I use this: http://www.gardenoflife.com/Products-for-Life/Foundational-Nutrition/RAW-Protein.aspx I can't necessarily say that it's the "best" because I've only tried a few…I do like that it comes in plain/unsweetened bc I don't usually like the artificial sweeteners in other low-carb powders. It blends well with frozen…

I'm a morning rower…During the season I get up around 4:30am. I force myself to pretend that snooze does not exist. When the alarm rings the first time---I get right up and start getting dressed. I get dressed before I even bother to go to the restroom. Once my clothes are on, I pretty much feel obliged to keep moving… At…

I do this all the time. If the person is a close friend who understands my commitment to health, I might mention the gym… Not everyone needs to know all the details about why you aren't joining them for XYZ. Sometimes I just say, "Sorry I can't join you. I have a personal commitment at that time." Anyone who asks for…

Finding filling smoothies has been a challenge for me. I've found three ingredients that make a big difference: 1) frozen mixed berries (strawberry, blueberry, raspberry, blackberry combo); 2) half of a small avocado; 3) 1/2 to 1 cup of 0% Greek yogurt. The berries are fiber-filled but low calorie… The avocado is high in…

Hi, feel free to add me. I am at 185ish now, and have 15lbs to go. (I'm not sure if that counts as "not much to lose" from your perspective…). Either way, I consider myself "driven" and would be happy to support you! Others in this feed may add me as well. Best wishes meeting your goals, everyone!

I don't prefer to run in the cold either, but I feel SO good afterwards... One of my favorite items: Eddie Bauer convertible gloves/ mittens. They provide that coziness of mittens but don't restrict you from easily using your fingertips (e.g., for mp3 player/ phone manipulation). I got mine at an EB outlet. I think I paid…

I was in London this summer for a few days and really enjoyed the Tate Modern Museum and the Geffrye Museum. Also, if you have time/budget, I'd recommend doing a biking tour in Cambridge. Check travel advisor.com for biking tour references. I think I went with the top one listed on there... Have fun!

I'd like to join! Thanks for organizing!

Ann Arbor- anyone can feel free to add... Re: working out when it's cold- I ran outdoors last winter since it was pretty mild, but I'm doing Crossfit indoors now and LOVING it!

I highly recommend rowing as a great full-body workout. When done properly and with sufficient effort, it burns more calories per minute than many other cardio. exercises while toning your muscles. However, if you use the machine even the slightest bit incorrectly, you can really do some damage (especially to your lower…

I'd like to join! Thanks!

Congrats on your loss, and I'm glad that you had a positive experience at Gold's :) This was a good reminder for me to find a nearby Bod Pod; I had access to one regularly as a college athlete, and I've wondered how my composition has changed since (well, for sure I've gained fat, but other than that...). Thanks for…

I started about 1.5 months ago and I enjoy it. It's tougher than you average "boot camp" course, and each day is a challenging as the day before because the "workout of the day" is always different. I'm a little nervous about losing my cardio. capacity though...You might run a mile here or there, but I really do wonder…

In the U.S. some people call half-and-half (milk + cream) "creamer." There are also non-dairy products (powdered or liquid) called "creamer" that mimic milk.

Hi! I would love to join the challenge! What does it entail? How many weeks or months? Please let me know what I have to do in order to participate. Thanks! Looking forward.

I would add veggies to EVERY meal and/or snack so that no one can avoid them completely. You can start small and gradually increase them, too. Here are a few suggestions: Breakfast: add peppers, tomatoes, spinach, mushrooms, onions, salsa, etc. to scrambled eggs or omelettes; hash brown potatoes with any of the…

I think that in the beginning it's important to do whatever keeps you motivated to get up the next day and do it again. If cardio only does the trick for you, then I'd say go that route. So I wouldn't necessarily say that you are "wrong" if your goal is to lose weight and be healthier overall. However, if your goal is to…

congrats! it's the small things that make a BIG difference..you're looking great! keep up the good work :)

My fat can be very stubborn, too. Most people would think I'm lying about how much I actually eat and workout; things just don't add up...If they did, I'd be at least 165 right now (I'm closer to 185). I started CrossFit training today, which is circuit training with weight lifting. This style of training tends to work for…

I appreciate MFP friends who give advice/feedback and encouragement, so feel free to add me! (and you are welcomed to comment on my "unclean" eating days... ;-) )
