Not taboo forever, only the first 5-6 weeks while you are healing. If you are a coffee person, you can look forward to having cappuccino or grande drinks again.

You might find the Biggest Loser DVD with Jillian or Bob to be fairly approachable. I tend to like the ones with Bob (as a guy?) and have his cardio, weight training and strength training as well as his "biggest loser" type workouts. They tend to work really well and are easy to follow. You can get real results from these if you stick with them for a while. I may get some push back from others by recommending these, but I think they are good food a large assortment of different folks. There are so many different workout DVDs out there so take my suggestions as one option. Good luck on finding a good workout DVD.

Oh man, my wife got addicted to those. Be careful as too many of these could add up over the week. It looks like they are 170 cal for 1. Carbs, fat and protein are each around 10 g. Do you like cool ranch or original (cheese) flavor? I personally would not choose to eat these, but they are not that unwieldy in their nutritional stats.

This Irish expression and beautiful images really does provide a strength and hope, as well as a wave of relaxation.

I will take your word on that as I do not watch Today very often. Sounds like he is never going to live that one down... haha.

Thanks MrsG.

However, you are back and that is good to hear. It is sad when people decide to leave because of some silly back and forth. We all need each other in one way or another. Everyone has an opinion that matters and we all share so many common experiences. Let's remember that. There is more positive on this site then negative, and the negative seems to be highly concentrated. There is no reason to let random strangers have such an impact on your day. You are all worth so much more then that!

Dude, maybe distance a little from the Costco muffins, they would give you headaches and make you sick with all the sugar in them. Used to love them myself though, especially the maple brown syrupy frosting one that was always coated with a nice thick layer of liquid frosting goodness on the bottom. But man, one of of those is probably 1000 calories.

Look out for the horse meat in those!! It is a known fact!!

After "Along came Polly" I thought shart entered the common lexicon!! Every time I read about one in a post my mind goes back to that funny movie. Fortunately the shart is normally experienced by new sleevers ( myself included).

Agree with you 1000% it is so flavorful!

It is a low fat honey Dijon dressing.

Tried out the two think thin flavors today and got nauseous after eating. I think they are too sweet or something is messing with my gag reflex. Felt kind of sick for an hour. First time. Now I am sure I Like the nu go bars because they do not leave any after feeling like think thin bars did. Maybe it is because there is some ingredient in the think thin bar that I am not agreeing with. I am protein loading to help my legs repair a bit after a weekend hike. Still able to run on my treadmill at incline 5% (oh, felt so good and the sweat was a river), but I look like a zombie walking around the house due to my two stiffies ( no ideas ladies!! ) it will probably clear up by Wednesday. In the meanwhile I am adding 3 extra protein based meals in between my 6 meals in order to get in the high protein ( 200+) over next day or two. Extra 600 calories or so daily to get me around 1800-2000. Then I will drop back to 1200. Probable good for my BMR to try this little experiment out.

Ok - thanks for the vote of confidence for shiva. I'll wait for some other votes before picking one.

I don't think so and have never experienced this.

Mix together salad bag mix, sliced beets, crumbled goat cheese, diced walnuts and garlic chicken. Very yummy and full of flavor, especially the beet and goat cheese combo. You can buy the garlic chicken from costco in packs of 6 garlic chicken skewers. They naturally break apart into 3-4 chicken chucks per skewer, you can break them down further depending on desired size.

You might want to ease into the steak. A lot of us found steak hard to eat. For me personally, I was unsuccessful at eating stake until month 5. Tried 3-4 times before that. You may have better luck, but thought I would warn you ahead of time.
