I cook with it all the time. I don't "fry" with it. Sautee.... If it goes in the pan, I add the calories.

Congrats!

Yes

I'm up at 4am for my work outs. You make the time when you decide that you are serious about it. Good luck.

I have mine at 40/40/20

and NO - it's not an over night happening - it's going to take you a while to look like that....FYI

Sign up at bodybuilding.com create a profile. It's free. There are a ton of helpful articles, lifting plans, nutrition plans and supplement ideas there. I go there for advise all the time.

Don't eat a lot of processed foods......Not sure how long it sticks with ya...

It's all in your head. And who cares what anyone else is thinking anyway? Go - learn - sweat!

here's another good like - you can print out the would outs. If you don't know what the move is, you can click on the blue link and it will show you. http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/beginner-core-training-guide.htm

for anyone else that bumped this, I found this on bodybuilding.com http://blog.bodybuilding.com/fit_scientist/2009/11/22/ab-workout-how-often/ I'm going to try Shannon Clark's Ab Wrokout and see how that goes.

I am working my abs like I do every other muscle group that I work out. I focus on them a little more to provide some core strength to help with my other lifting. Do you think it's better to do them every day? And what I mean by that is in attition to my leg, back, chest, arm, etc. work outs? Or 2-3 times a week. Or…

Silly me - I thought push ups were a chest exercise... I do them on chest day, not arm day.....

I would highly sugguest you go to Message Boards » General Diet and Weight Loss Help and read the first four post - they are all for new people. This should help you. stephanie

Do you have a suggestion where I should post this? How about recipes - may the exercise forum?.....

I'm doing Mexican on Thursday. I was going to get the fajitas. Unless they offer some sort of fish. Good luck with the chips! I know I'll need it!

Please do not tell someone that muscle weighs more than fat. A pound is a pound is a pound. ton of feathers = a ton of bricks....

I hightly doubt that you have added 2 pounds of muscle mass in two weeks. That is a lot of muscle to build. I would assume that it's either water weight or fat weight. Not to offend anyone. People have to bust their butts to put on muscle - and I'm pretty sure that the Shred isn't enough for that. (Yes, I have done 30DS…

I drink it from time to time. Good luck sleeping if you're taking it at night. You might want to stick to a pop or coffee....

This looks like what I'm looking for. No youtube at work here :( Thanks everyone.

That's blocked too. Damn it.

Thanks Rachele!

Gotta be something.....

I can't do youtube. Can't access at work. And looking for something that I can print out. But thanks. I'm more of an instruction type of person.... ha

From what I understand women with PCOS need to stay at 1200 to see any weight loss. A friend just got this news from her doc yesterday.

Be careful when eating your exercise calories. I found that when I used my HRM it was higher than what I was actually burning. Unless you are wearing a chest strap I would only use the numbers the HRM is giving you as a guideline. And make sure that your portion size is on. I would suggest only eating back 1/2 of your…

Just like exercise needs dedication, so does the diet part. You need to work at it. It doesn't come over night. It's a matter of walking away, not buing the junk any more. I don't care if there are kids or a husband in the house. They don't need junk food either. It's only setting a bad example. As my signature says - you…

Sorry - you can't spot lose fat. Cardio and weight training is the way to go. Good luck! Steph

I steam mine for 10-12 minuts so it's still crisp/tender - not mush. Then a little ICBINB and some salt and pepper. Yummy!
