    in Hi from Toronto, Canada.. Any other Canadians?! Comment by RimRK January 2012
  • Hey guys, I have a workout buddy. We workout together 5 days a week, circuits/tabata style workouts. We are both graduate students so we set up the time at 7:30 am and just went with it. I think it really depends on the person who you are working out with and what they want out of it. My friend and I both have different…

    in Troubled chocoholic Comment by RimRK January 2012
  • I am suffer without the chocolate guys. It's wrecking havouc to my happiness:P My friend suggest I get chocolate pudding, Jello makes low calorie ones. So I think I might try that. I could never have 5-10 chocolate chips.. No restraint:P But I do agree with MFP I have been so aware of my food!

  • I am always hungry or so it seems. Alot of the suggestions are fantastic on here, I find that having a protein really helps satisfy the hunger. If you are hungry right after a meal you should think of adjusting the protein and carb ratio. Personally, I make sandwiches from bagels and weight watchers bread that are full of…

    in Saving calories? Comment by RimRK January 2012
  • YES! Come on people! A 100 is NOTHING. There's a variety of different ways of doing crunches/set ups. For those of you just starting I suggest simple crunches, for those of you who gym often (I am talking about myself here as well) I say 100 crunches but alternate them in terms of difficulty, legs up, or even change them…

  • Personally, I love bodyrock.tv . Alot of the old exercises use body weights:) Youtube also is a terrific place to get routines if you have one piece of equipment, ie. a medicine ball. Hope that helps!
