Hello!!! This recipe is for one serving, so I just double up everything and divided it into two of the large "BLENDER Bottles" (shaker cups for protein powers and such). I drank one on the way into work, stuck the other in the fridge and when lunch time came around nothing had seperated at all, but I did give it a little…

I personally am not a fan of diet pills but let me share my story and I will TRY to keep it brief... Background: I am taking the following meds due to a tumor I had I my pituitary gland (which doesnt function any more) - Hydrocortisone (the whole reason I gained weight to begin with), Thyroid Meds (hypothyroidism), and a…

I just joined back up with MFP so I could track my green smoothie nutritional intake. I literally just started this morning but this recipe was my breakfast and will be my lunch today. If you like Peanut butter and banana's you will love this recipe. Ingredients: 4 cups - Baby Spinach 1 Med. - Frozen sliced Banana (buy…

I LOVE LOVE LOVE me some seltzer water!!! I could care less about soda cause my favorite thing about it is the bubbles. It provides no nutritional value so you can have as much as you want. Just make sure you are buying seltzer water and not club soda which contains sodium. My favorite brand is Safeways brand of seltzer…

Thank you for the recipe but the sugar intake is quite a lot on it especially concidering I should only be having 24 grams. Do people tend to ignore this when the sugar is coming from fruits? Cals: 473 Carbs: 112 Fat: 3 Protein: 17 Sugar: 56 Sodium: 436

There is no such thing as a healthy energy drink, in the sense of Monster, Redbull, etc... The only thing I can suggest is 5 hour energy shots, they are all natural but I would definitely check with your doctor to make sure there is nothing in there that could harm your baby.

Hey everyone, I am still here too!!! :flowerforyou: I think I forgot to record last weeks stuff on here, my bad... I was still butt hurt cause my body was stuck the last 2-3 weeks, but THIS week is another story... I "kind of" purposely took it "easy"/slacked this past week to see if I could get myself back on track, I…

Oh another thing you can try is the fiber one 90 calorie chocolate peanut butter bars. I usually eat one of those a day for my snack, but keyword there was "ONE", again its all about self control. Also you could try to slowly break the habit by using chocolate as a reward, I wouldnt EVER recommend bad foods as a reward but…

Not to be harsh or blunt, but I am going to because its reality. Its called self control! You have to be mentally prepared and all in if your going to do this. You dont want to spend all this time during the week working hard towards your goals only to throw it all away on a weekend binge do you? If you give what your body…

I totally hear you... I already have a small chest, my current size is a B and after a month I lost 1.75 inches in my bust!!! I am REALLY REALLY hoping that is all back fat (even though I really dont have much, I dont gain back fat). Honestly, I have a nice butt (only lost 1/2 inch in my hips) and as long as that doesnt go…

Thank you everyone, I appreciate all the lovely comments! :heart:

Thank you everyone! :blushing:

Go to a craft/sewing store, like michaels or joann's, heck even walmart should have them in their craft section.

Hi, not sure what kind of shape your in or your size, or even how much that affects the cals burned... But your HRM seems a little high... I typically burn 450 cals in 45 mins on the elliptical and thats in the fitness zone going about 65-70 RPMs... My gym uses lifetime as well, and its anywhere from 60-100 ish cals higher…

You dont need a blender for a protein shake!!! Get a "Blender ball" (aka, a cup with the metal mixer ball in it), add a scoop of protein, water or skim milk, and SHAKE SHAKE SHAKE. Then you can just have your fruit on the side, maybe with some whole grain toast... I suggest Optimal Nutritions whey protein.

I totally understand what you are saying... You just have to REALLY plan ahead. Its so much easier if we all worked out in the morning then we would know how much to eat across the full day, but if your like me, during the week my only choice is to workout in the evenings after work. its been just over a month for me so I…

I found this site if anyone is interested on reading more about eating for your blood type... http://www.buzzle.com/articles/eat-right-for-your-blood-type.html

Hmmmmmm.... This is interesting.... I have also up'd my dairy in the last week too (started puting 2 TBS of FAGE total 0%) in my breakfast shakes.... I wonder if thats part of my problem... I am O negative BTW...

I am in the SAME boat too!!!! Its REALLY frustrating, lost 6lbs week 1, then another 2 lbs week 2, 1 lbs week 3, then I gained and have been gaining and losing the same damn pound - pound 1/2 during week 4 to 4 1/2, REALLY irritating... I even went back through my exercise and food logs to see if I could find something…

I would suggest going to your book store and picking up a book called "The Thyroid Diet" I saw it the other day when I was looking for "Nutrition for Dummies". I took about 10 mins to shuffle through the thyroid diet just to see if it had any valuble information. I have a hypothyroid myself, but after reading through it I…

Hi Everyone, I was at Target yesterday and just happened to come across this DVD, not looking for it, but I was in the fitness section... Anywho after continually hearing all the hype about it on here I figured for $9 bucks, "What the heck". So I bought it. I am typically a gym goer and like intense (or whats intense for…

If you like ranch dip, make it yourself with one of those hidden valley ranch packets mixed with Fage Total 0% greek yogurt, its only 16 calories per 2 tbs. I figured out all the numbers in another post, I can find it if your interested.

So this wasnt a very good week for me.... I didnt lose anything, and I think I realized I need to eat more calories then I am. So I am going to really shoot for eating all of my exercise calories this week to see if that helps me. Weight Loss: 0 lbs Current Weight: 175 lbs Goal Weight: 140 lbs Challanges: Water - This was…

I just posted something on this which helps explain it... Please read it, made complete sense to me... http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/172555-understanding-exercise-calories-to-eat-or-not-to-eat-them

Honestly I wouldnt worry about it too much... I did the SAME thing this week, took a sneak peak at the scale (which I am usually good about NOT doing) and I knew I shouldnt have because I can always feel when I have lost weight, I gained almost 2 pounds!!! No idea why other then I just got done with a cleanse and havent…

I take a green tea complex everyday mainly cause its good for you. I wouldnt say its some mircale pill by any means, it hasnt helped with weight loss that I have noticed...

No Problem!!! :)
