  • I am so so sorry... my mom died in September of 2010 being very much so overweight as well, her cause of death wasn't due solely to her being overweight, but I definitely can understand the loss, for that I hope you find closure and comfort... As far as you are concerned, it's obvious how that can be a definite motivator…
  • Noooo. Coffee is wonderful! and there are so many ridiculous myths about it. There are some truths.. it is a sort of a "drug stimulant" if you're not used to the caffeine of course...I for one have a tolerance for it lol. Coffee doesn't severely dehydrate you (granted it's best to still drink lots of water!), it's actually…
  • I cannot see your hair. Seemingly nice clear skin though (:
  • 245 calories is not bad at all. One thing most people don't understand is that your calories aren't the biggest issue. It's where your calories are coming from. Protein, carbs and fats are the main contributions to what your calories total out to. There are 4 cal. per gram of carbs, 4 cal. per gram of protein and 9 cal.…
  • Yes. That sounds like a perfect meal. I love to use flatout tortilla's (multigrain w/flax are one of my faves) for a good source of carbs, protein and low to nothing fat. The egg whites are excellent for protein and have no carbs or fat. The turkey bacon is a wonderful lean mean also excellent for protein and lower in…
  • Lol... @m13sam2012 .... butt. Lol... idk made me laugh that's the first thought really..
  • I'mmmmm about to fall over! Lol @mariamariam
  • Oh and reduced sugar chocolate mix with skim milk! There's contradictions but it's worked great for me when I've done a super intense workout. Also in answer to your questions... it's best to not have too much fat... but small amounts of good fats are ok. Almonds are yummy and filling but I tend to avoid them myself.. the…
  • you can always remove the yolk from egg... but if I need a recovery I'll make a quick small smoothie 1/4 banana, some granola, 1/4 cup of whatever frozen fruit, 1tbsp of non fat greek yogurt, and an oz. of milk. It's yummy, light and a great recovery... I'll usually have a meal with eggs or oatmeal or cream of wheat…
  • My son is almost 6 months old now and I still nurse him.. I only gained about 20 lbs becoming pregnant but I didn't really take notice of or began to try to lose weight until the end of August. I had already naturally lost the weight I gained from being pregnant for the most part honestly, but I started Insanity on…
  • It kinda sucks seeing this topic lol. Heck no I wouldn't pay for it... that would be ridiculous for me... Even with my huge! slip ups on eating sometimes I have very well understanding of what I'm eating and what I should be eating... I wouldn't allow myself to come to that obsession. Even if I was vastly obese I would…
  • As long as skippy is not on that list then we're A-ok. Lol
  • Yes that's exactly what I had meant with the redistribution... and I had already put that into my goals.. Normally I have my calories to be at just barely under 1700 so I knocked it to 1500 so I'll still be eating over my BMR. Yesterday I was doing fine to keep to that until I get a text asking if I wanted pizza for…
  • Hah... I don't necessarily think that youtube song.. hot problems.. is the worst of all time. But I just smiled as I clicked exit on that crap..
  • I can't stand!!!!! MOVES LIKE JAGGER song... worked at Costa Vida and we blared music so loud that song came on and I hated it. Worse is when it gets stuck in your head all.... day.... long...
  • You're welcome (: and yes the pasta is super good... I still have some leftover I am eating right this moment lol. I added a little bit of skinless chicken breast to up the protein and a few nuts to leave me feeling full for awhile. Always wonderful ways to make things healthy and filling.
  • Well... I didn't read all the comments but I often plan my meals ahead and will log it ahead of time. This helps especially so I know where to limit myself or not have something I would have unnecessarily added to my meals.. like, that extra piece of bread or extra tbsp of this or that... sometimes log while I'm eating…
  • !!! http://caloriecount.about.com/dan-good-chili-b582926 (: this recipe is wonderful...
  • A few basic items I'd first invest in getting in some non-fat greek yogurt, non-fat cottage cheese, skim milk, eggs (you can always choose to not use the yolk), whole wheat or sprouted wheat bread, tomatoes, lettuce or salad, tuna and other lean meats, and different fruits and vegetables. One recipe I made the other day…
  • ^^^^^ Wow. Great ideas (: I knew of the jello.. didn't even think of that.. But the cheesecake sounds wonderful!!! (: Thankyou! I want to try that now..
  • ^^That's awesome! Week 3, day 20 completed today. I absolutely love insanity!! No question in it's effectiveness, carbs have become my best friend ( ! ), feeling better about the way I look and there's more to go! Can't imagine what the end results will be.. Month 2 is gonna be rough. But comments like above prove you can…
  • Sorry you haven't gotten any response as of yet... Well as you should already know ketosis involves plenty of high good fats. The only suggestion I have actually would be to put some Skippy Natural Peanut Butter with Honey on a piece of celery. Peanut butter will always satisfy my sweet tooth and my father stayed in…
  • I know this was a few days ago.. but I love finding new recipes... in any case.. I did this the other day because I had ate plenty of fats (darn peanut butter always lol) and it was! delicious. Cottage cheese is a wonderful food lol.
  • These are all awesome... I also love cauliflower.. don't think anyone put that. It's way good in all sorts of ways. I've never had hummus before... so.. Idk about it. And I have no idea what quark is. Love the ideas though (: most listed I agree with and have as well.
  • Oh! 1) Pumpkin Peanut Butter French toast.. topped with peaches and apricot jam. 2) Pumpkin Spiced coffee (as already listed) 3) Banana Pumpkin Oatmeal 4) Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bars Yummy stuff..
  • Mmm.. yeah I use flax seed here and there.. it's ok. I use it to up my protein a bit but it's honestly not that high in it and has more carbs and calories than I care to add. If it had more protein than that would be another story. Carbs are good. If ate properly. I honestly would like to get some protein powder here…
  • Ah! Holy crap I can't believe I forgot to put peanut butter... lol That... if one has read any of my posts is my obsession.. talk about it constantly when it comes to food.. Ha. Anyhow. Awesome stuff. I agree with having chicken as well. So good in protein.
  • Mom and CNA going for my LPN... the first, yes. He's so wonderful!! The other.. it pays.. ha. I do like it but it wasn't my first choice.
  • Just had gotten back home from the park with my son. Ha.. guess I thought I looked nice that day.
