I love atkins bars and quest bars. however I realized they do slow my loss. so I mixed up protein powder, ground almonds, ground flax, stevia, cocoa. then I melted butter,coconut oil, vanilla extract, coconut extract and mixed it up. if it is too dry, i add a little coconut milk. I used about 2 tbs each of the dry stuff…

awesome! you look BEAUTIFUL!!! and healthy!

I read that 10 minutes at noon 3 times per week gives most people all the D they need. The best rays are at midday. this reminds me to get outside for a bit.

Update...I did great at the gym with BPC only as my breakfast! That was at 9:30am. I didn't get to eat anything until 2pm and I was okay. I was getting pretty hungry...but I made it just fine! woohoo. I am ADDICTED!

well Day 3 on the BPC. I am headed to the gym to workout with a new trainer. I am a little nervous about a heavy workout without solid food for breakfast. Anyone tried this before a big workout. I don't wanna fizz out. However, it makes me full and almost 'HIGH". I am a child of the 60's and this drink brings back…

so they are just jealous cuz you look like Johnny Depp's little brother~ GOOD for you. But you do not need to lose anymore...you got it just right! Be careful and eat enough to maintain with the cycling. I know that burns a lot. YAYAY for healthy you! When they make stupid comments, just laugh! and no way that your…

Well, I tried it today. Changed it a bit as butter in coffee sounds more wierd than coconut oil. ha. I already bought the low-fat kerrygold cuz it was all I could find, so I will use until I get the other. I used 1 tbs of the butter, 1 tbs coconut oil, 1 tbs heavy cream and a touch of stevia. I warmed the butter/coconut…

Look up 'quest bars'. They are AMAZING. You can buy them in some health food stores, I just order online. Get over $50 and shipping is free. They have 17 grams of FIBER. around 24 carbs and 20 grams of protein. Many of them use a type of sugar alcohol that does Not CAUSE gastric issues. Some have splenda, so I don't get…

I just went out and bought some organic butter. I found the Kerrygold, but it says reduced fat??? so I hope that is okay. I guess I am a hillbilly when it comes to coffee. Someone mentioed get a "quality coffee" so the beans don't have mold. I don't know what that is??? I just drink Folgers. Do I have to get beans and…

Number ONE....DON"T worry about the swimsuit. If you are really uncomfortable, put a tshirt on over it (and shorts, if you want). The pool is awesome if you have access to one. When I first started swimming I couldn't swim 2 laps (down and back) without resting at every end of the pool. I can now swim 30 minutes nonstop.…

If I dont feed my hubbe enough, he will disappear....152 lbs at 6 foot tall! I made turkey meatloaf the other day, chopped veges tiny to go in it. then separated into two piles. I used flax seeds to hold my loaf together instead of the crumbled garlic bread I used in his. I made gravy and potatoes for him and roasted…

I am so jealous! Naw, I am SOOOOO THRILLED FOR YOU. That is the best news ever, along with your AMAZING LOSS. You are such an inspiration and someday, I hope to have a post where I get to dump my met too! You ROCK, my friend.

hate it too. nasty sour stuff. give me Krogers low-carb yogurt anyday and I recently moved to a place where there is NO Krogers for 100 miles......

have turkey or chicken breast cooked and ready to grab for a snack. also love Quest bars (6 fat, 24 carbs, 20 protein, around 170 calories and taste like CANDY). EAS Advantage Carb Control Shakes (quick snack for 3 fat, 6 carb and 17 protein),only 110 cals)..

jimmie dean turkey sausage crumbles are awesome in omletts. It doesn't take much to get a punch of sausage flavor. I add lots of veges andfat free feta cheese too. And the sausage adds the only salt you will need so don't add any more!

Fitbit is a great step counter. It is not a body bugg. I got my Body Bugg a month ago. I am HOOKED. I will not mind paying the $6.95/month fee at all at the end of my six month freeby. I am kicking myself for not getting this a year ago when I first thought about it. I have struggled with weight loss for that year and only…

You are so lucky to be 46 and starting this! I am 58 and wish I could get back a lost FAT decade or two. Don't give up. Exercise gets sooooo much easier. One step, one day, one pound, one inch at a time. I began at 250, couldn't walk more than 1/2 mile. Then got to 1 mile in 30 minutes. Then in 20....Now I am doing 3 miles…

good for you! I bet that felt great. Just don't overdo it.....(okay, the Mom in me just comes out unbidden....) Take care and stay well!

I used them WITH green coffee bean. couldn't tell a thing. certainly didn't help me lose any more than a measly 4 lbs/month. I used to lke Dr. Oz. Now I just think he likes to hear himself yak.

yes, what is ACE? and I would be your friend! I am 58.

have you added exercise to your lifestyle change? that helps a lot on the numbers! Thank goodness you found out. Just keep making good changes and you will get it under control. Good Luck

58 year old. need to lose 60 more. do the weight machines at 24hr fitness 3 times/week since feb. I have missed some weeks....sometimes several and then start again. I was doing heavier weights 3 times. 8 reps. I was told to lower weight and do 3 times, 15 reps. what do you think is best? I also do cardio: elliptical,…

hI TONYA. you can add me if you like. I have 60-70 to lose too. I just turned 58. I am trying to get remotivated. I gained back 10 of what my ticker says....but I just dont want to reset it. I want to fight to get back to that!

Absolutely loved the story. When you started describing the weather, it was beginning to feel eerily familiar.....Baytown gal, myself. I would like to be friends so I can read more of your postings. I am happily married to a 'Heights" guy! I enjoyed your narrative so much! You and your wife are lucky people and you are…

All I can say is you look amazing and WOW--45 pounds!

You can add ground flax seed and a little wheat germ too to bump up the fiber!

I just slice an apple, add a tiny bit of water and lots of cinnamon and 'steam' in a pan. Sometimes I 'sprinkle' brown sugar VERY lightly while cooking. These are DELISH. Haven't tried on pancakes. Just ate alone or better yet......as a topping for sugar free icecream. This is also awesome with a few chopped nuts!

YOU look amazing. What a wonderful story and thanks so much for sharing. You are an inspiration and I'm going to send you a friend request. I love postive buddies! I have lost 34 and have 50-60 to go!

I'm more worried about my tummy flab. I just try not to WAVE at anyone! heehee. I do lots of arm weights and they are toning....but I am over 50 soooooo I know there will be wings. I go crazy on The Biggest Loser when they do (enevitably) the famous body builder pose to show off their biceps! The floppy wings just…
