Wow - I was just gonna post this same thing. Yesterday was a very long day at work and I was super tired, and did the 45 EZ class when I should have done the Fire 45 class. It was my first time doing the 45 EZ class and it seemed a lot tougher than the 45 Fire class. I figured maybe I was just feeling sluggish, but now I…

I love Glee! Haven't seen the latest episode yet, but I checked out the song and it's definitely awesome. Since I'm doing the HIIT 20 workout today I should have enough time to watch after. =)

Awesome ideas. I've also discovered that when craving cheesecake, blending cottage cheese with a bit of sweetener gives it a lovely, super-creamy texture that satisfies. Add some berries and/or some graham crackers or cereal and you've got a yummy dessert/snack.

Thanks Cookie. I've always done my cardio in the afternoons, but now that I've added the weight training in the morning I definitely notice that I'm been a lot hungrier, and much earlier in the day. I'm hoping that's a good sign that my metabolism is actually speeding up a bit. I haven't increased my overall calories…

I'm totally on board too! I just started a hybrid of Turbo Fire and Chalean Extreme last week, and I love them both. I've been neglecting weights for a while and it's so nice to get back into it - I feel leaner and stronger already. I love these workouts so much more than P90X and Insanity. I feel like the burn is the…

Exactly what I was thinking.

I totally agree! We had an egg hunt at work too. Some eggs had cash prizes, but I ended up with nothing but candy. :angry: I ate some and it was so sugary I felt almost sick afterwards. It's just the dark stuff for me from now on.

Thank you for sharing. Some of these flavors sound better than the originals!

When I didn't eat them back, the scale didn't budge an inch. Now that I eat them, I'm losing consistently. Like Naomi said, you'll find tons of opinions on here, but I think it's best to test things out for yourself.

I just had one of these bad days too recently - a potluck at work turned into a gorge fest. Over the last few months I find that I have a really bad day maybe once a month. I think it's a bit inevitable when you're constantly restricting 500 calories each day, especially when you're faced with a ton of food at your…

I like Tara's Whey. A serving has around 20 grams of protein but only 100 calories. I make a smoothie with that, some frozen fruit, a banana and some liquid, depending on what's handy, and it ends up in the 300 - 400 calorie range. I'm always very full afterwards. I prefer the vanilla flavor but they have others and…

I really don't get this eating exercise calories thing. I mean I can comprehend the worry about starvation mode but I don't think it's correct at all. If you're not actually getting your calorie intake of 1200 or so, that's one thing - then you don't have the available calories you need and your body might then start to…
