Yes, but the chia seeds in your smoothies are providing additional calories, and a bit of protein. You're also using a lot of fruit, and therefore consuming more. I more meant that 300 calories for a smoothie is good if you're going for a meal, while 150 calories for a smoothie is better as snack, not a meal, which is what…

You seem like you have a good head on your shoulders, and you understand that these meal replacement shakes are not the most sustainable option for weight loss. Meal replacement shakes in my opinion pale in comparison to good food. I wouldn't use them. That being said, they do work. They're convenient, and you don't have…

If you cut the greek yogurt out, I don't think a smoothie with just fruit and almond milk would sustain you for breakfast. Personally, I love smoothies, and I too make mine with almond milk, but I treat mine more as a snack than a meal because they tend to fall around 150 calories. If you're adding greek yogurt, which is…

This. I have no problem getting to just below parallel, but as soon as I try to go any lower, my butt winks, or so I hear that's what it's called, so I've stopped going down lower than just below parallel because frankly, I have no idea what this butt "winking" is or how it can negatively affect my body. Also I'm Latin and…

Also glad someone shared the lid trick. My boyfriend taught me that one three years ago. I couldn't make an omelette before then either. Can't eat an omelette on the way to work though! I'm hoping someone can share some insight on oven reheating and then I'm totally making these babies on my next grocery trip because I'm…

Amazing idea! Will have to give this a try for an easy breakfast. Quick question: I don't have a microwave, do you think reheating these in the oven would cause them to dry out?

I'm using the TDEE method now so I don't log my exercise, but when I did, I used the MapMyRun app (or MapMyFitness, MapMyWalk, they're all the same), which gave me a better view of my walking speed/time/distance, and it syncs with MFP. I always assumed I walked at a moderate pace, but according to the app my average…

Yuck! Blegh. Bubblegum, the old school pink kind (Got me thinking of things kids like haha)

Are these like audiotapes for going on walks? Or are they DVDs you watch inside, or outside? I'm a little confused, but also intrigued. Congrats on taking the steps to becoming active!

Not even close. I'm still going with Scottish-Canadian. Am I close?

American. By the way, I'm not American.

I think calling it a cheat day has negative psychological effects, and makes it feel wrong. I think it you want to eat less throughout the week and "save" those calories to eat more on one day, it should be seen as a reward, not "cheating." If done correctly, I think it works. Myself I don't do that. I just stick with my…

Yum! Poutine!

American-Scottish Edit: I half cheated and look at your profile. So, Canadian-Scottish.

Double yuck! Enchiladas verdes

I hate spaghetti, weirdly enough. Love linguine for meat sauces, or spaghettini for seafood sauces, but spaghetti is just all wrong! It doesn't grab sauces quite right. Tamales are the bomb! Smoked salmon

40? I'm guessing based on your sheets, since I can't see a head!
