Hi cool kids! My goal for this week is to get in 4 days of cardio - even if it's only in 20 minute spurts. I managed to get in 30 minutes today and the glass-in-the-foot injury didn't both me at all. It only bothers me when I am barefoot - so I guess I shouldn't go barefoot. :) Emmalusmom - I love when my house is pressure…

Like the others said - you have to rinse them A LOT - and then dry fry them for a minute. that gets rid of the fishy smell. I use them in soups, or with a tomato sauce. The Hungry Girl website has a lot of recipes with the shirataki noodles - I've tried many of them, and they are pretty good!

Wow - you are really an inspiration!!!! congrats on your success!!!

Hi all!!! I'm not new to the site, but new to this thread! I'm 44 years old - and trying to lose about 40 pounds.

Eastern Carolina here!!!

I use Brummel and Brown, it's made with yogurt and has 35% vegatable oil. It has 45 calories for 1 tbsp, 5 grams total of fat, only 1.5 saturated. It tastes like margarine to me. I love it!!

I use Shirataki noodles all the time. It's 40 calories for the whole pack. You do need to rinse them well. I love them......I use them in everything! Edited to add: I only like the Shirataki from Whole Foods, I think the brand name is House Foods or something like that.

I bought my copy on Amazon. It is a great workout - but as with anything, you gotta put in your effort! the only thing I can't stand......is her voice. I think there is an option to hear the music only......I just haven't switched it. I did it for 15 days, but got sick, so I guess i'll need to start back at day one to get…
