I am the primary cook at my house. I was an at-home mom for 8 years, just went back to work part-time this fall. I can't tell you how your wife would react, but I can PROMISE you that if my husband wanted to start cooking our meals, I'd be elated. I would also expect him to provide me with a detailed shopping list or do…

I like bath products--body wash, lotions, etc. Also manicures, pedicures, facials, massages, etc. I made my husband take me swing dancing last week--hadn't done that since I was pg with our daughter, and she is 7 1/2 now. I have to say that NOW I like shopping, and I have to do it or I'd be naked. . . :) It is a bit…

I use premier protein ready-to-drink shakes that I purchase at Costco. The chocolate is ok plain. The vanilla is a bit sweet but mixed with coffee it's awesome. (you can also mix the chocolate with coffee. or tea) :smile:

Have you ever had a body composition analysis done? If not, I suggest you try it (my gym does them at a fairly low cost). The good ones will tell you how much muscle you have in each area of your body so you know where you need to target muscle gain, as well as your overall lean body mass and percentage of body fat. Rather…

Aim for 1-2 lbs per week, so a more realistic goal for 4 months is 30-ish lbs. If you're exercising a lot, make sure you hydrate and eat plenty of protein. Avoid refined carbs (white sugar, processed flour, white rice); they cause blood sugar spikes/crashes which will make you feel more hungry. I have a bodymedia fit…

Depending on how active you are, you need more like 80-100. A cup of rice or one banana is not an adequate meal. Eat: meat, chicken, fish,…

I would talk to a surgeon and see what he or she says. VSG is only a restrictive procedure, which means it just helps you eat less. While I am very happy with it, I do not know how hypothyroidism impacts your ability to lose weight on a restricted calorie diet. What I mean is this: if you eat 1200 calories/day, do you lose…

In general, the parameters of my program during weight loss are as follows: less than 800 calories per day (less is better), less than 40 g carbs per day (less is better, closer to 20), at least 100g protein per day (for women, men eat more), and as little fat as possible (I stay less than 30g). The calorie count for those…

Yep. I often think "I could get 3x this protein with a drink." But I still try to eat most of my protein, even though it doesn't feel "worth" the effort!
