Ok I never realized our almond milk contained Carrageenan. I am usually really good at reading the labels, I wonder if years ago it did not contain it. Sigh now I need to try a different brand.

If you have a whole foods or Sprouts near you they have it. If your grocery store has a health food section they might have it. I used to get it though Amazon prime free shipping, plus as a scheduled delivery discount. I don't think it is a prime item anymore and when you calculate it the savings is not what it was. So now…

Love Almond milk but only Almond Breeze. I prefer the 30 cal Vanilla. The kids like the Silk but I find it to be way too sweet and weird tasting. We use it as a replacement to cows milks as some in our family can't do cows milk. When the kidos were younger we used to do hemp milk it had better nutritional value than cows…

I can't wait to try the carrot cake one! Sounds delish. 1 cup Chocolate hazelnut milk 1 banana some almond butter or nut butter chia seeds optional scoop of protein powder ( I use Garden of Life RAW Protein) yummmo!

Hey there everyone, I took yesterday off from 30DS because after 6 days of level 2 my shoulders were killing me. So instead I took a long Flow yoga class and guess what area they were targeting? Yes that is right, shoulders. After tons of shoulder openers I am more sore today than yesterday! I am hoping I can make it…

I am on day 12 of the 30DS Level 2. :) Typically in my past this around day 15-20 is where I start to get distracted and end up doing something else. I would like to do 30 days this time around, so I am looking for support so I can complete this for the first time in 6 years. I think as long as you are doing something that…

I did not want to read and not respond. I myself skipped the phase one because I did not realize there was a phase one until 3 weeks in. LOL I had checked out the books from the library and they were all the cookbooks because the others on the diet were gone and none mentioned phase 1. Then I did not want to go back, I…

Please add me. I have been eating clean for years but I have evolved in what I define as clean as well. We organically garden and grow as much of our own produce in with growing season and then shop though organic coops throughout the rest of the year. This summer we moved to CO so I did not have a garden and I felt lost.…

I sent a request to OP, anyone else want to friend me just send me a request. :) My diary is always open, helps keeps me accountable.

My diary is open, but I am not sure I have the "right" answer. I typically go over my proteins and fats but not my carbs. If you check out my diary look at last week. We were out of town Friday-Monday so my schedule was a bit off. Typically I have oats and fruit for breakfast and a glass of almond milk. Then my lunch…

Not being able to see your diet and your activity makes it hard to make suggestions. Perhaps you are still eating foods high in salt? Are you drinking enough water? Maybe you need to add a little more activity?

How about wild caught salmon, butternut squash and cauliflower gratin, and a nice mixed green salad. I love this stuff! http://www.eatlifewhole.com/2012/02/roasted-cauliflower-gratin-with-butternut-squash/

My favs right now are Apples or carrots and almond butter glass of 30 cal vanilla almond milk greek yogurt greek yogurt dip and veggies (this is the best stuff ever Yoguri - Greek Styley Yogurt Ranch Dip) smoothies kind type bars (I make my own) perfect bars egg whites 1/2 sweet potato with greek yogurt nutballs with…

Without seeing your diet I am not sure what you like to eat but here are some suggestions: a quinoa pasta with sauce, tons of veggies, and a little lean meat. batches of a loaded chili (lots of veggies some beans and a little meat - it goes a long way and you can eat it by itself or top off a baked sweet potato/eggs with…

I will soon be in the same boat as you, next month I will have my 4th ACL reconstruction. I know you are bigger than I am so you can have more snacks but this is what I currently snack on and plan on continuing. Apples or carrots and almond butter glass of almond milk greek yogurt greek yogurt dip and veggies (this is the…

I have had 3 ACL reconstructions and will be having my 4th soon. I am not sure why you will be on crutches for so long on all of mine I was on crutches for 2 week tops and this next one may even be shorter. On all previous surgeries in therapy my therapist had me doing leg movements with resistance bands, wall squats, calf…

I just turned 40 and could stand to lose 20 Lbs. I have been on MFP for a while, though I have not been that active in the past months due to deaths in the family, tearing my ACL and a long distance move. SO here I am trying to take charge of my life again. I need to have my ACL fixed it will be my 4th ACL surgery (third…

That is great! I am on week one day 6, I have done it before and find it helps me create that habit. I like her abs CD and fat burning one as well because they are longer.

I have kept mine open and like that it holds me accountable. I was on MFP a year ago for a long time and then with a move and family deaths I quit taking care of myself. I am back to caring for myself and part of that is using my log to help me see what I am eating. If others want to look at then then, fine. If they want…

I am with you too, I work full time and have 2 kids. I recently went to working out of the house (40 hours a week) but before I had a 45 min commute each way, plus the time to pick up/drop off the kids at school so I know exactly how you feel. When I am being good and holding myself accountable I would always use my work…

I have used this one. http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/

I can't see your diary either..

My diary is open to friends too. Feel free to friend me. I eat about 85% clean but my downfall is chips and salsa. :( So I eat out every once and a while and also enjoy an adult beverage here and there. ;)

I love Chobani's plain non fat greek yogurt. I have also been known to add a tablespoon of Nutella to the Fage greek yogurt. :love:

Missouri, USA

All these are great and also the Nelson and Kemper Museum First Fridays at the crossroads is a great experience You can sign up for a tour at Boulevard Brewery The Woodyard is great BBQ Power and Light also have free concerts in the summers i am not sure when they start up. Sporting KC is our outdoor soccer team they might…

marking for later

I took a calcium and magnesium supplement when I was pregnant to help with my preterm labor contractions. It was a pretty large pill though so it might not be the best one for you.

I have started to add protein powder to my oats in the morning. On the low fat chocolate milk after, I have seen that posted quite a bit do you think chocolate hazelnut milk will have the same effect? I avoid cows milk as my boys are allergic and I don't want to tempt them. A friend gave me a little gel pouch (I have no…

Do you also do the meal plan or just the exercises?
