Hello :) I'm 5'7.5'' with wide hips and shoulders. Started at 222 and got down to 165 (http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/885720-53-pounds-down-w-pics-first-post ) Since then, I've gained some weight and went up to around 179 (I haven't weighed myself since June). I've also got a tummy tuck and breast aug..so some…

I was going to get an herb scissors, but perhaps this ulu thing will be beneficial for that, and other things.

Thanks for everyone's input! I have my cart filled with enough to get my shipping free, but I haven't checked out yet. I don't think that I'll do the membership, I'll just load up while I get my free 2 months. Most of the items are pantry things, which decent shelf-life. I'm the only one living this lifestyle in my home,…

Veggie noodle maker!! I love zucchini noodles with spaghetti sauce. I was using jar spaghetti sauce for a while though- didn't reason the sugar overload. I'll be making my own next time. Tools I want to get: bamboo cutting board avocado cutter thing a thing that turns olive oil (or any oil) into a spray (ditch the cans)…

I wish I had the self control for "treats". After my 21 days (the kick start to this lifestyle), I felt very confident that I could resist and control myself around sweets since my cravings had went away. So, I bought a bag of dark chocolate, the good stuff, and planned to have one a day. Well, apparently that's like an…

I'm sure cooking veggies with olive oil would do it too- I usually buy the steamable bags of veggies.

I'm guilty of eating too much fruit and nuts and not enough meats and veggies. Most of my fat comes from nuts though. How do you get more fat without eating nuts? High fat meats?

I like the idea of keeping it simple. It'll keep cost down. I did buy coconut flour for pancakes but I skipped on almond flour and some other oils besides coconut oil. I think I'll slowly stock my cabinets or I'll be spending far too much money.

Thank you!!! I'm curious about ghee. How does it taste? Like butter? I'm making paleo pumpkin pancakes right now and wouldn't mind having a butter on top but all I have is margarine in the house. I'm nervous about a "butter" that's on a shelf and not fridge.

As I continued my day yesterday...feeling tired, bloated, and with a headache, I certainly can say that I felt that way often prior to doing paleo. It was good reassurance that this life style is the way to go. I, too, can't have just one very well. Once chocolate hits my mouth- I will struggle all day to keep more out. I…

How in the heck are people getting around 50g of carbs?!? The carbs in veggies and fruit really add up. I'm assuming most of your day is meat and nuts? I'm lucky to stay under my goal of 130g.

Hello! I'm new too! Today is day 11 for me.

I'm on day 10 of Paleo (friend- me please!) I'm absolutely amazed at well I'm doing and how great I feel. I believe that I was a sugar addict, sometimes consuming a couple whole candy bars in a day, along with breads, cereals, etc... I've been calorie counting for years and did lose 50 pounds in 2013, but have gained 20…

Thanks! Not crazy about the colors..but it's a start.

I have mine scheduled for Aug. 3rd. A couple years ago I had a breast lift/implant (an implant only because I had so much loose skin, some needed to be filled...they were a mess). I've had one pregnancy, when I was 20 (I'm 31 now) and have lost 60 pounds at one point. I've since gained back a bit, so I have until Aug. 3rd…

Hi! not a coach, just starting the 21 day fix soon. I'd like to be part of the group! My package should come sometime next week.

Thanks! Hearing results is always motivating. This is only my second week (yesterday was my third fast). I need to stick with this and give it a shot! I plan to stay off of the scale until March 13th and see where that puts me.

Highest weight: 222 (size 16 pants) Lowest weight (2 years ago): 165 (size 10 pants) current weight: 185 (size 12 pants) goal weight: between 149-155 (8 maybe??) I'm getting a tummy tuck in the beginning of Aug., so it's essential that I get down to my goal by then. It's not lipo suction....just removal of skin. When I…

How much do people usually eat on "feast days"? For myself, at 5'7.5'' and 185, would about 1800 be right? Or should I go less if my goal is weight loss?

What are "feast days"? Every day besides the fast days?

Thanks for all the responses! I like the idea of doing the 6:1 for maintenance. I was afraid that doing the fasting would cause me to binge more, but it hasn't been the case so far. I seem to do well with the strict restriction on fast days and surprising stuck to about 2,000 calories the day after. (FYI..only been doing…

I'm new...so I hope to improve over time, but here is what I had yesterday: B: coffee/cream S: apple L: pistachios S: string cheese D: egg white omelet That was my 500 calories... Then, I had a bunch of popcorn...oops (700 calories total) It was my first day though, I'm not going to be too hard on myself. Plus, I plan to…

Helloooo I'm new to the 5:2 group. I just started the diet this week. I'm assuming these posts with weekly dates are for people to check in on how they did that week?? A little about myself... Classic yo-yo dieter. I've been trying to lose weight since I was about 13 (now 30). I had a lot of success using MFP 2 years ago…

I'm not a fan of floor exercises (I have a bad neck/back), so I really like turbo jam videos. There is an ab video that is half floor and half standing (some cardio in the mix too) and then the cardio party 1,2, and 3 really work the abs! The first one the most. Good way to burn cals while working the abs since we all know…

I got one in December when stores had a few for about a day...lucky me! I was super excited. However, the heart rate monitor is useless. I do hard cardio, Hiit training and my heart rate will get up to 170-180 (I've worn a heart rate monitor strap for years), but according to my charge HR, my heart rate is only at about…

did great things for my shoulders too!!

Jillian Michaels 30 day shred did wonders for my arms. I've since reverted back to the jiggle though... :/

I like when mine show...don't really care what men thing.
