Darn Husbands!
My hubby has a really bad habit of eating like crap. Since I've been eating better and working out, he has started to come on board with me (which is great).

Those of you at 1200 cals. a day...
For those of you who are at the 1200 calories per day level, what does your food intake look like for the day? What do you have for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks? I'm finding it very hard to stay at 1200 cals. Having some exercise calories to eat back helps, but on my rest day or days I just can't workout I need to…

Hey Folks... One of my Facebook friends has recently started the Isagenix program and keeps going on and on and on about how wonderful it is. I've done a little bit of reading on it and, in my opinion, it seems to strike me as a bit of a "pyramid scheme". Anyone? Just curious :smile: Jeff @ YEG
