  • I love this thread! "I don't care about yesterday, today is a new day--LET'S GO"--Jillian :smiley:
  • A lot of the polar seltzers come in diet (which has it's own issues :-1: ) but they taste just like soda/pop with way less calories. My favorite is the Orange Dry, which tastes just like orange soda but only 15 calories! Increasing your protein (greek yogurt for breakfast, leaner meats for lunch and dinner) will also make…
  • keep it going!! I LOVE reading your updates!! You're motivating so many people!! :)
  • I love this thread...keep it up!!! You've got this!! :) I hope to be as brave as you and try P90X sometime in the future...I'm currently doing Jillian Michael's Body Revolution and it is kicking my butt!! It feels awesome to workout and accomplish something though!
  • I don't know if I'm crazy or not yet, but I'm trying to do the Visalus 90 day challenge (unofficially) alongside the Jillian Michaels Body Revolution workout, which is also 90 days.

I just got two knee braces from amazon today and tried them on to see if they'd help. My knees felt SO much better!! I've only used them on…
  • I love working out in the morning because it's a simple way to trick myself!! I get up at 6:30, get on my stationary bike for 45 minutes with my workout music playing, and I'm half asleep for the first half of it as I sit there and feverishly peddle away to the beat of the music. By the time my brain is awake and kickin'…
  • I've heard that diet soda can be bad because your body tastes the sweetness of soda and releases insulin to use the sugar its anticipating. When instead it's a different chemical, your body still has the insulin, which is why you'll crave sweets (or more soda) afterward because your body is still trying to figure out what…
  • Bump!! I loveeee cheesecake. I think I'll do it with once strawberries are back in season and put a few sliced fresh ones on top!
