PB2 is not calorie free - it has minimal calories compared to regular peanut butter. I tried the Walden Farms PB and threw it out as well - the PB2 is a totally different story. I LOVE IT! It comes in a powder, you add water to the consistency you like and enjoy. Everyone in my family loves it and those I have shared with…

I tried it two weeks ago for the first time and LOVED IT! I enjoy discipline and fast pace so it was what I look for. My sister is the opposite and she hated it - she enjoys the relaxing, meditative yoga (that puts me to sleep). I also love the heat and sweating....the 90 minutes flew by. I was visiting family out of town…

Anyone ever do a detox? Not the starve yourself, drink water, lemon, and hot sauce kind... more herbal detox kind. Worth it? What brand/type? How long? I've seen some that cost more than $100 per treatment. Others about $25. Some last two weeks, others 30 days. Your thoughts.

I use a Polar to monitor heart rate and always stay in range when doing exercise like elliptical, stairmaster, or dvd routines. However, when I run I tend to go over the last mile or two. I'm over only by 10-15 beats....I don't feel over worked so I keep going. I just wonder if when I reach that level, I should stop and…

You can use lowfat cream cheese ( I personally would use 2 low fat, one non fat) Split the amount of sugar in half - use 1/2 regular sugar....1/2 splenda or an alternative like that They also sell lower fat ginger snaps (although cals are same along with carbs) * I enjoy cheesecake (and can't wait to try this) - I handle…

Which beachbody dvd would you recommend? I'm just looking for a solid cardio workout. I do weight training 2x week with a trainer so I don't need to lift as I do cardio (or should I say, I don't want to). I'm in pretty good shape now, I just want something to toss into the mix of stairmaster, running, and elliptical.…

Lots of discussion about this lately which has made me question my workouts. My stats: 120lbs, weight train (with trainer 2x week - 1 hour), cardio (stairmaster, running, jumping rope - 6x week, 45-60min). I'm in pretty good shape. Like all women, I desire that flat tummy....I dont' have it. I carry all my fat in my belly…

BLAH! I pretty much knew the answer, hoping I was wrong...but expected your answers. I'm going to go pout now.

I just started using my Polar HRM again (it's a P4 or 6?) Anyway, I have used it the last few workouts and the calories burned seems very low compared to what MFP and my stairmaster says. I do 45 minutes of stairmaster at highest level - average of the two has me burning about 500 calories (I'm 117lbs). My HRM has me…

i am a pb junkie! i love smuckers natural chucky....a jar of that and a spoon is a little bit of heaven. needless to say, i run very fast in the opposite direction when i see it. :tongue: i have found a good subsitute and many of my friends agree - pb2. it is dehydrated peanutbutter and the only ingredients are peanuts,…

Should I continue to do aerobic exercise when sore from weights? I work out lower body Wednesday with a trainer and some days I'm SORE from walking lunges. I do aerobic exercise (run, elliptical, stairmaster) 6 days a week...and I LOVE it (not so much the weight training), My question is should I not exercise as hard if…

anyone have a great cardio dvd they recommend? i do weights with a trainer 2x a week so i don't need that in a dvd. i want something different in my schedule - i typically rotate between stairmaster, elliptical, running, and jumprope as cardio. i'd like an indoor video option as well...suggestions? i want something…

This is a great idea....and I LOVE the Boca Chili but can't find it anymore in area markets. Boca still has it on their web site - anyone still able to purchase it? What state?

I have a diet rootbeer weakness....it is the only soda I drink and I allow myself only one a day. Problem is, I "use" it as a dessert. I hear so many stories on diet soda and weight gain. Just wondering if anyone thinks this is a problem. I don't eat dessert - just drink the rootbeer (am in bed about an hour later).

Wondering if anyone knows if the BodyBuggs can be "leased" for 3 months or so. I'm not willing to shell out $300 for something I know I wont use more than 3 months. If anyone has one - what are your thoughts? I'm sure it is helpful....but worth the investment for short term? Thank you.

What are the current thoughts on no starchy carbs at the last meal of the day? In other words just protein and fibrous carbs (most veggies). Good, bad, no difference?

This is my #1 problem as well. I have tried almost all things suggested by other members...I drink water endlessly, eat all the right foods (veggies, fruits, fiber), and drink coffee (i'm addicted!). I finally went to the doctor and had a gi run just to make sure there was not some type of blockage and was prescribed…

Not to rain on anyone's idea but coming from a family of dentists, be careful with the small food items like grits. If you have sutuers, things like grits could work in between and cause problems. If you eat smaller items like that make sure you rinse your mouth well afterwards. I like the idea of smoothies and protein…
