Happy Canada Day! Thanks for the great picture Shelley. I am just so grateful to be living here - I truly believe it is the best place on earth! (And yes, we do have the best beer LOL!)

Thanks! I think I'll make myself a batch of these after I go hit the weights this morning :9

Hi Tina Can you let me know if you mix this with a food processor? I have tried making protein pancakes before by just mixing everything with a spoon and I found that I really disliked them because they tasted like I was eating an omlette with raw oatmeal in it. I thought maybe by...

Thanks Nicole! This is such a handy reference to have :)

Happy birthday Tneah! Eat that frosting!}(

RE: O.k...I've turned into a Witch with a Lori - I'm sure it's your carbs because it sounds just like me last week. I have been in the process of adjusting my diet to be more in line with the BFFM way of eating, but I went from eating lots of carbs to very low carbs very quickly and boy did I...

Leanne, do you belong to a check-in? Maybe we should hop out of the Ask Cathe forum before we get in trouble LOL!

Hi Leanne I have the Omron - I bought it for myself for mothers day - I don't know how accurate it is, but I mostly just want to monitor that my BF is going down LOL! It's a good way for me to see that I am getting results even if the scale isn't showing much. I just got BFFM at the...

Leanne - I LOVE BFFM. I lost about 40 pounds a couple of years ago and since then have hovered between 155 and 145. I recently started lifting heavier weight and could see some wonderful muscle definition - underneath a nice fluffy layer of fat - LOL! I really want to see what those muscles...

Hi Heidi, Both Gym Style Legs and L&G are great lower body workouts. You might want to get some upper body ones if you want to do a three day split. I have all three Gym Style and I love them! I do three days of weights and three days of cardio and have one day off. With the dvds that...

Kathryn and Leanne: Thanks for posting about the protein limit - I hadn't even thought about that! I generally get between 20-25 grams of protein per meal so I knew I was above the daily RDA. I would hate to think I was just putting pressure on my kidneys to get rid of protein that I...

I don't understand why this would happen - whey comes from milk so it doesn't seem logical that it would have any kind of reaction when you mix them. I use soy milk - I just like the taste better than water :) However, I do find that I do need to drink a big glass of water with my protein...

It is unfortunate that many times women are made to feel as though nursing is going to be easy and natural because they get so distraught when it is NOT easy and natural. I nursed both of my girls and I was in tears the first time from pain and exhaustion. (I wasn't getting a proper latch and...

Tonight it's chickpeas and cauliflower cooked in Indian butter chicken spice mix (don't eat meat, but the spice mix is sooo yummy), spaghetti squash, and a serving of tofu on top. Meal six will be a protein smoothy and 2 egg whites. I am a bit skimpy on the protein today, so I need to boost...

Debbie - I know this is a dumb question, but I just gotta know. The raw oats and protein powder - you mix this with something don't you? I think I need to get a blender! Corrie

You're right Beavs - It kinda of looked like beef jerky! I never even thought of that. Wow, must be a lot of salt in those babies.

Hi Ashley, Here are a few you can try: http://www.bmi-calculator.net/bmr-calculator/ http://www.fitday.com/ http://www.sparkpeople.com/ http://www.nutritiondata.com/ Some of these will also let you enter your daily intake so you can track it. I have found that an Excel spreadsheet...

Yuck! I haven't eaten at MacDonalds in a very long time, thank goodness! The last time I went with my mom and 2 daughters, we only went because my daughter wanted to (she wanted the toy.) We sat down and took a bite of our food and threw out the whole thing. Even the kids wouldn't eat...
