Egg whites are really cheap where you are and protein is expensive! Here the best I can do for "fake eggs" is about $1.99 for a 16oz container (454 g)….for the "just whites" you are looking at $2.50-$3.00. In comparison I can get really cheap whey protein for $15 for a 2 lb container (907g) or $22 for isolate. The isolate is about 86% protein so $0.028 per gram. The cheapest fake eggs are about 10% protein so $0.0438…total flip flop!
I also reread what I wrote last night and I did not mean to sound so "witchy". I did not realize there was such a price difference.

Thanks for that exercise megs. I will incorporate that to my workouts.
Cocoa_that sounds interesting. I have protein powders but don’t really like them. I made myself a serving last night and it was not tasty. I will try your recipe since I buy egg white cartons anyways for omlettes. -
Oxygen magazine might be really helpful for exercises to tone trouble spots 😉
Their website is full of exercises and tips

Hi Vamp!
I with Megs on this one, squats are the absolute best for toning those legs!
At least it’s working for me.
I started doing “doorway squats†and noticed a difference pretty quickly.
Here is what I do:Standing in a doorway, hold on to the frame of the door, hands about waist heigth.
Bend your right leg until your thigh is parallel to the floor. The left leg stays straight but off the floor when you bend the right one.
Come up using your leg strength and help yourself as little as possible with your hands.
Do 1 serie of 10 repetitions, 1 serie of 8 reps and a serie of 6 reps. Rest a little between each serie. Change legs after you’ve done the 3 series on 1 leg.I do this every other day and add one repetition each time.
Don’t forget to stretches really well especially the quads!
The first time I did this exercise I didn’t stretch well it hurt so bad I couldn’t go up or down stairs without squeeking like a mouse!Good luck!

wow that sounds like an awesome exercise pinkbubbles. I'm about to go try it out now. On Saturdays I always do the legs and back p90x dvd which I love but I don't have that kind of time during the week. This week I've been waking up 30 min earlier and doing legs and abs instead of just abs. I'm starting out with three different excercises, 3 reps of about 12 each. I think my problem has been that I've never been able to do both cardio and strength training due to my schedule. Now I am doing cardio at night three times a week, and pole 3 times, plus I will keep waking up ealier in the mornings to do legs and abs. We'll see what happens…I come from a family of women with very flabby lower bodies so I'm sure its harder when you have to fight your genes LOL.

do you find your "problem areas" to be your calves? or your thighs/hips????

Doorway squats sound like my single leg pole squat. https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_flower.gif For those taking the lessons here are the Single Leg Squat and Pole Squat….these really target the glutes, hams, and quads
