Ohhh I cannot wait to try this! My boyfriend automatically hates anything vegetable so I want to make it and see if he likes it. :) Sneaky, sneaky!

I like to add parsnips sometimes. I also like barley. :)

I average about twice a week. When I was eating +75% raw foods, I was going every two to three days.

Yellow delicious apples and raw cranberries with a splash of water and a little cinnamon. So good.

This. I add cayenne pepper to mine though. It gives it an added kick. Awesome.

Track it all....

This. As well as people not wiping off the machines after they've finished using them. Monopolizing the cardio equipment. The machine has a 60-minute maximum for a reason.

The treadmill vs. elliptical debate is interesting. I always feel like I've worked out more on a treadmill than an elliptical. I think the guy selling you the treadmill was right.... that is, of course, if you eat a proper diet too.

I think it also depends on your height.

I agree with billsica. I think whoever told you that was making it up. Probably used that as their excuse to not exercise at all. ;)

I want to try this so badly but I work FT, attend grad school FT, and am doing a 700-hour internship. One of my "treats" after I graduate is that I'm going to start attending yoga classes. :)

Go to the Starbucks website, or if you have an iPhone, download the Starbucks app. You can customize drinks on there and get the full nutrition information for each drink.

I can empathize with the frustration. But think about it, that's 10 minutes of busting a** that you successfully completed! It's not easy and you did ten minutes. You're already half way through the first session. Give yourself credit. You did great. Keep at it! <3

Hahahaha, I love this.

Are you afraid that that lemon is the equivalent of a gateway drug? I'm confused. I drank lemon water with a dash of cayenne pepper before and the cayenne was caught in the back of my throat. Other than that, the Master Cleanse sounds pretty stupid. Of course you're going to lose weight if you're consuming your calories in…

I honestly cannot say because I never stuck with it for longer than 5 or 6 days. I noticed my stamina improve and I was able to do more push ups. But as far as weight loss is concerned - I don't know.

I second this.

Sometimes it is, sometimes it isn't. It all depends on how much work I put into the activity.

I really enjoy the cardio workouts. I had completely forgotten about how effective jumping jacks are at producing a nice cardiovascular workout. I absolutely detest the side lunges with raises. Bah! I really hate them.

Because of cholesterol and fat.

I don't want to come off as insensitive but it sounds like there are some issues in the relationship that might need dealt with before making a baby together. If the bed upsets you, maybe you need to think about why exactly that is. Are you afraid he still has feelings for her? Or is it just the simple fact that you're…

I eat extremely large quantities of fruit on most days. In fact, it's a staple in my overall diet.

Dogs are my favorite, although I own one cat. I live in an apartment and dogs aren't allowed, unfortunately. :( But dogs are my absolute favorite. :)

Do what you want. As long as you're moving, it doesn't really matter, I don't think. Also, I can empathize with you because I am also very easily bored.

Sounds to me like it's your MS and/or your sinus infection. Have you spoke to your rheumatologist about whether or not it's okay for you to do yoga and pilates? I can't imagine why it wouldn't be, but it's a good idea to talk to a specialist about dizziness with exercise, especially with a condition like MS.

Mine has gotten that high and it worries me too. In fact, my resting HR is fairly high. I have normal blood pressure but a high HR so I think a doctor's appointment is probably in order for me. eta: I'm 24

This is great. So true.

Sodium is a worry of mine because of my health, so it's something I've been constantly aware of for years. As was already suggested, if you prepare foods yourself, you will find you'll be consuming considerably less sodium. Processed foods are packed with sodium. Luckily, there are mostly low or reduced sodium options to…

Thank you! I love Buca di Beppo! Yummm

I was delighted to find that the machines at the gym I go to are also Polar equipped. I use my watch though too since I like to keep track of my progress, etc. Have you noticed a difference in calories burned on the machine vs. your wrist watch? I have.
