Absorbable protein?
How much protein can a normal person's body absorb at one time? If they were to have a protein shake before or after a workout does it make any difference on how much protein they are able to absorb? I know I am not normal and please don't tell me to ask my doctor's because they aren't really much help when it comes to…

Turbo Fire what's it like?
Do you do turbo fire? What is it like? I have it but don't have hours to sit down and go through it at the moment. I couldn't do level 2 of 30 DS, I have a bad knee and it was killing it.

NSV! Weightloss is contagious!
My whole family has had to make some adjustments as I try to manage my CI. I do most of the cooking and I don't make special meals for the kids, they eat what I eat. I am extremely concerned about their health because as each of them starts to reach their teens they were putting on weigh. I don't restrict their diets at…

Can't do level 2

Mini muffins in half a minute!
I used the muffin in a minute recipe and split it into this cute little dish I got at the dollar store (2 of them for $1) to make my eggs in. These only needed to cook for 30-40 seconds THEN... I added strawberry cream cheese and some bacon to it! OMG!

Agghhh some people make me want to poke my eyeballs out!
Why is it that we can't get through one single thread without some anti low carber throwing their two cents down someones throat. I don't ever post anything un-supportive on a low cal thread. I am here to be supportive in everyone's journey to become healthier but these people are driving me mad!

Wow, unexpected NSV!
I went to work today and put on my arm strap phone holder thing and it fell off, normally I just pull it on and the elastic band holds it, my arms are too fat to actually close it. Well they were anyways, I actually had to tighten the velcro and it folded over a good inch or so and wasn't pinching my arm! So as soon as I…

Crispy, crunchy rutabaga chips are a success!
Roasted chicken wings, rutabaga chips, spinach, feta and cherubs OMGoodness these are soooo good, and so crispy and crunchy. Much better for you than pringles too, they do carmelize pretty quickly but the color doesn't make them taste burnt. This was less than 1/8th of a med. root fried in evoo until brown. I used a Joyce…

I am really struggling with staying above 1200 even without taking out what I burn in my workouts. I had gastric bypass 8 years ago and am struggling to lose what I have gained back.
