Just be sure to weigh yourself once per week at a designated time [I do Monday mornings-- gives me some weekend accountability]. If you weight yourself more often, you'll drive yourself batty with how your weight fluxes. I was stuck at one weight for a long time, so that's when I started paying attention the the NSV by…

I recently made garlic parm quinoa with mushrooms. It was deeeelish. I cooked the quinoa & the mushrooms separately. I made mushrooms in foil on my George with olive oil and pepper. When the quinoa was done, I mixed in some garlic powder [fresh would be great, too] and grated some Parmigiano-Reggiano. Then I mixed in the…

After being wrong on my goal weight, I've decided the scale can't answer the goal anymore. I'm 5'9'', and based on internet searches, I think I am medium boned. I started paying attention to my weight when I was max 160, so I thought 140 was a reasonable goal. Now I'm almost to 140 and think, "Hey, I'm still incredibly…

I am intrigued. Bump!

Fun thread to find today. I'm tall, and by outward appearance, lean. I know better, and I'm trying to lose some of my squishy. [True story: a guy I dated once told me he liked that I wasn't rail thin, he liked that I am "soft." While I also agree that I like not being rail thin, I want to be more tone, less soft! :laugh:]…

I started on 2/7 as well! :) My hamstrings and glutes are pretty sore, but I'm really happy I did X Stretch today! I'm looking forward to our first check-in tomorrow. I don't have much weight to lose, so I'm tracking my success one millimeter at a time! Best of luck to you.

A cup is 8oz, or about 250 ml. 8 cups is just shy of 2000 ml per day. I have a water bottle that marks 32oz & 1000ml on it, so I try to have AT LEAST two per day.

It depends on how strong you are. I did the 30DS with 3lb weights and would sub in my 5s or 8s for some exercises when I knew my body needed more weight. Then I moved to using 5lbs as the base.

How did you know those mini-Reese's Peanut Butter Cup commercials were haunting me?! Making my own will be much more rewarding!

Love it. Thanks for sharing!

I know some Fitness 19 locations offer free child care.

If you like videos and want to try something new, Core Fusion is pretty great. There is an entire video dedicated to thighs and glutes http://www.amazon.com/Exhale-Core-Fusion-Thighs-Glutes/dp/B0021R52IA

I often make a chicken breast on my George and then steam a pepper wrapped in foil with a little no-cal olive oil next to it on the grill. Or I cook some broccoli or spinach. I like my chicken with just a little salt and pepper, but my biggest recommendation would be to get Cavenders All Purpose Greek Seasoning. You can…

When you ladies start the video, post a review with some comparisons! :) I hope she's not just re-branding something identical to 30DS.

Well, false alarm. My computer cannot play the p90x that I have borrowed, and I cannot afford to spend any money on it... so I guess my waiting, hoping and preparing was useless. URGH. Good luck to you all.

Ha, with our staggered three weeks I am sure we can share some notable advice. :)

Interesting! Sounds a lot more natural than my Jello fat-free, sugar-free option!
-
I wonder if underreporting is due to not knowing portion sizes. I don't use a food weight, perhaps that is the problem?

I flagged hundredpushups.com for myself eons ago because I read that the push-up is "the perfect exercise." Naturally, even though upper body strength is my weakness and my arms are my "trouble spot," I have yet to attempt the challenge. Now that I see people are interested, I'm going to try to keep up with all of you! :)…

In the last two weeks, I have made three of these flatout pizzas [though I bought the light original bread rather than the italian]. I add a little goat cheese for protein as well as my new favorite thing: turkey pepperoni. Coupled with the goat cheese, that brings me to nearly 20 on the protein scale not counting the…

Bump :) I'm baking a tweaked version of this right now: http://lowfatcooking.about.com/od/bakedgoods/r/Bananaoatmealbread.htm [Specifically, yogurt instead of buttermilk.... and regular flour]. Smells gooood... let's hope it tastes good too! I'm very interested to see how the bread is with oats. With my ingredients,…

Actually, the light beers like those mentioned above have a significantly lower alcohol content then regular beer. For example, MGD is 143 cals, 4.9 % alcohol. MGD light is 110/4.2, and finally, MGD 64 is, obviously, 64 cals, but has only 2.7 % alcohol. This is why the lowest-cal beers aren't good for people who intend to…

I found this online for a low-sodium chili powder recipe. http://www.lowsodiumcooking.com/free/ChiliPowder.htm Gotta love that google.

I am also a buffalo-flavor addict. I make a buffalo chicken soup that satiates the desire [for a few days!] and is only about 231 per serving if made with low-fat/no-fat ingredients. http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Buffalo-Chicken-Soup/Detail.aspx I had no idea how much sodium Franks Buffalo sauce has in it until I logged the…
