My husband and I do different parts of the P90X.... the Yoga, Abs... and did I mention the Yoga!! haha and I do the "butt-kicking" cardio part occasionally! It's good stuff... I am sure if someone were to stick to the whole plan they would see fantabulous results... we just do it because it's fun!

I wanted to see what would happen if I did not use MFP for two weeks. Needless to say, I have lost 3 pounds!! :oD I cannot believe it! I trained myself enough on here that I can moderate my eating and still lose weight!! SOOO very excited! hehe

Without temptation life would be easier but would we be stronger-willed? Knowing that you can walk by a fast food stand and not give a second thought about it makes you stronger than if it were not there!! We all have temptations but how often do we give in? Take care!

That is STRANGE.. I was in Atlanta visiting family on the 29th of March. They celebrated Earth Day that night and had everyone in the area turn out their lights from 8 to 9pm and all that jazz.... Google even participated and made the screen black instead of white.... I am SOOO confused! To help the Earth, low energy light…

YAY!! That is great! My dad stopped smoking cold-turkey after 35 years!! If he can do it, you can do it!! My dad is a HUGE complainer so imagine what I was going through!! What helped him was the twizzlers!! :oP Find something else to do with your hands.... that is the habit to break!! haha

The site with your starting calories is already set for an individual to lose weight (one pound per week: approx.) without exercise. If you exercise, that allows your more calories to eat. If your starting calorie count is 1200, eat your 1200 and then if you lose 600 calories that day, eat those calories too!! This site is…

You may be losing inches and that is what they are seeing. Have you tried measuring yourself?

You are burning fat and building muscle which weighs more. You are losing inches right now and that is GREAT!! Our goal is not always to "lose weight" but to lose inches!! Your body will soon start shedding pounds. You are starting to build a strong foundation for weight loss. Keep at it!! Have a great day!! ~Mindy

Has anyone seen the commercials about the Nivea Challenge? I saw it yesterday and went to the website: www.niveachallenge.com. I was not sure if it was one of those programs that you pay for. It looks kind of interesting! If anyone knows anything, I would love feedback! Thanks Mindy

And Special K Chocolatey Crunch Snack Bites are VERY yummy and quinch the chocolate crave! :o) Good luck! Oh and yes, eat chocolate in moderation!

Hip Bones, It is very nice to see you again!! You have been hiding under that thick layer for a long time and you finally decide to make another appearance. That is the feminine look you have there! You might even get a compliment or two! I hope you stick around for a very long time. Sincerely, ~Mindy

8 oz is one cup.... so that would be 1/4 cup of noodles. I hope this helps.

I heard about the 1 and 1's as well! Just start jogging at a semi-fast pace and then after one minute, walk for one minute and repeat! I heard this works very well. I have not tried it yet! I can't wait to now that it is much warmer out!! :o) Take care and keep it up!

Any fabric store, in the craft/fabric area of most stores, or ask your doctor or ob/gyn. That is where I got mine!!

My usual morning: 1 cup of Special K with Strawberries and 3/4 cup Skim Milk and 5 large strawberries!

I do have to say that I had a good laugh with the quick swipe to the chin! Good luck! :o)

alimental, alimentative, balanced, beneficial, good, health-giving, healthful, invigorating, nourishing, nutrient, nutrimental, nutritive, salubrious, salutary, strengthening, wholesome Total Vitality.... that is a good one! :oP

I take B6 for energy and metabolism. I have also hear of Phenter NP (it is an herbal phentermine). My friend takes it and I took it once and I had not "jittery" effects. I hope this helps.

Yes... I would get a scale. I found mine at walmart for $7-8. You would be surprised how much you are really eating! :oP

That is wonderful! Keep it up, you are doing excellent!

I do have to say that I don't care where I work out!! haha My daughter (14 months) crawls and lays all over me and I think of it as resistance!! :oP My boyfriend knows that I am trying to get fit and lose weight so if it bothers him, he can go to another room!! Suggestion: Ask your honey to help you with your exercises:…

Two chicken nuggets (104 calories for TWO NUGGETS! ) 1/3 cup of sweet corn Sorry, it double posted me :o(

I was on BC for a long time. When I stopped taking the pill, I didn't gain nor lose weight. I have not heard too many weight things about BC pills but I have heard about weight gain with the "depo" shot(spelling). My friend gained about 35 pound with it :o( I currently use the Mirena, which is GREAT by the way!! I have…

I would still use regular mayo only because the low fat and fat free is VERY disgusting!! Only use enough to "glisten" the bread!! Or whatever you are using it for!! I made tuna fish with just a tiny amount of mayo for the whole can and it was great!! If you find one that taste good, let us know!! :oP

Raisins, nuts, granola bars is a good idea :oP, buy the veggies (corn, peas, green beans) in the little single containers like you would for applesauce or something like that :o) They actually taste better when not heated (don't think I am weird but when your power is out for 3 days you have to eat something!!), oh and the…

Or scramble some egg whites to top your salad for the protein!

You earned 'em so eat 'em!! :o)

Starting weight (last week) : 161.3 Weigh-in this morning : 158.4 Almost a 3 pound loss!! :oD

Yes!! I TOTALLY agree with Bob!! :o) You are doing so good!! Keep it up!
