My favorite easy lunch right now is celery sticks, a sliced grilled chicken breast, and buffalo hot sauce (Frank's or Tabasco Buffalo) mixed into sour cream. It's 250 calories for 3 tb. of sour cream with buffalo sauce mixed in, 4 oz of celery and 4 oz of chicken and it's seem like a treat because it's tastes like a hot…

I find that walking helps my cramps more than anything else!

I haven't ever done a juice fast but I like to make homemade veggie and fruit juice for my kids (a good way to sneak those veggies in!). I have a Juiceman Jr., and it has been going strong for 15 years now! We use it almost every day and it still works as good as the day we bought it. It's not as expensive at the Breville…

I found it really helpful when I first started eating low carb to add "Sugar" to my macros on my Food Diary. It helped me to more easily see where my carbs were coming from. You would be surprised how much sugar is in some things like salad dressing and milk. That serving of dressing my only have 5 carbs, but they are all…

Just keep logging and exercising while you are pregnant, it couldn't be any simpler! I don't understand why some people on here are like "Just found out I'm pregnant, see ya'll in 9 months!" I wish I would have known about MFP during my pregnancies, because when is it more important to be eating a balanced diet? Also, I…

I am overloaded with garden cucumbers and the Grilled Peppered Tuna Spread sounds like the prefect thing to get them eaten. I love having something like that to set out on the counter for my husband and kids while I'm preparing dinner, and that will be a nice change from veggies and ranch dip. I love pumpkin everything,…

Oh, I love wedding talk!!! I've been married for ten years, but I just want to say that I had silk flowers at my wedding, including my bridal bouquet (which my mom arranged) and I am so happy I did. I have used some of the arrangements in our homes over the years, was able to pass along some to sister/friends for their…

I totally get it. I was motivated to lose weight for a wedding and now that we went and it's over, I'm like, "So, why shouldn't I eat that?" and "Why do I need to get on the treadmill again?" But I really do want to keep losing, so I set a weight loss goal for the month and told all my MFP friends about it. I don't want to…

Yes! Those Camelbak bottles are the best! I drank so much more water when I had one. My 4 year old broke the top a couple months ago, and I've been meaning to go get another one. Hmmm, maybe tomorrow I will. I still have my REI dividend...

Yes, glasses come in all different sizes, but a cup is a unit of measure and it is 8 fluid ounces. Look on a measuring cup, 8 oz. = 1 Cup.

*In my best Jerry Seinfeld voice*, "And what is the deal with eggs? Worse than cigarettes!?" But, seriously. Since I joined MFP, I actually eat breakfast, and I like eggs. Are they really killing me? I always add veggies to them...! Edit: You haven't had bananas and honey until you've sprinkled coconut on top! That was…

Yes! So doing this.

Oh, this. is. amazing. HP, Game of Thrones, the Nightfury!?! Labyrinth and His Dark Materials, for hecks sake!!!! It's my psyche from age 5 to date in a wedding cake.

I love red wine, but I have found that I lose so much more quickly when I don't drink. I've allotted my self 2 nights a month to enjoy my red wine, or whatever... but the 1-2 lb. gain, puffy face and pooched out tummy that follows really reinforces why it's better to avoid alcohol for the most part. Plus it makes me want…

Chicken Alfredo with zucchini "noodles" and a side of spring mix tossed with olive oil, romano pecorino and a grilled portabella mushroom.

I celebrated turning 30 last year by refinancing my house to a 15 year fixed at a lower interest rate. My house will be paid off when I turn 45, so that gives me something to look forward to about turning 45. ;)

I found a bunch of weight sets just going around to thrift stores, usually $2-$3 a set. For 30DS I use 3 lb., 5 lb. and 7 lb. weights throughout the workout depending on the move (some, like chest flys and bicep curls , are too easy with a 3 lb. weight and I feel like it's not doing anything.) You will know after you do…

Yes! I must have pumpkin and spice to really enjoy fall, thanks for posting!

Iced herbal tea! Celestial Seasonings makes many delicious caffeine-free fruit flavors that are so good. You could sweeten with stevia (a non artificial zero cal sweetner that is from a plant), if you crave a sweet drink.

I think I know how you feel. I haven't bought new clothes, but I'm wearing some of my old stuff that hasn't fit in a few years. I keep thinking I will pull this pair of pants or that shirt out of the dryer and they it be too small again, but they're not. In fact they keep getting looser. I'm anxious about it. Anxious that…

It feels better to get it out of the way for the day, but if you are not a morning person (I'm not), do it late at night. Some nights I haven't put the disk in until midnight. Usually I do it in the evening after my kids go to bed and the treadmill in the late morning during nap time. But my husband comes home today from…

Thank you so much! I am going to do that from now on. I had shin splints from running on the treadmill when I was in high school, and I don't want it again! Hmmm, maybe I'm leaning forward a little during the leg workouts when you are bending a lot, because my quads haven't been very sore.

Hahaha, you should send a screen cap of her email and the pic of your missing sign to passiveaggressivenotes.com. This little saga would totally make the site!

I am really feeling it in my shins and my calves! I hope that's not a bad thing and I am injuring them some how. I know I am doing the workout forms right, but jeez, had to use Tiger Balm and a hot pad on them to get to sleep last night.
-
You are looking great! I love your new glasses, too. They look really good on you.
-
I have eggplant, zucchini, and spaghetti squash growing in my garden, so that is great. Thanks! About the avocados, I know they have a lot of carbs, but they have a lot of fiber so I thought they were good. Should I avoid them since I am on my first week of LC? I have been adding chia seeds to my salads for fiber and…
-
Firstly, I'm new to this... are you guys talking net carbs? I guess those of you listing just meat, cheese, eggs, etc. and no veggies, it must be your total carbs? I'm between 30 - 40 carbs a day, but subtracting the fiber, so 15 - 18 net carbs per day. Is this right or should I still be cutting out more carbs? I'm mainly…

1. I realized this morning on the treadmill that the blisters on back of my heels have finally given up and calloused over. 2. My best friend is on MFP now!

Good to know, because I drink a lot of sparkling water!
