Wow! I will def start using my scale. I have to use a digital scale for my daughter, and only sometimes use it for me...I will now use it all the time for me. I just might have a hard time now knowing the serving size when entering my own recipes....I do have a hard time with protein...I know I won't get anywhere close to…

Ha ha! Thanks, I will start putting everything in my scale. Hopefully that's it!

But if the box says a serving is 3/4 of a cup...how do I know how many grams that should be? [/quote] Usually in parentheses right after the 3/4 cup you'll see the grams. [/quote] Ahh...just looked at that. I had a DUH moment. Lol

I don't think I've ever eaten a lean cuisine meal.. But yes, when it says chili, soup, tuna salad, etc. those are my recipes.

But if the box says a serving is 3/4 of a cup...how do I know how many grams that should be?

That's kind of a tricky question for me. I would like more muscle, I do have a decent amount of muscle. But right now, my main point is losing the fat. I have heard and read that adding more protein helps with hunger, and can help lose the unwanted fat. Granted, I have lost inches since New Years, but have not lost inches…

Frustrating isn't it!?!? Good luck to you! We WILL get there...Hopefully sooner than later. :)

That's a good idea, thanks. For fruits and things like that, I just normally enter 1/2, 1/4, etc...I will start weighing them. Especially when I get on a fatting avocado kick!

Weeks...I would say since right around New Years....It's very irritating knowing I'm doing everything "right" (or so I think). I don't drink juice or soda, if I do, it's a diet soda maybe once a month. Yep, I use my measuring spoons to put oil in my pans before cooking.

I do measure most things (cereal and milk goes in a measuring cup first etc) Most of my liquids are water. I haven't been eating my calories back only because a Dr and nutritionist said if you do, you could maintain your weight. I do on occasion eat them...but mostly I don't. I enter my "burned calories" by my heart rate.…

Unprocessed meats with a side of veggies! The butcher will cut whatever size or cut you want, and it's much more fresh than prepackaged. :smile:

Awesome job to hitting your goal and surpassing it!!!! :happy: I'm very proud of you!!! Glad to hear you've had a great Christmas. This upcoming year can only be better than this year. We are all thinner and healthier!!!!

You've done great!! Good luck on a great training towards your 1/2 marathon! You sound a bit like me, as soon as I hit one goal, I need to make another...I know you'll reach your goals!

Thank you for such a great compliment!!! :flowerforyou:

Super great job!!!! Very proud of you!!! You have a very Merry Christmas as well!

You got it! I'm guessing you to be naughty.

Thanks Mike! Today I will see how many 35's I can do.

I'm in with you on that one!!!

You rock!!!

Awesome goal to make!

I hear you're supposed to do it every 3 days.

Yes, I know. I'm just trying to impress myself. :smile:

No, just other work outs. Push ups, Chest fly's...but not near the weight from when I bench. I'm also a massage therapist, and that believe it or not uses pecs.

naughty

You got it! I'm thinking you are too..... :wink:

130....By Feb I should master that. I tried to up it to 90 yesterday, but my pecs were too sore. Tomorrow...more weight. :smile:

Naughty!
