Love!!! :)

I like this one. It's grilled, but you can probably bake it with similar results. http://www.ourbestbites.com/2008/06/spicy-honey-chicken/ It's a little spicy, but if you don't like it spicy you can leave out the chipotle chili powder.

I didn't because I had the old book and I don't remember it being mentioned. I actually started on a Tuesday because I didn't want to wait a whole week to start.

Nobody is here...

My longest stretch for eating low carb has been about 16 months. I have only found a couple of people online who have maintained their weight on a low carb diet for over a decade. It rocks for weight loss, but is it actually sustainable for the long haul? I really want it to be, but after years and years and years of…

This group seems dead.

Okay... nobody is here.

Yess!!!

I've heard that ...I just gotta figure out how to make that happen for me. :) I am on the country music scene, though that is not my musical preference, but Tim McGraw and Faith Hill both say that. I haven't got to perform in front of a big crowd, but definitely looking for the rock star ego boost. ;)

Wow!!!! Suddenly excessive farting doesn't seem all that bad. Thanks guys...Sunday afternoon won't be as bad as usual.

It's not really a story, but I had a boss that farted non-stop. Seriously, constantly farting out loud...in meetings, talking to you at your desk in your office, walking to the parking lot, everywhere...

The television definitely went for me. I make my band members catch me up on television shows and pop culture references in the car ride to the gig. :) I'm a musician so I have to do a lot of listening and I have a playlist cued up on my ipod and in the car, while cooking dinner, and doing boring household chores, I listen…

I don't do any speaking when I perform, but I play violin and any little shakiness I have comes out in bow bobbles which doesn't sound good. Many, many violinists take beta-blockers right before a performance. Luckily I haven't had to do that, yet, but I do still suffer from some nerves. I recently heard a talk Itzak…

So how did the weekend go? The calorie allotment is the average through the week...so the free eating day is accounted for. Yes, I do have some anxiety towards this day. I undereat, but I eat small amounts of things that I have been craving during the week.

I plan my week in advance and do all the prep ahead of time, like you had mentioned. I even measure everything out...like 1 cup of granola goes in a zippy bag. I also tend to eat the same things all week long and then change it up the next week. I only have about 3 weekly rotations. This really helps work for me because it…

Hi! I agree this is an excellent idea for a group. Performing in front of others was a huge factor in getting motivated to lose weight and get in shape. I mostly play fiddle in country and bluegrass bands (not my day job), and occasionally rock bands, and have been finding myself "hiding" behind other musicians. I've lost…

So sorry to hear this. Car accidents can really shake people up even when there aren't serious injuries. I hope your husband heals quickly. :)

Fun!

Thank you ladies! :) I guess I'm doing the regular cycle? I only have the first book so I do LC (1200 cal) on TThSa, HC (1500 cal) on MWF, and Su is my free day. I don't eat my exercise calories back, but I don't really earn all that many. I walk/lumber/zombie shuffle/slo mo jog my way through 3 miles five days a week. I…

Hi, I've struggled with motivation and cellulite issues, too. I was pretty good at starting, but would loose steam pretty quickly. I just lost 30 pounds in a little less than 4 months and a bunch of the cellulite has disappeared. http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1008891-down-30-pounds I don't believe it's at all…

I made a pathetic start last November and lost 9 pounds that I regained in January. I got serious March 1. I did take a two week break after two months where I just maintained...so about 3.5 months.

Wow...insane progress!! ;)

1989 Mercury Topaz I can't imagine any of these are still running.

Hi Wendy and welcome! Wow...I bet your house is active! :) I've been doing this for a few months and have had steady weight loss. One of the keys for sticking to the plan for me is to have all my meals planned and prepped so I always know what I'm going to eat next. I even have an area of the fridge that I put "my stuff"…

Saweeet! Thanks! I perused some of your other recipes and the pumpkin pancakes, meatballs, and carnitas look really good. :)

Hey Deanna! How are you making your protein muffins? Every low-carb/paleo muffin recipe I've seen is much higher in calories because it's made with nut butter or almond meal. I played around with leaving it out, but I can't seem to get the ingredients to stick together and end up with muffin crumble that I have to eat with…
