Best meal replacement or protein shake
I am interested in a meal replacement or protein shake. I have heard people talk about shakeology and myoplex a lot on here. I really want something without artificial sweeteners (stevia is okay) and not too many ingredients that aren't really food. Also, I am losing weight right now and becoming much more active (doing…

Bulletproof Coffee
Has anyone tried bulletproof coffee? I made it this morning for breakfast and it is super tasty. I'll let everyone know how I feel later from this tasty breakfast. Not sure how full it will keep me, but its supposed to be a great, sustaining breakfast. In case you don't know what on earth I am talking about, here is the…

260 days on MFP, 29lbs gone with pics
260 days ago I joined MFP. I think I have lost about 25lbs since joining and about 4 lbs before that. I was going to wait until thirty, but I needed photo proof of my weight loss and thought I would share while I was at it. My short story: I was slowing gaining weight in 2010 and 2011. In 2011, there was a terrible loss in…

raw whipping cream
Anyone else tried raw whipping (or heavy) cream in their coffee or otherwise? I got some from a local store and it is very, very thick, much more so than I am used to with the organic stuff I usually buy. It also seems to have a slightly sour note to it (like yogurt) and I am wondering if this is normal? Or has my cream…

Paleo Breakfast Casserole
Hello there! I just found this group and decided to post this recipe for paleo breakfast casserole that I have adapted from Robb Wolf's site. This heats up really well, so I like to make it at the beginning of the week and eat it every day. Sometimes I add sausage (though I'm trying to find a better brand than I am…

Huge milestones for me!
Last week I hit 20 pounds lost, which puts me halfway to my goal weight of 160! Since July, I have lost three inches from around my waist (belly button area) and two sizes in my jeans (14 to a 10)! I put my weight into a BMI calculator today, and I am officially out of the overweight category! I feel so motivated to…

First big NSV!
Since July 20, I have lost three inches from around my belly button!!! I measured around my waist, about two inches above my belly button, and I lost about 2.5 inches from there! I'm so glad I took these measurements, because I haven't been able to see my weight loss in the mirror very much. My clothes fit better, but my…

Spicy Peanuts
Has anyone tried the Planter's Five Alarm Chili peanuts? I just bought them because I wanted something with a little kick, but no extra sugar and they are super tasty! They are a bit spicy and they are dry roasted. If you like spicy and peanuts, I recommend them. Disclaimer: not paid or anything by Planters, I just really…

Maple Pumpkin Granola (lower-fat)
I posted this recipe in another thread and it generated some interest, so I thought I would share. This recipe still has some added fat, but way less than anything that you find in the store. You can added different fruits or nuts if you want, I'm just allergic to many of them so I leave them out. Maple Pumpkin Granola…

I climbed a mountain!
Since it is so nice out and I live in such a beautiful place for hiking and mountains, I challenged myself to do a hike today. I used to climb Mt. Monadnock in NH when I was younger, and I decided I wanted to do this. I DID IT! I climbed the mountain to the very top! It was a 2.2 mile hike up. Half was on a dirt road and…

A bit stuck
So, right now I am stuck at 195. I have been at this weight for about a week. I am not really upset about it because I didn't eat well this weekend and stayed at this weight. I just find it amazing that I have not gone up or down. I'm hoping to see the scale start to move (hopefully the numbers go down!!) pretty soon! Any…

My new obsession! Do you have one?
My new obsession is coconut milk drink! I love, love, love the taste of it and drink it straight from a glass. I've always hated the taste of plain milk and am loving this alternative. I know its not the most unprocessed thing in the world, but it tastes so great. I can't drink soy or almond milk so its a good choice for…

hello :)
Hello everyone! I just joined the site and I began my weight loss journey about 2 weeks ago. I've been tracking my food in other ways and will continue to do that, but I love the community here after looking around a bit. So far, I've lost 3 pounds. I've been walking and watching my diet. I just started the 30 Day Shred…
