That Asian Glazed Chicken was great. Used breast instead of drumsticks and just sliced them kind of like they do at a Chinese restaurant. Took them out after they were done. And then did the glaze up and as it finally got thicken up put the chicken back in. Was fabulous. And with the Chicken breast only 148 calories per…

And yay it is under 5g of Fat. I have gallstones so until my gallbladder is removed I must watch my fat intake. :) SO thank you so much. Dinner tomorrow. yay with some brown rice.

OMG this looks amazing. I know what is for dinner tomorrow. But do you think i can do it with chicken breast instead. I don't like thigh meat.

6 days a week for me. I'm doing Insanity and on the 4th week so anywhere from 30-55 mins depending on the day. Once the second month starts It will be closer to 55 mins every day. Sunday is my day of rest, but I try to get a walk in with my bf and our dog, of about 3 miles or more. :)

Bump.... <3 Thank you so much for taking the time to put all these recipes together. I totally needed an idea for dinner tonight and now i have so many i have to pick just one. For tonight anyways.

I do agree Zumba is fun, and I throw it in for a mix now and then. But I prefer P90X and Insanity. Though you do need about an hour for P90X and at least 40-55 mins for Insanity depending on the day. And both are 6 days a week.

They both helped tone me up in different ways. P90X has you use weights or resistant bands which ever you prefer. Insanity however you use your body for resistance. I've been doing Insanity now for 25 days and a lot of people have already said they can see changes in my body. Even though I have only lost a few lbs since…

It kind of depends on what your Goal calories are from MFP. And what your net calories end up after you enter your workout. I personally try to just get to about 1200 net calories. Any less and you can be doing harm. I was to myself anyways. So that is my personal experience. Once I started eating at least up to 1200 Net…

I found P90X helped me get rid of weight pretty good. And Insanity which I am doing now is better for endurance. Now if only they did both together. So me and my boyfriend are alternating between P90X and Insanity for a few rounds. Then might make a hybrid of the two of our fav workouts. Hope this helped. Stephanie

I guess you could if you really wanted to. Probably not the best thing to eat. But as I have been told you want to eat at least 1200 calories a day Net. So yes you want to eat back some of your workout calories. If not all. Since you don't know if that is 100% correct in that you burned that many calories.

I can't really drink milk lactose intolerant so I try to stay away from milk and eat very little cheese. I do love my yogurt though. Sadly it makes me sick though. And I have to be careful with full fat versions. At least until I have my gallstones removed. Thank you for the advice though Eric. :happy:

What can I say Cheesecake is my favorite thing in the world. I didn't give it up though, I just make it from scratch now. And found a recipe where I make them into little bites, and they are only 45 calories per bite. Topped with a piece of fruit and they are amazing. I have everyone around me eating them now. I can never…

That makes sense I guess. Still morning here so still half asleep. :) But I am relying on my HRM for calories burned. I just don't know what else to put for intake as I am hardly ever hungry. But I try to eat something every 2 1/2 hours to keep my metabolism up as best I can.

All veggies are good for you. Some just have more carbs/strach then others. Try sweet potatoes maybe since you like potatoes. And you can always try dicing veggies up small and putting them in your meals. You may not even know they are there. V8 juice is good to. I use V-8 fusion with the fruit. I get the light so not as…

When I reached my half way mark, I got the first part of my back tattoo done. Its a Gaelic cross with a claddagh for the ring. When i reach my goal. another 50 lbs or so. I will get the rest of it finished. Celtic knot wings coming from behind the cross, and my families name. But that's me. :)

30DS is a 30 day shred workout by Jillian Michaels. I haven't tried it I'm doing insanity but i have heard great things about it.

Wow that's around 2200 calories for me. I don't think I can eat that many. I have enough trouble just eating 1400 calories a day. And that isn't even eating all my workout calories back.

I agree 100% I let myself have one of those kind of days once every other week or so. @Funky: That was me yesterday almost. It was mine and my bf's off day and we went to TGI Fridays. Yea I felt a little guilty for ordering what I did, but I didn't eat it all anyways, as the portions are just way to big. And I left the…

You definitely came to the right place, there are amazing people here to help you with this journey. After going through a huge life change... moving over 2500 miles to be with my bf. I am back to trying to drop pounds. Specially for the vacation he planned for us in August. OMG he wants me in a bikini... :) But if you…
