Thanks everyone for the suggestions! I'm going to look into quite few of them. I just like seeing what others do that they find effective, and I was looking for some new things to do to keep things fresh.

I don't think I'd survive a workout at all without music. I'm right there with you. I was just basically posting for some new ideas. Something to switch it up. I've gotten some good suggestions.

I've been thinking of a training for a 5k, I should probably try that first. LOL Thanks!

My gym does have classes, from what I hear, great ones too. I'm a night owl when it comes to working out and the classes are over by then. I really do need to just suck it up and go earlier to get some in. I'm thinking of picking up some new Jillian dvds for days I can't make it to the gym. Any particular one you felt gave…

Oh, that sounds like a good one. Push-ups are the devil. lol I'll have to give that a try. Thanks!

No, I don't have an issue increasing weight. It's just doing the same type of workouts. I've seen some pretty good suggestions though. I love going to work out- I was just looking for some new things to do there.

I read a post on here about that book recently. I guess I should just break down and buy the book. I like lifting, so it would be good to have some new moves and a new workout.

Honestly, I'm the only one of my local group of friends that workout. The ones that do want to go are slightly more interested in chitchatting on the treadmill than getting their butts kicked. Possibly could workout with my brother, that might be more helpful.

Thanks, just started researching it. That could be exactly what I need, something to push me a little more.

I've been looking for a thread like this! I'm also 5'8, and I'm stuck in the 160's. I'm back to 168ish now, but had gotten down to 160. I want to see the 150's. How are y'all getting past plateaus? What are your calorie intakes? MFP says I need 1200, but I'm beginning to wonder if it's too low. I was in the 130's in high…

You're so right, veggie sticks just don't do it when you're in the mood for chips. I'm going to look into the roasted chickpeas, too. Thanks!

I can put down a bag of baby carrots when I'm having a serious chip craving. lol I might have to try the horseradish and mustard, never heard of it.

I've never had Kale Chips.. I'll have to look that up. I've had the Special K chips, those are pretty good. I've tried Hummus once, and didn't care for it, but I may buy a different brand and give it another shot. I always forget about pita chips. You just get pita bread and bake it?
