I love vanilla protein powder and blueberries in mine. I also put splenda in it. Or I will put banana, brown sugar splenda and cinnamon....along with the protein powder. I have to have protein at every meal, so when I want oatmeal, I add the powder and it does make it very tasty!! Sometimes I add Fiber One cereal to it…

I still get catalogs from Lane Bryant and The Avenue. I love throwing them in the trash!! Great feeling!!! I remember vividly! Congrats on a great weight loss success!!

I personally would be so hungry at 1000 a day. I usually workout pretty hard and have increased my metabolism by doing this. Right now, u r just starting. If you keep eating only 1000 cal a day and working out, u will eventually need more food to feed your metabolism. I know that is hard to believe but it is true. I would…

I eat it all!! I love I can't believe it's not butter spray, spenda, brown sugar Splenda, fat free yogurt! Fat free sour cream, pure protein bars, special k bars, protein powder, walden farms calories free condiments.....I love them!! I can enjoy good w/o calories or fat....I don't care what people say about it. I am…

I do pig out on special occasions. Like Christmas and Thanksgiving I let it all go! I plan on probably eating too much on Super Bowl. We go to a party and there will be yummy stuff. My rule is to not let mt eating get out of control for more than 2 days. After 2 days it can easily get put of control and the wreight gain…

Whatever you like and that fits into your eating plan is good. I don't see any reason of changing it if it is working. I have the same breakfast most days. Eggs are good for you and they usually hold me best til lunch. I don't think it is bad to have the same breakfast over and over

I usually hit between 40 and 50 g of fiber a day! It is very good for you and is not bad if you go over......

I usually workout on an empty stomach....first thing in the am at 5 am.....or if I workout later on the weekends, I will have a carb and a protein. To build muscle and lose fat, eat about 100 g of protein a day, and plenty of fruits, veggies and high fiber carbs.....you will see a huge difference! Plenty of water too! Good…

Find foods you like that are healthy. Eat protein!!! Make sure you have a protein at every meal, but also plenty of fruits, veggies and high fiber carbs. I try to not get anything that doesn't have fiber. Some days I can get 50+ g of fiber a day. The cool thing about this site is you can try new things and at the end of…

You have to have a positive attitude! Take it day by day....meal by meal. Do not beat yourself up for failing in the past...just put one foot forward and go for it without looking back! Attitude and positive mind set are key at losing weight!! If you are saying "I am going to try..l," it will never happen. Say I am going…

My alarm is set for 4:50 am....get up and JUST DO IT!!! It is finsihed and you can go throughout your day feeling like you have accomplished something and be proud of yourself!! I workout from 5 am to about 6:20.....good luck!

Spaghetti squash! Use it instead of pasta!! Very tasty!!

Insanity!! Asylum!! Anything Bob Harper!! Her is so much bretter than Jillian Michael (IMO)....I also enjoyed The Firm videos in the past. Shaun T and Bob kick my *kitten* almost every day!! They ROCK!,

Most of my coffee is like 5 cal each...and with sugar free creamer and Splenda it is a tasty snack!!

Bump

I pack my creamer concoction and take it with me. I put 2 tbls Of sugar free French vanilla creamer and sugar free coffee syrup and put it in a plastic container and take it with me wherever I go! I pack a lot of foods with me....snacks and stuff so I stay focused and won't get too hungry.

Sorry for the typos!! Splenda is what I use! French vanilla creamer! Love it! LOL!

I uses coffeemate sugar free frnch vanilla creamer. 2 tbls is 30 calories. Mini moo individual creamers are 10 cal each. I put tons of plenda in my coffee too. I also started using a Keurig and get tons of flavored coffee that is awesome!

You want the grams of total protein to be 80% or higher of total grams. I also look at the calories and try to keep it as low calories as possible. One of my favs is Body Fortress Super Advanced Whey Isolate. It is 130 calories for one scoop and 30 g of protein. I get it at Walmart.

I gained 8 lbs (according to my scale) and am hoping it will be off in a couple of weeks. You r right. Last year I was 160 and lost down to about 143. Now back up to 151. It is like my definition of fat has changed and the size of my "fat clothes" have changed. That mind shift is a great thing and allows us to stay on…

I have been doing insanity with a mix of spinning and weight workout dvd's (bob harper's workouts for example) fora year now. I did asylum from oct 24 thru nov 24 and I loved it! I now put an asylum workout in my roatation of dvd's thru out the week. I love insanity and am completely addicted!! I love asylum too. The…

I do the full insanity/asylum workouts. When I do a video for the first time, I might have to rewind it to catch on to the move but other than that I follow it. I would do what u can and have a goal to get thru the whole video w/o stoppng. Good luck!

Protein at every meal! Put protein powder in your oatmeal. Mix cottage cheese in with your yogurt. Exercise. Watch your carbs, protein, fiber and fat intake by watching your grams here on Mfp. Eat plenty of fruits, veggies along with high fiber carbs. Popcorn for snack. And change to diet soda!! Drink water!! Take it day…

Lots of healthy, high fiber carbs along with high protein diet. Probably eat 2500 cal and find a personal trainer to build muscle. Or try p90x. Great muscle build program.

Take it off! As long as you get back on the next day!! I do not allow my food binge days to last more than 2 days. I do it maybe once a month. My b-day in Oct. Thanksgiving.....1 day last week and I plan on eating on Christmas! When else can I have my grandmother's pecan pie?? Enjoy it but get right back on track asap!!

There is always room for injury with any type of at home workout. Have you ever tried Insanity, Asylum or P90X?? Boy, there is tons of room for injury there! I am sure these instructors will be very good at expalining the right form. I hope it isn't a down graded version of the live one! Knowing Beachbody, they will make…

I eat it s lot! I ear the light version. Only 80 calories and the favors are very tasty! I usually mix it up with cottage cheese or fruit.

You look so much younger!! Love your hair cut too! What a great accomplishment!!! Great job!
