How do you drink your protein?
I have been making protein shakes almost daily but I am getting tired of having the same shake over and over again. I buy the vanilla powder and usually just add banana or peanut butter to it with 3/4 cup of milk but it just gets boring having the same one all the time so I'm looking for ideas on other ways to get my…

NSV
Just proved to myself that the scale isn't all that one should rely on. I started a challenge at the fitness studio that I work out at on October 1st. We just had our first weigh in/measurements done last night since we started and although I was only down 1.2 pounds, I was down 7.25 inches!

Heart Rate Monitor help
I have been having trouble trying to figure out how to figure out the low and high end of target heart rate to program my monitor. This is what I found online and I want to know if this sounds right. I will put in my own numbers instead of using theirs: 1. Compute HRmax by subtracting age from 220 (for males) or 226 (for…

I'm full!!!!
Today is the first day I can actually say I am full and satisfied after 1 lean pocket. Before I could have eaten 2 and still been hungry afterwards. It may sound silly but it's an accomplishment to me :)

Made it up the Snake
We have a street in our town called Snake Alley (pictured below, view from the top). After zumba class on the nights that it's nice out, a group of us always jog there (about a quarter mile) and run up it and then jog back to the studio. Last night was the first time I have done it since last fall and I was so excited that…

P90X
Ok. I started P90X last week. I really like it but there are some parts of it that I just CANNOT (not as in I give up, as in I can't physically do it) do an entire set of, most of which are the push ups in chest and back and some of the lunges in plyo. Is this normal and will it improve with time? I've also noticed that…

70 Down!
I got on the scale this morning and I have officially hit the 70 weight loss mark. I couldn't be more excited. 24 more to goal. I am also officially out of the 160's which seemed like it was never going to happen. I was stuck there for quite a while. Then, I decided to step up the work out routine a bit and it finally…

Need help giving up soda!
I know it shouldn't be hard, but I just can't fathom giving up soda! I have at least 1 can (of diet) a day, sometimes 2 or 3. I get really sick of plain water. Any suggestions on how to cut back and eventually get down to none???

BodyBugg
Well, I got my BodyBugg yesterday. I LOVE it!!! I was shocked at the difference in what I thought I was burning and what I actually burned was. I did great with it on my first day as far as meeting my defecit goal and hope to do the same until I get this last 30 pounds off.

Tummy Tuck?
After having 2 kids, I have this awful pouch in my belly that I can't seem to get rid of no matter how hard I work at it. I have been told that probably the only way to get rid of it completely is by having a tummy tuck. Has anyone here had one done??? If so, what is the approximate cost??? I am seriously considering…

My kids destroyed my stomach!
Ok everyone, I need some help on how to get rid of my belly flab! Before I got pregnant (in 2006), my tummy was fine. It now looks like a road map with the stretch marks and flab and I can't seem to get rid of it. I know I'm probably stuck with the stretch marks and I have learned to cope with that since I have no…

Challenge
I was recently in a 90 day challenge at the studio that I do Zumba at. We just found out who all of the winners were. I ended up in 9th place! I am very happy with that. The next challenge starts on February 1st and my goal for this one is to be in the top 5. Wish me luck.

17 Day Diet
Has anyone tried the 17 Day Diet plan? My parents started it right before Christmas and they seem to really like it. I am thinking about trying it but want to get some more opinions before I decide for sure.
