I use it in protein shakes. I've also used it with out the protein in fruit smoothies.

I actually wanted to try these! I've heard that they are amazing! I was thinking of adding some pineapple and dark chocolate chips. We also do something that probably isn't the healthiest, but I love, it is wrapping a crescent roll on the end of a dole rod and cooking it over the fire until it is done. Then you can put…

Yes we are planning lots of hiking, swimming and mountain biking!! It is going to be a completely different camping trip than my last one where I sat at the camp ground the whole time. I am good on 'cold' foods. I do love the idea for the stir-fry, I even have an electric pan I could bring to cook it in. Thanks for the…

I love the omelet idea! I think Breakfast is the hardest for me, because I'm not a fan of cereal. I was planning on fruit and yogurt for breakfast, but having an omelet would be awesome! I found a recipe for bacon and eggs. You lay three slices of bacon next to each other across a Y shaped stick and make a 'bowl' shape…

I was also thinking of getting a dutch oven, I've heard good things about those.

I love this as well!! It is one of the things I am looking forward too! You guys are all awesome, thanks for all the great ideas.

Those are really good ideas!! Thanks so much! Last time I went camping I weighed really close to 300 lbs so I really wasn't worried about what I ate.

Hey Ladies. This was advertised on Facebook this morning and I thought I would share it here for you guys that might be interested. I honestly LOVE this bootcamp! Great people and a hard work out. Pete Thomas' Summer series of Slim U Bootcamps start next week! Sign up today to take your fitness to another level or lose…

This!! But something is ALWAYS better than nothing.

It is better than going over in sugar from candy bars. I think that the sugar that they mean for us to track is the kind that is not naturally in the food. Wish there was a way to do it.

ROTFLMAO I have the same problem when I get off of work. I am so hungry. I think it is because on my off days I have a protein shake for lunch and it keeps me full for hours, and at work I usually just eat a frozen dinner, yogurt and fruit or veggie. I like the chicken idea, just not a pound... maybe grill up some chicken…

When I was younger I did this too. I would use 1/2 cup papaya juice 1/2 banana 1 cup of strawberries (or mixed berries) 1/2 cup coconut milk OR water and ice Then just blend it all together with my vitamins. I also used grape juice and apple juice sometimes. It makes a lot though.

That is the reason that I can not run on a Treadmill, I feel like I sound like and elephant when running. But I don't know if it is just the way that I am running or if it is suppose to sound like that.

I think it would be. I don't run as 'far' as you do, but Cardio is Cardio and if that is something that you would do on a Cardio day then go for it.

^^Buy this one!!

I go to a bootcamp in Ann Arbor. It is through Rec and Ed and Pete Thomas from the Biggest loser coaches it. A new session is starting on June 5th. It is tons of fun and LOTS of great people! =D You should check it out. They run in the Arb in the Summer on Saturday mornings too.

Critical Mass has a huge bike ride on the third Friday of every month (this Friday coming up). They ride through Downtown Detroit. They meet at 630pm on the corner of Trumbull and Warren (ride starts at 7pm). It lasts about 1.5-2 hours. They go slower so that all types of people can keep up. Between 15-20 miles. Last month…

You have been doing great!! It took three weeks of eating higher calories for the scale to start going down. I even went up for a week before going down. Your body needs to adjust. As for all the fun stuff you are doing, it is part of life! Don't stop living just because you want to be healthy. It didn't happen over night…

That is basically what Apple sauce is. We buy it at the store and it is in a jar. But when it is made at the factory or Apple farm, they mash them up. You can use Egg Beaters to replace Eggs, it is just a lower calorie substitute. These brownies sound really good btw. I love the idea in the second one to add protein. Yum!

I can relate. It is getting easier lately, because I am seeing it in little things. Especially when I take pictures and compare them to when I started. It shocks me, because I still 'feel' like the same person.

This is what I do as well!! I just had one for lunch with 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, half a cup of strawberries, 1 banana, 2 scoops of Whey Protein (except my Whey Protein has both types in it), and ice. Just blend it all up in a blender. It was 434 calories with 56g protein, and 8g fiber. I am going to be full until…

What kind of sugar? IE where is it coming from Bread or Fruit? It makes a big difference in my opinion. If it is a natural sugar like what is in fruit I don't think it is a huge deal. Although I am sure some people would disagree with me. I just believe that eating fruit is way healthier than I was eating, so if it is…

My cousin had this surgery done, she was really over weight when she had it done. She passed away less than a year ago from all the complications. She basically starved to death because they messed the surgery up so bad, and none of the 'fixes' worked. She lived for 3 years after getting the surgery done and had over 6…

I go over on my protein all the time. I am actually trying to at the moment. I am aiming for 100+ in protein per day. But I work out hard and I need it for my muscles to recover properly. When I don't have it then my muscles hurt really bad.

Cucumbers are a $1 here. That is for only one. Until the summer and the farmer markets open, then they will be 4 or 6 a $1. What gets me is Artichokes, they are like $5 a pound... =(

I agree with this!! My strap never slips with my Polar.

I make this but I use Raspberry walnut Vinaigrette instead of sugar and dill. It is so good and you really do not need much of the dressing for the whole thing.

This may sound crazy, but I'm not sure you are eating enough calories.. Is that what MFP is telling you to eat? Are you eating your exercise calories back?
