Bump...I need to go get some Butternut Squash to try some of these AWESOME recipes!!

Whatever you feel necessary, really. I know a lot of people use their HRMs for the exercises. I guess its hard to define it as just one thing, as arms/more upper body days its more like circuit or strength, but days when legs are the main target it could be more aerobic or cardio even. Either way, I do the exercises with…

I'm with her. Yes it is "higher" in sodium, however, the fresh veggies really make-up for it in my opinion. I am the type where I will probably bring sandwiches to work anyway, so if I want fast, I do Subway. I get a 9 Grain Whole Wheat, Turkey, pepper jack, lettuce, cucumber, and green peppers for 320 calories. I am also…

Thank you for your lovely story! Its always helpful to see someone else who has gone through so much still achieve GREAT success!!

My boyfriend and I both have been finding how important health and fitness is together. He pushes me to make good decisions and gets on me about not working out enough. He plays tennis around 4-5 days a week, so I usually dont have to push him as much haha At home, when I make super healthy meals, he is COMPLETELY on…

Sure.....haha

I don't mind it. I prefer it, actually. We both enjoy tennis (which is his main form of cardio) greatly. We have played 4 hours over the last two days. We also enjoy biking to the Quarry together and other out doors activities. We don't belong to the same gym (he goes to the one at his tennis club), so I don't know how…

Long term is KEY! I will always love Chipotle. It is unrealistic to think I will never eat it again. Therefore, calorie counting helps me SO much because I and still eat it every now and again and not worry about "gaining all the weight back".

I drink. I enjoy beer tasting, wine tasting, etc etc etc Me taking alcohol out of my diet is incredibly unrealistic, so I don't do it. I am very careful to watch my munchies though....

PS: Pepperidge Farm Thin Slices & Wonder - Smartwheat are two of the brands I found that do not have corn syrup.

I know!! Shopping is REALLY difficult! We still to a lot of locally made stuff because they still use sugar in almost everything...I was just surprised....BREAD!!

I need week 1 results from.... Lect Creiche saydee3 I will be able to give results for week one once they get there stuff to me :smile: :flowerforyou:

In the end, it is all about checks and balances. If I can feel that I am craving something (like Chipotle for me), I'll indulge in my favorite treat. That evening, however, I typically do some extra cardio or play some tennis. This helps me stay on the wagon without completely depriving myself of what I want.

Honestly....JCPenny! I am five feet tall and usually have the hardest time with pants (and tops, due to length) and have had GREAT success! I was able to find capris and bermuda shorts that fit GREAT! I play lots of tennis, so the shorts have done me well! They also have some kick *kitten* pencil skirts...I bought one in a…

$100 a month? Meaning $25 dollars a week? I guess that is doable, but I'm not sure you'll get all your proper nutrition. Here are some recommendations: 1.) Shop Online Coupons - There are lots of free sites 2.) Buy the Sunday paper - More coupons a.) Pay attention to the circulars. You may have to go to multiple stores,…

ROFL

So I can properly think this through, so this company is the one "seeking" you out?

Actually you and everyone else that made this comment is not "correct". You don't have to agree, but you aren't right either. If I weigh myself at 158, then chug the equivalent of one pound of water, I am going to "GAIN" 1 pound and weigh 159. You "gained" weight, but you do not actually gain weight that you should be…

I posted a topic about Hot Tea a couple weeks ago...I have also noticed that it keeps my food cravings at bay.

EXCELLENT! You look go great! Keep up the AMAZING and hard work! Show your sister whose boss ;D

The easiest thing to go is get a whole chicken or turkey, toss in the oven (Typically around 350-400) for the time needed for a bird of its size to cook. Add seasonings like, celery seed, salty, pepper, (I also like basil and dried dill). I toss in a little low sodium chicken broth versus just water in the cooking dish for…

But add in work, eating, children, family time... I am also very curious about this, as I have MANY friends that are of Islamic faith and I know some of them said they struggle with being able to get everything completed.

Terminated reminds me of Arnold - "I'll be back."....SO, I prefer abolished! ;D

I saw someone needs to tape me for two week so I can get a free trip...Thats all Im saying haha

Bump

Good Morning Ladies! With Gary going through so much, I have decided to just take some of his old challenge material from last month!! Either pick the exercises from the Pygmy or the Bushmen. You do not have to do BOTH! _____________________________________________________________________________________________________…

Salmon (cooking spray, tin foil, toss on some seasoning, some chopped up veggies...Seal the foil so everything is in a 'bag'...Cook on 350-375 for 20-25 minutes) Boca patties (little high in sodium but better than many alternatives) Skim Milk Egg Whites I pre-portion EVERYTHING. My salmon, I buy them, portion, and toss in…

Bump....I use ONs 100% Natural Whey, so I would like to hear what other people have to say

Hello ladies!! Gary has gotten in touch with everyone. He has been dealing with a death, so he wasn't able to post. He said he will be posting the workouts EARLY tomorrow morning. Gary, if you read this, thank you for your hard work and we are in all of our thoughts!!

Maybe just take a nice leisurely walk :happy:
