They're excellent! You can even find Tabata music on iTunes...... I love them and I use them sometimes when I teach my HIIT class.

add oats to your yogurt for a little extra protein..... whole wheat pasta is great protein Greek Yogurt Beans

Great post....thanks for sharing! I like how you said "find the color in your life." :)

thank you for posting that pic froggzy.....I was looking for that.

Also...you cannot convert fat to muscle. You burn fat, stored energy, off your body and you can build muscle on your body. You cannot convert fat to muscle.

If you are truly drinking that much a day and still feeling thirsty I would go talk to your Dr about this. It's better to be safe and make sure there's no medical issue going on here that would cause excessive thirst.

Hill climbing and eventually hill sprints, when you are ready for those. Push ups, sit ups, squats, lunges, planks, low planks, burpies. All the oldies but they are excellent strength building exercises and you don't need any equipment. Have you heard of P90X, TurboFire or Insanity? Awesome home work outs, cardio and…

Maine! :)

that is so rude and they obviously have a few issues they need to work out themselves.....holy moly.

We have ALL been exactly where you are. Jump back in.....who cares if your weight loss tracker goes backwards.....no biggie! The most important thing is that you acknowledge where you are and move forward from there. And, great job for starting before January1st. :) The sooner you jump in back in the sooner you will feel…

Shakeology is my fav....... They have great recovery formula's, too. In January, their new flavor will be released, Tropical, and it will be Vegan.

I ONLY eat the veggie delight :) and I skip the cheese. I do all the veggies and spicy mustard. The meats and cheeses are completely processed and gross ......can't even put them in my mouth. eewwww.

NO....if doesn't have carbs, fat, sugar or nutrition I would not consider it food :) Food is good. Whole grains, colorful fruits and vegetables, good fats, nuts and avocadoes, lean protein......why would you want to eat something that is nothing instead of eating real food?

Use these couple of cold months to cross train. Switch things up a bit! Use and build different muscles and more endurance. You could go to a gym while it's cold, buy some good home DVD workouts, buy some snowshoes! Cross training is a great way to build endurance for running.

Hey There.....a general rule of thumb for calorie counting is 10 calories per/minute.....while working out.......it all evens out in the end b/c in the warm up you don't burn that many but by the end you're probably burning more.....so that's a quick, basic way to guess your calorie burn. I have tested this and it's pretty…

Welcome! :)

Make sure you are eating enough! MFP figures the deficit for you IF you added your goals accurately.......THEN, when you work out it is still letting you know what you should be eating to lose weight. If you aren't eating your calories you will not lose weight b/c your body will start to save everything as extra energy b/c…

That is tough! My dad is a smoker, too, and when my kiddos were little I just asked my dad if he could not smoke in the house while we were around......it was hard b/c it's his house and I love my dad, but, I was concerned with my children's lungs and it just stinks. He went outside, though, while we were there. Another…

I'm ADDICTED to Shakeology......it seems to be the purest, cleanest, most healthy, nutritious shake on the market........It's about $4/shake OR if you are a coach it's $3/shake. Very affordable for health and worth it. I even do a shake every other day to save a little. My problem is that my children also LOVE it! ugh. :)…

Hey There.......wish I had a magic formula for you but ultimately it's burning more calories than you are eating each week. I would be careful with weight loss pills........they might work at first but it's hard to say what the long term consequences are, also, being healthy is a complete lifestyle change.......eat healthy…

Yogurt and especially Greek yogurt, too. All of the above :) To build muscle you need to work your muscles and make sure you're eating ALL of your recommended calories to gain weight! Happy working out and eating :)

Hey.....I use Shakeology and I love it. If you are trying to lose weight then one shake a day should replace a meal.....or, if you just need a nutrition supplement, then add one shake a day as a snack. It's delicious and you will not find that many ingredients and nutrients in any other shake, plus there is nothing…

Oh My goodness! I HATE the yoga, too...... I do an Insanity workout or go for a run on the Yoga days....or just something I enjoy doing, maybe a lazy walk or my own stretching.......I feel like I have ADHD when I start the yoga b/c I know what's coming and how many times I have to repeat the same move and it drives me…

Hey There, I've never actually heard of the green juice diet. I would encourage you to get a great nutrition supplement.....some kind of shake, that is not artificial and has no fillers....all real, natural ingredients....and substitute that for one meal a day......for the other 2 meals plus a snack or two choose healthy,…

Single Parent here, too:) I have 4 kiddos....I've been a single mom for a little over 3 years. Add me as a friend and we can encourage one another!

I think you're asking how you log your activity b/c you don't see it in the database already? You can GUESSTIMATE :) approximately 10 calories/minute when your heart rate is up....this is an average estimate........go to Exercise, find the "Add exercise to database button" then add your workout, the minutes, and the…

Hey There, It is important to your health, joints, muscles, heart, and body to lose some weight before you start running. I understand that walking doesn't feel like a huge workout, but it is working out your entire body. Each week add 10 more minutes. You could and should add resistance training to your walking routine.…

Hey There, Good nutrition in shakes is important otherwise we are filling ourselves up with empty calories. Whatever shake you choose make sure the ingredients are REAL food! Ingredients that you can pronounce and recognize! Not just a bunch of fillers, artificial sweeteners and fake stuff. Good stuff! Happy shake…
