YEH! Skinnytaste has a cookbook on the way, Woo-Hoo!
I've followed Skinnytaste for years, back when Gina was working full time and doing Skinnytaste as a hobby. I've tried several of her recipes and I've seen her website mentioned quite a few times on MFP, so thought you'd want to know she has a cookbook coming in Sept. AWESOME!:drinker:

StrongLifts Workout 2... Ooops!
So did my second workout this AM. Whoo-Hoo. I was supposed to go up to 60lbs on my squats. During my sets, I noticed I was struggling a little more than I expected but just kept moving. Wasn't until I was done with all 5 sets that I realized I just lifted 85lbs, OMG!! I forgot to count the bar itself when I added weight to…

Anyone lose weight with Jillian Michaels?
I've tried her Ripped in 30 in the past and was thinking about trying her Kick box Fast fix or Banish Fat Boost Metabolism. But I want to get one that will give me results as we get closer to the summer. Just curious what has worked for others. Thanks,:drinker:

Question for polar HRM users.
I posted this earlier, but it got lost in the shuffle, so thought I'd try it again. I have polar FT7, love it. But lately when I first start to workout it flashes "limit found" and then continues to work as usual. Have you seen this? What does it mean? I've had it since Christmas and have used it almost every day since. Do…

This is INSANE!!
Okay. Two years ago, the Hubby and I started MFP and started losing weight together. It was great! Six months later he hit his goal( of course) losing about 60 pounds. At that point he went into maintenance mode and I think I kind of went with him even though I had only lost 20 of the 55 pounds I wanted to lose. So here I…

WTH!! I'm 2 young for back issues
WTH!! Just when I was starting to get off this plateau. I hurt my freakin back!! I've had an ache in my back for the past three weeks. But Tuesday night, I bent over to put something in the oven and felt my back creak and crack to the point I couldn't stand up straight and had to hold on to all the counters just to move…

Going to the Marvel Movie Marathon?
My hubby asked me about going to the Marvel Movie Marathon today. They're showing both Iron Mans, Captain America, Thor, and the new Avenger movie at midnight. I'm not sure we and our two preteen kids can sit in a theatre for that long, but my next thought was how Leonard, Sheldon, Howard and Raj would probably be all over…

My Great NSV, Single Digits!!
This weekend I went shopping for my new job, going from jeans everyday to slacks. During my 28 pound weight loss, I went from a size 12 to a size 10. So I while shopping, I took a size 10 and size 12 into the dressing room, just in case they're cut small or whatever. Imagine my surprise when the size 10s were loose. I then…

Hubby's in maintenance and I'm not HELP!
UGGHH, hubby and I started losing weight with MFP together in Sept. 2011. 6 months later he's hit his goal of losing 60-70 pounds. MEN!!! Meanwhile, I had 55 pounds to lose and have been stuck at the half way mark for about a year now. I'm starting to feel like since hubby's been in maintenance mode, so have I, and…

Is your job trying to help you lose weight?
Earlier this week, we all noticed a Flat screen TV, and an Xbox with Kinect had been installed in our cafeteria area. There was also a Foosball table. I just spoke to our facilities guys who told me they're also bringing in a ping pong table. There are three buildings with about 200 employees in each and this setup is…

Sexy Spin Class, That's some motivation!
Trying this again since my link didn't work so well last post. We'd all be so slim if this were an actually spin class. And can you imagine if it were a lady up there! No more bear bellies guys!! Can you imagine the burn you'd get. Not to mention, maybe a little extra once you got home to the honey, LOL!!…

No progress in pictures.
OMG, how is it that I've lost over 20 pounds, my clothes are loose, everyone says they can tell I've lost a lot of weight and yet in the pictures taken in the past week, i still look like I have a long way to go. What's up with that? I only have about 30 to lose, yet in pictures, to me, I still look like I haven't lost…

NSV with a Twist
So hubby found some of his old that he can now fit into and mixed in was a pair of my size 10, no stretch, Calvin Kleins jeans that haven't worn in at least 5 years. I tried them on and they fit. YEH!!! Unfortunately, they're MOM JEANS, LOL! I'm so happy fit, but now I'm in a I'm trying to figure out why, in my mid 20s,…

HRM says "Limit Found" What does it mean?
I have polar FT7, love it. But lately when I first start to workout it flashes "limit found" and then continues to work as usual. Have you seen this? What does it mean? I've had it since Christmas and have used it almost every day since. Do I need to delete some training files or something? Just wondered if this was…

Eating P90x Calories
Hey guys, Just finishing up my second week of P90x. Like so far. But before this I was mainly on my elliptical, burning approx. 400 cals every morning. I noticed that when i ate right at 1500 cals, I lost weight. But since starting P90x, I'm thinking I may need to change that since I'm not burning those kinds of cals…

Has anyone tried any of the Kinect workout games or the New
I've been thinking about getting a new workout game. I really like my Wii EA active trainer and More Workouts, but I wondered how the new EA Active compared with the new arm and leg bands. I'm hearing it's good because you can use weights, but not great for Kinect and that Your Shape for Kinect is boring and needs a lot…

P90x Resistance Band in stead of Pullups
I wondered how people used bands instead of the pullup bars? Where do you hook them to get resistance? Hubs and I started P90x Lean this morning with core synergistics. Definitely challenging, but fun. Pretty sure the other workouts will be more brutal. Dreya and her roll can get outta here! j/k

Should you push to the max when working out?
Hey Guys, When working out on my elliptical, I use my HRM and try to make sure I'm staying in my target heart rate. However, my hubby says I should go all out and push as hard as I can. This is what he did and it worked for him, but I'm not sure that works for me. Which is better? Is it true that going above your target…
