I have a Beachbody coach for P90X. If you sign up for their website, it's free. Many of the coaches keep their own personal blogs as well as coaching blogs that they post inspirational articles and motivational tips. You get a coach assigned, but I just emailed Emily and she coaches me sometimes. It's always nice to have…

More articles for you all to read at leisure. These are cross-referenced from my coach's blog. Emily rocks! M

6 Tips for Teaching Kids Nutritious Food Choices By Suzy Buglewicz It can seem like an impossible task to steer kids toward healthy food choices when they face a daily stream of endless advertisements depicting other kids happily devouring high-calorie foods loaded with sugar, fats, and sodium. But according to the United…

By Cecilia H. Lee There are no substitutes for eating healthy and regular exercise, but experts say that your frame of mind and your attitude can make a huge difference to your weight loss success. Of course, we're not suggesting hypnosis or any of that silly voodoo. We're talking about cutting out the "mental fat"—the…

Do you have room to work out at home? I know you study a lot (I do too) but if you work out you'll probably find that you sleep deeper and focus better after awhile. Plus, studying when you're exhausted just doesn't have the same effect as studying when your mind is fresh. Good luck to you!

Good article sweet. I too feel bloated after eating fruit sometimes. This clears it up!

Alli is an OTC weaker version of Rx Xenical...it does have something more than sugar in it....

LeeAnn, What do you consider a meal? Do you eat 3 times a day or 5-6? I take these shakes as a meal but I also eat 5-6 small meals per day. This one weighs in at 270 calories per shake. You might want to pair the shake with a small portion of carbohydrates like oatmeal or whole grain cereal if you are considering making it…

Protein from whey doesn't have more calories than protein from meat...if you overdo anything, it'll make you gain weight. I think whey is one of the best ways to make sure you're getting enough protein, because it doesn't have a lot of fat and is pretty near pure protein. Natural protein often keeps bad company like high…

LeanLioness, I saw that you are doing Atkins and have had great success. I too am a supporter of Atkins, though I don't eat red meat that often. I think that Atkins, though it received a lot of bad press, was a first step in the right direction towards clean eating mindsets and led the way for some of the most popular…

Soy does have high levels of estrogen. Perhaps this contributes to many vegan men who are unable to build up muscle...just a thought.

Hi Dolly, Thanks for hopping on our thread. Before the MyFitnessPal police come after me :wink: , I'd like to throw out a small disclaimer for everyone here. As far as I know, most of us are self-taught nutritionists (that is, we have found what works best for us). That being said, it's good to know your specific goals…

I used to blend my shakes with milk but I wasn't happy about the added calories (and milk has quite a bit of sugar as well). I found a way to make the shakes taste good when blended with water if you're trying to up the protein but keep the calories lower. My recipe is easy and simple. 2 Scoops whey powder (I use Body…

Weight : 157 Size: 8 in jeans, 6 in trousers/skirts/dresses; 6/8 or S/M in tops; 34D (:sad: ) Height: 5'4.5" Weigh quite a bit, muscular, but compact. Most people guess me at closer to 130-135.

Good Morning Bring IT team! Well, I can barely lift my arms today as I write this, so it might be short. Chest, Shoulders, and Triceps X continues to kick my butt and my arms are feeling it. But they are also seeing results:smile: . I didn't end up adding cardio after CST, but since I skipped my recovery day this week, I…

Sigh. :huh: I just don't get it. I realize people are busy, but there are ways to make healthy and quick meals just as easily. Your meal sounds far more appealing to me anyway though. When can we expect our dinner invites? :wink: :laugh:

Welcome Phoenixflame! Thanks for hopping on the Bring IT thread. You have very realistic goals and you sure will achieve them if you stick with us! I, too, am a college student, and while everyone faces temptation, it seems like most college students just think they're invincible. They eat like it's Thanksgiving at every…

On a more serious note, I think that the advice given isn't sound because if you keep feeding your cravings you'll never learn to break the bad habits that lead you down that path in the first place. The more you say no and use your personal power, the easier it will become. Develop your mental strength and say you CAN do…

Bahaha Dave. I agree with you. I don't know if that above advice is very sound....

Awesome! That's a lot of calories mrsyac2. I think I forgot you on last night's roll call. Please forgive me! I think you'll be happy on Sunday...I hope I have the same results! M

The following is an article written by a friend of mine. Using P90, P90X, tears, sweat, and hard work and dedication, Jim has lost more than 135 pounds in about a year and a half. I have never met anyone so dedicated, and Jim is one of the people who inspired me to really get my butt in gear. If a 6'6" mechanical…

Eh, CardioX is the workout I probably burn the least calories on. I make myself do the kenpo, plyo, and core syn sections again just to make it long enough. Might have to sub some TJ or something else for Cardio because it's boring...
