I'm 49 and am in menopause. The Dr has me taking Femguard, primrose oil, and gaba. They have reduced the anxiety and hot flashes. Losing weight has been a struggle. I am hoping that it's my complete lack of motivation to get more active. The lack of libido did finally go away after I was on the supplements for about a…

I love my fitbit blaze for the sleep tracking information, and the long battery life. I will probably wait to switch to the Apple watch when they add a better sleep tracking to their system.

French fries dipped in tartar sauce.

I think Isopure toasted coconut tastes the best. I cannot stand drinking them, but this one I can get down. It also mixes well in smoothies and other recipes. For most of my protein I eat a lot of egg whites, chicken breast, and turkey. I also really like Premier Protein bars, they have 30g of protein per bar, but might…

Triple filtered. Once in through an inline carbon filter, through the softener, then filtered again in the fridge. Our well water has a tendency to get that "sulfer" smell and this seems to do the trick. At work I fill my bottle from the water cooler.

laughing cow cheese wedge and salsa. Or I shred chicken breast with a little BBQ Sauce. I love baked potatoes. :smile:

186.2 probably all water weight!! But it's gone!!

baked salmon and steamed broccoli, I haven't decided on a carb yet.

:) On it!! I already drink a gallon of water a day, so that one was already accomplished. the 10 minutes of walking will be just what I need to kick me in the behind and get moving again.

pre pack "dinners" like sandwiches or wraps, or a salad and some chicken in a small cooler, then have a light snack when you get home. My daughter is a beast and will pre pack her entire day if she does not think she will be home to cook. I personally don't care for cold oatmeal or cold salmon.... but there are a lot of…

Hello! I have a very active sweet tooth, lol and Halloween candy is killing me. I sent all of our leftovers to work with my husband. I thought I had escaped, but then discovered that at my job all of the wives did the same so we have 3 times the candy here that I had at home...ugh. At least I have gotten it all moved to…

being able to wrap a regular size bath towel around myself.....awesome.

To feel better in my own skin, be healthy for myself and my family, and get rid of the knee pain!! I've already reduced blood pressure medication, so my goal is to be completely off of it!

Waterlogged is a good one. it reminds you with water sounds. :)

I use a macro based diet. and 30-45 minutes of exercise per day (6 days one rest day)when I stick to it I do really well, but the last six months I've been struggling with the workouts. My daughter is a bodybuilder, and have learned macros from her (she is a master of it ) I just need to refocus!!!

I'm Jeannie, from Kenai Alaska. I've lost 30lbs and have another 40 to go. I'm 48 years old and have four grown kids (one birth and three step) that are all our on their own now. So I'm an empty nester!! My husband and myself got a crazy notion that gutting an old house and rebuilding it while we live in it was a really…

Mine is open as well. I'm also looking for food ideas! go ahead and add me!

here is a link to the nutritional difference. Pink is lower in fat and calories. Here in Alaska, the Sockeye is sought after by sportsmen since the meat is more similar in taste and color to King salmon, but lower in fat. the pink is something that we typically don't go after unless it is to can, since the meat tends to be…

I would love that. I've only found it on "paid subscription" type recipe sites. I would love to know of some of the free sites that do this!

Hands down the best thing with canned is in the patty form, just change up the seasonings. we have made a "salmon loaf" before as well.You can also use it in a salmon salad for sandwiches, or a cracker spread. Here we have a lot of salmon in the summer so canning it is one of the ways we preserve it, besides freezing it.…

I'm not lactose intolerant, but I have never liked milk or yogurt. I choked it down as a kid. I finally developed a taste for greek yogurt thinking I was doing the "right" thing by eating it. My stomach was always rumbly, and noisy and many unpleasant trips to the bathroom. I gave up pretty much all dairy with the…

My minimum fiber is 25g and at least a gallon of water a day, or things don't move like they should.

Isopure banana cream, and the toasted coconut. Both yummy and I hate the taste of most protein powders

I'm 48 and had a hysterectomy when I was 35. It was the best thing I ever did. I didn't realize how awful I was feeling until after I recovered from the surgery. My worst time of day is evening when I am winding down. I seem to crave ice cream on a regular basis, lol. Add me if you like!

Halibut or Sockeye Salmon on a cedar plank with lemon pepper, cooked until just opaque. mmmmm

I'm on Week 2 Day 2. I've always hated running, but I really like this prgram!! The time just flies by.
