  • Avoid the OJ...the citric acid will just irritate his sore throat. Not great calorie-wise, but a peppermint mocha always helps me! The warm coffee and mint soothe your throat and help clear your sinuses just a little, and the mocha...well...it's chocolate!

  • Yeah, a bunch of catty you-know-whats this season. And the quitters...unbelievable. Anyone who didn't make the show would love to be where they are. Can't pick a fave, because so far, I don't like any of them.... Created by MyFitnessPal.com - Free Calorie Counter

For beginners, that is best accomplished with an experienced teacher. I admit, I'm a fan of the "Turbo Fire" workout videos...they're…

  • I've struggled with my weight for a long time, too. I can tell you that the best success I've ever had was with counting calories (which I pretty much equate to PAYING ATTENTION to what I put in my body) combined with exercise. If you managed to lose weight with only changes to your diet, then adding exercise to your…
