1/2 cup vanilla yogurt (you can use nonfat/light whatever)

1/2 cup milk (you can use nonfat/light whatever)

1/2 cup to 1 cup Ice

1 small banana

1Tbsp natural peanut butter

1 scoop vanilla whey protein

dash of nutmeg

tsp of honey (I use local fresh honey)

Blend it all in the blender, I do all the ingrediants first eacept for the banana, then after the other is mixe dI through it in. Can be High in calories, but if you use light and lowfat stuff, and you can leave out the peanut butter. still tastes yummo!

mine is 5 and she eats what we eat, if she does not like it then then she can have a sandwich, I don't make her something else, and she has to try what we are eating. howver that being said I try to make stuff she will like too.

Kabobs - she loves these (chicken, veggies we add a few pieces of pinapple, and then cook some brown rice.

Turkey Tator Tot Casserole - favorite around the house. about 400 cal a serving

Chicken Tacos  - grilled chicken, green bell peppers and corn tortillas, with balck beans

Turkey Burger - Jenni-O premade patties, wheat buns, I like a tablesppon of bluecheese on mine and mushrooms DD likes fat free american cheese.

Wheat pasta and Marinera sauce with turkey italian sausage servered with a salad, I usually throw in some broccoli into the sauce too.

Subway one night a week.

Turkey Chili (Crokpot awesome recipe!)

Pot of beans.

Hope that helps get some ideas

I have the opposite effect I have muscular theighs (always have makes finding jeans sometimes hard) and when I run more they get tighter and leaner (one reason I run not becuas eI like to run lol), even my husband notices. Maybe it is not the running? Are you only running or still doing weights?

I use to pop the off and on but it stretches them out, and since my run shoes were a little pricey I am careful t to untie them to tak ethem off, but I still catch my self popping htem off every now and them

LMAO I need this

Well I get tired of people asking me if my hair is real and can they touch it, no you cannot touch it! So hat hides most of it. And not like I have anything unusual about my hair it is just red but there are some weirdos out there lol.

okay I remebered a few  all it took was a caffiene jolt lol

As moderators you all should have a little more courtesy, I am not talking about starving myself or doing anything stupid.  I know it is your jobs to police the board but you all need to learn how to talk to people  instead of jump them. Maybe get all the facts first before critizing and telling someone what a bad idea it is. MY ORGINAL question was never answered and yes I did talk to my Dr. after I posted this but I was waiting on a call back and I just wanted to see what other people had done. I have been a member for over a year on here and have never had such rude judgemental comments, for all of your info I DO get my blood tested every month. I do see and endocrinologist along with an acupucturist. I do discuss this with both. I have hormonal problems and Infertility. So thank you very much for making feel even worse, All I said was the word detox and you all ASSUMED I was starving myself, no one bothered to ask what exactly I was eating or not eating or what the plan entails you all just ASSUMEd that I have no clue what I am doing. Sorry for asking a question I guess I will just keep to myself, This is suppose to be a support board .

Wes – thanks I am struggling this week completely with running, have  no motivation at all , I think I may take this week off and regroup this weekend.

Mds – YEAH, that is awesome, I could not believe how far I had run kept having to look at my ipod, when I saw my results I did a little dance out on the track lol people probably thought I was nuts lol

Ktomkie – Awe cool I will add you as soon as nike gets done upgrading their system (or whatever it is they are doing) – way to go on the 4K!

Oreo – Nike + was a big motivator for me I am a visual person I loved seeing my runs add up, and being able to join different challenges is fun and appeals to my competitive streak lol

Back again I worked really hard in Feb but only a 2lb loss urghhhh I am in the home stretch 13 lbs to go and it seems to be harder and harder to lose. even though I am eating really good and I exercise at least 3-4 times a week and that is min 45 cardio and then usually weights. (running, elliptical, spin class). Scared to weigh tomorow  (I did not weight this morning sorry) becuase of Super Bowl food but I tried to be good and only had 1 beer (I have not had a beer in months)
