I too am back... lost 60, got sick and frustrated, stopped counting and have now gained back about 15lbs. Time to stop kidding myself and get back to what was working...

My daughters Lacrosse academy here in Edmonton AB travels to the States every year, and there have been a number of boys given scholarships... It's awesome to see it expanding here.

LACROSSE all the way!

^^^ Yup. And I'd be worried about the salt content of pickles. If of course you have issues, not saying everyone does, but for me my family has history of edema do I am careful on sodium.

My husband also started back to the gym when I started losing weight and working out. It has been awesome for our relationship and now fitness and activity have just become part of it. We just celebrated 16 years and probably enjoy eachothers company now more than ever because we are both in a good spot mentally and…

I don't, its an added bonus burn

Thank you for making me clean the coffee out of my keyboard... LOL

Oh, and here I've been basing my protein levels on my ovaries.... THAT"S what I'm doing wrong!

260 cals for 16 grams of protein? have a chocolate bar at that rate...

If you prefer fruity juicy over heavy protein, syntrax has a pretty good line that are more of a juice when mixed with water, all kinds of fruit flavors, my favs are roadside lemonade and fuzzy navel. I usually have one with my lunch to keep me fuller longer.

Are you kidding me, those big beefcakes LOVE to tell you what they know about their products... and everyone starts somewhere, at one point mr/mrs muscle didn't have a clue either. edited to add quote

Cheap can also mean a lot of extra fillers that are going against what you want. Your going to spend a little for the better, cleaner product. Low sugars, low sodium and high protein in an isolate is gonna run about 40-50 (alberta prices)

Ask at the stores, they quite often give out samples of their more popular brands. If you go to GNC if you don't like it they will take it back and either give you a credit or replace it with something else.

My Daughter is really picky about her protein shakes, she LOVES Perfect Nutrition. It's a New Zealand whey protein, if you can find it I highly recommend it. she likes it with water but if you add half milk it tastes like chocolate milk. They also have multiple other flavors that are equally as good.…

^^^this. If you knew about the policy, then it was your own fault. That's like someone being upset at a cop for giving them a speeding ticket, you know your over the posted limit, but decided to ignore it...

My female dog tries to hump my male dog all the time! lol Not quite sure why I had them both fixed, apparently I didn't have to worry about it!

18 grams of protein in a scoop I'm guessing around 30 grams? You are probably reacting to the fillers. There are much better ones out there that have 27g of protein in a 30g scoop. If the amount of protein isn't a huge deal to you I would try Syntrax Nectar, they are lighter more like juice and don't give the bloat. but…

new boobs, mine are deflating as I lose weight... and a new goal!

I usually do steel cut oats in the morning along with a protein drink Lots of Eggs or tuna fruit combinations for lunch supper is usually lean meat and veggies and fruit for snacks. If you stay with cleaner eating and less processed food you can stay around 1300 pretty easily. Just make sure you are getting a good balance.

^^^ what he said. Easier to build the muscle now than to try to gain it later.

Fireball is a whiskey Liqueur, kinda like southern comfort... fine until you turn 16! lol

MMMM I'm with you. Jack on the rocks!

I think you nailed it on that one. You don't need a band, you need psychological help. Get that straightened out first. A band isn't going to stop you from binge eating.

there are organic dairy farms as well.

Absolutely not! I have had my father in law live with us, and even when we were struggling to make ends meet we never charged him a dime. He would however throw money at the bills, because HE thought he should, not us.

I follow much the same rules, I still have wings and drinks on fight night... it's a lifestyle, and I am not going to give those things up forever.... I also never eat back my exercise calories for the same reason, it offsets the overestimation, only time I eat back is if I'm starving after a workout, then it's usually a…

an elephant penis and a human brain!

My daughter is a 36DD and very athletic and she swears by the Underarmour sports bras. We spend anywhere from 70-100 but so worth it for her.

I'm not hypoglycemic, but my son is. Basic diet for him has always been eating every few hours, at least a little something. No high sugar foods without something complex to go with it. If he had fruit he would have cheese or crackers (or both) along with it.
