crystal light instead of juice make a few things in bulk when you have time: brown rice, baked chicken, hard boiled eggs for breakfast I almost always have this: -1/4 c quick oats -1/4 c already cooked brown rice -1/4 c almond milk -1/4 c water (microwave it for 1.5-2 minutes and then add honey, cinnamon, vanilla extract,…

1/4 cup of quick oats 1/4 cup of cooked plain brown rice 1/4 cup of almond milk 1/8-1/4 cup of water microwaved for 1.5-2 minutes (in a big bowl so there’s no spill over) then I added: 1 tbsp honey (or you could use Splenda, Truvia, Stevia, etc) 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp vanilla and sometimes a few berries yummm :)

haha same, I’m in!

although Level 1 was still somewhat challenging at the end of Day 10 I was so bored with the moves, I was considering giving up all together. then came today, Day 1 of Level 2 - let m tell you, it was AWESOME. I lied on the floor for about a minute at the end, huffing and puffing...but I felt GOOOOD

oops forgot to include that little detail haha yes it's precooked! I usually make a lot of rice at once and store it in the fridge for convenience

I've never tried it, but look at some youtube videos of the workouts before you buy it. It's expensive and her workouts are not something that I don't think I personally would be able to stick with. This blog has a ton of links to Tracy Anderson videos: http://celeryandcupcakes.com/all-things-tracy/

I'm majoring in International Studies with concentrations in Latin America and Human Rights & Social Movements. I'm also minoring in Spanish and Portuguese. Don't ask me what I'm gonna do with it though, I have no answer to that question haha

I was a carb addict until recently. I try to eat all my from vegetables, Eziekiel bread, oatmeal, or whole grain cereal. I upped the amount of protein I get at each meal (except early morning - that's when I eat most of my bread product carbs) and I've beat most of my carb cravings (except baked desserts) and usually…

gotta love Jamie Eason! she has the best high protien, low carb, low calorie recipes!

there are 3 levels...each level is a little bit longer than 20 minutes, but that includes warm up and cool down. each level also consists of 3 cycles of 3 min strength, 2 min cardio, 1 min abs. I got mine in iTunes and just finished Day 7 of Level 1 and am getting a lot stronger already!

I'm not a skinny girl so I can't say for sure, but my skinny friends who don't have naturally phenomenal metabolisms work for their bodies. They lift weights 5 times a week, do cardio 6 times a week, only drink vodka tonics when they go out and stay far away from processed foods. You don't have to give up your social life,…

This is really heart breaking to read. Dieting can be extremely stressful, especially when you have an injury and find it difficult to be active. I don't mean this to be offensive at all, but due to your impaired mobility with your leg...have you tried chair exercises for seniors? Maybe if you order some hand and leg…

I wish I saw this earlier! I'm gonna make it a personal challenge now!

if you want it for the flavor it goes really well on sandwiches, turkey burgers, any mexican food, etc. but I highly recommend using it in desserts, especially chocolate ones :) it adds so much richness to healthy recipes that makes it seem like you're "cheating"

I do 40% carbs, 40% protein, 20% fat and lost 3 pounds in the first 3 weeks. I still make sure I don't go over my calories, but keeping this ratio has proven to be the best method for me

oh and I added a banana and a few pieces of ice!

2 cups of raw baby spinach 1/2 cup of almond milk 1/4 cup non fat vanilla Chobani greek yogurt 3 oz baby carrots 1 scoop of Optimum Nutrition Whey - vanilla ice cream flavored I haven't been getting as much protein as I want to so I just got the whey powder today. It's actually really good! I'm gonna make some homemade…

Take a look at Jamie Eason and Wendy Lucas

I'm gonna try a fruitier one tomorrow..maybe with a little peanut butter? They're great post-workout

maybe try getting more calories during the first half of the day, if you're exercising your body needs some fuel to burn!

I am shocked that I've lost 4lbs thus far! Just a couple weeks ago I was thinking I wouldn't make the cut, but now I'm determined to lose this last pound! WE CAN DO THIS!

Definitely look at it as a challenge/game rather than a diet. The word "diet" itself has a distinctly negative connotation in my mind. This way when you have some of your friend's french fries or a little more chocolate than you should've you don't feel guilty, you'll feel more like you made a bad move in a board game...at…

I just completed Day 5 of Level 1 and I'm already feeling stronger, but I have to admit...hearing Jillian say the same things over and over has already gotten kind of annoying. Other than that I definitely recommend it thus far

I do 5 meals a day..my calorie allowance is 1350 so I try to keep each "meal" around 300 calories

I swear I already notice a difference and I just finished Day 3!

OBSESSED. Here ya go twooliver! just go to TV Shows; it has all 3 seasons: http://ch131.com/

Some of you sound so sad :( I like being single....I've learned so much about who I am & improved myself in so many ways. Look at it as an opportunity to grow!

by the way it's for pregnant women and young children...you're obviously neither, but I figured the recommendations would be most strict for kids and women who are preggers
