Yum! Apples topped with peanut butter and sambal (chili sauce/paste)?

Hi all, I haven't been very active on these boards (though I do follows everyone's posts like a creepy stalker). It's nearly 5 pm here now, so a bit late for goals, but here they are: 1. exercise (check! - T25 day3) 2. stick to calories (so far: check!) 3. Drink enough (on the right path, had about 1,5 litres so far) Have…

As a dutchie myself, I usually substitute either belegen or oude gouda for cheddar in recipes. I don't know what (sharp) cheddar tastes like, but the recipes always turn out pretty good. I also don't know about the melting qualities of cheddar, but be mindful that oude gouda might not melt as well. It should be quite…

I'm in - It's my new year's resolution to complete a challenge :blush: :smile:

I've been doing the august calendar pretty consistently (missed about 2 days so far). Not really seeing the results yet (under a layer of fat I suppose), but am definitely feeling them! :)

I take a multivitamin for skin/hair/nails, fish oil and extra vitamin B12.

Maybe some bodyweight training? I don't know if you would consider that low impact, but at least it involves no jumping around etc. This website has a training program as well as additional information and it's free: www.startbodyweight.com

I'm struggling with motivation as well at the moment, trying to get back into it though :) We can do this!

Going to do a body by you bodyweight workout later tonight, with 10 minutes of jump roping, jogging in place and jumping jacks as a warming up

I agree with the above posters, people might be unsure how to tell you you look great without making it sound like they thought you didn't look good before (which they very probably didn't because you're gorgeous!) or they see you every day or every couple of days and the change just goed unnoticed. It's time to brag I'd…

Espresso has the same amount of calories as a regular black coffee, so pretty close to 0. Also can I be the first one to point out that if you don't have enough energy to get through your day/workout properly, you could probably do with a bit more calories? Edited to add: that's for a normal day, if you're going to work…

Well first off I would just count them, unless you're going to take apart your poop and measure/weigh the leftover seeds :sick: Second, if you're eating them to make your fat goals you'll have to grind/break them. Whole flaxseeds don't get digested properly (as you found out) and that way they do nothing for your fat goals.

24 oz is just shy of 710 ml, not even a liter of water (fluids), how do you not walk around with a massive headache every day? I don't think drinking water will make you magically lose weight (though apparently some anecdotal evidence exists), but it will make you feel fuller, and that might cause you to eat less. For me…

You can make a soup or pasta sauce with the veggies that are close to expiring (meaning, not super-fresh looking so you don't want to eat them as is but they're still safe to eat). Those things freeze super-easy and give you a nice easy and healthy meal option for when you're short on time or just feeling lazy…

Wouldn't you have to enter the ingredients for a homemade shake somewhere? Like you would with the MFP recipe editor (or tracking the separate ingredients). If so, how much use would it be to have the cup track that instead of just entering how much you made in MFP? I don't think the cup could just 'detect' the ingredients…

Did 48 minutes of bodyweight exercises today (yes I timed)

Never EVER would I pay $199 or even $99 for a friggin' cup xD. But then again, I don't drink much else than water and coffee from cups (wine I drink from wine glasses and not some plastic cup so I wouldn't use it for that, I'm fancy like that :drinker: . Beer I drink from the bottle/can so no go either:drinker: :drinker:…

I rode my bike 26 km (approx. 16 miles). It didn't take super long (1 hour and 15 minutes) and I didn't strain myself to go as fast as I can, but I'm still pretty happy about it seeing as I've been rather inactive the last week or so :)

If it causes you that much stress, driving up there is not worth it for you. If you are already there, however, you might as well make the most of it. Exercise relieves stress you know...

I second this. You plan to work out quite a lot (do you already do that or is it new for you?), which is fine if your body is used to it and you enjoy it, but if you're new to exercise you might want to take it a bit slower at first :). Are green beans and broccoli the only veggies you like? You might want to change it up…

This month I want to try eating less carbs. I don't think I can actually do keto (we eat at my bf's parents house at least once a week and I don't want to impose my diet on anyone else so I'll just eat what they serve), but I can do low carb the rest of the week and see how it goes :) Also I need to keep logging (and where…

Thanks :) Though I'm really excited about the strength gains, I also have a lot of fat to lose so I'd be fine with slower strength gains to achieve that.

I think to start out and get used to it it can be good to use a higher fruit:veg ratio. I have made smoothies with spinach before but I didn't follow a set recipe, I just threw some stuff in the blender and went with it. I do remember using apples and finding the texture absolutely horrible, so I'll never use apples in a…

I too love eggs. They're healthy (eating foods with cholesterol in them doesn't automatically affect your cholesterol levels), they're relatively cheap (I can get 10 L eggs for about 3 euros, so if I'd eat 2 a day that would be a 60 cent breakfast 5 days a week) and they're pretty low calorie. I think with 2 eggs a day…

Going by the exercises I have listed for Week 1 Day 1 as I can't seem to find the notes I made for the evaluation anywhere. Program: BBY Pulling Level: 3 (let me ins) Squatting Level: 1 (sumo therapy squats, I could do higher but for flexibility sake I wanted to start from the beginning) In-line Pushing Level: 5 (military…

Hi everyone! I'm Rianne, I'm 23 years old and I started BBY a little over a month ago. I have been consistent with the workouts for the most part, though I did skip a few days here and there. I like the fact that I can do the bodyweight exercises at home with little to no equipment necessary. Currently I'm in week 5 of…

I'm also doing Body by You. I've extended the first cycle 2 weeks now, it says in the book that you should move on to cycle 2 if you get no progress in any of the moves for 3 workouts in a row so that's what i'm 'waiting' for now, but I'm still progressing in at least one move every workout :)

It looks good, but it also sounds like an awful lot of effort to make cauliflower into something it's not -- a chicken wing. I'd rather just have actual chicken wings with a side of steamed/boiled cauliflower or a cauliflower soup as a starter...

This seems pretty cool, it'll suit my game-loving, procrastinating personality pretty well I think.. My username is Rianne90 (with capital R)

Like previous posters have said, you're setting yourself up for failure. At some point you'll just be exhausted or you'll injure yourself and you won't be able to exercise for a time. HIIT and weightlifting aren't things that should be done every day of the week (or even 5 days). Maybe you can alternate HIIT and weight…
