I love it and drink one almost every day. I've stopped using romaine (for the most part) and like kale, swiss chard or even collard greens instead. I try to stick to roughly the same proportions. Also, I bumped up the water a bit as it was too thick. My recipe for one day's drink: 2 c. water, 1/2 banana, 1/2 apple, 1/2…

I just made this. I used pureed dates instead of splenda and neufchatel cheese instead of the fat free cream cheese. Eh, it was okay. The texture is much more like pumpkin pie than bread. I couldn't taste the cream cheese either. I'll enjoy finishing the batch but won't make it again.

I second fitnessbender.com. She's amazing!

This. Sexy or not, he's not worth the heartache. My ten cents.

Along the lines of bodyrock.tv, I've found www.fitnessbender.com. She's going to be an occupational therapists and posts some great workouts - yoga, cardio and circuits. It's all free and the site is a bit easier for me to look at with my teenage son around then bodyrock is. :)

This cracks me up. Is it sick of me that I actually find it motivational?

I totally get the towel thing - I love not requiring a bath sheet! Congratulations! I hope to be in the overweight club (as opposed to the obese one) soon!

I have the exact same problem and I have dealt with it repeatedly; I don't know if it will ever fully go away. And I don't know that there's any one strategy to deal with it. The biggest helps for me have been: exercise - my emotions are always easier to handle when I've been working out regularly; and calling myself on my…

My HDL levels were excellent in my last test. The only thing I can think of (besides general diet and exercise) is nuts. I've read that nuts help your HDL levels and I've been eating a lot more raw nuts lately.

What's your recipe?

I stumbled on this and had to laugh - I started a 4-week sugar fast on Monday (coincidentally it will end on the 30th, just in time for Halloween) as I try and sort out what the heck to do about chocolate and sugar because they are surely my downfall and as I keep losing weight, my wiggle room to indulge in these treats…

Thank you so much. You will be rocking it quicker than you think. I remember the first time the podcast told me I would be running for 20 min straight, I had to go online and double check the routine to make sure that was right because I didn't think I could do it. I did. You will.

I started this summer and am on week 8 day 3 - 28 min run. This program totally works. I had some days where I was sore but nothing that wasn't manageable. I've had many days of "Jesus get me through this because I can't do it" and just WAITING for the podcast to tell me I could stop running but it does get easier and your…

I like the So Delicious Unsweetened coconut milk. It's only 50 calories for one cup (less than skim milk) but is entirely fat (no sugar!); it adds a really great creaminess to my smoothies. I don't really drink it straight; it's okay, but I prefer water.
