I gained it the same way I'm losing it.....one day at a time.

Good for you! I quit April 1st, 2012 after 48 years of smoking. One week later I joined a gym and began working out thinking that replacing a bad habit with a good one was moving in the right direction. I gained about 18 lbs but have lost most of that since joining MFP in December. Stay with it!

Weight Reducer – Cinnamon apparently has the effect of thinning your blood thereby increasing blood circulation. Increased blood flow generally boosts your metabolism which is why it may be helpful in weight loss. This blood thinning property of Cinnamon also helps it in acting as an anti clotting agent especially for…

28g Protein Powder 13g Golden Flax Seed Meal 7g Psyllium Husk 1g Cinnamon 6 oz Fresh Strawberries 4 oz Fresh Baby Spinach 3-4 oz Banana 2 cups Unsweetened Almond Milk Roughly 400 calories depending on the size of the banana. Very tasty!

I cook protein, fish, chicken & shellfish primarily, every Sunday and eat it through the week. I have never had a problem with it.

You acutally burn more calories in cold weather just maintaining body temperature.

Yes! With olive oil is good too.

Sorry if I precipitated an avalanche of marginally appropriate responses but it was probably inevitable anyway. :bigsmile:

Considering the provocative nature of the subject title I am very disappointed in the actual content.

I think addiction would be overstating the case for me. I am surprised to find that I now look forward to it and experience a glow of satisfaction when it is over. Hmmmm. That sounds disturbingly like a sexual experience......but let's not go there.

These are the results from one of America's Test Kitchen equipment reviews. The Vitorinox did very well. Product Tested Handle Blade Slicing Chopping Mincing Butchering Price* Recommended Victorinox (formerly Victorinox Forschner) Fibrox 8-Inch Chef's Knife, Model 40520 The lightest knife in the group, and one of the…

It all begins with one thing. A quality 8" Chef's knife.

Procrastinator. I was going to reply to this yesterday but....well.....you know.

Mty Grandfather lived to 103. From my earliest memories he was always trim and fit primarily due to lifestyle rather than any formal fitness regime. While his physical condition probably wasn't the only factor in his longevity, I'm sure it played a significant role. Let's also address quality of life. He passed all tests…

28g Cinnamon protein powder 13g Flax Seed 7g Psyllium Husk 2 cups unsweetened almond milk 6 oz Strawberries 3-4 oz Banana 4 oz spinach When I use up the protein powder I'll probably switch to nonfat Greek yoghurt for the protein. The powder is expensive and I'm not sure it's really necessary for my goals.

My goal is to have a flat stomach again regardless of the weight when I get there. You'll know when you look in the mirror.

Perfect!

You should count everything including herbs and spices. Individually they may not mean much but it all adds up eventually. More importantly, though, is maintaining the discilpine of tracking everything and logging daily.

Stimulate your body (exercise) and stimulate your mind. (education) Don't be afraid to learn new things. Take up a new hobby or learn to play a musical instrument. Instead of retiring when you get to retirement age, take up a new career path. I am giving serious thought to becoming certified as a fitness intructor when I…

Definitely Almond Breeze unsweetened vanilla Almond Milk. Good nutrition and flavor and only adds 30 cals per cup.

Great job! I also began working out for the first time at 62 after giving up cigarettes. I still have a ways to go but I look and feel better than I have in years.

Not necessarily bad just twice the calories. Still less than milk though.

A large head of cauliflower is 210 calories for a total of 450. Divide that by however many portions you think that will serve. 3-4 I would think.

In a word, no.

Somebody referenced their frozen fish earlier and it really is quite good. The Turbot filet cooks quickly and will melt in your mouth. I aslo like their Mahi.

I am usually at the gym between 6-7. If I don't put something in my stomach it will begin to eat itself so to speak. I make a morning shake with the following ingredients. Protein powder 30g Flaxseed 13g Psyllium Husk 7g Raw Spinach 4oz Strawberries 6oz Banana 3-4oz Almond Milk 12oz I'll usually drink about 1/3 - 1/2…

Congratulations! This is much better than the big foot thread I thought I was clicking on. :smile:
