Calories in vs calories out is true to an extent. The issue is that is not a blanket fact. This is nothing new... it's just that there is more to it than that for most, especially women. Those who tell you it is, are wrong. Think about it... if that was true simple math would bring everyone to their goal weight in X amount…

This is entertaining! Two thumbs up for the best thread ever. :drinker:

I have been doing them for 2 weeks now. Love the workouts, but yes she is so annoying! and the pulling people up to demo these simple moves is wasted time, and also irks me. I have started using my ipod when I do it, so I don't have to listen, and going right into the next move instead of waiting for her to pull a member…

This Sunday I made Italian turkey burgers (make turkey burgers with plenty of chopped veggies, serve on portabello cap top with marinara and Parmesan, serve with broccoli), homemade lara bars, breakfast enchiladas, chicken and blackbean sauce with veggies over riced cauliflower), and homemade doggy treats for pup. Can't…

THIS^^ I do the same. The fridge is busting Sunday for the week. It is so worth it. I would live to know how you make your spicy quinoa and sweet potato bites!

Good stuff ladies! I'm excited about incorporating more at home. I did the Jamie Eason Liv fit twice! The program is awesome... that was really my turning point. Modifying it for home is exactly where I am planning to start!

HAHAHA... This made my day :heart:

Lol... kinda what I was thinking. I guess we all have our foods that are "worth" the indulgence. Deep fried pizza rolls wouldn't be it for me, but do enjoy! :drinker:

Heavy lifting, less emphasis on cardio (3x per week rather than 5/6) incorporating yoga, and most of all diet. Lots of veggies and lean protein, light on complex carbs. Split is 35% fat, 35% protein, 30% carbs.

bump!

Quinoa, steelcut oats, couscous, occasionally brown rice (usually mixed with riced cauliflower), sweet potato and sometimes Ezekiel bread.

^^Yes, prepare yourself for the responses. That being said, I do believe when I ate a lot of fruit it hindered my efforts when I got down to the last 10 pounds. By process of elimination in my diet it was the culprit. Now I just try to not go overboard. I started evening it out a bit with veggies to keep the sugar lower. I…

I hated cottage cheese (except for in a shake) until I tried it with diced grilled chicken, franks hot sauce and celery and carrots on the side. Talk about amazing, it's like a chicken wing party without the guilt!

Wow! Agreed. That is awesome!!

So many! Well, I listen to books on my phone as I drive. It really fills up my 2 hour commute each day! Most recent is Super Brain, May Cause Miracles, Spirit Junkie, The Power of Full Engagement, and the Will Power Instinct. All awesome...

Yes! Work in downtown Orlando, live in Sanford.

I love fiber 1 original WITH strawberries, blueberries or bananas... by it self not great, but it is really good with fruit. Only 60 calories per 1/2 cup and 9 grams of fiber!

Such a tough question!... Blackbird is a major love for me.

Sure thing! I just made the cinnamon rolls, and they were so good! Favorite so far.

I would love some friends as well! I love to give and receive motivation and support. All feel free to add me! :flowerforyou:

Feel free to add me. I would love to support your journey!

D!ck Head. Was Mr. Head to us, as he was my 6th grade teacher. If My name was Richard, I would never go by D!ck... unless my last name was head...

Wow, yogurt? That is Awesome! And Tosca Reno is the author of the Clean Eating cook books, and contributor to the magazine. She is also the publisher for Oxygen magazine, which is awesome! :smile:

No, not at all. A heart rate monitor is the only thing you can trust for accuracy.

Bump!

And feel free to add me as well! I'm a Group Fitness instructor and am near complete in my Bachelors of Nutrition Science. I am new to this site as well. I used it for a long time years ago, and just joined back up because I love the community so much! I also like tracking to keep my macros in check. Good luck! You are in…

Cool! I did day 1 today, I agree, awesome video. This is the method of training I would use at the gym, so I am really comfortable with it. She is a little annoying, she reminds me of a wrestler the way she talks. (My kids watch wrestling, not me! hehe) Totally loving it though! Definitely glad I got it! :wink: :smile:
