Also love vanilla vodka and with Fanta Zero Orange (or other diet orange). Or conversely, orange vodka with a cream soda. Tastes like a creamsicle!

I'd do vodka or gin with a diet soda. I like Sprite Zero, Fanta Zero (orange, or grapefruit flavor!), Fresca, etc. These combinations taste more summery to me than a Rum & Diet, imo.

I'm 5'9" and I started out at in Spring at 170lb/77kg and now I'm at 152lb/69kg. I've been this weight for about a month and doing some recomp work, upping the amount I eat by about 100 cals per week, and getting back to a 40/40/20 p/c/f macro split after having reduced my carbs to 30% for a while. I did this gradual…

It definitely will! I'm abroad so my selection of frozen fruits is rather limited compared to back in America... but I've had good luck with raspberries and blackberries too.

Oops, that should read: For the entire recipe: 135 cal - 21 carb - 4 fat - 3 protein Yum!

Thanks for the idea, hadn't seen this before! I'm definitely keen to start. And the 200 squats has caught my eye as well :)

For simple desserts I like frozen greek yogurts! 85g/half cup is 100 cals 19c/6p/0f for the one linked below... I love the Chocolate! http://www.stonyfield.com/products/frozen/greek-frozen-yogurt/nonfat/chocolate I also like to make the fat free, sugar free Jello Cook N Serve or instant mixes but use Almond milk instead of…

I've been tracking on MFP for about 3 cycles now, and I've become so aware of my eating habits and cravings that I actually can tell within a day when I'm going to get my period based on food alone, not looking at the calendar. That's something I could never do before. I have lost 17 lbs and exercise 4-6 days a week of 5K…

My current simple favorite is an egg scramble. 3 large eggs 100g smoked turkey strips 28g (1oz) mild/light white cheddar Brown turkey in pan for a minute or 2, add eggs, stir continuously, crumble in cheese on top, when cheese gets melty, remove from pan! Takes no more than 7 minutes from prep to eating. Packs a serious…

Hi! You can add me if you like. I'm 25, 5'9", SW: 170, CW: 152, been at this since March. I log everything, every day! If I slip up, it's in my diary, you won't find a blank entry - I keep myself accountable. I do cardio 5 days a week and lift heavy on 3. I would be happy to be a supportive friend to you!

I'm 5'9" 153 and my carb target is 115g daily (before exercise cals), have a public diary. I am not a "low carber" per se, but I avoid refined carbs like bread, rice, pasta. I do bran cereals a few days a week and some crackers on occasion, that's as carby as I get for starches. But, I think you can find some good ideas if…

I made these today and they were super! Following the recipe and the protein powder I used, I got 38g of protein for only 185cal and 7g carbs - totally awesome! I made two pan-sized pancakes and they were decently thick. The batter was a little runnier than I'd like so I may try with one egg instead of two egg whites…

Mine is open, I have 1 homemade shake a day post-workout, but it's NOT a meal replacement. I have 3 square meals a day + snacks, breakfast has a protein drink, but it's not the only item in my breakfast, always accompanied by fruit and cheese, and on days I don't have the breakfast drink I'll have a more carb-y cereal…

0% fat Greek yogurt or cottage cheese. Great to mix with things savory or sweet. Or just sweeten with a bit of Stevia (or sweetener of choice) and pop in the freezer for a tart frozen yogurt!

Thank you...

You're very welcome! I found it very interesting as well... I like to get into the "numbers" and the science behind fitness / weight loss, so the HRM seemed a logical step. Luckily my miscalculations hadn't affected my progress thus far that I can tell! I was just amazed at the discrepency. The H7 is really nice, it also…

I'm on everyday and do cardio 6x a week (strength training I don't log on MFP) feel free to add me!

I used to get all kinds of cravings with PMS. Five weeks ago, I started a 6 days a week workout plan (6x cardio, 3x weights), and I seriously saw a huge drop in my cravings this cycle. I had a salty/sweet craving all day long the day before my period started, and that was it. The rest of the time I managed to keep things…

I always loved Tropicana's Trop 50 for the low calorie count. Now that I live overseas and can't get it, OJ is more of an indulgence for me calorie-wise. Used to have a small glass of Trop 50 every morning!

I'm 5'9", 160 and I wear a US size 8. My lowest weight back in college was 130 and I was a 4/6 then. Not a lot of variance in dress size since I'm fairly tall and the weight is mostly evenly distributed when I fluctuate.

If you're looking for weight loss I'd advise choosing one with a bit less calories for the protein. I use a local health store brand (I'm overseas) and the nutrition is 33g scoop vanilla whey isolate = 123 cal, 1 carb, 1 fat, 30 protein.

1-2 scoops vanilla protein powder (depends where I am for the day in my macros) 115g cottage cheese 2 TB cocoa 1.5 TB peanut butter 2-3 packets splenda about 10 ice cubes half cup water BLEND! Like drinking a Reese's cup! Great for after some tough cardio. 400 cal 16g C - 19g F - 51g P Really, the 1-2 scoops protein powder…

Food scale is an absolute must for me! Living in Europe now, most measurements are in weight (grams), as opposed to back home in the States where the measures are volumes (TB, cups, etc). It has really opened my eyes how much volumetric measurements can vary. Classic offender is peanut butter - a serving is 15g by weight…

Without knowing what your goals are or what kind of exercise you're doing, it's hard to say, but from a health prospective alone, I'd say you're eating too many prepared/processed items and too many carbs. Like others have said, sub the muffins or biscuits for something healthier (and higher protein, to fill you up…

OP, great job on your progress so far! It's something! Looking at your diary it seems that what you really need to do is make some sacrifices. Less eating out at chick-fil-a, less ice cream snacks, basically less "rewards". The reward of healthy eating shouldn't be a snack, it should be progress in your overall well being,…

Muscle is more dense than fat, meaning a pound of muscle takes up less space than a pound of fat... they "weigh" the same :)

4 eggs scrambled with 28g Velveeta Skim cheese, and nearly a whole (small) head of broccoli, steamed!

I'm 162 and aiming for about 120g on rest days, and 180g on workout days (vigorous cardio + strength training 5-6 days a week). My macros are 30/40/30 c/p/f.

100g Apple slices 200g cottage cheese 125g raspberries 1 babybel original 1 wedge laughing cow light 1/2 serving wheat thins original (8 pieces) 100g actimel 0% raspberry yogurt drink
