Don't they just want to torment us? Really? :s :D Hmm ok.. I'll up the fat and lower the carbs.. I don't seem to reach my carb goal anyway. You convinced me.... Now............................ What kind of fat? :| There are so many! Though I'm not a fan of the expensive all organic -fill in strange seed name here- kind of…

Jup, love me some beans =) (all kinds). I'd especially like to learn a nice bean soup for the winter! One that fits the budget though.. Haven't been able to find that yet.

@kommodevaran Ahh, you found one of the best Flemish (Dutch) cooks in my country, he absolutely ADORES to throw fat on everything :D . Maybe I should follow his example a bit more. I never dared trying his recipes out because they often have so many (expensive) ingredients... But hey, I might as well try to find some…

@dubird LOL, I love that title. :D I am SO going to look for that!! And yes, I completely agree! I actually have been cooking for myself for the past year! It just tastes.... Meh. Thanks for taking the time to comment! @kommodevaran I couldn't agree more with you. I crave pizza, just because I want something that tastes…

@queenliz99 Aww thank you! Going to check it out right now :smiley: @kommodevaran Peanut butter and cheese.. Something I won't give up. Sorry about the diary, changed it! I'm on 1500, slowly losing some weight (I'm not overweight, just want to get more lean). And well the problem I often have with food is that it just…

@kommodevaran Absolutely true what you said about the fat! However, my goal at the end of the day says around 50g of fat a day.. For me that doesn't seem to leave much fat for cooking (10g at most). You can look in my diary if you want to, it should be open (some stuff is in Dutch though, English ain't my mother tongue).…

Also, I am mainly looking for nice dinner and treats recipes!

5'3 as well, not too tall for the shorties club, right? :D

Keep on going, you are a true inspiration!! (And a true hottie if I may say so)

I will! ^^

I get what you mean. Not only does tracking require time and effort, it also can be a bit shameful around other people. When I stayed with my mom and her partner for a while, they both got upset at me for cooking my own meals... (They are both very overweight, eating one of those meals probably puts me over my daily goal…

I'll baby it :smile:, thanks! Yeah, stretching sounds like a good idea for now. I might actually be too stiff for real exercise. Oh the wonders of sitting in front of a computer during my teenage years...

Sounds like a good idea, better safe than sorry he? The pain has become a bit worse, now my whole right foot seems to hurt. No running for me today! I hope it's nothing too serious, but I will get myself checked before I continue working out. I can keep stretching (with a light warm-up), right? Thanks for the advice!

Oh by the way, English isn't my mother tongue so sorry if there are any mistakes in my spelling and/or grammar!

I might start using protein powder as soon as I'm able to hit the gym (I'm training at home now, so I have more time to prepare breakfast). So thanks for letting me know about the product! 10g of fiber doesn't hurt either, :) Hm actually, yoghurt and quark bother me the most. Milk is fine as long as it comes with something…

20?

A mango, a banana, some of your favorite yoghurt, a bit of your favorite milk, there ya go.

Stay ^^

Nice profile picture!

Feel free to add me, I'll motivate you the best I can. :smile:

I'll try that, thank you all :). I didn't know that MFP could do that, awesome!

My father when I saw him the past week. "Yeez, you are getting a tummy. Better lose it!" I'm 5f'3 and 119 pounds... Thanks dad.

Oatmeal with milk, an apple and some peanut butter, pretty high in protein (if I need more, I put in an egg white) and delicious.

40g of oatmeal = 144 cal An apple (100g) = 54 cal 15 g of peanut butter for a topping = 95 cal 200 ml skim milk = 66 cal -- Very early snack (right after breakfast, I was feeling a lil hungry this morning) 170g of strawberries = 54 cal 80g of blueberries = 46 cal = 459 cal

I started yesterday, looks like a great program that's actually doable! :bigsmile:

Well it's called a lifestyle change for a reason. :ohwell: Just try to keep it up, after a while it should become a second nature.

This thread made me realize that I can't cook!

Thanks for the great feedback! You all have given me some extra motivation to get the strength I want without needing two jobs to support it!

Hmm, also if you really want to build some muscle later on? I've been told over and over again that you need weights for that. Of course I don't want to be a bodybuilder, but my dream goal would be some really muscular glutes and a light sixpack wouldn't be bad either. :laugh: All the exercises you've mentioned are great…

Great, now I can actually start making a plan. Thanks for the advice! Three days of full body workouts and three days of cardio, that sounds doable! So when these workouts get too easy, then I can move to splitting.. That makes sense.
