I posted this recipe last year for Mardi Gras and it was fantastic! I dug it up and am going to make it again tomorrow for dinner. I am a lot better with the recipe builder now, so maybe I can figure out the nutritional info for the recipe too. Just thought I would pull it back out in case others may want to make it to…

Thank you all again for the encouragement! Now I just need to focus on building and defining muscle and losing BF%. Hopefully soon I can post another picture with a little bit more muscles showing! :smile:

yummy!! This sounds great! Going to try this with tuna too! Thank you!

Thank you all for the encouragement! :smile: You guys are awesome!! :flowerforyou: @lula1967 - thank you for the compliment too! I was still ok with the way I looked before, but just had that little bludge around my waist when wearing jeans or pants. It really feels good now to put on my clothes and not have as many lumps…

another vote for bra! Its the first thing that comes off as soon as I get home! I am small chested so if I can get away with not wearing one sometimes, I won't! :laugh:

I was thinking about this a few weeks ago when I saw them do a segment on "Nude Yoga" on the Today Show. I would workout nude with my hubby, but would definitely want me and everyone else to at least wear some underwear if I worked out in a group! :laugh: ETA: after reading (and getting a good laugh) the other posts....I…

Dried beans are cheap and so easy to make different ways. I also like to go to the grocery store early in the mornings when you can find fresh chicken, beef and pork reduced for quick sale. Instead of buying processed muffins and/or breads I like to make my own as well with just a few ingredients from the pantry. Good…

Thank you for all of your suggestions! I am going to have to check them out! For my daily routine I like the DVD workouts that are around 30 minutes. Then I like to switch to cardio on the treadmill or take the kids outside and walk/run while they ride bikes and play. Looking forward to doing the later more as it gets…

Thank you for posting this! I am going to cook this soon! We love getting a rostisserie chicken at Sam's, so this would be great to do our own version at home! Thanks again! :drinker:

Hey there! Yes, I have used frozen chicken breasts before and it worked just fine. If I am home I may turn the crockpot on high for the first few hours, then switch to low for the remaining time. But on low the entire time should be good too, especially for boneless chicken breasts. :smile:

This one is so easy and so simple. I love it to make tacos...or you could put it over some brown rice for a salad bowl. Just take how ever many chicken breast you have and put them in the crockpot. Layer some sliced onions on the chicken. Pour a can of low sodium petite diced tomatoes over the top. Then pour enough chicken…

I am 5'8" 137lbs and 40 yrs old. I am in maintenance and have my calories set at 1880 before adding any exercise. My goal is to keep toning. For me personally, I would like to stay in the mid 130's. Anything lower would just seem too small for my body type.

I love the 30DS! I started with 10 days Level 1, 10 days Level 2, 10 days Level 3, and saw great results along with tracking my calories and some additional cardio on the treadmill or outside. I am still doing the 30DS, but now I mix it up a little bit. I may do Level 3 one day, then Level 2 the next. I just find it to be…

That is awesome!! Compliments are a great motivator too! Great job on your weight loss!!

I love the 30DS! Its one of my favorite workouts. I switch it up now and do the different levels depending on what I feel like doing that day. I also use heavier weights on some of the exercises too. I do a combo of the 30DS and walk/run on the treadmill as well as logging on MFP everyday and it has worked great for me. If…

Last night we had an awesome taco night dinner! I put 4 chicken breasts in the crockpot with 2 cups of low sodium chicken broth, a can of low sodium diced tomatoes, some cumin, garlic powder and pepper. Let it cook for 6 hours on low. Shredded it with a fork, then let it sit for a minute in the juices. Used a fresh corn…

We love taco night here too! I make my own taco seasoning mix to lower the sodium content. Just add paprika, garlic powder, cumin, pepper and a squeeze of lime juice to your beef or chicken and you have a delicious low sodium taco filling. I don't buy the premade packets of seasoning anymore. This is the list of…

I love having a cup of decaf Cozy Chamomile at night! So relaxing! Looking forward to hearing more suggestions!

beer and chocolate :drinker:

Most of those places have tennis courts and other various sports activities that are included too. I would check their schedule and sign up for some things like that. Rent a canoe, tennis, SUP (stand up paddleboard) etc, would be a great way to get your exercise in while on vacation! Then you can enjoy that cocktail and…

My hubby and I support and motivate each other. We have been together 20 years and from day one always enjoyed working out and running together. The other morning I was doing my 30DS and he was drinking coffee and reading the paper. He got up and said..."you motivated me to go outside and run". So off he goes and ran about…

I posted this recipe a while back for a cream sauce that is really good. You could use this as a base then add the chicken..etc. I adjust this recipe depending on what I am cooking. You can add more cheese for a bit more flavor. Or add mushrooms, onions, etc. HTH! :smile:…

I love the 30DS!! Its one of my favorite workout DVD's...but I always like to do a little bit of additional stretching or walking on the treadmill before beginning the workout. I just don't think there is enough stretching prior to beginning the workout, especially if you are getting back into exercising. Give yourself a…

Thanks again for posting this recipe! I made it for my birthday dinner a few days ago and it was fantastic! The entire family enjoyed it! I plan on making it again soon! Next time I may roll up a little bit of stuffing with the spinach and cheese! Yummo!! :smile:

you have already logged the glass of wine you are currently drinking while reading the boards! :smile: :drinker: :drinker:

lol! Those push-ups with the swinging leg are so hard! Ripped in 30 is a great workout. I am looking forward to getting Shred It w/ weights. That looks like a good one too. The 30DS is one of my favorite workouts. I finished it last week and started again on Level 1 this week really focusing on doing all the advanced moves…

If I go running outside I like a pony tail and a baseball hat. Inside a bun seems to hold mine pretty good. Depending on what I am doing, I always seem to have to but it back up a few times during my work out.

You can also purchase a set of free weights to use at home. We have a set that ranges from 25lbs down to 2 lbs and it works great for doing weights at home. Ours also came with a small adjustable bench for doing various exercises. We have a treadmill and I have my favorite workout DVD's(30DS and Zumba are my favs) that I…

Just turned 40 a few days ago! Feel free to add me too!

Dark leafy greens like spinach, kale, turnips, and collard greens are high in calcium. I love to cook these along with our dinner. Sprinkle with some vinegar and they are so good!
