1/4 cup milk. It was quite tasty and a lot less calories than those tasty pumpkin spice lattes.

Love my Ninja! My parents have Vitamix, which I would love to get but can't afford. I used the magic bullet for a while, but it never blended everything. I seemed to always have some chunks.

I totally agree! I don't find as much success if I eat back the exercise calories all of the time. If I am hungry after the workout then I try and eat something with protein to help my body recover.

I love this question! There are so many options for smoothies. I started doing research and playing around with them about 2 years ago. Some things are going to sound strange, but I promise work somehow! I got a lot of ideas from the book More Smoothies for Life. I have used cottage cheese(lowfat, which I can't eat plain)…
