2 Bean & cheese Tostadas -2 corn tostadas -1/2 cup refried beans -1/4 cup of shredded cheese broil in the oven or throw it in the microwave for about 30 seconds until beans are warm and cheese is melted. Then top each tostada with 1 tablespoon of sour cream. I also top mine with jalapenos, onions and taco bell taco sauce.…

I love Jillian's No More Trouble Zones, Banish Fat Boost Metabolism and Six Week Six Pack. Those three are my favorite and I have tried most of her workouts. 30DS is a great one too, but I think the three I mentioned about are harder workouts for when you want to push your self a bit more.

I'm 42 and have been maintaining for over two years. I lost about 10/15 lbs right before I turned 40. You can do it! :smile:

I was curious about this too and looked online at some calorie estimates. (you know, cause everything online is true :wink: ). But a lot of websites did have walking and carrying a golf bag for 18 holes burns around 800 to 1200 calories. Our home course had a lot of hills, so I could see how you can get a good workout when…

My very athletic hubby plays a lot of golf too and walks unless they won't let him on the weekends. I can't imagine the amount of miles he has logged on that golf course. Probably a ton. He doesn't carry his bag though. He has one of those remote control carts for your clubs. lol! That does seem like a high calorie burn…

I love 6W6P too, but I always modify this move as well. I just go down on my elbow. I love her workouts but there are just some things my body can't do, or I don't want to do. lol! :smiley: I had nerve damage in my left arm several years ago, but it has since gotten better. I don't want to do anything to aggravate it…

I love a Dijon mustard and honey marinade. I also like to marinate them in Franks Red Hot sauce then coat them with panko bread crumbs. Bake at 375 for about 45 minutes. So crispy and good! I am going to have to try that honey-garlic-siracha glaze. That sounds good too!

Congrats on your weight loss so far. You might want to try increasing your calories so your weight loss is more sustainable. As far as workout DVD's have you ever tried any of Jillian's workouts. I love 30 Day Shred, Banish Fat Boost Metabolism, and No More Trouble Zones. Those are all great workout you can do at home. You…

I had two kids via c-section and my favorite things to do post-pregnancy was to walk. If you don't have one already get a jogging stroller. The fresh air will be great for both of you. Also, don't rush it. Enjoy this time with your baby. :smile:

yes, I agree with the above. Use all three. I think it also depends on your goals and at what point you are at in your journey. I lost about 10 lbs over two years ago. At first it was about the scale. It was awesome seeing the numbers go down. Then it became about the mirror. I could really tell my BF% was going down and I…

yes! That was me about two years ago. I was a bit to "soft" than I wanted to be too. I lost about 10 lbs and lowered my BF%. I am 42 and feel great! :smile: Congrats on your weight loss! There are a lot of people on here that can offer some really good advice. What worked for me was a combo of HIIT training and weight…

I'm 42. I lost about 10 lbs before my 40th birthday and have kept it off ever since. For me it wasn't so much about losing weight as it was reducing my BF%. Not only to look better, but to feel better too. You can do it! :smile:

When hubby and I were dating back in college we used to walk to the bowling alley. However we would easily polish off a pitcher or two of beer, but at least we were walking back to our apartment. :smiley: We have a rock climbing place here. I have taken the kids there before and it looks like a lot of fun. That would be a…

I love my stomach area. After having two kids and being over 40 I am proud that I can still rock a bikini. :smile:

Does anyone have any favorite decaf teas? I always drink chamomile at night, but would love to try some other decaf teas. Some teas make me feel jittery, so I tend to stay away from some of those with the chickory root, etc. type of ingredients in them.

I love cozy chamomile tea. I have a cup every night. I haven't tried the Sleepytime Peach. That sound good! :smile:

Walmart had a great line of compression leggings and capris. I have several pairs of them. I haven't had any issues with them being see through. They also have really good sports bras. I think the brand is Avia. Lots of different colors and they have cute strap designs in the back. I also like Old Navy's tanks. They have…

Thank you!! I appreciate the compliment! :smile:

I'm 5'8" (42 yrs old) and have been maintaining around 138-140lbs for two years now. I lost about 15 lbs and feel like this is the perfect weight for me. Since I wasn't technically overweight it was not as much about losing weight, it was reducing my BF%.

This is why I don't have a fit bit. We have friends that have had them and it grossly overestimates your daily calorie burn. IMO, your better off using a HRM during cardio exercises and calculating your daily calories needs based off your activity level by using MFP's (or Scooby's) simple calculator. Like others said make…

Love coffee here too! What kind of reusable k-cup do you use? I haven't found one that works well with our K10.

I love my HRM. I have a polar FT4. While it may not be 100% accurate, it at least gives me an idea of my calorie burn. I have been using it for over 2 years now and love it. I have thought about a fitbit before, but I am more interested in what I burn when I am exercising, not a daily estimate.

My favorite are Jillian's Six Week Six Pack, No More Trouble Zones and Banish Fat Boost Metablism. Insanity Max30 is a good DVD program too.

I am not sure what it's called but we can't wait to see the animated movie that is about what pet's do while the humans are away. The preview looks so funny! :smile:

((HUGS)) you sounds like a sweet person. Have you ever thought of joining a gym and doing some exercise classes to meet some friends that are on the same journey. Being in a class with others can be so motivating and uplifting. You can meet new friends and work on your fitness goals. Best wishes to you.

Do you like to cook? We make our own version and its just as good, if not better. I make an awesome Chinese chicken and fried rice dinner. Its one of my husbands favorite meals. You basically take cut-up chicken breast, throw it in a ziploc with cornstarch. Toss it around. Add ginger, soy sauce, garlic and pepper. Let that…

Just turned 42. I lost 15 lbs right around my 40th birthday and have been maintaining for over 2 years now. MFP was a big key to my weight loss and now maintenance. You can do it!! :smile:

My husband and I met at work. We have been together for 21 years now. Married for 17 of those. :smile: We were young and both in college. Worked out great for us!

another good cheese is the Sargento's Thin sliced cheese. 40 calories and perfect over eggs in the morning.

Tommy Boy! Love that movie. Probably have watched it 50+ times. :smiley:
