I don't know why it has sooo many calories, but the salad mix also includes parmesan cheese and olives....I would ask if you could get the salad with the dressing on the side too as it seems most of the calories come from that. You can also control the amount you use. Croutons have quite a few calories as well so maybe…

OG salad is drenched in dressing. When you reach the bottom of the bowl, do you see the rest hanging out in the bottom? Yeah, oil, sugar, etc...

Hello Cynn! Seems like you are here for the right reasons. Health, happiness, setting a good example for your family! Welcome. We have a lot of info in our old threads too so be sure to browse through those when you get a chance.

Hello! Anyone is welcome to join. Just tell us about yourself and your goals...on the first page of the thread i have links to two of our old ones. However, we DO ask a few things...and it received some (ok, a lot) of criticism when I first posted it. So why are you here? Let us know some about yourself... M

If you do it, it can't not work. Lots of threads and lots of support here and at beachbody. Do some research; you'll quickly find out why there's so much chatter about it. It works if you work at it...workouts and nutrition.

IMO, fat is not the ENEMY! Yes, it is more calorically dense than protein or carbohydrates, but your body needs some fat. Obviously, stay away from trans fats, high amounts of saturated fats, and partially hydrogenated (chemically altered) but your body does need fat for joints. If you go for a long period without enough,…

:noway: :noway: :noway: Ok, that was a little harsh. :wink: Way to go on the biking. That's a lot of miles! I try to stay away from Chinese food in general...but 35 dollars is a lot of money for a buffet! As long as you didn't eat too many fried doughnuts. I forgive you. Does anyone else find it weird that the food they…

Morning everyone! Glad it's the weekend! I'll be bringing it later today. Not sure with what yet; it's rainy and dreary and around 50 degrees. Off to go shop for a bit (my favorite sport) and then I'll be back to Bring it! M

:drinker: :drinker: :drinker: Not a failure by any means! Those two pounds will be gone in no time! Congrats on your success. I say, 50 years young!

Aww why the bad day Georg? I kind of had a bit of a trying day again as well...some things. Well, stupid people just make me work out harder, so I guess they're good in the long run:smile: . Totally KILLED KenpoX tonight, weighted gloves and everything. It was awesome. Hopefully I'll get to run tomorrow. Or not, it's…

You could always try tea as well. Green tea is great and it's good for you! Hmm, as far as the sugar substitutes, I rarely use Splenda but I'm hearing some good things about Truvia as well. I don't know much about general pain vs arthritis pain, but I think that if it is unbearably painful you might want to back off. Keep…

Hey Sweet, I wouldn't worry too much about being up .6 pounds. I've heard some people say that when they start working out they initially gain a little bit due to some water retention in their muscles. However, it's only temporary and goes away after awhile. Also, daily fluctuations are nothing to be too concerned about.…

Morning everyone! It's a great day out. 60 degrees and sunny! I'll be headed outside for a jog today. Too bad so many of you are sick. My sister is too...rest up and I'm sure you'll make a full recovery. TGIF!

Well, good night everyone! Way to bring it again! I was in a short-lived funk the past day and a half, and I didn't like it AT ALL!:noway: :noway: Alas, I am out of it and ready to bring it yet again! I figured out my problem. I missed Tony Horton. Chalene was making it fun for a few days, but I'm in a more serious mood,…

Do it. You know you want to. I get my butt kicked by it everyday. And I like it.

Way to go with the organic. It can run a higher bill, but clearly you're putting in the effort to make it work for you. My biggest problem with bacon, or cured meats in general, is the salt content and nitrates used to preserve..:noway: :noway: Plus, who eats just one piece of bacon? :laugh: I think many people eat 2-3, or…

I knew you'd be by Lean. I know you eat bacon too. But most people here don't follow Atkins...or anything resembling it. I support Atkins for the most part though and think overall it's a healthy plan.

Hmm. Bacon on a "diet"? Yeah right.

Hi! Welcome to our group...we're pretty much bad*sses here with workouts, clean eating, and just doing it! Thanks for hopping in here. We're looking forward to your progress! M:bigsmile:

Nice River! I just killed Core Synergistics because I too had a bit of a trying day. I wish I could do Ab RipperX twice...I struggle just to get through it once! I always work out so hard when I'm pissed off. Maybe I should get pissed off more often? :tongue:

WTG Mya! Funny how those things that used to taste so good don't taste as good these days...your body loves healthy foods! I'm back kids. I'll admit it, today I was feeling tired and feeling like I wasn't going to get in a good workout. I don't know what just kicked me in the butt, but I've got my energy back and I'm ready…

I guess what I was getting at with that comment was this. As long as you're regarding it as something you "go on and off of" you haven't made the mental commitment to a new lifestyle. You don't go on and off of lifestyles. You just do and live them. Yes there will be bumps in the road, and not everything works for…

Nah, I don't beat myself up over 30 minutes of working out instead of 60+. It happens. I will be bringing it tonight, and I hope I'm not dragging *ss again. Don't know what the deal is, but I'm sure I'll be back in full force. Bring IT! M

Thanks for the encouragement team. I'll be honest. I did 30 minutes of cardio, burned 250 calories, and then stopped. Now, 30 minutes and 250 calories isn't a complete failure, but I have been expecting to burn around 600 calories per day at minimum, so I was slightly disappointed with myself for not being able to get my…

Haha good stuff everyone. Arguing on a forum. I guess we're all bada**es behind the keyboard though eh?:laugh: :laugh: Dave you crack my *kitten* up. We could all stand to lighten up around here sometimes. It's about your health and happiness, but it was OBVIOUS that this article was written by someone else, and Dave was…

Confession: I am having trouble bringing it today. Nutrition, of course, has been spot on, but I can't seem to get into my workout. Sigh...I've only burned 230 calories so far. Punch Kick Jam is a toughie. I don't remember it being that hard but it's kicking my butt. Ahh, in a few minutes I'm giving it another go. Must…

WTG Mya! Awesome job Bringing it with us everyday! Mya doesn't have any secrets, just determination, dedication, and lots of sweat and hard work. 2-2.5 hours of cardio a day, 1200-1400 calories per day eaten (no exercise cals). Everyone can do it. It just takes commitment! I see you in your cute lil jeans over there Mya! M

It's been quiet in here today! Oh well, I'm sure everyone is doing what they know how to do best. :wink: Dinner sounds yummy Mya! Hope you're having fun at your sisters. Sweet, you should be burning quite a few calories with the elliptical if you're pushing yourself. But I do love me some strength training too...:smile:…

Uhh, you don't take a break.

Unclean eating club.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: It has a funny ring to it. Do you like stir-fry at all? I do this a lot...You can buy huge bags of flash-frozen vegetables for pretty cheap prices. Dump some in a wok or large non-stick pan with (I use water, but if you want you can use a small amount of oil) and stir around for…
