One thing I love to do with eggplant: bread it and spray a pan and bake it until tender and browned Add it on a roll with fresh mozzarella slice, artichoke hearts and a tomato. Drizzle with a touch of balsamic vineager. YUM!!!!!

I go to Zumba at my gym 1-2 times a week and would love to do it at home too...has anyone tried the Kinnect Zumba Fitness? Or Wii? If so, how did it compare to the in person classes? Thanks! I LOOOOVE my Zumba!!!

I AGREE!!!! I am a yoga instructor (I teach hatha yoga) please do NOT start with a DVD. An instructor can be there to correct any poses that are done incorrectly. Most all instructors I know are very good with beginners! I teach 2-3 times a week and have practiced yoga for over a decade. I credit my reduction in pain with…

go to www.zumbacalories.com they calculate your calories based on weight and level of activity for Zumba class...

Dairy and potatoes! I've cut down drastically on both....

I'd like to join this group if it's active...I've had Fibro for 12 years now and counting....

I'm definitely going to try this! thanks for sharing!!!

I've done the couch to 5 k program....it's a great way to get into running.....even for non runners like me... Good luck!

I get that totally, but I just think it's much more accurate. And I definitely change up recipes alot so once I enter it, it's easy to modify... good luck!

My only advice seems to be echoed in the posts above...listen to what your gut is telling you. Do you have a pastor that you and he can talk to together to try to talk out your issues? His ultimatum sounds to me like a cover for some deeper issues or insecurities that HE is having. I highly recommend, if you choose to stay…

I find it more accurate to just input what my actual ingredients are and keep it in my own database.

will he eat greek yogurt? The 2X protein yoplait ones are delish and he could add more calories/protein that way...

Thanks again for the responses...

I've started doing a lot of squats with a weighted bar every day, 3 sets, 12 reps each.... hope this will help will try the dry brushing too

Great info here...I see I need to move up my net calories too. I can't seem to get the scale to budge. And I work out a lot. Thanks for the sharing of info!

I too, add everything! Even the hershey's nuggets :)

I'm in!!!! will try to post tomorrow but I'm driving up to visit my dad (he has stage 4 lung cancer) and it'll be a long day...

ewwwwww...yep that would do it for me too! That's one way to look at it! :) g'nite

hmmm....will have to check out that PINK Anyone want to friend me and keep in touch feel free to :) Thanks for all the ideas...my favorite is beet apple carrot ginger parsley....when I drink it I feel like I'm getting a shot of b12!

Here's my recipe for the Kale Apple Smoothie: I made this today in my blender and it rocks!!! If you want to watch your carb intake, just leave out the banana. I read the recipe wrong and added 1 cup of kale and used a whole banana. I also dislike apple juice, but instead added an apple, cut and cored. I used Santa Cruz…

I'm not a game person although I have them in my house ... I like the # of miles walked, calories burned, etc. type challenges I am also trying to train for a 5K race called RUN AMUCK which has obstacles and .....MUD yay for me (what was I thinking???)

I have a desk job...I work from home...that allows me to get up and chase after my 4 year old occassionally :) I also live in a bilevel so always up and down stairs!

I totally understand...my suggestion is to have a protein bar on hand for when you're not really hungry ---that will keep your calories and proteins to the optimal level in order to fuel your body. Good luck!

I took a quick look at your diary and just wanted to ask if you've been skipping meals? I see a couple of dinner entries missing and a couple of breakfast....I caution you on skipping the meals especially if you're working out hard. You will put your body in starvation mode and won't have enough fuel to burn the…

SO AGREE ON THIS ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

you look amazing and you did it the right way!!! congrats!!!!

you look great!!! keep it up!!

I am journaling and exercising but VERY frustrated.…
