This is my favorite way to do it too! I'll try it with my stomach sucked in next time.... but he spot on the floor is critical! :)

It is so yummy with yogurt - especially with some sliced bananas and a sprinkle of walnuts or pecans. I love wheat germ - it's slight crunch and nutty flavor. I even put it on top of ice cream before - but well - why would you want to eat ice cream when you can have yummy yogurt?? :)

YES!! One banana and I am sky high on my sugar. It just doesn't seem right. I am also nearly always over on protein and sugar (protein by a lot and sugar by a lot if I have had that sugary banana). I am almost never close on my carbs - usually 25 to 40% below the suggestion. My fiber is generally over too.…

I'm on week 12 and I am just now feeling like I am "getting" the hang if some of it. I feel really awesome when I make it through a 5 minute period with out misstepping! Sometimes on the HITT steps when she goes through it - I find myself unable to remember what she said the first move was!! But like everyone says it gets…

You are already doing awesome... 7 pounds in a month! Wow! I'm in AZ too - and been doing DVDs for the past 2 months and been pretty hit or miss on my diet portion - weekdays are easier - weekends and wine are my down falls. I am not sure how I will survive the summer in the heat this year - with the fitness portion. I…

all that stuff is great. I like to add a sweet kick and do either raisins, dried cranberries or apples plus some spiced pecans. I love sunflower seeds too. I often crush a couple of whole croutons to much smaller pieces so I can really enjoy them through out the salad. Usually just 2-3 will do the trick. I also like to do…

Hang out with the pickiest eater and keep thinking about having to run off every chip slathered in guacamole - or chow on a banana right before you get there - you'll feel totally full and not a bad way to replenish after your run - better banana calories than swedish meatball calories (put some celery sticks in your…

I allowed myself to indulge in the informercial during a late night of months ago- and I am now beginning week 5. I started only about 10 pounds from what I believe is a terrific (one I haven't seen for 6 years and 1 kid). As of today I have dropped about 5 pounds. I look a ton fitter - legs are showing increased muscle…

That is awesome! Great work. It isn't easy to try to change your lifestyle and stick with it. Especially when all the easy choices typically out there aren't the ones you have to make. Great work sticking to it! Congrats!

Here's a list I found out there - there are probably more - I notice that fructose isn't listed on it's own.... Here is the source: http://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/whattoeat/a/sugars.htm •Agave Nectar •Corn sweetener •Corn syrup, or corn syrup solids •Dehydrated Cane Juice •Dextrin •Dextrose •Fructose •Fruit juice…

Thanks! This is all very helpful. I'm really trying to cut back on all my sugars and the last thing I want to do is forget one - so I should probably make a list of all the disguised names that sugars masquerade as!!

My family started substituting non-fat plain greek yogurt for sour cream (great for veggie dips) and add a dollup to vinaigrette salad dressings (shake it up well in a small separate container) to make it creamy and cling to the lettuce. It really amps up the salad and helps the dressing not just sink to the bottom. We…
