  • A couple of interesting documentaries for the 'skeptics': Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1227378/?ref_=sr_1) Supersize Me (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0390521/?ref_=sr_2) As far as Macros go, I'm not 100% certain what they are other than a division of protein, carbs and fats intake based on your…

  • I also go over protein... but, I do consume protein shakes/whey. Other things I've found helpful: 1. Boneless/Skinless Chicken Breasts 2. Vacuum packed Tuna (rather than in a can) 3. Greek Yogurt (I prefer Chobani 0% fat) 4. Eggs (minimum yolk/no yolk) 5. PB2 from Bell Plantation http://www.bellplantation.com/ I mix PB2…

  • SW: 294 CW: 290 GW for April: 280 UGW: 175 How do you plan to achieve your personal goal? I'm working with a personal trainer and going to the gym a minimum of 3x/week.

  • Wow... in less than 30 mins and all my words of wisdom came shooting out in a chorus of support! Here's what I've learned from my dietitian/physical therapist. My caveat here is that I'm a LARGE lass hoping to lose my weight before going under the knife (gastric bypass). That said, I have been tossed into the category of…

  • Really? High impact aerobics? FABULOUS! I've been using 'dancing, aerobic, twist, belly-dance' (or something to that effect) and let me tell you, as a 245# lass, it's most disheartening to leave the floor after 45 minutes looking like I've been caught in a typhoon and feeling like I've REALLY REALLY accomplished something,…
