"Meat and potato" man-approved recipes?
My husband does not like vegetables. Ok, he likes broccoli-with tons of cheese, and cabbage-fried in bacon, and corn-you know how healthy THAT is! He keeps saying he will try to eat better but every time I make something healthy, he doesn't like it. I have recently lost some weight and he has been inspired (nagged) to do…

Bike trailer
I have gotten out the bike and trailer this spring so I can actually work out WITH my three year old, since he doesn't nap anymore. I am having trouble tracking calories burned doing this. My son weighs thirty pounds and we try to only ride on flat roads but I know it has to be burning more calories than riding alone. Does…

Goal jeans fit, now help me tone my tummy!
Almost ALL of my jeans fit me now that I have lost 29lbs, but I am still wearing LG/XL shirts because my tummy is still sticking out. What can I do to tone this trouble area? I have a weight bench downstairs but I don't know what to do with it. I jog some and walk a lot. I know crunches and sit ups are good, but what else…

I was talking to an old friend and I told her I had twenty more lbs til my goal weight, and she said "won't you just blow away? You will be smaller than you were…

How to incorporate weights in my workouts? Help
My kid brother moved into a tiny house and had no room for his weight bench. I offered to keep it here and keep the dust off of it. I have a few questions on how to get started. I have been trying to do cardio about 4 times a week minimum, and I really want to tone my arms and shoulders for summer. Am I supposed to…

Nsv 1st attempt w/ pic
This first photo is from Halloween '11 and I just took the second one last night. I wanted to see if this costume fit any better.. It does! (note the laces-they are completely tight now!) Additionally, I am completely out of my size 11 jeans, and mostly into my size 7s! *happy dance*

Does anyone have trouble making their calorie goal?
I have been eating healthy foods for about four months and I don't know how many times I was under my calorie goals! A lot. I am only aiming for 1200 calories per day and I try to eat pretty well balanced meals. I hate to see red numbers on the screen, so when I go over in sugars or in fats or sodium, I have a hard time…

Shin splints
about two weeks ago, I decided I was going to jog ten miles per week. The first week went really well, I did about two miles per day for five days. Last week, I did two miles on the track at the gym, no problem when I went a mile down my road, I was having the worst shin splints I had ever had. By the time I got back home…
