Throw a frozen banana in there.

I pretend my oatmeal is hash browns. First batch I ever did I topped it with two eggs over easy, and hot sauce --yum! Next batch, add some mixed veggie in there, add the over easy eggs, hot sauce --second batch is now my favorite breakfast! One day I was out of canned mixed veg so I substited canned mixed fruit --still…

Note: I stopped all exercise as sort of an experiment here to see if I can gain weight by eating as much healthy food as I possibly can. Yes.... good point, I will increase my protein input and try to drink more protein shakes. Note2: I try to avoid dairy mostly because it messes with cholesterol (which I forgot to mention…

I think of exercise as a requirement (not an option). What are other requirements in your life? You must eat food to live. You must drink water to keep your body hydrated. You must sleep to rest your body. You must shower to avoid stinking and keeping yourself clean. You must brush your teeth/floss to keep your teeth…

Get a TRX... those are awesome to extend the different ways you can do body weight exercises.

I have the same problem, I have a hard time eating all my calories, which is why I track on this site. Add me as friend so we can share diaries. I'd be curious to see yours. I have been drinking more fruit juice to help bridge the gap.

Make sure you set your MFP to Sedentary. Your fitbit will determine your calories and adjust accordingly. So if you have a busy day walking --your calories are adjusted and you have more to work with. But lets say you have a lazy couch day, then your calories will also reflect those days too and will stay lower. So, the…

My revelation: If you eat healthy 90 to 100% of the time, you don't really need to count calories. Nobody gained excessive weight by eating to much broccoli. lol. Although I still count because --ironically-- I don't eat enough otherwise!

Here's what I do when I work from home.... During lunch (I pace the house as I eat) instead of sitting down at computer. Every time I get up to go to the bathroom --I run the stairs for 5 minutes or do butt kickers etc. I set a reminder on my phone for planks. I try to do a minimum of 3 per day. So at random moments just…

If your not sweating.... you should go see your doctor about it. I had a friend that had this problem long time ago. We worked landscaping and all of us were dripping wet except him. The doc helped him, I forget what it was all about. But I'm just saying it could be a medical condition.

NEVER! I never plan on them. I attempt to eat healthy all the time. Sometimes I eat 1 cookie or 1 piece of cake sometimes, but I try to make it rare. Sometimes I go out for wings and beers with the guys (like once a month) and I've been ordering bad food because I don't want them to give me a hard time for ordering grilled…

Do body weight exercises at home. For example, do a round of pushups, return to cooking dinner. Do a round of crunches, go back to dishes. Do a plank, return to homework. See how easy it is? You just take little breaks until you get it done. You can also run in place while your folding laundry, etc. Do what you can do. No…

I do cardio in morning and strength training in the evening. Ultimately, I don't think it matters. If you do it all in morning, I'd think doing cardio first is better because you get the blood flowing and you loosen up your muscles. Going straight into strength training on cold muscles is never a good idea. Always need to…

Stop eating crap food: fried foods, fast food, lots of sugar --donuts, candy pop etc. ....and start focusing on healthy food. The quicker you can get on a diet such as... paleo or the dash diet --the better off you will be in the long run. When you do eat crap food (pizza, donuts etc) make sure it's only once a month. We…

I can help you.

Listen to your body..... rest!!!!! Your doing to much. Ease back a bit. Don't lift as much weight. etc. Always listen to your body. Adjust weight each week accordingly. Better to go light in the beginning and ease your way up.

Yep... stop drinking diet sodas. Focus on unsweet tea and just good ol' water. Learn to love the bitter taste of unsweet tea and unsweetened coffee.

Think natural food... like the paleo or dash diet. Limit processed foods. No soda, mainly water or unsweetened beverages. Think what would a caveman eat... and then eat that. In the cereal isle, focus on cereals that are 4 grams of sugar or less. Anything more is just sprinkled topping. Focus mainly on veg, fruit and…

According to your ticker... your almost there! Don't give up now!! Near the end is the hardest part. At this point, don't even worry about what the scale says. Just keep going. Do daily cardio, strength train, and rest. Keep eating healthy. That's all you can do. Also, don't worry. As your body build muscle (weighs more…

When I'm tempted for unhealthy snacks I get healthy ones out (like veggies) and then the unhealthy ones (like whatever is bad food lol). Make it a rule... eat two bites veggies, one bite bad food. Try to up it to three bites veggies, one bite bad food. Drink lots of water too!

Eat healthier food. Try to eat 4 cups of veggies a day. Exercise is only part of it. Healthy eating (not just to eat under calories) is just as important.

Increase the dumbbell weight. Do double sessions of Jillian morning/evening. Or -- when Jillian starts a new exercise (hit pause) and keep doing the current one for even longer. Then hit unpause and keep doing this. Start walking 10k a day -- get a pedometer. Eat healthier food.

Try eating frozen broccoli right out of the bag frozen. Like popcorn. I know it sounds weird, but it doesn't even taste like cooked broccoli. It's more like ice. Even my daughter (almost 5) --it's the only way she eats her veggies. I get myself a cup of frozen veg and she requests one too. It's awesome! :D

Trying to bring it up with words doesn't really work. I tried with my wife and it just makes her mad. It's up to her to make the decision if she wants to incorporate fitness into her life. They know the benefits. We all do. But it's easier said than done.

The guy that runs this site: http://scoobysworkshop.com/womens-workouts/ -- is like my fitness god. His site is like my bible. Spend hours here!

JEFIT pro will show you demos and allows you to keep track of just about every exercise known to man. However, I just started using the Fitocracy app which turns fitness into a game. You get points depending on what you do. That app is more social, but doesn't have demos. I prefer Fitocracy because the game feature makes…

This is perfect... thank you so much!!! I've wanted something like this for a long time now!

Get the fitocracy app. It's neat for social aspects and it makes fitness like a game where you get rewards and points depending on what you do. Its also easy to track your progress on there so you can know what to do each week. So I do all my tracking on that app. In regards to your routine, I jumped into a similar one and…

Nope -- no need to track calories burned from strength training --unless your doing P90X or other exercises that are high intensity moving your heart into cardio burning zones.
