Extremely overweight & P90X?
Anyone done this? Is it doable when you have lots to lose (100ish pounds?) or if not, at what point is it doable, really.... Or is it best used to tone up once you are nearer your goal weight? Thanks!!!

NSV-my first "success story"
I can't wait to be able to post before and after, but I have a long way to go! I am still pretty proud of this though.... I have only been exercising for about three weeks.

I've changed it both times to the amount the machine told me... but I'd sure LOVE It to be the higher…

Favorite Pop/Dance type music for Workouts?
I am not a major fan of popular music to know what is out there right now, but I do know that the things that keep me motivated while working out are the Ke$ha, Gaga, Black-Eyed Peas type stuff that I have stumbled across and have on a playlist, which is here: Viva la Vida Coldplay I Need a Doctor (feat. Eminem & Skylar…

eating while traveling?
I am leaving on Thursday for a very long road trip to my Usborne Books convention. I will be in the car with two other gals for 14 hours the way there and on the way back. I have to provide my own breakfasts for three days, with only the hotel restaurant and a nearby Panera to choose from. I will have to make the…
