random smoothie 1/2 cup frozen strawberries 1/3 cup frozen pineapple 1/3 cup orange juice 1/4 cup vanilla almond milk 1/2 scoop vanilla protein powder pinch of ground chia seeds (optional) this makes 1 serving usually I don't measure it out and just go by what I see.

My doctor, who is pretty fit, told me he was jealous of my excellent cholesterol today! Made me feel good :] Like I am FINALLLY doing something right.

You probably are losing inches. Maybe try increasing your weights? Also diet is everything. I've been doing 30DS for almost a week now + strength training and I've lost 1 pound. I've heard you build muscle first then start to lose the fat. Not sure if it's true.

Ok, awesome! Thank you :]

I'm under my calorie goal, most days, WITH exercise. I'm not purposely trying to be under it. And I'm definitely not worrying about the number on the scale, just wondering if I'm consuming too many carbs is all :]

NO WAY!

Sounds good to me. haha seriously.

I do eat a lot of whole wheat pasta with ground turkey and spinach...but it's for lunch at work because it's so filling and easy. But still..hmm.. also my carbs are set at 191

bump!

cuties (yummy and super easy for on the go!) natural almonds (throw them in the oven when you get home and they come out tasting like heaven) salsa 99% fat free ground turkey chicken (of course!)

i wasn't quoting you at all actually. sorry you felt that way!

Yeah, I have absolutely no support either. That's why I like this website. Unlike the "hardcore" people out there, I am not at that point yet where I can simply just say no and not give it another thought. I need some form of support and encouragement from somewhere. And I am not ashamed of it either.

consider yourself blessed! that's so awesome!

^^^yes!

It is so insanely discouraging! I can't take it! There is a hot and ready pizza with breadsticks sitting on my freaking kitchen counter right now. ahh!!

i put a scoop into my pancake mix and there are a bunch of healthy dessert recipes that call for protein powder. it wouldn't give you your daily target but it could help.. i can not stand the way it taste either when its just the powder/water or even powder/milk

Wow, thanks for all the replies and advice!

I definitely want the muscle definition. So I'll continue what I am doing but maybe one full session dedicated to cardio. Thank you.

bump. really good question and this is what i'm doing right now..lifting weights but also maintaining a calorie deficit. hmm I never thought about that.

HOLY SMOKES. look at those abs! great job!

I did the http://www.muscleandstrength.com/workouts/beginner-fullbody-workout.html at the gym tonight + 20 minutes of cardio and it felt awesome! thanks so much for the suggestion!

Awesome job!!! I'm in the same boat right now! I'm at 144 and don't know what to do next..how much did you up your calories? and how many times a week do you strength train?

Replace the peanut butter with PB2 and you save even more calories! YUM. Mine is in the oven now. :]

8 oz boneless skinless chicken (i do mine for single servings..but this makes two to three servings) 2 tbsp olive oil onion, red pepper, bell pepper pinch of garlic 2-2.5 tbsp low sodium teriyaki sauce brown rice heat 1 tbsp olive oil to medium, put sliced veggies in and cook until sauteed, take out of pan & set…

yum! bummmp.

thank you :]
