Welcome

Wow that must have felt amazing.....

I agree....enjoy your fish. Don't worry if you go over on protein, but are still within your cals

If you don't have a heart rate monitor, use the talk test. You should not be so winded that you can not talk. Slow and steady is the key to the program. Once you hit the 5k mark you can increase the pace with (you guessed it) more intervals.

It works!!!!!!!! Ran my 5k in 31:30.:wink: I never thought intervals would work, but they do. For the training, I was doing 4.0 (MPH) for the walking and 6.0 (MPH) for the running on the treadmill.

I bought the book and wanted to burn it. It was a bait and switch. I thought it was a diet how to book and it turned out to be all PRO VEGAN propaganda. I have no issues with vegan books, but tell me that in the summary before I buy it. The language is over the top and uncalled for. The F word is used on every page soley…

Your profile did not indicate if you have had kids. If you have....you may want to get your doc to check your ab muscles to ensure they have healed properly. Other suggestions.... - Place a broom stick across your shoulders. Hold on to the broom stick and slowly twist to each side. The key is slowly. (works you obliques) -…

I found the best running bra ever....... It is the Royce Impact free bra. They come in normal bra sizes so you can find one that fits (30D to 38J). It cradles the "girls" and does not squash them. You can get them at http://www.figleaves.com/us/product.asp?product_id=RE-S826&mci=&size=&colour=&image=r4223-p662174-front

My understanding is you need 10K steps to MAINTAIN weight. My advice is to use the pedometer to set a goal for yourself and up it 10-20% a week. FYI- When I walked 10 miles it took me 18,000 steps. However that is according to my bodybugg.

Have you tried halibut? Yummy and easy to cook in a foil packet. I found it is cheapest at Costco (in the freezer section)

I am in......I am starting P90 on Monday. I thought I would try a round of P90 before trying the X. Starting weight 166 Push-up 12 (military style push-up) sit-up 38 in 1 min Energy level - Sucks.

Really small portions!!!!

At least the deli display/published the calorie count!

Check with your gym. Most gyms offer a free "learn to use the equipment" class. If not, get a session with a trainer tell them your goal is to get a routine and learn to use the equipment. If nothing else, use the machines they have pictures on them and instructions. Start slow. Use a weight that you can do 3 sets of 8 -12…

Fiber One - Oats & Chocolate Bar When I need a quasi healthy chocolate fix I eat a Fiber One Oats & Chocolate bar. Really tasty only 140 cal and 35% RDA of fiber. It makes a good "need to run out of the house" breakfast.

I'd spend the money on some new bras (correctly) sized, before I would by new pants. It's just me but a bad fitting bra can ruin any outfit. Ditch the old clothes.......

Penny, The results maybe slow at first, but they snowball. Make sure you set responsible goals for yourself. The key is both food and exercise. Exercise even if that means only a walk around the block at first....then 2 next week. You will do great!

Your shoes are not drying out between workouts. In a day your feet sweat 1/4 to 1/2 cup of sweat. Buy two pairs of shoes and never wear the same pair two days in a row. Pull out the insoles and open them up to dry/air out . The Bacteria that cause the smell love moist and warm environments. Sounds expensive? The shoes will…

Saw these videos at Walmart yesterday for $10. (in the sporting goods section). However I was a little dismayed at Jullian. Last month on the show she was talking about how much she hated working outside the gym and doing the aerobics thing. She will suck it up to make some money on a video, but will b!tch the whole time…

From someone who has been both where you are and have been on his end. All you can do is listen and be understanding. Don't let him know you are stressed about him being stressed....he needs to be in the game and not worried about you stressing. The deployed person sometimes needs to vent. You are probably the only one he…

Can't wait until I can relate :mad: Congrats

You may want to consider reporting it to the FDA/state health. Don't get rid of the can/bug/spinach. Even better try a CNN i-report and get some national attention on the manufacture.

Way to go.......celebrate with a massage.

Pop your own popcorn is a great Idea (the healthy type that is). Maybe make some homemade trail mix. THe trail mix will give you the fix. A small portion of dove won't hurt you every once in a while.

Well what are you doing? Have you cut too many calories or not cutting to many? It is not always about the number on the scale.....are you clothes looser? What is your fitness plan and what is eating guide?

I think the black team went way overboard. It is like a teenager who gets out of a restrictive home for the first time. If you have a glass or two of red wine a month......it is much better than going on a binge and drinking the whole bottle. If you feel a red wine need try making a spritzer. P.S. What was the former brown…

Make sure you check out the boot camp trainer's credentials. The boot camps are popping up and not all the trainers know what they are doing.

It is a self esteem issue for him. Thank him politely and OFFER a rice cake (loved the Idea). :laugh:

I just ordered P90 (the easier, 30 min&half priced version). P90 is the precursor to P90X and is designed for people who are not is great shape already. I'll let you know how it goes.

Rebcolorado's suggestion is great, but if you don't want to go that high-tech yet and save some money.... A heart Heart rate monitor will do wonders. 1. It will make sure you are not running to fast or slow. 2. It will also give you an approximation of calories burned. I really like my polar fitness F4.
