cottage cheese with anything and everything added to it. The other day I had sprinkled in some orange flavored metamucil (cause i'm like 90 and need it), walnuts, and chia seeds. :) //yum/

+1 for cottage cheese. add some splenda or stevia drop and mix if you need it to be sweet.

happiness. attention and affection. to be The Only One. chocolate, dark, the good stuff, not a hershey bar. (quality over quantity) red wine. sex. puppies. diamond stud earrings.

Off the top of my head, I started here: wide grip lat pulldown - 90 shoulder press (I used dumbells) - 15 push up - 12 @ 153 lbs, although before I got into weights I was so out of shape I could barely do 5 without dying. squats - I used the kettlebell - 45 lbs step ups - 17.5

Of course you can gain muscle past 40. I hope nobody actually put this idea into your head that it can't be done. I've had muscle hiding under my arm fat for quite some time. After the fat stripped off, wha-la, muscle. Then, there's the little sinewy muscles down my back and side (and my abs starting to show). I've never…

It'll be carb-central at my house. i don't even really like football, but I do like to eat. I probably will not have alcohol though. i plan to include some homemade salsa, some guac, some healthyish chips, some meatballs in a croc, stuff like that. Yes, I'm definitely planning my "fun food day"!

No, not *any* water that contains flavoring. Check for calories, carbs, glycerol, sugar alcohols (xylitol), and so on. I don't count those as water consumption. If it were black coffee and herbal tea, maybe. But, remember caffeine dehydrates, so a good rule I follow is two more glasses of plain water for every coffee I…

Stop eating. That's usually what I do because part of this is training my mind and body to stop eating when I'm not hungry. Otherwise, I have almonds (plain) or PB, or a whey protein isolate powder mixed with water.

If you can avoid Monday's, do it. People generally get into the gym because they feel guilty about what they ate/drank on the weekend and so have to burn it off. Less peeps on tuesdays, wednesdays, and for me at least, around 3 or 4. Act like you've been there before. Take music if you think you need it. Fake it till you…

say this, even if you don't feel it. A fake it till you make it kind of statement: "Sweety, come work out with me!" He'll either get up and go or he'll shut the hell up and realize (eventually) that he'd better shapeup or shutup.

I would switch your carb and protein ratios so that your proteins are 40%, carbs 20 and healthy fats 40.I don't know your blood or cholesterol levels, but I'd get those checked first before you do anything. Or maybe go 45% P, 35F, and 20 carbs.

cheerios, sometimes mixed with raisin bran. now: I don't eat cereal. I'm a yogurt or cottagecheese--or mix it together kind of gal.

Chhhhheeeeeese. The real stuff, not the plasticky stuff. Feta cheddar Gouda Edam mozzarella parmesan (Parmigiano-Reggiano) anything goat's milk-related, I'll be eating it and highly recommending it ;) Then there's the old chicken breast topped with more cheese all melty melty (how high calorie are you needing?) Red meat…

oh, my gawd this made me bust out laughing! Thank YOU!

and to add onto this, get organic coffee if you can afford it and drink it. apparently, beans are sprayed too.

Jeans thread! Ha. I'm a Gap girl, always have been (so, market to me, biatches). Can always find a pair of dark wash curvy fit that fits well over boots, regular and tall. Some talls are too long for me now that my butt has shrunk. Today it's Joe's Jeans (20 bucks from a thrift store) and they're all broken in and…

yes, i would echo what psulemon has said. So, if we're doing stats: As a woman who's 5'10", 150, (44 years, 18% bf) doing weight training has not dropped poundage for me as much as it's defined my muscles, made me stronger, and made me leaner through the torso. However, it is a sllllllow process for me to get my last 10…

the cutoff is 39. you missed it, sorry. but seriously. It's how you carry yourself. My bf thinks i'm hot and I'm 4 months shy of 45 and still working it. Most days I think i just look "normal". Some days my hair looks like a lion's mane, some days I'm splotchy red, some days my thighs look thick. Other days I go to hot…

depends upon where you live and the customs. if you're in arizona or parts of cali, probably no biggie. If you're in the middle of guy-ville usa, just sweat and suck it up.

Wait. What? You mean they check to see if I'm wearing my underwear? Because if it was Friday, it was probably no-panties friday and THEY would be embarassed. Especially in the midwest where I flew from. ha! So, anyway, there I was, no lie.

yes. YES. YESSSS! Coffee is something I gave up two summers ago, but I replaced it with green tea. I did so because the stuff I was drinking at work was horrid and made my stomach hurt. Now I make mine at home, add real half and half (organic spank you very much) and it's really great. Only need one cup. I also get a shot…

I have one word: Reds, reds, reds...cabs, merlots, pinot noir, carmenere. Drink them all in moderation and your life will be good. I now only drink about 1 time per month on special going out occasions.

you said graham cracker.

take any veggie that's not a leafy green, put it on a cookie sheet (i also line with tin foil for easier clean up) or roasting dish, and roast them in the oven at 350 - 375 until they're . . . soft but crunchy looking on the outside, maybe 20 min. I've done this with brussles sprouts which i thought were gross until i…

>>Exercises: Fork putdowns, table pushaways, lateral head rotations (as in saying "No" to food in excess of your daily calories). and I'll add, closing the fridge while you eat, and sitting down. <--- those can be my pitfalls. You can't really get success by searching the interwebs for ads or promises. You have to start…

Drop the sugar free stuff in your coffee. Replace with real half and half (1 tablespoon or two), no sugar. Don't need the blood sugar spike without any other food to combat it. Eat some real food around noon ensuring you have protein (that is, don't just eat a bagel with butter or something) Eat dinner. You just have to…

what do clean eaters classify as lean meats? Do you include luncheon meats from a deli, brands like Boar's Head? Or on the nitrate end, Hormel? If I were doing purely clean eating, I'd be avoiding lunch meats.

i could take up So Much Space, stand with my legs spread way apart, push my chest out, be loud, burp, scratch, eat cheerios for dinner every night and think all women want me. YES!

In no particular order: drink more than 8 glasses of water, go for 10-12. avoid things with fake sugars - read labels. Are there xylitol's, glycerins or any of those sorts? Get them out of your diet. Eat non-fat yogurt w/out the flavorings, add your own like honey if you need it. take out the breads for a week. try weights…
