Have you heard of Juice Plus+
Does anybody take these capsules? I just wanted to get your opinion on how they work for you. My general practitioner recommended that I take these to help boost my immune system. I get sick frequently. She thought this would help me along the way, along with also giving up dairy which has been giving me issues. Thanks!

Getting Lap Band Surgery
My sister just texted and said that she had a consult with a bariatric surgeon who told her she needed to get lap band surgery because all of her health problems are due to her being morbidly obese. She's been having major sinus infections and can't seem to get well. The doc also told her she wouldn't be able to get…

Point me to 30 days of clean eating resources
Hi everyone, Due to some health issues, I would like to experiment in eating clean for 30 days to see how I feel. I've had many tests for my issues, but everything always comes back fine (which is good, but also a little frustrating). I have been limiting dairy in my life for several months now (although not completely…

5 Dinners in 1 Hour - Meal Planning!!!
Something that has made my life immensely easier this past year has been a meal planning system called 5 Dinners in 1 Hour. I can't tell you how much stress it saves me on work nights having dinner ready to go each day. I also wanted to share it with you all because it REALLY helps us from eating out/eating junky dinner on…

T25 and Turbo Jam
Hi Everyone! I haven't excercised in forever, and I'd like to start. I'd bought my hubby T25 for xmas, and I did a couple days of it, and I just couldn't hack it. So, I decided to do Turbo Jam instead. I've done it in the past, and I like that I can actually do it. I'm thinking that if I get through it maybe I can build…

I need cheese alternative suggestions
I have given up dairy - well, mainly milk and cheese - and I'm feeling MUCH better. However, I have so many recipies that call for cheese/dairy products. What would you suggest to substitute for the following ingredients? I am so new to this, I have no idea where to begin. Shredded cheeses Sliced cheeses Sour cream Cream…

Tips for staying healthy during cold and flu season
I am the type of person who is sick a LOT. I usually catch something at least once every other month that hangs on for a couple weeks. And several times in between I also have a general sense of not feeling 100%. I have to say, it really affects my life in a negative way. I was listening to our local AM radio station a…

Dealing with a diet different from your family?
I am at a place where I feel that I need to make some diet changes due to some issues that I have. I am kind of leery of changing b/c lately I've been in a fantastic groove with the whole meal-planning/shopping/prepping balance that can be such a hassle for a working mom. I've purchased a subscription on the "5 dinners 1…

Removing dairy from diet
I was really crappy feeling last week. I'd been drinking my daughter's 2% milk, as I was out of skim. So, I decided to stop drinking milk altogether. Knock on wood, I am feeling better this week than I have in a looooong time. I've been sleeping better, waking up in morning actually not having to talk myself into getting…

Giving up soda & potentially dairy
Hi everyone! I am a person that has quite a bit of stomach issues. Last year at this time, I underwent some food sensitivity testing, eliminated the culprits for a the required time periods, slowly reintroduced them, and that seemed to help! Well, lately, I haven't been feeling up to par again. Not as bad as before, but…

Couch to 5 K
I haven't exercised in an eternity. We have a 5K at my work in Sept/Oct each year. I am thinking of doing a c25k program as a way to begin exercising again, with the goal of running in the 5k. How many of you out there have done this and could give me suggestions? I really need to tone up my butt and legs and was hoping…

C25K Freakout...how's it possible!!!
I'm on week three of C25K. I've just been coasting along listing to my podcast and doing whatever it tells me to. It's been slightly challenging for me, as I'm not in shape whatsoever. Well, I just decided to look ahead at the schedule in the upcoming weeks. I am freaking out at the prospect of running 20 minutes in week…

Making myself get up early to exercise
I've attempted exercising in the evenings before. With my full time work schedule and two small children at home, it doesn't work. I need to wake up by 4:45 or 5am before work to get it done. EVERY morning I set my alarm. EVERY morning I hit the snooze...for 45 minutes at least! What is wrong with me! How can I make myself…

Help - Pilates question
I did a beginners pilates mat workout for the first time last night. I figured I'd be sore today, but I'm not. I'm worried maybe I did it wrong - I thought my abs and legs would be sore. But, I've started running a few weeks ago as well (and I was terribly sore when I started that), so maybe that has limbered me up a bit…

Is it normal to feel like this after exercise?
I just started the C25K program. After the first day, I made it through the exercise, feeling fine. That was Thursday evening. Friday I was fairly sore, as I expected. Saturday, I was completely and totally exhausted. I woke up early that morning to run the second time, but I just couldn't do it. I went back to bed. And I…

Just struggling to believe I can do this...
I have always wanted to "be able to run." There are so many people I know that do 5k's and run and whatnot, I would love to be able to participate. A looooong time ago I used to be in track, but I ran sprints. I would usually run a mile at the most back in my track days (which was, like, 15 years ago!). I am just in week 1…

Running Shoes
I am thinking of getting into the c25k running program. I need to get some new shoes, though. Since I haven't started yet, i don't want to get anything super expensive in case I end up not following through. I'd like to get something somewhere like Kohl's. Suggestions? If I can get through the first month of the program,…

Does anyone feel nauseous in the AM?
I've been trying to get up at 5am every morning, but it always seems when I wake up so early I feel very nauseated. If I sleep longer, like until 5:45, I don't (usually). And no, no chance of being pregnant. On the weekends I very, very rarely wake up this way, because the earliest I get up is maybe 6:15. Just curious if…

Magic Bullet Blender?
Hi everyone, I want to start doing smoothies every morning, and I was wondering if anyone uses the Magic Bullet blender or the GNC Blender on the Go?
