Belen, New Mexico. There's a reason you haven't heard of it...

Hi everyone. My jouney is not about weight loss but overall health, solid nutrition, and getting back into an exercise routine. I hope you'll let me join anyway (even though I'll never be the biggerst loser :) My current weight (as of 7/5) is 110. My goal for this week is to start moving again and log 10 miles of…

I'm new here and would like to join (5 days late means I'll have to work harder). Hope my new ticker is working...

I'm no expert but maybe leaner meats would help. Try turkey and chicken breast and some fish. It seems like you are getting a lot of fat from some of the meats in your diet. Hope that helps.

Just sending congratulations from a fellow New Mexican...keep up the great work!

I'm only on day 6 of my first go round with Insanity and I too am way behind the people on screen. The plyo cardio circuit feels nearly impossible to me. I have a terrible time with the push up and knees in/out portion of the workout and my old wrist injury gets me every time. I'm just trying to stick with it, do what I…

Monday April 18th Chrystal559 - 1 64 oz Bobbisoxx - 1 100 oz FitJ1210 - 2 82.70 oz Laurie-1 64oz Bbear- 64oz Already hit my mark today but I'm still going

Awesome!

Don't sweat the small stuff...really. A few things are bound to go wrong but what's important is that at the end of the day you will be married. I got married 2 years ago and am so glad I was able to let the little things go so I could truly enjoy the important parts of the day. Congrats!

This is not a guy thing...it's an American thing! I guess I'll just be watching a lot of college ball...

You aren't eating enough. You have too many calories left over on the days I looked at. Also you should make sure to eat a quality breakfast in the morning to get your metabolism fired up- red bull and starbucks just don't cut it. Good luck.

I'm 5'6'', 110lbs and am very healthy. My doctors and trainer agree that my frame supports this weight and that if I were to be on the higher end of the range (130-147) like you suggest that I would be overweight and would be endangering my health. Please, lets try to respect each other and not be so quick to judge. We're…

Don't forget that calorie burn depends on your weight/age/cardiovascular health etc. I can see from your picture that you are very small like me. There is no way I could burn 3000 calories in a week without being at the gym 24/7. Calories burned, just like calories consumed, are different for all of us depending on our…

I'm 110lbs (a bit underweight for my frame) and am trying to put on a few pound of muscle. I can fill you in on what I have learned and am always willing to lend an ear. Best of luck.

Chesty Glitz-Hooter. Awesome!

Hi from Ft. Collins!

Shape and Fitness- love them!

I make mine in the slow cooker (if you have one). Just put a little bit of water to cover the bottom of the pan and cook on low for a few hours. I use a meat thermometer to make sure it's done. Let it rest outside the pan for ~10 minutes before you slice it to let the juices redistribute. Good luck.

I'm catholic too so I know what you mean. On of my favorites is veggie fajitas: sliced onions, bell peppers, corn, black olives, and canned black beans (rinsed and drained). Just sautee up in a tsp of olive oil and serve with corn tortillas.

Emergen-C!

As a Catholic I was taught to use these 40 days to take a real look into what is keeping you away from a connection with God. You are encouraged to try to give up these things such as lying, heavy drinking, or cursing. Often people add things to their lives for 40 days such as attending church, meditation, or volunteering.…

A brush of olive oil and a tsp of balsamic vinegar is great. Season w/ fresh black pepper, wrap in foil and bake until flaky.

turkey burgers and turkey meatballs are great choices, just pick your favorite beef recipe and substitute the turkey instead

You could try going to a place like sephora (the makeup store) if you have one nearby. The ladies there are great at helping you pick out a few key pieces of make up and then teaching you how to use them. Often times they can give you samples of products and the make up lesson is always free. Just tell them when you go in…

I saw that you were from Greeley and just wanted to wish you the best. Colorado is a state that supports the healthy lifestyle you have committed to. Good luck from Loveland, CO!

Mine is showing some great looking french fries right now. Not exactly the right type of motivation, and it's put bad ideas in my head.

Every doctor and nutritionist I've ever heard speak on the subject says to steer clear of 'cleanse' products. It's not natural or healthy for your body; healthy eating and exercise are the only ways to get to your goal. I would recommend speaking to a health care professional before starting any kind of major nutrient…

Thanks for the entertaining article. I was born and raised in New Mexico and am preparing to move back next year. This article made me excited to return and also made me very hungry!

We're all originally from New Mexcio and love country music! We're going to the Stockyards in Ft. Worth on Friday night and were just looking for something different for Saturday but I'll take any recommendations. Thanks in advance for the tip.
