Feeding a family with limited time
I am a business owner, wife, mother, grandmother, and everything that comes along with those titles. I am looking for dinner ideas to feed 2 adults and 3 older teenagers (baby still has formula for the moment ;) ) that I can either prepare in advance or prepare fairly easily after a long day of working.

Suggestions for a Beginner Female Lifter
I have never lifted anything but a kettlebell or some hand weights in Jillian's DVDs. I have all the equipment at home, and have no idea how to get started. Would appreciate any advice from those who have been here and are successful. Something easy to understand - I don't know all the "lifting terminology". After gaining…

Doubling Up Workouts
I am growing impatient trying to "tone up" the body. I know one of the benefits of Jillian Michael's workouts is that they are short. Which is good since I couldn't keep up with Insanity and didn't quite find enough time for P90X. I love Jillian Michael's workout DVDS - currently doing 30 DS (every other day) and looking…

New Heart Rate Monitor - Walmart $27 - Accurate?
I had seen several posts on here that said the $27 HRM from Walmart was accurate and people were happy with it. So I finally picked one up today. Then, I went to a 2 hour Zumba-a-Thon fundraiser where we danced and danced and danced. The HRM said I burned 1,200 calories in the 100 minutes of dancing. Do you think it is…

Exercise - Does The Schedule Matter?
I have finally gotten into the groove with exercise for the last 2 weeks but my question is does it matter WHEN I exercise? Last week I had Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and the nothing until Tuesday, Wednesday, and today this week. My schedule varies and I'd like to be able to go with it instead of…
