Perfect!! Thank you so much!

I’ve tried that one too Kim and I am right there with you. It’s one thing that I can’t give up either! My quest is always on when I go grocery shopping.

And yes–I have several sets of tablespoons in my house to measure out the Creamers, because it is that important to me. I can give up desserts, tortilla chips and alcohol but having a cup of coffee is important to me. That’s why I asked what’s the big deal about it? Nutritionally, is it really going to HURT my efforts for 1 or 2 tablespoons and if so what ingredients so I avoid?

Trans fats?- haven’t touched them in years
Fat/Sat fat- I keep it low
Sugar- is this the culprit?
Lactose- non dairy creamers seem to have more junk and chemicals than regular half and half

I’ve searched the internet for answers and it always comes up just drink black which is not what I want in life LOL.

I UNDERSTAND this is a challenge, and that extras are cut out but it’d be helpful to learn going forward.

Thanks Naomi! What about flutter kicks? They seem to be working for me, and not hurting my hip. Does it Target the same region/lower abs?

I know it doesn’t help but I’m the same boat. I haven’t lost one pound and am getting very frustrated. I was expecting to at least lose one pound by now, considering I’m at a 500+ calorie deficit according to MFP every day. I am considering quitting because I’m not seeing any changes like other women had (check instagram) even though I’ve hit every cardio and weight workout since May 1. These meal plans are so just so hard to stomach every.day. and not seeing results sucks.

That’s actually not a bad thought process Stephanie 🙂 it makes sense. I might try non dairy creamer instead because the almond milk is just too thin.

I was hoping to get a response from the ladies running these forums, since we paid for it. I’d really like to know the science behind it not just “do it, because we told you”. LOL.

I am with all of you on this!!! I’ve trained my body for 15 years to only eat when I am hungry and I cannot eat Meal 5. No matter what I do, I just have no room for it! It will be easier this weekend, I think, when the rest days kick in and you’ll need all five meals without the post-workout shake. I’m not hitting the macro’s number wise but I am staying in the percentage points and I think as long as the ratio remains around 40/28/31 (low carb day) you could expect to see results. I am trying not to stress out about eating every drop right now, my body is in shock and will adjust accordingly. 🙂

Thanks Maureen, I can do the turkey breast option as well–just have to run out and buy the bird now! Thank you for your feedback on this 🙂
