Hello! I’d love to join this group! I currently work out at a gym that designs 45 min workouts, mix of cardio and strength. It’s called Elite Personal Fitness. I try to go 4-5 days a week. I also have been meaning to start my at home routine up again and loveee Jillian!! I’m going to try to make doing a home dvd every day…

I just did cool sculpting and my lady said it can take up to 90 days to see the full results

Good morning everyone! I'm new to this community part of mfp and just started keto a few days ago and already lost 5 pounds! I'm looking forward to this journey esp since I found this group!

I've done it before and lost 10 pounds. I restarted 2 days ago. It's important to have high fat, moderate protein and very low carb. If you eat too much protein it's converted and processed by the body as sugar. Pick up some ketosis urine test strips to make sure you're on track.

The instant kind is designed to dissolve in the water you make it with, so if you use dry regular coffee, I dont think it'll dissolve....BUT I'm sure you could take 4-6oz of brewed ice coffee and use that instead and it'll be fine...just I wouldnt add the extra water :) Otherwise i'd be afriad you'll get a crunchy shake!…

I also gained...1.4lbs I'm so getting that discouraged/frusterated feeling because I've been hovering over the same 3 pound window since we started. I've been to the gym every weekday and even walked the 2.5 miles back to my car after the monster truck event. Also, I tried staying home this weekend instead of going to…

Jacque--you so gave me the idea to make a wedding count down ticker! You rock! Thanks :)

Eh oh well--sometimes that happens. Especially if you're doing a good amount of weight training you wont see a change because your body composition is changing. I stayed at home this weekend so I'm excited to be able to weigh in first thing in the am--however...I ended up having a few glasses of wine (which was easily…

Not to change the subject or anything...but today's Sunday and I'm at my house today for the first timr in weeks! (rather than spending the weeked at Kyle's). I was helping my sister and mom put the favors and invitations together friday night and yesterday, Kyle and I went to see the Monster Truck Jam at the Carrier Dome.…

Hey! I'm glad you ended up finding this site because it's such a valuable resource and community. I found this site via browsing apps on my phone and then came across the actual web site. I've utilized message boards/"weight loss online communities" before but I've never experienced anything quite like this one. I'm…

Calorieninja---How did you change your screen name but keep all your info the same? I want to change mine because my wedding date changed. It's now going to be June 23, 2012 and it's set this time woot woot!

1 scoop vanilla whey protein powder (I use generic Top Care brand) = 110 cals, 20 g protein 8oz skim milk= 80 cals, 8g protein instant coffee= negligible cals (like 2) :happy:

Something to keep in mind with cholesterol that many people are unaware of is that it really depends on how the food is prepred/paired with. For example, a hard boiled egg has insignificant levels of fat, especially saturated and transfat. Same with plain shrimp, like in a shrimp cocktail. Thoses foods are perfectly…

Happy Hump Day--Going strong and ready to crush Monday's weigh in!

sounds yummy! Just printed it off :)

I too stayed the same. If anyone watches the biggest loser show...you all know how week 2 usually goes. I myself am battling a weekends issue, but I have to say that I am making progress towards getting my eating/exercise patterns under control so to me, that's progress. Unfortunately, I have to spend more time at the gym…

crystal lite drink packets PB2 (the best peanut butter everrrrrr at only 45 cals per 2T and still 5g protein, yet minimal fat and sugar) quinoa hummus (especially with cucumber slices) deli flats/sandwhich thins greek yogurt (which can be the base of a healthy veggie dip when mixed with herbs/spices) Frozen blueberries (in…

For the exercise cal ? : I try to stick with my regular allowance, but on the days I feel, like really just NEED some extra fuel, I'll go ahead and eat some back. For instance last night....I have 2 servings of pb2 as a treat/snack before bed because I just knew I needed that extra protein for a good recovery. So I try not…

Andfor everyone going with skippy natural (or any pb for that matter) check the label!! If you see HYDROGENATED, or partially hydrogenated anything....that's trans fat. The reason theres no value for trans fats on the label is because for 1 serving, theres an insufficient amount of trans fat. But say you have more than one…

google pb2 and youll see, i think it's the 2nd link down, for their website...bell something? I didn't like the idea of not being able to buy 1 jar, (they make you order in combos) then the shipping costs almost as much as what you're paying for the product....but theres a link that shows where you can find it locally. I…

PB2!!!!!! Theres only 45 calories for a regular 2 TBS serving, 5g protein, very little sugar, sodium compared to the regular kind. It's actually in powder form (comes in a reglar size pb jar) and you mix 2TBS with 1 TBS water (or till u get the consistency you like) and tah dah....great way to save calories and still get…

I BOUGHT IT!!! I got a jar of the regular and the chocolate! I found it at my local green planet grocery which was awesome since the website was going to charge the same price to ship that I would have paid for the product! WOOT WOOT

Ive been back on track and going strong after this weekend. Life is good, and I'm going to work hard, and actually commit to my health, my plan, and my teammates to get a good number on the scale this week!

YES! I just almost ordered it online...and yes, the shipping was as much as the product...but i clicked on the link to find it locally in stores and it's in the organic grocery store right down the street!! Awesome! I'm going to get it tomorrow and let you know how it is!

i also like the pb idea! I've done that before and it was fantastic. the other day i was craving chocolate pb and I was experimenting with oatmeal....took 1/2c dry quick oats and made the oatmeal with water. Then I added 2-3T unsweeted cocoa powder (the kind for baking), 2 pkts splenda and a tsp or 2 of peanut butter OMG!…

cucumber slices with original tribe hummus is my favorite!!! also: cottage cheese greek yogurt celery and peanut butter (natural is better, but don't over do it) apple with pb banana with pb (can u tell i'm obsessed with peanut butter!)

ANYTHING chocolate peanut butter!! ...I actually discovered skinny cow's PPB chocolate ice cream sandwhiches!! I'll spend 150 calories to get THAT dessert fix! mm hmm

I also tried watching the season premier of shedding for the wedding on the CW. I don't know how I feel yet about that show. I thought it was goign to be awesome, especially since I'm getting married this year, but It was hard to follow and I actually ended up falling alseep thru the rest end of it!

Oh yea! I'm on alliej's team and we're so kicking some BOOTY this week! I'm back into the swing of healthly living! Re-started my couch to 5 K plan this morning!

Ya I hear ya! I'm not so big on the new trainers either because it seems like they only do kickboxing type routines...which are good, but theres no variety
