Bump I'm looking for protein powders to add to my green smoothie that don't leave a powdery taste in my mouth. Yuck!

The 100lb question depends on who you ask lol. If I wanted to weigh 128 lbs I could but I'd look like a stick figure which is not my goal at all haha! I do NOT eat back my exercise calories, sometimes I may go a bit over my alotted calories but I am no where near eating a full 600-700 calories. Maybe I don't understand…

Protein shakes are great! I drink them usually after a workout and I feel my whole body brighten up due to the replenishment of nutrients I'd lost. Like everyone else said, protein is needed, it is good for you, it doesn't create muscles, and some of them taste really good! Don't get sugary ones or ones high in carbs and…

People will either recommend you follow MFP or recommend you follow TDEE -20%. I've been losing so far with MFP but I was interested in finding out about TDEE. That is until it told me my fat *kitten* is supposed to eat over 2200 calories! Ha! I can't even imagine how that works. Check it out and see what it says for you.…

Lol I almost feel like I don't have to write anything you guys hit it on the head. Don't forget "You're supposed to eat back all of your calories and since you're not you're starving your body of the nutrients it needs." And what about, "Back when I was fat, I had a similar problem, but it'll pass." Ummm....did they just…

You guys are awesome! Thanks for the simultaneous input and almost identical answers, some of you lol. I guess that means that's exactly what it is. I appreciate it, perhaps I will help someone else in the future with the same question :flowerforyou:

Start date: Feb 10, 2013 Start weight: 284.8 lbs Current weight: 229 lbs Height: 5'7 Goal Weight: 180 lbs Age: 28 I walk on the treadmill on Random for an hour starting at 3 mph and ending at 3.5. Great calorie burn! For muscles I am doing The Betty Rocker 3-4 times a week. Last summer I got to my lowest adult weight of…

Hey if we're close to twins, add me/ 28 5'7 SW - 285 (Feb 10, 2013), 256 (Jan 1, 2014) CW - 232 GW - 180 or lower I walk on the treadmill 4x a week and do The Betty Rocker 30 Day Bodyweight Shred 3-4x a week. We can do this together :)

This is pretty darn cool. Since I'm late I won't do a detailed list, but I am at 19.7 hours, mostly due to my 65 minute walks on the treadmill 3-4 times a week, 32 minute 30 day shred activity, and lots of walking around on campus. Whew! I should hit 24 hours by Tuesday Feb 25! Woooohooo I will make it, and have 3 days to…

Trogalicious, you lost 153lbs by making mistakes and doing your own thing but telling her she's doing it wrong is a terrible thing to say to someone who's asking for help. If you're going to throw out judgments,then make a suggestion or just say nothing at all. That said, I hate to eat right before bed but if I'm not…

I typically have the olive oil vinegar blend at the school cafe. I just don't have a measure of how much of it I eat. I might have to embarrass myself and measure it out of a requested side cup. That olive oil is super fatty :(. I DO need to measure myself. I've definitely lost inches somewhere along my upper body. The…

It's so funny you mentioned 1 and 2, because that's exactly what I ate, lentil soup for dinner and 3 bean soup with veggies for snack. I LOVE bean soups. I will definitely attempt making my own low sodium variety and bring them along. I don't know how to make lentil soup but I will learn :). Thanks for the advice. Love…

Nice! Good idea I was making trips to the cafe eating their lentil and 3 bean soups. So they definitely had heavy sodium. I will try making my own, great idea! I love beans, clearly lol.

I eat salad at lunch but I like my soups. I'm not sick thank goodness. I will attempt to keep them low but goodness I was stressing over that limit some days.

Not really. I'm not on meds or anything but my weight being high is not a good thing for the potential.

I'm in...I'm hungry lol

I seem to gain when I drink....hence my 3 lb gain from Super Bowl Sunday...sigh

Thanks brittaney,I think I'll just give this a try. Did you buy it online or in store?

Ummm...I think you misread my question....I could give a fuk less about people's thoughts, I just wanted to know if it was comfortable and fit on fat arms.

Yeah I'm torn between this and the fit bit. The arm band looks uncomfortable. And does it fit on fat arms lol like mine?

I agree! I was looking at bodymedia but no one has commented on it. I want a HRM as well.

Omg I love byob! Gotta add that!

I'm doing the 30 day shred. I use new slaves - Kanye, black skinhead - Kanye, flawless - Beyoncé, give me everything - pit bull and neyo, 3005 - childish gambino, tko - justin timberlake, yonce - Beyoncé, party rock - lmfao, sexy and I know it - lmfao, dirt off your shoulders - jay z, smells like teen spirit - nirvana, 7…

Non judge over here! Let's be buddies :)

I'm totally feeling your pain. I'm in week two day 7 and I definitely have great muscles now. And my belly has gone down already. It seriously kicks your butt and I plan to keep going. I start week 3 tomorrow and I'm terrified! Lol but with support I believe I can conquer it. My daughters father is much slimmer than I and…

I do the push ups on my knees. I plan to move it up a notch once I feel stronger in my back because that's normally where my pain gets bad. I do the planks though. I moved on to week 2 even though I couldn't maintain each exercise for a full minute, specifically the push ups, flowing downward dog, v sit and planks. I did…

Is this the same as the Betty Rocker 30 day shred challenge?

It's just an assumption from what you're doing. Good luck!

I like pure protein in vanilla. It's about 130 cals and doesn't give me that powdery taste as much as other options. You can find them at costco. Good luck!
