This sounds like an extremely intelligent idea. I think that would be best for both of you. Usually issues with trust stem from an individuals own insecurities. Bringing those insecurities to the surface not only will help your fiance deal with the issues he is most likely having, it will also bring you two closer together…

I usually have 24 oz of water with every meal and snack which really helps with feeling full. Hot drinks also help when you're feeling hungry! Make sure you're getting plenty of fiber and you're getting some kind of protein at every meal and snack. That should help! If you haven't tried out whey protein powder - that's a…

The major problem with cheap protein powders is that they usually do not contain all of the required amino acids for muscle building. The $50 dollar powders are usually more robust and honestly they taste a whole lot better too. Muscle milk isn't great either...I use Dymatize elite (it's whey protein isolate) and although…

Did you try sticking these in the microwave for 20 seconds or so to make them soft? The chocolate brownie tastes WORLDS better this way. All of them taste phenomenal when heated up. They taste like warm cookie dough!

@Karamel - Look like a Jasmine to me!

@jeceke My first instinct was Megara from Hercules...but then I got to thinking and you look like Ursula from the little mermaid when she's all transformed into that gorgeous, sexy lady who stole Ariel's voice. Definitely NOT the octopus version!!!!

Thanks so much everyone :) I guess I'll just go for it. I need to grab some medicine balls though... Do any of you have any recommendations for how many medicine balls I should get? Should I get a variety of weights? I saw that they do balance pushups on them...what's the best size for that?

Egg whites for breakfast EVERY DAY! So low calorie and all they are is protein. Throw some veggies and seasoning in there and you've got yummy, protein filled, low cal breakfast! Quest bars are also delicious. Stick them in a microwave for 20 seconds or so and you've got what tastes like a fresh baked cookie but has 20 g…

A big ol' salad with some grilled chicken or tuna on top. Avoid dressing and cheese if you can! If you put enough of a variety of veggies in, I find that dressing and cheese gets in the way of the delicious taste of the veggies :)

Oh my gosh! It would be impossible not to take breaks during insanity!! Especially in the beginning. Don't get discouraged. You'll find that next week you'll be able to keep up more and take fewer breaks. Just do what you can - if you're sweating and breathing hard, you're getting a good workout :) I'm a P90X grad,…

I make a low carb shepherds pie: http://www.food.com/recipe/low-carb-shepherds-pie-119859 When I'm too lazy to cook anything elaborate I usually make a taco salad: ~1 lb of ground beef ~1 can of salt free diced tomatoes ~1 can of low sodium canned corn ~1 can of low sodium black beans ~1 packet low sodium taco seasoning…

Well that sucks. A TV show shouldn't sacrifice individuals even if it does inspire thousands upon thousands of people :-/

I think there's a thorough possibility that the 1000 calorie comment is being blown out of proportion. There's also a possibility that it's true. I don't think there's any way that any of us could know. It just sounds to me like they're not going to be pushing the kids to those limits anyway - it sounds like they just want…

Ohhhh, I see!!! You're right. I personally think that's kind of cool! How is promoting healthy lifestyle promoting eating disorders??

They're completely redoing biggest loser next year. Instead of adults, it's gonna be teenagers - and Jillian Michaels is coming back!! They're not going to have the weigh ins and the elimination like we're used to - instead it's going to be more focused on combatting childhood obesity through more activity, etc. At least…

Anyone can feel free to friend me!! I'm currently on day 15 of doing P90X and Insanity simultaneously :)

If you find legs and back less challenging, add weights to everything - even when Tony says "no weights". I'm carrying at least 15 pounds in almost every exercise. I was experiencing the same thing - now it's a heck of a lot harder :)

I'm on day 15 of doing P90X and Insanity simultaneously :) Feel free to add me if you'd like!

Cool! Thanks guys :)

Thank you!! ^^ Anyone else?

I'm currently running Insanity and P90X simultaneously. I just finished off week two :) Feel free to add me if you'd like! Insanity is HARD. I'm a P90X grad and it's still freaking HARD. The first week was a huge wake up call - but by week two it was already easier. Just do what you can, push through, and you WILL get…

I'm currently running P90X and Insanity simultaneously! I just finished up week two today :) Feel free to add me if you'd like!

I'm so sorry to hear that you had such a bad experience - but don't let this get you down. Think of this day not as a day of failure - but as a new beginning. Now you have the motivation you need to succeed. Think about how wonderful it is going to feel when you get to ride the Mantis next year (although Millenium Force is…

Getting a CT scan when I was two when I was paralyzed from Guillain Barre Syndrome. I remember being so terrified but unable to communicate what I thought was going to happen to me. I blatantly remember thinking that it was going to flatten me like a pancake. Not fun. What is your favorite high protein meal?

Yep! France (as an exchange student), Mexico (for a community service trip), and Canada (just for fun!) What is your favorite high protein meal?

I would eat small portions the rest of the day and keep it really clean. Maybe some grilled chicken and veggies for dinner. You will most likely go over a couple hundred calories - but don't panic seeing that red number! Instead, tomorrow cut off whatever calories you went over from your allowed caloric intake. It…

I'm in my second year of a phd program in molecular biology! I know what it's like to be truly pressed for time, haha! Feel free to add me!

I'm a grad student in a PhD program in molecular biology!! I know how hard it is to keep a healthy and active lifestyle with a ridiculous schedule. (Especially when protocols involve 4 FULL day in situs UGH!!!) OH! Not to mention I feel like they always have cookies and free food for us - ughhhhhhhhh!

I don't think this is uncommon. It is her own insecurities for NOT taking on your lifestyle that is making her lash out. Instead of self-evaluating and realizing that your lifestyle is something that she probably would want for herself (without the hard work!) she's making an excuse and blaming her disappointment in…

Feel free to friend me!! Today is my last day of Week 2 of doing P90X and Insanity at the same time :) I'm a P90X grad and saw incredible results my first round. I haven't posted pics yet (mainly because I'm lazy) but I'll try to get them up soon.
