Your body can take up to 8 weeks to acclimate itself, especially if you are not used to diet and exercise. Don't give up girl!!! We are all in the same boat, and need to keep eachother going. I am trying to loose some pounds as well. I am going to school for Professional Fitness, and am always here is you need some…

http://www.fitwatch.com/database/searchexdb.html Great website, you can calculate a workout that isn't on here. But 400-600 is about right!!! Amazing!

All I know is that caffine dehydrates the body, so you need to have as many ounces of water as you do caffine, plus the daily recommended amount,

This was a great article, very informative. I bought a Pur filter system to keep in my fridge. It has made such a difference in my h2o consumption!!! Thanks fitness_chick!!

Try using a gel cover for bikes, and instead of just sitting down on the bike, you have to go a sort of sweeping motion onto the seat while doing jumps (hense the urgent need to disinfect before and after useage, :laugh: LOVE SPIINING!!! I try to do it at least twice a week, and yes it kicks my butt and my A.M. class wipes…

Yeah Jess!!! Foam roller!!!

Hey there. I am a massage therapist and work on a lot of injuries/athletes. You need to rest it, because it will worsten. I find that massage is really helpful for this type of injury. The I.T.B. is a very thick fiberous tendon, and has less blood flow then, say, your quads. So a therapist can help get circulation in that…

This would probably be awesome with ground turkey instead of beef . :tongue:

I heard that too.

I am a spinning instructor, and unless you have been to a class, it is hard to get the equivalant on your own. Spinning bikes have tension on them that you can't get from an ordinary stationary bike. It is like working out with 20lb. weights on your feet. Try a class!!! It is amazing. ~Nicole

Oh my god....I watch MTV too!!! It is a terrible guilty pleasure. Like watching a train wreck, you just can't stop..... How about National Lampoons Christmas Vacation, a classic.

Go to Hungrygirl.com. There are great recipes including alchololic drinks. Great site!! I am a big fan of Michalob Ultra, but thats more for bar drinking then holidays. Although I would prefer it any time :drinker: Nicole

Tam, I love red pepper hummus. On carrots it is amazing!!! My list, Medium Salsa Green Giant Steamed Veggies (easy in a pinch just nuke and serve) Dole Salad A few Lean Cusine meals, the paninis are awesome. Farm fresh apples from Harvest Orchard, near my home (get them while I can) Red Pepper Hummus (Marlet Pantry is…

Pin (King Pin the movie, terrible though)

Be careful if you want to run with the Nike Shocks, they are not supportive for anyone who over or under-pronates (rolling in or out after heel strike, caused by the sub-talar joint). Have your gait checked out from a running specialist, I suggest looking if there is a "Fleet Feet Sports" in your neck of the woods. Also, a…

I used to be a bra expert for a specialty running store in CT. So, naturally, being a large chested girl myself, I know a lot about the topic. The biggest mistake women make, is trying to get "the girls" to fit in an over the head sports bra. Unless you are a small a-b cup, or plan on standing still for excersize, it is…

I have been on the Acai Berry Cleanse for a few months now. Although I do not think it is the reason I have lost weight (really it is the motivation of this great site), I do however feel a difference in my digestive system. I always felt very bloated, like there was a brick in my stomach, even if I ate healthy. The pills…
