Please send an invite. I need to get back on track and could use the motivation!

I get this too. It isn't as bad when I hit my protein and fiber goals.

I get most of my new recipes from budgetbytes.com, which isn't a healthy site so much as it is a frugal site. I feel that most of the recipes are reasonably healthy and if they are more decadent just manage the portion size. Also, there is a sub-category on here for sharing recipes that I frequent for ideas.

50, or about 1lb per week. Ultimately 80-90lb is the goal.

Kale. Can be refrigerated or frozen after steaming. Really you could do any vegetable and because you are replacing rice you might opt for a starchy vegetable (potatoes)

Homemade Burrito Bowls- Carnitas In a slowcooker, cook a pork shoulder on high during the day or low overnight until the meat falls apart. I season mine with salt, garlic/onion powder, ground cumin, ground coriander and a little bit of cinnamon (it smells amazing). Meanwhile, cook a pot of rice. If you don't own a rice…

I am wondering the same thing.

Aquarium. You get to talk about how smelly the penguins are and then pick out your favorite fishes and jellyfish. Seems like fish is a common theme in good first dates.

I count them because I am proud when I hit my fiber goal, but the calorie count is always quite small I've noticed too (under 100 cal). Now salad dressing and toppings can make a big dent pretty quickly, but ruffage not so much.

What I was going to say, there are more calories per oz because of evaporation from water. Unless you choose a food that is prepared with oil (fried eggs), then the extra calories are mostly from that. But 3oz raw spinach should have as many calories as 3oz steamed spinach.

Funny how I never thought someone would think they have fat around the knees. I'm an apple though, so I suppose the thickness of my knees is secondary to my belly and arms. I've noticed my knees seem to be getting bonier from my weight loss, and I think that lunges help big time. I agree with the other commenters, you…

I gained about 15-20lbs in 3 months from birth control- I was on progestin(sp?) only and after 2 weeks was miserable. I had lost those 20lbs earlier in the year by eating healthy and packing a salad for lunch every day, but after BC I started craving white bread, red meat and cheese ALL the time. Before I loved my…

Roller skating and karaoke, not necessarily together.

I've been dying to try this, and since it is also meatless you may consider it reasonable to make. http://www.food.com/recipe/sweet-potato-thai-curry-121137

I break it up and it is taking about 6 weeks: 1 day cardio, 2 days shred, 1 day cardio, 1 day rest, 2 days shred (7 days per week) Yes, with level 2 I was grateful for non-shred days so my muscles could repair.

Great job! You look great and I can also see the difference the toning did.

That's great! With your dedication you can shed a lot of lbs within 3 months and you will feel great. You are also looking to put on a lot of muscle if you don't have it already, so you will be able to sculpt your body over time. I think you could meet your weight goal within the year for sure.

I think we are starting out with similar BF%, and I can't imagine reaching my goal any sooner than the end of the year (likely 1.5years). I don't think I could lose over 20lbs in 3 months but I do not work out as much as you.

This looks like a healthy dressing to me. If I were to do it I'd make it with extra virgin olive oil instead of vegetable, and add the sugar to taste at the end. You will know there is enough when it doesn't taste tart, but you will almost certainly not need 8 tbsp. Do you think they actually meant tsp? My go to…

Lol good tip, my last burrito bowl left a stain in my car. Now my passengers always look hesitant when they see the black bean skid mark on the seat! Boohoo!

Baltimore crabs.

I'd like to join- I recently challenged myself to 20lbs in 90 days and if my math is correct, that's about 13 weeks.

Shiitake

If you mean complete vitamins and minerals, I suggest going to www.whfoods.org. You can look up the vitamin/mineral composition (as well as caloric info) of many whole foods and design a plan for you- personally I think hitting recommended daily values for anything on any given day is not as important as overall trends in…

A sperm whale's brain plus an average human's brain... I knew I'd lost my mind.

Yay thanks for all of the awesome replys and requests! Shamelessly bumping my own thread to see if I can catch any more women who like to eat, then calling it a night. Thanks again all!
