2 slices of lean turkey and half a cup of cottage cheese gives about 20 grams protein, I am always careful to make my protein as muscle is important to me, not alot just enough (55 yr old female) If I know I am going to have a low protein day, not very often, I will add about 8 grams of pea protein to my oatmeal and gain…

I am 55, it took me an extra 3 months of exercise once I reached my goal weight and the rest of my body toned pretty well, to get the belly fat. It was worth it, then a bicycle accident and I was out for a year, back at it, hopefully flat belly by May, just regular crunches, twists, cycling, lots of stretching, did weight…

better than perfect, you should make a poster saying that. the sum of everything

If most of your carbs are coming from vegetable sources I personally wouldnt worry too much about it as long as you are getting enough protein. I always try to get more protein and its pretty easy, good luck. Its amazing how a great salad adds up in carbs. As long as you understand the types of carbs. Have fun with it.

keep it up then, whatever works for you, probably another food myth, :happy:

I was always told that chewing gum makes your stomach acid work and thus you feel more hungry????? If thats true maybe the gum is a great distraction.

Mash really well, mix one with a cup and a half of oats and about 10 tablespoons of chocolate PB2 powder, (a peanut butter powder)spoon onto a baking sheet, bake on 375 for about 8 to 10 minutes, makes about 20 cookies. , 40 cal each, I think the recipe is in the database, Chocolate PB2 banana oat cookies. enjoy

Usually water with lemon, but when out socially, club soda, preferably not name brand, they have alot of sodium, go with the store brand.and a lime or lemon wedge. For a treat add a shot of gin or vodka only 60 something calories. Lifes a balance, so always enjoy just balance. lol

It took me about 4 days to get used to it and everyother day I exercise and most times eat back my calories. I was 145 and have lost 8 pounds in 16 days, my goal is another 5 pounds. I feel great, look even better, lol and this goal will give me play weight with the summer coming up. I do cardio and weight training. Have…

Just bought one, 2 days ago. Huge difference, it makes things easier, I was over estimating. I am Canadian, Canadian Tire a huge hardware store just had a sale, I paid $10 for a $30 scale. I put 5 scales side by side and they all read the same, from an $80 scale to the one I bought. its great, stylish(for whatever thats…

No matter, tomorrow is another day, dont even think about, if we didnt screw up we wouldnt be normal, lol This shouldnt be torture . We do well we feel good, we do bad we feel bad. Sounds like life to me. Goodluck with the future. Never kick yourself. Smile

Hi, my son is in university, he gets up at 6a.m. to go to the gym, before classes. At first he found it hard but he persevered for a month and now it is just part of his day. He eats well though, I taught how to cook for a few days at a time thus he saves time most nights, ex. cooking extra rice or potatoes for the next…

That a girl keep up the good work, dont forget to some mild exercise so you will be strong when you get your new knees and can chase hubby around.

peanuts, good protein and high in calories, just carry around a snack container add some dried fruit and you should be fine, calculate out the size of container. I lift weights with my husband and while I want to lose 8 pounds my weight has increased but the inches are down. Weight exercise will burn fat but trim inches…

Voted good luck, his smile made my night.

I also snack eat quinoa at breakfast with a greek yogurt and some frozen berries about a 2/3 cup overall. That carries me along way. I…
