How old are they? Wii games are geared toward younger kids compared to PS3 and Xbox. Although now that Xbox Kinect has launched, there are a lot of family friendly titles that can also help keep you active. As far as price and/or getting a good deal on whatever system you choose. I use 2 sites for price comparisons.…

Wait, squash is a weird vegetable? lol ;P I like to slice squash long ways and bake it with onions, salt, pepper, and a little olive oil. I usually serve it with rice. Maybe give it a shot? You might like it. Otherwise, check out: http://allrecipes.com/recipes/healthy-recipes/low-calorie/main.aspx You can sort by calories.…

I would say plan your meals now. Google the restaurants around the hotel, download the nutrition info from their websites, and figure out what your going to eat. Personally, I found that what I would have guessed was the healthy option, isn't always the case once I get a hold of their nutritional info PDFs.

There are studies that have been done on junk food addiction. A quick google search will give you more info. I find that when I eat highly palatable foods, especially with unknown or knowingly bad ingredients (super high fat, sugar, etc), I tend to crave them afterwards. After a few days of resistance, the urge goes away.…

I bought the Polar FT4 in the beginning of June. I got it at ****'s Sporting Goods and I think it was $80. They are always under $100 and very good. Worth the money. EDIT: D1ck's Sporting Goods

I haven't branched out into running yet, but I saw this site in a magazine the other day and thought it was a really cool idea. http://jog.fm/ (I don't know the BBCode to actually link it, you'll have to copy/paste, sorry.)

I think you have to be sensible about how often, how many, and plan for a healthy snack at the end of the night. I found this article not to long ago, maybe it will help you as it did me: http://www.thefactsaboutfitness.com/research/alcohol.htm

I found this video on YouTube a few months ago that I thought explained weight vs. fat % pretty well. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ozt-V0PPJaw She shows the 5lb fat and 5lbs muscle models in the video. She also talks about how 1 pint of water weighs a pound but your not actually any bigger even though you would weigh…

Congrats. I haven't had a smoke in 2.5 years. Not one. No cheating while out drinking. It definitely changes your life for the better. I smoked for almost 10 years. It is really hard in the beginning, but as the months add up, it starts to seem weird that you ever smoked in the first place. At least for me. Stick with it,…

Since there are some beach body coaches in here, what program would you recommend for someone just starting out. I have P90X, but I am so out of shape it kicks my *kitten*. I see that they have a ton of programs on their website. What you you recommend for someone who doesn't exercise at all to start with to get in shape…

When I encounter this, I have been searching the "homemade" or "generic" options in MFP and then I choose the one that is the closest to what I'm having and the one with the highest calories. i.e. going to a local restaurant and having a cheeseburger, your options in MFP range from 300 - 800 calories. I try to match the…
