Do you bake them on the same cookie sheet that the olive oil is on, or do you put them on a clean cookie sheet?

How much are you trying to lose? I have noticed that with both of my kids, my body holds on to about 10 pounds until I'm done. I had a hard time limiting calories as well and decided to just go with eating when I'm hungry and making wise choices, but making sure I exercise. When I weaned my daughter at 1 year, those 10…

I SO agree with you. I have realized that about my body. My body's "happy weight" is 140. If I sit on my *kitten* and eat when I'm hungry, I weigh 142ish. If I work my butt off and exercise and count calories and get rid of desserts, etc, I weigh about 138. My body likes 140. In a way, it's kind of comforting rather than…

I just found this post. Wondering who did it and what success you had?

Yep! I have learned to put my shoes down and I stand on top of one shoe, to help with balance, hehe! It works!

Wow. I don't see why it matters so much what others log? This is a nice way to start your entry into the forums.

The underwear in the sink at the gym is disgusting!! Worst I've heard yet. Another grossie - I hate when women come into the locker room, get butt naked and plant their bare butt RIGHT down on the bench, carpeted and everything. EWWWWW!!!!! Really?? do you KNOW how many germs are floating around in there? I don't even let…

This is the funniest thread I have ever ready on any board. I sat and laughed with tears streaming down my face!! The one guy that irks me the most is the big guy (thick and muscular who sweats a lot) running on the treadmill and every 10 seconds or so he yells with a lot of gusto "Huh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" It's like he's…

I'd probably go with the fresh catch first and then the smoked pork chop. The rosemary chicken doesn't "sound" bad but it may be basted in a lot of butters or oils. Definitely stay away from the ribs (*sob*). Get fresh veggies to go with it. Have FUN!!!! :o)

Thank you. I actually started going to the farmers market a couple months ago and LOVE it. I do get all of our veggies there and some fruit. I don't have the foggiest notion where to start with finding grass fed meats....for a reasonable price. Hubs has got to learn to like some beans, lol.

Yeah, we have. They say it is muscular and that massages will help. I'm thinking more natural/organic foods will help though.

When I first started running, I would pace my breathing with my steps. I found out that a comfortable inhale/exhale pattern for me was 3 steps each, so I'd breath in, step 1, 2, 3, breath out, step 1, 2, 3. It also gave me something to focus on during my run and made it much easier. You have to really focus on your…

I am a muffin fiend. These sound so yummy. Thanks!

Yum!

LOL. What, do you mean it's not normal to work out naked??? lol. I guess I just kind of meant the full work-out get up. Like the underarmor type clothing or just raggedy old t-shirts. A lot of times I hang out in a tshirt and undies, so I may not put my shorts on to work out. I'd rather not wear shoes, but sometimes you…

What is the banana shape? I've never heard of that. It's amazing though how different shapes everyone is. For my stats, 5'5 and 140 pounds, there are some on there who wear a size 6 and some wear a size 10. That's a big difference.

I really think it depends on the person. I think a heavy person who eats fast food and fried foods could lose weight most easily by changing their diet. For me, however, I eat very healthy in the first place. Exercise is key for me - there's not really a whole lot for me to change in my diet. Always little tweaks, yes, but…

Thank you. It's always great to hear a man's perspective. We women have a tendency to put our arms around each others shoulders and all sigh together about how we "try" and it's "just not working." Men tell it like it is and say suck up your *kitten* and get in there! lol. You are right. It's not worth it if you aren't…

Aha. Thanks. There is so much to these programs. It's a lot of money to invest in something before getting the details. I was motivated by the fact that she got the results she did by not following the nutrition plan to a T.

That's what I was just reading up on myself, after I posted my question. So, now my question lies in, what is the difference between p90x Lean and Insanity? Both seem to be aimed at weight loss rather than muscle building and both involve more cardio than p90x classic. Wondering what the difference is?

Okay, cool. Maybe that is the better option then. By the way, you DO look amazing. :) I'm not sure I would want to follow the food plan for P90x either, but maybe doing the cardio/insanity would be better for me. Thanks!

That's always been my concern. Couldn't I have the same results if I did ANYTHING 6 days a week for an hour and a half? I consider myself in decent shape. I work out 4-5 times a week and have about 15 pounds I'd like to lose. I've wondered if its "the" program that does it or just the fact that when people start it, they…

What is the difference between the Lean program and the Classic program? I'm interested in this but haven't bought it yet.

OH EM GEE...... lol. Those sound divine. He is a bacon finatic and will go crazy over those! Thanks! I'll be making them soon.

He will them. He's a good sport about it. But he doesn't LIKE them. I'd just like to find a veggie that he looks forward to. He's very healthy and lightweight, athletic, etc. So it's not a weight issue, just an "eat healthy" thing and I truly enjoy cooking but I like cooking things that people like, lol. :)

That sounds divine. I think I'm going to try it!!!

These all sound very yummy! Thank you! :)

Ooh, I LOVE asparagus. Actually have some in the fridge for tonight. He hates it. :( He'll eat it, but he gripes while he eats it. I wish I could find something he actually likes though. I broil my asparagus in olive oil and salt. They get crispy and you can eat them like fries. :)

GREAT point. There are many nights that my husband asks if I want ice cream while we are watching a game or a movie. I usually tell HIM to put it in a bowl. He usually puts in 2 average scoops, while I fill the bowl with 3 giant scoops, lol. I guess there's a reason he's trying to GAIN weight while I'm trying to LOSE it.

I am SOOOOOOOOOO addicted it's not even funny. I even put the kids to bed EARLY on Tuesday nights. lol.
