I fill a 20oz coffee mug each day with 1/4 c. frothed 1% milk, 1 1/2 c. hot water, 3 shots of fresh brewed espresso and a heaping T. of Splenda. My latte runs around 60 calories and tastes close enough to keep me happy with the 'food trade'. Making it at home with a stove top espresso pot sure saves me a bundle of money…

I make extra of 'whatever' for dinner each night and love to take a meal in for lunch. Most meats keep in the fridge for 5 days & pasta for 3, so you don't always have to take leftovers the next day. My favorite is to put a piece of grilled chicken, salmon or steak in a Tupperware container with some frozen veg in the…

When the dessert blues get me down and I feel I just have to get my cake on, I always turn to the magical can of pumpkin. Buy a box cake mix, add a can of pumpkin to it, stir and bake. Don't add the oil, eggs, butter or water; just the pumpkin. It turns out slightly denser than a cake and lighter than a brownie. My…

I've been tracking my calories with a HRM over the past 10 weeks on p90x. My averages are below if you want to compare them to yours. Depending on your weight, you may burn more or less. I'm currently 160 lbs. Yoga / X-Stretch: 280 calories (I log 180 after I deduct the calories I would normally burn during that time at…

Hi, this is my boat. Hop in. :) I hit 62 pounds lost the first week of May; I also hit a healthy BMI, had my thyroid medicine increased and realized I was within 15 lbs of my goal weight all in the same week. I tried all of the same things you've tried. Eating more, eating less, zig zagging. Drinking more water, drinking…

I hate the term 'cheat day' as it implies doing something dishonest or bad. I think we should all make a conscious effort to call our once a week treat day a 'maintenance day'. Find your maintenance calorie total and enjoy yourself up to that point. Experience what daily life will be like once we're all done with the…

My family and I are all taking a weight loss / healthier lifestyle journey together. And throughout this journey, we've had to make many adjustments to the way that we used to view food - particularly desserts. I can empathize with your daughter. I have always run to food for comfort; and because that's been my MO since…

There are three level videos in the 30 Day Shred. You do one video a day starting with level one, and go up one level every ten days so that by the end of 30 days you have progressed through the entire series. The exercises vary by video, but the whole series breaks down into a 20 minute rotation of the following: 2…

I also started it today, but had some difficulty midway through by aggravating an 'almost healed' knee injury - radiating pain. Knowing my limits, I can officially say that I am unable to do any of the cardio jumping. Instead I tried to do extra sets of punches and threw in some squat jacks. I was still able to do bends…
