Completely agree with this!

I honestly ate like crap my first month of Insanity. I would say try to change up your meals including lunch to lean protein and veggies. You may need to get a HRM to better determine your calories in and calories out to get an accurate deficit (or as close as possible). I would finish out the your last week of month 2 and…

The only person you need to be better than.. is the person you were yesterday. You can choose to get bitter or better.. I'm choosing to get better everyday. The only bad workout is the one that didn't happen. (I remember this when I only have time to do 15 minutes of activity) And my personal all time favorite: IF I QUIT…

I only lost a few pounds when I did Insanity and I was really disappointed when I finally stepped on the scale after the 60 days, but then I took my "after" pictures and I was so much leaner! And I was perfectly happy with that.. I came to realize that I lost fat while gaining muscle. They weigh the same but muscle is a…

I can definitely see where you are coming from and as a mom of three I agree with you. My kids eat "crap" food all the time because I love to bake and it's something that we all do together BUT there should be a limit on the amount and it's in the parents control in choosing what and how much their kids eat (generally). My…

No

Haha! I just travelled from Texas to Iowa and back this weekend and I'm up 3 lbs from Friday. I realized that I didn't exercise on Saturday and Sunday but I was on the road so I ate a bunch of high sodium food. And even though I did go over my calories it wasn't over 11,000 so I know I didn't truly "gain" those 3 lbs. I…

I have it all and just split it into two or three portions!!! Yummy!

Personally I only eat up to half my calories back. This is because I'm trying to lose weight faster but because of inaccuracies in determining calories in and calories out (mostly out). I religiously weigh and measure my food so I assume that my calories in is pretty spot on but my calories out? For that I rely on a HRM,…

I didn't even think about my Quest bars and peanut butter bread! I have these here at home so no need to stop at the store! Thanks

Yes this!! I usually buy chicken and throw it in the crock pot on Sunday and use it throughout the week for different meals such as salads, quesadillas, stir fry, etc. It's a great way to extend a protein for multiple meals throughout the week.

I shop weekly because I meal prep but here are my staples.. I'll exclude my leafy greens. Chicken fish lean ground beef and turkey strawberries grapes carrots apples whole wheat bread whole wheat English muffins potatoes brown rice onion bell peppers lemons kiwi asparagus green beans bananas brocolli

I am so glad that I work from home in a room by myself because I couldn't stop laughing!! Cobburrito salad..

Now I would like to go to one of the TEN restaurants on my street and indulge... Chimichanga please!!

I live in Texas, in the middle of a 70% Hispanic neighborhood... I feel your pain. But my burrito must contain meat.. doesn't matter the kind.. just meat.

I agree about frozen vegetables and making your own salads. If you know someone with a Sam's or Costco card go there and buy your dry goods like rice, beans, etc in bulk. Coupon or look for store App deals, I got a bunch of frozen chicken and frozen fish really cheap at Target of all places just because they had them on…

No.. bunnies are cuddly but not my thing. ETA: Nice legs though!

Haha! I keep forgetting that Central Market isn't a national place.. I love it in there, I love H.E.B stores all together.

I like the chocolate and that's it but obviously because I'm a Beachbody coach I'm biased :yawn: I personally don't treat it as a meal replacement because nothing could replace food for me but I have one every once in a while when I have a taste for something chocolatey. I use other powders to mix in food such as protein…

Just wanted to say that the LapBand does not rearrange any body parts it's a band placed around the stomach to make it smaller vs removing a portion, this is the reason its completely reversible. Not here to argue but I wanted to clarify the facts. [/quote] Like I said my mind is unchangeable, any form of vanity surgery is…

All I'm dreaming about now is a tuna sandwich made with Greek yogurt..

I'm lazy and do the cloves in the steak, I'm too lazy to mince lol

I'm salt, pepper, and garlic girl when it comes to my steak.. simple but delicious. I made my husband put some on the grill yesterday.

I do LOVE their cheese...

My Trader Joe's is rather small so I usually go to Whole Foods or Central Market.

Request sent.

I will be getting this and I cannot wait!

This was going to be my suggestion.

Listen to an audio book, read on my Kindle, watch a show or a movie.. people watch.
