Weight vs. Inches
I was just wondering what the motivations people have for fitness. It seems like most are solely motivated by the number on the scale, but I feel at this point in my life that it is based on how I look and feel. What are your motivations and reasons for the way you focus on your weight loss and goals.

Favorite Weight Loss Related Websites?
Other than MyFitnessPal, what are everyone's favorite weight loss websites? I love bodyrock, but that's too advanced for me right now with how out of shape I am. I'm looking for food/nutrition, work-out and motivation related websites. Thanks! :)

Exercise with a sprained ankle?
I sprained my ankle almost three months ago (2 torn ligaments) and it still hasn't fully healed. I've gained weight and become sedentary when I'm not at work. Any suggestions for exercise on a sensitive foot that are still effective?

Chalean/Insanity Hybrid?
Has anyone ever done a Chalean Extreme and Insanity hybrid? Any suggestions for a schedule? Or, do you think that much cardio & strength training mixed may not work well together?

green smoothies!
I've not really been feeling so hot for the past few days and thought maybe I needed a boost. I just made a green smoothie with about 4 strawberries, 1/2 a kiwi, a handful of spinach, some avocado, pineapple tidbits, water & flax meal. It was my first green smoothie and was pretty tasty. (I wished the flax would have mixed…

Are there cheaper versions of these? I am interested in buying heavier weights (I have some up to 8 lbs) but don't want to spend a ton of money.

Short cardio DVDs?
I know there are other threads like this out there, but I'm looking for fun and short cardio DVDs that I can do after a circuit of Chalean Extreme. I already have 30 Day Shred and all the Jillian Michaels workouts, but I'm looking for something without weights... because I will be doing them right after doing a strength…

Exhausted/No Energy.
I seem to only have energy for the first five or six hours I'm awake and moving around each day. I work mornings (for example, this week I'm working 4:30AM until sometime mid-day each day) and am fine as soon as I wake up. I work in a coffee shop, so I have access to unlimited caffeine, but it just doesn't do the trick, so…

Chalean Extreme Success Stories?
I just started CXE today and am excited to hear success stories and see some before/afters. Anyone want to share? I searched for some results, but very few pictures popped up. I need inspiration. Did you combine this with any other program or just CXE on it's own?

100 Calories
I just found this website, Food Size, and it's awesome & eye-opening. I can usually eyeball a serving out these days after using my scale every day, but it's still refreshing to see the 100-calorie servings of different things. Check it out! http://www.foodsize.com

Protein Powder/Shakes?
I just started 30 Day Shred yesterday & I was curious about what everyone's favorite pre-packaged protein shakes or recipes are. I am currently using Jillian Michael's Double Chocolate shake for 180 calories & 16 grams of protein. I am sure there are better alternatives (higher protein, lower calorie). I'm thinking about…

HRM Question
I have a Polar HRM and I was wondering if the calories burned include my BMR. Do I need to subtract those calories to see an accurate burn, or does my HRM have that covered? I could not find a topic on this, but I remember reading about it a while back. Any help would be great!

Serious Question Concerning Monkey Bars.
Today, I was at an exercise park and went on the monkey bars twice. I slipped and my skin actually tore on my palm. Has this happened to anyone else? Is there something that, somehow, I'm missing about how to climb on monkey bars?

Insanity
How would you categorize Insanity under the exercise section?

Former Vegetarian
I recently started eating chicken and fish again after being a vegetarian for 6 years. I did this because I simply never felt full and where I live there are basically no cheap vegetarian friendly options around (small southern town). I've packed on about 5 pounds since then and am trying to balance meat in a healthy way…
