It's okay to go over protein, but how much do I need?
Any information on to figure out how much protein my body needs? I'm over on my protein pretty much everyday, so I'd really like to know where I should be falling. I've searched the boards a bit, but have just found that it's okay to go over. Thanks!

Supersized vegetable portions?
Alrighty so this might be a silly question... but if I don't ask it's going to drive me crazy. We all hear about supersized portions are bad, blahblah. I used to eat a huge serving of a meal, then go back for seconds. Now I usually eat chicken or fish, veggies and rice for dinner. I have 1 cup cooked rice then usually 1-3…

Stretching and Strength Training Question
So I'm doing the Power 90 right now. on Sculpt 3-4 he takes 2or 3 stretch breaks between sets. My question is, is it really necessary? Would it be an issue to skip the stretch and go straight to the next set, or will it be in my better interest to go ahead and do it? Thanks yall!

Almonds and Fish
Okay I'm just a bit confused. I know there are good fats in almonds and fish like salmon. Can you eat too much? For example, lately I've been having 15-20 almonds for a snack everday and I eat salmon a few times during the week. Could it be too much fats??

This food will be my downfall.
I love pasta. All types of pastas. I wish I lived in Italy so I could eat Italian food 24/7. (I also wish I had the metabolism to eat it all the time. ) Weeellll. I can't control myself with it. The 2oz serving doesn't fill me up, so I rarely eat it since I started dieting. So I decided tonight to just give it up for a…

Anybody jog/run with a jogging stroller?
Hey guys! So I finally started to jog with my little one. I really want to get a jogging stroller but there are just so many! I plan to run with him always pretty much so I need a durable, longlasting one. However, I really can't spend more than $200. I know that a fixed wheel is best for runners? So what do y'all use and…

Exhausted, any advice?
So lately I've been getting up between 5-5:30AM to workout. I have an infant and getting through a workout doesn't always work sometimes, which is why I started getting up early. Plus with school starting soon and early classes, I know this will be really helpful to my weightloss. The only problem is I have been so tired.…

Where should I buy P90X?
Allllrighty. So I have one month left of Power 90! Yay! Where did everyone buy their P90X? I figured I would just get it at beachbody, should be a guarentee after all. I'm not big on ebay or craigslist. But has anyone found it cheaper?

Insanity or P90X?

Baking vegtables
So I usually bake chicken or salmon with vegtables each night. I'm a single mom so it's not very time consuming.. however, my vegetables are so BLAH. I usually drizzle a tblsp of olive oil on them, but that's so high in calories. Anyone have any suggestions on what to season them with?

Can anyone recommend some DVDs?
Hey y'all. I'm trying to find something for my mom. She's 48 and wants to do some exercise just to be more in shape and to tone up. She doesn't want anything with weights. (I'm trying to convince her 3lbs will be alright, lol) She really wants some kind of dance workout. (Think yoga booty ballet) I was thinking about…

Drinking tea (not just green)
Does anyone drink tea to curb cravings? Ever since I started dieting I find myself constantly thinking about food, lol. I'll eat when I'm not even hungry. I started drinking decaffinated tea a few days ago and it's helped a lot. I drink a cup of green tea in the morning. Then just different decaffinated kinds during the…

Green tea before working out...
So I got some Celestial green tea today. I've never drank it before. But I drank it right before an intense workout. Afterward I felt really strange.. not sick or anything. It's hard to describe. It was like bad anxiety? I never drink caffeine. I haven't had caffeine in a couple of months. Maybe I had a caffeine overload?…
