I make sandwiches/wraps at work for lunch. I usually use Arnold's Multigrain Sandwich Thins. I use low sodium deli meat, canned tuna, or home-cooked chicken breast, cheese (usually swiss), Hellman's Light Olive Oil Mayo, baby spinach or boston lettuce, tomato, onion, etc. With my sandwich I have a side or two, generally a…

V8 low sodium vegetable juice and coconut water are both good sources of potassium. Cherries are another good source, but like with bananas, you'd have to watch your sugar intake. Beans and fish are also supposed to be good sources. Hope this helps! =)

I believe the 170 calories is for the english muffin sandwich, not the 6" flatbread.

Silk Unsweetend Almond Milk. It has a great consistency, very creamy. 1 cup = 35 calories. I think it would make a great creamer substitute.

Low fat cottage cheese is a good option for snacks or side dish.

Low fat cottage cheese with fresh fruit is a good option and is high in protein. I almost always have a container of cottage cheese and fresh pineapple, which I dice up all at once and then just keep on hand for easy access. I often will have cottage cheese and pineapple for breakfast or a morning snack. Berries, like…

L1D4 complete. There were 29 days between the day that I started (7/1)3 until the day that I leave for vacation (8/10) and there will be 2 days I will be out of town camping for a family reunion, so I think that I will do each level for 9 days. I'm also going to mix in additional workouts on occasion, like the elliptical…

30DS is Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. It's comprised of three levels that get progressively harder. Each level contains a warm up, 3 cirucuits, and a cool down. Each circuit consists of 3 minutes of strength, 2 minutes of cardio, and 1 minute of abs. Each workout is about 25 minutes long, including the warm up and cool…

I would highly recommend trying Boston lettuce (or even Bibb lettuce) if you haven't already. Boston is a darker lettuce but has a very nice flavor to it. It is probably my favorite lettuce! My next two favorite greeens are baby spinach and romaine lettuce. =)

I just googled "flattering clothes for apple shaped women". Here is one of many links available. http://www.shapeyourstyle.com/apple.php Hope this helps! =)

Cottage cheese and fresh fruit...maybe with a slice of 100% Whole Wheat bread or a cup of oatmeal. =)

I completed levels 1 & 2 with 3 lb weights, but instead of moving on to level 3 I began using the 30 minute circuit at my gym while mixing in 30DS level 1 with 5 lb weights on occasion. However, I just decided yesterday I wanted to start doing 30DS more often, so count me in! Today was my L1D2. I will have to post my…

There is a warm up and cool down included with each routine. It's a great workout! The first few days may be rough, but push through it and it will get easier. And remember, it's okay to take a day of rest once a week to allow your body to recover! Good luck and enjoy! =)

I got mine done about 5 years ago...I was 19 at the time. I can honestly say I'm very happy with my decision Why did you get it? I was small chested for my frame, as I have very wide hips and was only a B cup. I looked very disproportionate. I also had something know as "tubular breast", in which the breasts are elongated…

I absolutely LOVE PB2. At first I just ordered the sample for $3.99 from bellplantation.com to try it, but shortly after using up my sample I ordered 4 jars. I mix it with water, milk, almond milk, soy milk, etc...basically whatever is available. I eat it reconstituted with apples and celery. I also mix it in with protein…

I honestly think this is going to be a personal desicion, but there are some things to consider. Just FYI, I was working on my Masters of Science in Chemistry when my husband and I got married. That's not quite as demanding as doing a pharm/dental/med program, but I guess I can relate a little bit. I think that it is very…

Rinse and cut fresh vegetables (celery, broccoli,etc.), keep in ziploc bags or tuperware containers on ice in cooler. Great for munchies/snacks as well as with meals.

I got my BA in chemistry in 12/2007 and began working in my field right away (2 weeks after commencements). Then, I completed my MS in chemistry while working full-time in my field. However, I know I've been very blessed with the opportunites that I've received and not all college graduates (especially in sciences) are…

Check out PB2 from Bell Plantation. I think it's delicious. I mix it with Silk Almond Milk to reconstitute and serve with celery, apples, etc. I also mix it into protein smoothies! It satisfies my PB cravings.

Cucuber salad is a great cold salad that can serve as a healthier alternative to cold pasta salads. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/adriennes-cucumber-salad/detail.aspx I would substitute stevia or splenda (or other sweetener of choice) for the sugar to reduce the calories even more. Also, I think fresh dill would make this…

Have you discussed your incredibly low energy levels with your doctor? You may need to have some bloodwork done to check for thyroid issues and/or vitamin deficiencies. If you're not currently taking a multi-vitamin, I would reccommend that you do. Also, make sure you are getting enough water. I've found that I have…
