Are you reading the Schwarzbein Principle? She is a smart lady although I don't agree with all of her theories. However, I think she is right about menopause. Most women find it very difficult to lose weight after menopause.

Dee, as I was whipping up one of my smoothies this morning, I was thinking I might be able to come up with an eggnog one for the holiday. They make french vanilla protein powder but I'm not sure I would use enough of it to justify buying a whole container of it so I may try it with plain vanilla. I'm also not crazy about the idea of wasting a bunch of yogurt while I figure it out but I'll let you know.

:cheer: down 1 lb!!!

:cheer: go curly go :cheer: That is awesome and with TOM!!!

lol i am gaining and losing the same 2 lbs..

think i better get my rear outside and get back to that 3 mile walk everyday! maybe the circuit training isnt enuff..

Congrats on the loss curly! Bet it felt great to move that ticker!! I'm going to do WATP 3 mile now. I've been turning down the volume and listening to my own music. All that chit chat gets on my nerves!

Have a great day everyone!

i have billy blanks tai bo but have yet to egt it into the dvd player lol not doing me much good on the coffee table eh?

I want to try tae bo curley Which one do you have? They have a couple of his DVD's on netflix. I've walked 18 miles so far this month on WATP and I'm getting slightly bored of it. I was thinking maybe with tae bo I might be able to get my husband into it. :ginger:

i got mine off ebay for like 5 bucks lol

Some people on the Protein Power board are really into the Billy Blanks Boot Camp DVD.

Congrats on your pound Curly. I bet that felt good.

We are having an ice storm tonight. I have a patient at 8:30 tomorrow morning and she said she would be there so I'm going to have to get up at 5 or something to make sure I can get there on time.

Curly-I don't know if you ever visited the protein power board at the link I gave you but I was just re-browsing over there and there are a couple threads that might interest you. One is on weight loss stalls and another is on weight loss and menopause.

o cool ty petra i will check it out

Hi PIC's,

Well.... I was up 1.8lb last night :( but considering I was SO off my program last week I'm not surprised. (Cost me a quarter in the jar even lol.) So today I've been tracking my water and every point I stuff into my face. I'll do my watp video tonight and ya know what?? I'm gonna feel much better for it all!!!!!

Petra~ I'm sure vanilla will work. I didn't have french vanilla pudding and just used regular SF vanilla. It was awesome! (I would cut back a little on the Splenda tho). How are your limbs feeling today, after your workout last night? :dizzy: You drive safe. yukkkkk ice!!!

Curly~ YAYYYYYY for your pound! And good luck. I hope you can figure out how to tweak yourself past those 2 boomarangin' lbs! BTW, did you do your taco bake yet? It sounds yummmmy too. Kinda like a mexican pizza at Taco Bell. :jeno:

AngelEyes~ :wave: Hey GF!! Howyadoin'?

Val~ I know what you mean about the talking on the video's. It is annoying sometimes. What music are you listening to when your walking now? I'd like to try the Tai Bo too, but these friggin' hips. I'm afraid they'll hurt. It'd be cool to get Bing into it too. Is he getting any "benifits" from your whole program? Lee lost like 13 lbs since I've started lol.

Lisa, MOM, TLB, Turtle, and allllll you other PIC's old and new... Ollie Ollie In Come Freeeeeeeeee! We miss you all. :tree: :candy: :tree:

Everyone have a wonderful day and I'll ttys :grouphug:

Dee sorry to hear about the weight gain. Just be good next week! You know you can do it! I created a playlist on my ipod to do with the WATP. All upbeat fast songs! It matches up fairly well.

What Tae bo is the easiest. Or the best to start with. I put Tae bo Live on my netflix list.

Keep up the good work everyone!

Hey again,

So I found another great site for nutrition facts. www nutritiondata .com. Lots of great info and a really great feature is it has a Firefox Plugin to add the search engine to your search bar. Just thought I'd share another find ;) :hug: y'all

Okay Dee, I tried to make an Eggnog smoothie this morning based on your recipe. It was fair. It probably needs some tweeking but this is what I used. 1 cup plain yogurt, 1/2 cup carb countdown milk, 3 tbsp vanilla whey protein powder, 1/4 tsp vanilla extract, 1 tbsp splenda, 1/4 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 tsp nutmeg. I would have added imitation rum extract too but I didn't have any. I'm wondering if I should just skip the yogurt and try to make it with the carb countdown and the whey protein. Wouldn't that be interesting to serve to guests, LOL?
