My honest opinion is that I think you might want to gain at the most 7 - 10 pounds. If you put on lean muscle mass, you body will still have the fitness that you desire but will also have the curves you desire as well. For your height 110 is quite small.

I normally do not sweeten it at all. I normally have it as a topping for a big bowl of mixed fresh berries. if I need sweet, I add granola or as a last resort, I add stevia to it. It takes some adjustment but its so creamy that its almost decadent to sweeten it any further.

I have the recipe for the shakeology no bake protein balls. They come out tasting like a chocolate brownie and if you make the batch and roll out 30 balls, they are only 30 cals per ball 1 cup quick oats 1 cup peanut butter ( I used 4 tbsp natural peanut butter and 8tbsp pb2) 1 cup chocolate shakeology 1/2 cup honey. Thats…

My goal for the upcoming season is to stay consistent. I will consistently eat better ( as clean as possible) and I will continue to be active. ( For me that means Zumba, body pump, Insanity and then Focus T25 and also running around with my kid). These are not resolutions for me as I do not see an end, This is now my…

Hey Sis, I can't tell you whats going to work for you, when it comes to the plateau. What I will do is tell you what worked for me in the beginning and now as well. I am an avid zumbachica as well and still am. I do zumba four days a week. on those days that I do zumba, I would go an hour early and lift weights before…

So happy for you. All it took was your commitment to yourself and see what you have accomplished.... Awesome. Stay consistent and you will reach all of your goals. Take it from someone who knows.

There are many gluten free as well as wheat free breads on the market that can help you out. You should think about veggies for sure but also things like quinoa.

yes, you can replace with whey protein. I recently saw a video on youtube where they used whey protein. The cal count was 151 cals for one cookie. It didn't use pb2 or chocolate pb2. It used regular peanut butter. You can just imagine how low the calorie count would be with pb2.

Fellow Beachbody Alum here. I am here to tell you that you are awesome. I can't wait until next month. I am going to do a fitness challenge with insanity. Can't wait to see the type of results you got. Aweseome!!!!!!!!!

Noreenf, if I can do it, you surely can do it. I will always say that consistency is the key. It doesn't matter how much you work out, if your diet is consistently poor, it will show in your results. If you are not working out enough to go along with good consistent food choices, your body will tell on you. So I am here in…

I suck with this picture thing. I have no idea how to make it post.

That is just banans!!!!!!!!!. Oh My!!!!

I use the Fitbit zip and it is amazing. I never have to worry about my calorie count when I'm on it and it also tracks everyday activity as well. The calorie count is not overestimated because you enter your own body metrics and it calculates based on that as well as heart rate. It also encourages you to get your steps in…

You are a total Rock Star.!!!!!!! That is all!

Congrats on your successes both physically, mentally and emotionally. I am so happy for you. You took back your life and look great while doing so. Kudos.

Just be consistent. The results will come.

Awww sis. Coming from you. You just made my day! :wink:

Thank you all. I am going to be honest. I think MFP is probably one of the best apps that was ever invented. Right now, it's indispensable to me. The constant encouragement from other people that are going through the same types of situations is also so helpful and gets you over the hump. I just hope that I can be that for…

Thank you so much. I'm trying to be like you when I grow up!...lol

Awesome, So excited for you.

Thanks Jules. I'm glad to have a friend on here that I've actually known outside of here. I see the work you're doing as well. You are inspiring me to look at the squat challenge.

Thanks so much. I can't really take credit for it. It's my mommy and God. ( And yes, I still call my mom, Mommy...lol)

I know. Its crazy that its so simple. Its not rocket science...;-)
