My family and I have used rice milk for years. It's got the same consistency as fat-free milk with no flavor and no milky after tastes.

I think this time, it's how I am refocusing my goals.

I am active duty AF, married to SAHD, we have a 7 year old boy and a 2 year old girl. I typically get to the gym between 4:30 am and 4:45 am. Otherwise, I have no time at all in the afternoon/evenings to get it done. Nor would I be able to spend any time with my family if I worked out in the evenings.

To have strength and look good. Very simple, but that's it. Everytime I pick up a weight and it feels to easy I like the feeling of moving up in weight. Also, I do it for my Air Force fitness evaluation.

So Nutella is AMAZING!! It literally tastes like chocolate mixed with hazelnuts (which is basically what it is). My husband CLAIMS he doesn't like it, however I have caught him on several occasions eating it straight from the jar and mixing it with peanut butter. He says it tastes like a Reese's cup when he does that.

PATIENCE!! The weight is not going to come off over night. Have realistic goals.

Fear of being too sore the next day. My response to them would be, "Do you have kids? Then you can lift more than 5 lbs, because at one point your child weighed 20+ lbs and you were lifting them." That's just me. Now for me, right now I'm at the 20s for shoulders, but when doing the tricep pushdown I can do 75 lbs. So some…

whole wheat tortilla, crunchy peanut butter, sliced strawberries. mmmm mmmm mmm!!

The biggest key to any fitness routine is having a realistic plan and sticking with that plan. Record everything you do and log it.

And this is exactly why I make my own coffee at home in my Keurig to guarantee that I get my wonderful life giving coffee. I hate it when someone takes the last bit without starting another pot.

Asics or New Balance. But like previously mentioned, go have your gait checked so they can recommend the right type of shoe for you.

I hate waking up early in the mornings, HOWEVER, if I don't get up in the mornings and do my workout first thing, I won't do it later. I have no motivation later in the day to work out. After work I just want to go home and spend time with my kids and hubby. I like my evenings when I'm not worried about working out and…

Insanity is great! As far as being a beginner on Insanity, you can pause, rewind, etc as much as you need to to get where you want to be. Go at your own pace. You won't be perfect or even a pro at first, but it will come naturally after a while. Good luck!!

http://www.jeffgalloway.com/ He is a former Olympian. He has 5k, 10k, half, and full programs. Various ones in each category for beginners and advanced runners. I used his 10k plan for a 10k I ran in January and it was awesome. I highly recommend his programs to anyone.

Fitness is primary for me. Active duty Air Force here which means I need to be almost perfect at fitness in order to pass PT. But definitely add in fashion as I want to look good as well.

Great! Now I want a dang doughnut!

I am in love right now! Taco waffles?! Um, yes, please!!!!!!!!!

Also, incoporate some weight training. Such as squats, leg extensions, etc. Those will also help you lose in those areas.

^^ This!! Yesterday I knew that we were going to be out so I did a little research. First hubby said Chipotle and after researching I didn't have enough calories left for the day. Even with just a veggie bowl (which is what I usually get). So I checked around for the different restaurants I knew we would be close to and we…

So I will rightfully congratulate the TEAM THAT PLAYED THE GAME! Not the fans who sat on their butts at home watching on the television! Next, I will say that I will proudly root for the Swedish to win the gold! Only because a majority of my heritage is Sweden and it would be nice if some of my Canadian friends would hush…

From all of the comments I see, you can basically do anything you want with it. I've had it in oatmeal, I've used it as a replacement for rice, I've put it in salads, etc. I was a quinoa virgin one time too, until my neighbor raved about how awesome it is. Keep us posted on what you like the most with it.

My #1 faves: Nike Pro and/or Nike Compression My #2's: Under Armour

So for a woman like me who has had two c-sections, planks are ideal in helping to restore the strength in the muscles that were cut into. Also, they are helpful for people who have to do pushups regularly (I'm active duty AF and pushups are part of the PFT). They are good for strenghtening the core in being stable and…

You, sir.... I bow to you! I would've done the same thing. You taught her a very valuable lesson. I saw on the news one time a girl had bullied someone for not having name brand clothing. What did her mom do? She bought old raggedy clothing from Goodwill and made her daughter where it to school the next day. People were…

I was spanked, but very rarely. It was one of those when it was an absolute necessity type of things. Now, there was ONE time that I was slapped across the face so hard my nose bled and I was...... I believe I was about 6/7 years old at the time. I still haven't forgiven my father for that, but that's a whole other story.…

I can't even comprehend reading something like that (plus the web site is blocked at work). Frozen does not have some hidden agenda or any part about being homosexuality. It shows the bonds of sisters. AND more importantly shows that; a) you can't marry someone you just met; b) don't NEED a man to save you! I'm not one of…

Did you get the opportunity to try this out yet? Just curious. I know how frustrating it can be.

If you go to "Food," then "Settings," there is an area about halfway down the page to re-name the meals.

I can't stand the girls that go and flirt with every guy who has decent looking arms. THE GYM IS NOT FOR FLIRTING!!!!! I also can't stand how people give dirty looks to those who are a little bigger. Hey, they may be big now, but at least they are at the gym trying! Oh and can someone PLEASE explain to me why guys focus so…

I want you at our gym! People forget all the time!! Good on you for calling her out
