I make a smoothie every work day - using Bolthouse Farms Mango Protein juice, 1 banana, berries of choice & about 1/2 cup Greek yogurt. Delicious, you can use any juice but be careful of the sugars and try not to use a lot! Hope this helps!

Great tip, was considering getting a monitor as well. Having issues finding one that will synch to a Linux pc as well. :(

What an inspiration!! Yes I"ve lost about 7 lbs. so far just by cutting to 1400 calories & walking on my breaks.... so hoping for the best in this venture. Best of Luck to you!!

I'm considering protein powder and possibly having a smoothie for breakfast instead of plain yogurt & granola. It will take more time but could prep before bed possibly. I've used SlimFast shakes years ago before I was gluten-free and it worked but I was a lot younger and didn't feel like I was having a sugar-drop. I was…

Hi, I'm Dawn - 46 Single & loving life -- Gluten-free for medical reasons & healthier for about 4 years Love my family, boyfriend & cat -- enjoy being at home but love the outdoors Prefer to be in nature when exercising but live in Ohio & winter is coming! Goal: To lose weight, feel & look better. And be able to buy new…

Same here... :ohwell:

I'm still working on it... going to pump it up with some Yoga very soon. Vyiassa's are not my favorite but I'd rather do them than push-ups! If the weather prevails back to less rain, it would be great to bike ride. I prefer outdoor exercise. I'm going to look into a gym or indoor alternatives for the winter.

I applaud you for wanting to be involved in your son's eating habits but honestly if you don't need to be GF then there really is no medical reason to do it. Eating less processed food is always a good thing and replacing one for another kind is merely defeating the purpose. I've found that eating healthier means more…

Oh, why didn't I think of CANDY APPLES? BTW The Pioneer Woman's Halloween bark looks amazing too!!

Here in Ohio we make buckeyes which is a peanut butter & confectioners sugar combo dipped in chocolate... AMAZE-BALLS but about 150 calories a piece! Just like the Reese's anything, oh boy sinful and can't stop with it... LOVE LOVE LOVE PB! Granola is a great idea and I've got a new gluten-free cookbook from America's Test…

Love your last pic in the pool, I love to swim too! :happy:

Lots of great info here... You know the rule: shop the outside perimeter of the grocery store, where you find produce, meats & dairy. With fall coming, there is a lot of great recipes for soups! Add rice or potatoes by the bowl so that you can freeze any leftovers (they don't freeze well) or beans to add more filler to…

Let's do it! Feel free to friend me too! :flowerforyou:

For me! To look and feel better, live healthier and have more energy. To fight seasonal depression & hopefully make new friends along the way!

Youngstown here, would love to meet up with anyone who wants to walk, bike ride or swim!

Yep, eventually it will all be something you do everyday! Look back in a month to see all the small changes that add up! I started with a walk on my 15 minute break, now both breaks. My goal is to walk after work as well which I maybe do once a week. Logging whatever I put in my mouth has really helped. I drink more water…

Yes if I had to mow the lawn, I totally would! BTW I logged cleaning yesterday for the first time, because it IS a calorie burn! And it was the toughest workout since I started a month ago... I'm sore today. Exercise is exercise, weather you intended to or not!

I've been at this about a month now, and can use more friends for sure!!! Please add me ;o} Especially if you're into inspiring and supporting each other...

I'm in the same boat, my guy works a physical job and is loosing it too. Isn't it true that it's easier for men?!

I misread it, thought it said snuggling lol! But really I'd love to have you as a new friend! I'm new here too, and some days are harder than others. Still not sure what I'm going to do this winter!!!

I would definitely be very careful eating the pasta again at all. In fact, if at all possible cut it out of your diet along with any other processed grains for 3 weeks. I know it's a long time, but that's how I discovered my gluten allergy (advised by my Doctor). And my symptoms were much worse, so needless to say I'm much…

I know the bike trails around Youngstown are nice and relatively safe. It's best to have a buddy if possible though. Not a bad idea, maybe I'll go get my bike out of the garage after work today. Maybe I'll see you on the trails!

Yes I agree! I was a little disappointed when I saw how inactive the group seems. I'm viewing my 'diet' much differently and haven't ate out much with the exception of salad at lunch time. I'm open to new suggestions though. In addition to watching what I'm eating, I have to be careful with the gluten-free diet. So any…

Hello! I'm also gluten-free now for about 4 years! It's a lifestyle I've found, and I'm so much better for it too! I longer suffer from Fibromyalgia and all of the sub-categories that go with that.... truly amazing! Please feel free to add me as a friend. I love to share ideas and exchange recipes!
