Not an accountant, but owner of a small business for 14 years and I'd be happy to help if I can!

I agree that protein bars are mostly garbage. Instead, eat lean meats, nuts, white cheeses, eggs. Greek yogurt has a good amount of protein too, but lots of sugar in it. I think any of the above mentioned things are good for pre-work out too, along with a peice of fruit to keep your sugar level up. My concern is, why are…

A tight but not overly muscular body. But with this must come brains. If he's not intelligent, it's a major turn off.

Oh, and also, for healthier meals, if you are able, I try to cut up veggies, fruits, lean meats, make tuna salad each Sunday. That way, it's easier to have a healthy meal all week long, since the prep work is already done!

I empathize with you. It have two young children and work as both a nurse and also as the office manager for my husband's busy painting company. For the first couple of years after having kids, I worked out "when I could find the time." Now, I get at least an hour a day, and my family knows that this is Mommy's time. How…

Diet is highly effective for lowering the number on the scale, but exercise is what keeps your insides healthy. Therefore, you live a longer, healthier life. And you look better doing it, cuz that muscle may weigh more, but it looks better than someone thin and without much muscle mass. For the best results, you really…

A lb a week is a good, steady pace. You may want to try adding some weight lifting. The more muscle you have, the more effeciently you burn fat. Start with free weights t home ig that makes you more comfotable. It is great that you are getting more protein, but you may also want to monitor your sugar intake. It is easy to…

in I've got 80 days to lose weight & feel great...HELP! Comment by nursemom27 September 2011

I say go for it now. Just because you are older doesn't mean that it'll be more difficult to lose the baby wt. I know that it has been a struggle for me after having two kids close together, but my first child was born when I was 25 and I lost the wt in 9 months. I then got pregnant again and it wasn't so easy. Anyway, you…

I started off reluctant to put in my late night snacks. But then guilt got the best of me. Now I usually don't have late night snacks. I find myself now over estimating my portion sizes when it's not convenient to measure- and that way I know I'll stay on track. That, and posting thoughout the day is helpful. If I see I'm…

in Confession... some days I don't want to enter all my food... Comment by nursemom27 April 2011

A few things that I hope are helpul: *If you are okay with eggs, there is no higher quality protein out there. Egg beaters are a good alternative if you want to avoid the cholesterol in the yolk. *Nuts are also a great source of protein. *Greek yogurt is high in protein, but the flavored varieties can be high in sugar. You…

in Having a hard time eating enough protein Comment by nursemom27 April 2011

Egg whites, english muffin with nutella spread, protein shakes, or grek yogurt- it has twice the protein and half the sugar of regular yogurt. Just make sure you start the day with a high protein, low sugar meal to help curb cravings throughout the day.

My husband is the type of guy who can eat 5000+ calories a day and maintain a BMI of 18. Not fair, is it? But, if your hubby is snacking on junk all day, it's not healthy, regardless of his weight. He doesn't want diabetes or cardiac disease later on. If he's receptive, sit down and talk to him about making changes in BOTH…
