Your story inspired me the first time I ever read it, and it still inspires! I need to read it every day. Thank you for sharing.

That is so fantastic! I'm very happy for you! Keep up the great work.

I love avocados, too! I spread them on whole wheat toast and top with tomato slices, sea salt and pepper.

bump!

That's great!

Congratulations! Thank you for sharing.

Thank you!

Helpful information - thanks!

Thanks, Em! That was very encouraging and helpful!

I make a shake with Aria Vanilla Protein Powder, 1 cup lowfat or nonfat vanilla yogurt, banana, whatever fresh and/frozen fruit I have on hand, and 2 tablespoons whole ground flaxseed meal. Greek yogurt usually has more protein, so you could use it.

Congratulations and well done!!!

I think what is meant is that you can set your exercise calories to 0, which I did. Home/goals/customize your fitness goals/fitness goals/calories burned/week
