Introduce yourself!
Hi! I'm starting with level one today. I'm a little bit nervous about it but I'm excited! As of this morning I weigh 217lbs and I am really looking forward to slimming and toning. I plan on doing the schedule I posted -- but if I just love it, I might stick with it every day (except rest days). I'm TERRIBLE at push-ups and…

How do you feel about V8?
I have a juicer at home, and I'm wanting to drink more juice, maybe do a cleanse. However, I love V8 Fruit Fusion. Can't stand the tomato kind, but love the fruit. What do you think -- is v8 also healthy to drink for the majority of the day?

Is it me, or is junk food EVERYWHERE?
I have candy sitting on my desk (but I am VERY happy to say it has been on my desk for over a week and it is fun-sized candy bars and at most I've eaten two a day, most days only one). I have cookies sitting on the counter at home from "boo"ing neighbors. My hubby and I bought cupcakes to eat because a new Publix opened by…

Dinner/Workout or Workout/Dinner?
Hi, Is it healthier to eat an early dinner and then work out late evening, or is it healthier to work out late afternoon/early evening with dinner later in the evening? I figure eating earlier is better, but I've also heard working out before eating helps to burn calories. Thanks all!
