Bump! Love this! Can't wait to try some of these recipes!

This is the best tilapia recipe I've tried. I used Kashi go lean crunch (it's what I had in the pantry) and cavender's greek seasoning instead of italian seasoning (again, it's what I had in my pantry). Yummy!!!! :happy:

Unless you went 3500 calories over what you burned in the day, you didn't actually gain 1 whole pound. Your weight will fluctuate day to day based on many factors i.e. your sodium intake, water intake, monthly "issues," etc. Going over your calories one day didn't cause it. Don't panic! And don't weigh every day! You'll…

The problem with "diet foods" is that they aren't really diet foods. They are still highly processed foods with sugar, sodium, etc. that your body does not need. Buy lots of fruits, veggies, unprocessed foods. I love oatmeal and used to eat the quaker oats express (golden brown sugar) for breakfast, but now I use the…

Go to the message boards and look under General Diet and Weight Loss help. Then read the one title "Newbies please read me." It will answer this and so much more! Good luck!!

Modify, modify, modify! I am on my 2nd week of Insanity right now, and believe me, I did not think I would make it through the first fit test! It's all about pushing yourself to your own limits. Don't give up on P90X just because you thought it was too hard. Modify the moves if you need to. Stop and rest when you need to.…

Bump!

:smile: I'm back for round 2! No weight to lose, but I need to be accountable to someone to maintain and continue what I've started!

My love for Turbo Jam has been an acquired one. It took a little to get used to them, but now I love to switch them up. I don't have a heart rate monitor or anything, but I log the Turbo Sculpt as strength training and all the Cardio Party's (1, 2, and 3) as general aerobics. The Fat Blaster is one of my favorites because…

I am a mom of 3: 6 yrs, 2 1/2 yrs, and 15 months--and my middle child is disabled. I work full time, and my husband travels for a week and a half at a time, and sometimes isn't home for more than a few days at a time so a lot of the time I am a single mom. I have the same dilemma. I AM NOT a morning person, and I already…

Down to 151.8 from 155.2 last week. Not real sure how that happened, but pleasantly surprised! I've met my goal. Now I've really got to work on toning.:smile:

Hope everyone is having a great week so far! Just need to vent for a sec. My schedule has been so out of whack these last several weeks. Yes, I'm still seeing the numbers drop on the scale, which is great, but my exercise routine is just not happening the way it was. I've been and continue to walk on my breaks at work. I…

Oh yeah, and you could also throw a little grated parmesan cheese on them. Yummie!

I have a steamer, and I love using it to cook vegetables. I season them with the usual salt and pepper, but sometimes I'll use garlic pepper, cavender's greek seasoning, just whatever I feel like. The steamer works well with frozen veggies too. It gives them a completely different taste than cooking them in a pot of water.…

I did day 1 of the situps challenge last night (started at week 3 in the third column--just to give myself a little challenge). It was tougher than I thought to bust out 5 sets of situps, but I made it...WOO HOO :bigsmile: ! I went ahead and started the pushups challenge too. I could only do 1 pushup (:grumble: ) on my…
