If available in your area, use Kitchen Basics Unsalted Vegetable, Beef or Chicken Stock as a base. Then add sodium to your taste/as needed.

After surpassing my goal by 8 lbs and still trying to figure out a true "maintenance" food/exercise combo, I'm focusing on a maintenance size and not weight. Theoretically I'd love to reduce my BF% below the current 23.5%, but I can't afford to keep replacing my wardrobe. So as long as I stay my current size small/size 6…

Finally! Age: 56 Ht: 5'-6" SW: 175 January 2013 GW: 140 reached June 2013 CW: 132 (<<trying to up this and stabilize) Strategy for removing weight Started exercising for the first time since my 20s. Diligent use of Jillian Michaels dvds 5-6 days per week. Religiously logged every bite on MFP and targeted a 1300+/- calorie…

Here's another way to track your own homemade foods... Enter your ingredients list in http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php and calculate the complete macros count. Then just enter the totals under My Foods instead of recreating everything in My Recipes. I find the ability to cut-and-paste the ingredients…

Jan 2013 to June 2013...made goal [img]http://i1363.photobucket.com/albums/r717/geralynhoerauf/Weight Loss/aa43136d-0eec-41c4-9da2-5ef4a4bfec1d_zps510d0869.jpg[/img] [img]http://i1363.photobucket.com/albums/r717/geralynhoerauf/Weight Loss/9b6bb0ae-c9ed-4e3a-b647-40263b26356e_zpsa5af4105.jpg[/img]

I completed Killer Abs over about 7 weeks and it was the last JM dvd to get me to my goal and Maintenance. I did about 10 days at each level, doing it 5 days a week; I loved Level 3 and so did that level the longest and also go back to that routine occasionally now that I'm trying Power Yoga. I lost 8 lbs; lost 1 inch in…

I'm testing out various Power Yoga routines on youtube to see if yoga will work for me. Only been at it a little over a week and have yet to find a yoga practice that I love (as much as I love JM dvds), but I thought I'd give it a month or so and then assess. I'm not looking to burn a ton of calories because I'm happy with…

WOW! That web site is amazing!! I just double-checked a few recipes I had calculated with MFP and the results are comparable but SO FAST. Will be using it from now on. THANKS!!

Check out this pinterest list of breakfast ideas: http://pinterest.com/geralynhoerauf/yum-paleo-breakfast/ I made the Fruit & Nut Bars a couple of times. If you cut the bars into 10 (8 X 8 pan), I calculated the macros as: Cals: 237 Carbs: 34g Fat: 12g Protein: 5g Sodium: 61mg Fiber: 5g

Thanks, 4me. Gosh, looking back it wasn't THAT big a deal :blushing: . Just so you know...I weigh-in every Saturday and some weeks I lost 3+ lbs and some just a half-pound. So the 1.5 lb loss is an average. Since considering myself on "maintenance" (June 1st), I've proceeded to lose another 3 lbs and am now trying to halt…

Over by 391 calories even with a regular morning workout. Could have eliminated either the chocolate cream pie slice at 390 calories or the rose wine at 380 calories, but what would be the fun in that? Good thing I kept it all slightly under for the rest of week and hope to see that everything is still on track…

I lost 35 lbs in 21 weeks from Jan 2 - June 1 of this year, so a little over 1.5 lbs on average. Starting weight was 175 lbs and I hit my goal of 140 lbs three weeks ahead of schedule. Diet: tracked religiously on MFP and aimed for 1300-1350 net calories per day. Severely reduced alcohol intake -- none the first month and…

Starting weight was 175 lbs and it took almost a 20 lb loss to move from a loose 14/tight 12 to a size 10. Since then I have only lost another 15 lbs but slid right through size 10, size 8 and now the new size 6s I recently purchased are loose in the waist. In addition to the weight loss though, I have been concentrating…

I actually ran across this issue today while researching nutritional values for boneless, skinless chicken thighs. On the Perdue web site, they give separate and different values for cooked and uncooked chicken thighs. 3 oz of uncooked has a calorie count of 130 and cooked, the 3 oz is 180. I didn't spend a lot of time…

I add a couple of tablespoons of flax meal to a lb of ground turkey when making burgers. It binds the patty and adds protein.

Last night I precooked sweet potatoes for about 4 minutes on the microwave and then waited for them to cool. Peeled and then sliced into 1/4" rounds. Coated with a little olive oil and finished them on the grill. On Thanksgiving I coat them with a cinnamon/chipotle mixture and oven roast. Sorry it's an internet recipe =…

This is sad. I hope you can develop some confidence and realize that breast-size does not define you as a person.

And even with the Recipe Builder you can go back and revise the ingredients list. For example, my husband makes omelettes every Sunday morning so I have a recipe named "Hunky's Famous Omelette". It always has three eggs, zucchini and cheese, but I typically swap out the other ingredients like mushrooms, tomatoes etc., then…

edenwish: I'm sticking to a 1300 calorie count (since January 2) and I eat back my estimated 150 calories for the RI 30 work-out. No other regular exercise. But I do occasionally hop on the elliptical for 20 minutes -- like the day after Easter or on a rare day that I know I'll be eating out and won't have good control…

Just finished RI 30 on Saturday. Yay!! Started on March 26th and completed 31 days on May 11 (so over seven weeks, took an average of two days off per week). Results: Starting weight = 153 lbs Ending weight = 146 lbs Starting waist = 32 inches Ending waist = 30 inches Starting hips = 39.5 inches Ending hips = 38.5 inches…

Stores in Ontario: http://www.house-foods.com/tofu_shirataki_retail_store_canada/#ON

Fairly clean, except for daily glass of wine. My diary's open. Meals are proteins and vegetables. Snacks are nuts or fruit. I also include the occasional oat-based homemade breakfast bar.

I just finished Day 21 and Week 3 today, and I also want to wish you all good luck!! I'm finding RI30 more challenging than 30DS but also more fun with less boredom. In the past month I've lost another 5+lbs and dropped almost 5% on my %BF. Of course, I'm also sticking to a clean/primal diet and calorie count, but my…

Me too. I started at 36-nearly-A and after losing 25 lbs lost what little titties I had. :tongue:

Something different that I'm planning to try soon: Polish Vegetable Salad http://www.theprimalist.com/polish-vegetable-salad/

I just made the egg salad recipe with a little more than a tablespoon of the greek yogurt to give it a drier consistency. Then I mixed a tsp of cocoa powder and a tsp of honey into the remaining greek yogurt (used a single-serve 5.3 oz container), popped it into the freezer while I ate my egg salad (2 eggs-worth) over…
