Awesome, thank you! If you download mine, I'll buy yours when you publish! It's always awesome to meet other authors and to be able to support them. :)

I've selfpublished my first and am editing my second. https://www.facebook.com/aprilplummerauthor I hate promoting...but take a look, like my page, buy my book! :)

Bananas!!! They always perk me up when I'm sleepy. :)

ENtered! I so want a shirt! We need to make them available to buy.

Perfect. I saw it on eBay for about $50 at the lowest price...that's not bad. But I'll wait until I finish Phase III....so another 40 days. Normally only 90, but I have the week in Canada in there. So....finish this recovery week...I'd say by the end of September, sooooo October. Oooh! New Goal!

Thank you for this one - I didn't know the difference between Whey and Casein. That is good to know. I usually have my protein shakes in the morning. On days I lift, it's after my workout. On days I don't, it's just the first thing I drink (in coffee). So...perhaps I should buy the Casein also for those days. I drink the…

First of all, great OP! You've inspired me! This is so tough, but so worth it! Second of all, to this that I quoted, EXACTLY. You do what you want. What makes you happy. I enjoy sometimes doing HIIT on my elliptical while watching one of my shows on Netflix or reading, but more than that, I love the different interval…

You can do CLX at home, right? I'm thinking of buying it next, as a reward for finishing P90X (I have one more Phase left). I probably will incorporate it with P90X and Insanity...but we'll see. If I even get it.

Eh.

This also. It makes me feel a bit like how it is between my husband and me regarding God. I believe. He doesn't. I can't preach to him. That would turn him off. I don't judge. I simply live my life in a way that I think and hope reflects Christ, hoping that it rubs off on him and he'll want it one day.

I kind of agree with this. "Kind of" because we of course, don't know all the details. I think that when you sit down with him to discuss his finances, that is the perfect time to bring this up...but not in a "I'm worried about your weight" sort of way. More like...add that the junk food is one of his non-essential…

I appreciate what you're saying, but it's your opinion only. You can choose to believe the Bible is outdated while others can choose to follow it. That doesn't make you right and them wrong, or visa versa. Just sayin'.

Eat them back. When you're burning that many calories, your body needs the fuel. Take it from someone who DIDN'T always eat them back. I became weak, my workouts eventually started to suffer.

I promise you sweetie, you will not bulk up from protein.

I quit. I used Chantix, though I only used it for a week. Partly because I didn't need it and partly b/c of the crazy dreams it gave me. Whenever I felt the desire to smoke, I took a short walk instead. The same thing I do when I feel the urge to binge. It helps, and you get a little exercise instead!

This is basically what I said, only much more succinctly. :) My husband and I were talking love and marriage by the second date. By 3 months, we had been living together for 2 months already. So this situation would NOT have been okay. But if you were off for the past month...and now you're suddenly back on...I don't see…

Well, it doesn't sound as though you two are very close or intimate. If that's true, then I should think you shouldn't be too upset by it. Have you two decided to be monogamous? If you have, then I'd have an issue. If you haven't, then...try not to. I probably still would, but if you haven't decided to just make it the two…

Yup. I do. I also sometimes drool during lifting. LOL Don't ask.

This is a pretty funny thread. I'll go with The Accidental Husband. He never expected to fall in love and get married a second time, especially since he never really loved his first wife, exactly.

Absolutely not! I have my daily protein coffees - basically, iced flavored coffee of my choice (chocolate, hazelnut, strawberry, caramel...) with a scoop of my chocolate whey protein powder. And I usually have another cup at one point throughout the day. I love my flavored coffee and won't give it up unless the caffeine…

I started mine on a Tuesday, and it actually works out perfectly with my schedule!

My biggest non "clean" thing is wine. I love my glass of red wine in the evenings. That said, I focus big time on getting my protein because if I don't, I don't get enough of it. I focus on getting it through lean meats, and my protein powder. Without it, I wouldn't get enough. After that, I worry about carbs, but I know…

Honestly, I'm not sure why you haven't seen results, at least in the weights you can lift. I notice a difference every single week in my strength, flexibility, and stamina. I just finished up Phase II of Round I. I did begin to incorporate some Insanity videos also. I'm doing my own sort of doubles hybrid with the two. I…

I think it's mostly the dressing. Just get the dressing on the side, or none at all. Croutons also probably...just be selective about what goes into your salad, and you'll be fine, no matter what restaurant you're at. I don't shy away from ordering salads, I just make sure they aren't full of cheese and croutons and…

6 days a week - 3 days a week, I lift and do cardio, the other 3 days are just cardio (interval training)

But it CAN be the ultimate health food if you put enough protein on it and don't have too much fatty dressing. I actually don't use dressing at all. I have salads nearly every day for lunch AND dinner. But I always put lots of protein on it, and I mix things up - sundried tomatoes, fire roasted peppers, dried cranberries,…

Hi everyone. My name is April. I'm on the road to recovery from anorexia/bulimia, and it's not easy. I'm here to lend an ear, lend a shoulder, try to help others and sometimes lean on you when Ed's voice (Ed=eating disorder) gets too loud.

I guess when you're that big... I can't quite reach 400 calories burned during the MAX Insanity videos. UGH.

I agree. anyone check out snopes?
