  • Don't buy ice cream. I know it's not healthy to deprive yourself of foods...but it's also not healthy to eat tons of ice cream every night. It's your body, your health, and your choice. Choose not to buy ice cream at the grocery store. What's your favorite ice cream sundae? Tell yourself you'll have that on Saturday. Don't…
  • Homemade of just about anything is healthier than buying it from a can. For chili you can make it healthier in lots of ways: -- Use lean ground turkey. (Check the ground turkey though, some varieties have just as much or more fat than beef.) -- Use regular ground beef but, after browning it, rinse it and the pot well.…

  • Define beatiful. If it's a 5'10" cat walk model...then 99% of us are never going to look like that. But don't fall for that. Teenage girls struggle with that but we shouldn't. Like the other poster said, you're ALREADY beautiful, you just can't see it. Here's an example, I have a friend who had a baby. Afterwards, like all…
  • Here's what I ended up doing...if I want ice cream, I go to Cold Stone and get a small cup of half regular ice cream, half sinless sweet cream. I savor it and I go home. If I do this, I don't eat an entire tub of ice cream and I don't stand in front of the fridge fighting not to eat ice cream. I have the treat and I go…
  • I started month 2 today. I'm really, really enjoying it. Definite challenge but I'm doing things I've never done before, toning up more than I ever have before, and having fun! Note: I wouldn't recommend P90X for a beginner to exercise. I worked out 4 times per week before starting a month ago. However, I'd really…
