MONDAY!!! The great thing about Monday is that it feels like the PERFECT time to get back on track and start anew! Good luck all! Oh and my goals...I haven't decided what the right work out for me is right now but with finals approaching I am going to switch up my Jillian DVDs- that way I can stick to working out but they…

Exactly what I need- I am in!!!! Good luck everyone!

Yum Lasagna! I make lasagna sometimes with whole wheat noodles, sometimes with squash. I do use a pre-made sauce but it is all natural, low sodium, and no extra junk- they are out there you just have to find it:) I agree that you can do so much less cheese and grate some fresh parm on top and accomplish an even better…

yay thanks

Supreme 90 Day- I am enjoying it and inexpensive!

Valparaiso here:)

I have learned to use fat free greek yogurt in place of sour cream, with vanilla for sweet sauces, with Ranch powder to make Ranch dip/dressing, salsa on salad instead of other dressing, and avocado as a sandwich spread. Good luck!

this is great thanks

Look at the ingredients in black beans, many have lard in them. Look for a vegetarian version or just check to find some without.

sounds yummy

thanks for all the great ideas!

Hey there! I just wanted to share my experience...I did Insanity and had some weight loss in the first month- I felt good and strong for the most part. I am now doing a lifting program Supreme 90- I think it is similar to p90x but about 1/5 the price. I was happy with my Insanity results the first month but not the second-…

I just turned 29- I am always up for sharing ideas and tips.

I drink fresh vegetable juice almost every morning and think it has a very positive effect on my health. I feel better, I went from getting sick often to never getting sick, etc... I would recommend it! I did do juice only for a few days and felt amazing during that time! I generally don't think people should not eat real…

yummy

Yay thanks!

The machine looks handy although I do the same thing in my food processor..yum!

That sounds great! I had started it once but was given a schedule that had you going every day...this seems way better as I could do it with the other program I am doing.

You could also try quinoa pasta...a little pricey but yummy and healthy. I also vote for spaghetti squash!

Yay! I am excited to hear someone else is doing this workout! I have been doing it for about 1.5 weeks and am enjoying it so far. I was really looking for targeted muscle work and this has been great. I do feel like other than cardio days the workout feels a little short so I usually go for a little jog first but have…

I am sure I need to sleep more...life is soo busy. Thanks!

Thanks for the ideas! I take multivitamins and a B supplement ( about 3 x per wk). I don't log all the time; I try to eat more intuitively and listen to my body; I try to do it off and on just to make sure I am close to a healthy daily amount. I probably have a little more stress but nothing extreme...oh and I do have rest…

yum thanks

yummy!

I have just been getting into running and have really started to enjoy it...but getting better at it is very slow. I had a lung infection a few years ago that makes running more difficult but I am excited to have a group to work on it with! Good luck folks!

Hello! It sounds like you are taking the first step by deciding you are actually ready to do something- great start! I think it is helpful to track calories initially- I thought I was pretty healthy, and I was but once I started writing it down and becoming aware of my portion sizes it was pretty surprising. Also that was…

yum!

Sorry you are having them out! I had mine out when I was 23ish- I agree that there is some pain. I had "chronic strep" so I had REALLY bad step throat all the time- having my tonsils out to no longer get strep was sooo worth it- there is a positive to consider. I did take it easy as the Dr. recommended but I do think I did…

I have been vegetarian for a decade or so...can't quite cut out the cheese so I probably will never be vegan. I do think there is value to having raw veggies; I try to eat lots of raw vegetables as snacks and salads and such but I also juice to increase my overall raw nutrition intake.

Way to go on making such huge changes in your life! I did Insanity also and felt my results were kind of strange. Some people did tell me that when we start an intense work out program and muscle building that our bodies retain water which could explain some initial weight gain. I have no idea how long that would last…
