Sounds yummy! I love tomato soup but there is always so much sodium in it....how much is in yours? I would like to try this with a low sodium vegetable stock and replace the half & half with something dairy free....but what?

Our bodies NEED fat! But the good fats...not the bad. Sorry you had to learn the hard way, but sometimes that's the only way some of us "all or nothing" peeps learn. LOL! It's not funny, I can just relate cuz I'm one of those types of people. Good thing I still have all my body parts though. :wink:

I absolutely LOVE their Veggie DeLite!! I also enjoy a Budweiser Select 55 with my DeLite pizza. :bigsmile:

Yikes.....you scared me!! LOL! Welcome back!! You can totally stick with this. We all have our days when we don't feel like exercising or logging our food, etc. As long as you keep trying, it doesn't matter how many times you've stopped and started again...it's important that you START! :happy: #1. Accountability - post…

Some posts on here are totally unnecessary and are not helpful at all....that's all I'm going to say. :o)

Cardio + Strength Training! Eat as clean as possible, cutting out as much processed foods as you can, drink more water. Spot reducing to burn fat is a myth - it's not possible. It takes time and dedication! Since muscle burns fat, try adding in 2-3 days of strength training into your routine. Always eat at the minimum,…

If you don't use the P90X Results & Recovery Formula from Beachbody then definitely use some sort of recovery drink afterwards. It's important that it be in the proper ratios of 4:1 (carbs to protein). A lot of people recommend chocolate milk as a recovery drink but it's more sugar (refined = processed) and a lot of other…

Congrats to both of you!!! AWESOME job!

Without seeing your food diary, it's hard to say...but your body may also be going into starvation mode. Are you consuming at least 1200 calories a day? If you are working out that much, you need to increase your calories. You should eat 5-6 small meals every 2-3 hours - not just when you're hungry.

P90X is a very structured, intense routine. You do mix things up a bit with each phase, but it's still very structured. That isn't for some people. Personally, I prefer to mix up my workouts. If I don't stay interested, I don't want to do it. Exercise shouldn't feel like a chore - though there are days when even the most…

Binge eating is difficult to overcome, but it is possible. I'm not a doctor or counselor or anything but I think if you start to look at food differently, it would slowly change to where you have control over the food instead of it having control over you. It's important to think of food as fuel for your body and to think…

Honestly, I think you get plenty of cardio in your exercise routine. What you should do is add in some strength training! Include 2-3 days of it a week - muscle burns fat. Period.

Whey protein in itself will not make you gain weight. If you eat more calories than you burn - you gain weight. I use whey protein powder every day. I'm a vegetarian, so it's where I get much of my protein from. I use Beachbody's whey protein, it's cheaper than most places plus it tastes great mixed with only water. If you…

I'm still shocked that you don't like the taste of the P90X Recovery drink!!! Omg, I love it! I only use 1 scoop after a workout instead of two though and blend it. Do you use a blender? "A" recovery drink of some sort IS important..it doesn't necessarily have to be the P90X Recovery drink. Just create your own with the…

I agree with this post but not sure it would have anything to do with her issue.

It looks like all your nutrients are ok, including fiber. But if you're taking in more than you body is normally used to, it could have this effect. How much water are you drinking each day? Just today, there seemed to be a lot of foods you ate that have a higher water content as well. Try eating a banana a day for a…

I like the MDG 64 or even the Bud Select 55 isn't too bad. Those would be my choices - you can't find any lower calorie beer. As for snacks, you can make up your own individual size snack baggies of dried fruit & nuts. Measure everything out for 100 calorie snacks in each baggie. Also, buy the popcorn kernels and pop it…

It sounds like you ordered the 10-Minute Trainer program? If so, be ready to get your booty kicked!! I find it funny that people ask if home workout programs work. MOST of them do work....but only if they are used!!! BUT, even if a person uses them and they do not change their eating habits, they will most likely not see…

I've not personally used any Isagenix products but I would say if you had NO results with the shakes, maybe you didn't have any weight to lose? Usually a cleanse is about preparing our bodies for weight loss - not so much weight loss in itself. It's what we do prior to beginning a regular exercise routine to get our bodies…

Great work!! My first round of P90X was the Lean version and I really loved the results I got from it. My hubby and I are doing another round now, we're on Week 4. Keep up the excellent work and don't give up! You're doing fantastic! Tracking food here is wonderful!!! I usually workout around 5:30am CT. Do you have a…

Looks really good, but me no likey arugula. :noway:

Depending on how much weight you are lifting - strength training sometimes doesn't burn a whole lot of calories. Do you recall what size weights you used? The best way to get a more accurate count of calories burned when strength training is to wear a heart rate monitor that tracks calories burned as well as your heart…

I'm waiting NOT too patiently as well! The preview workout was AWESOME!!!

I am becoming the same way! I prefer the encouragement and support here, everyone is so amazing and willing to help others. So, AMEN!! :smile:

Oh my gosh...it is SO much better than regular yogurt! It is creamier, tastes better and the ingredients are more natural (less processed) Depending on what you get, my fave has been the Brown Cow brand. You'll have to check your local grocery stores or health food stores to see if they carry it. You'll be amazed at the…

This happens to all of us ... more often probably than we'd like to admit, but we all are human. It is important to enjoy those foods in moderation. We deserve a treat every now and then. And totally depriving ourselves of those "bad" foods will only make us want them more. Don't think or say to yourself that you can NEVER…

I agree, you will eventually be able to do Kenpo X with no problems. I love, love, love Kenpo/Cardio X+!!! It's one of my all time favs!

If you swap anything in order to do the Plyometrics...swap out the Cardio X. You burn more calories in Kenpo X than Cardio X anyway. Plus, if you get the weighted gloves, you'll burn even more calories!

That's awesome!!! Way to go, girl! Keep up the great work!

Hi Julia, Beachbody has a great one called "Tony & The Folks!" It's a great workout and can even be done from a chair if needed. Visit my site at www.itpays2bfit.net, click the "shop" button and search under the name of it. If you have any questions, let me know! It's great that you want to get in shape. You can totally do…
