Kinda a stupid question
Probably just for the ladies out there . . . I have a treadmill at home and I walk/run on it daily. One of my small problems is that I keep getting snuggies and it's driving me NUTS! :laugh: Good thing I'm at home cuz I have to keep dislodging my underwear from my butt! :laugh: :blushing: Anyone else have this problem??…

Ugh! I want a cookie!
My daughter's birthday is tomorrow and she wanted to bring monster cookies for her snack to the class. I just made a few dozen of them loaded with butter, sugar, peanut butter, chocolate chips, and M&M's. I LOVE them and want one so bad with a big glass of milk. (Skim Delight of course! :wink: ) I am resisting. I am…

Anyone had turkey bacon???
I am fixing "breakfast" for dinner tonight and I decided to get myself some Jennie O extra lean turkey bacon at the store on the way home from work. Has anyone cooked this up and liked it? I'm a little freaked out! :wink: I like "real" bacon SO much, but at 4 grams of fat PER slice, I just can't bring myself to eat it. I…

Balancing calories/fat throughout the day??
I am not usually hungry in the mornings - I force myself to eat breakfast because I know it's important, but it's usually fruit or fat free yogurt. I don't really start to get hungry until mid-afternoon and towards the evening. My question is: If I am eating every 3-4 hours all day, but save most of my calories and fat…

Almonds vs. Cashews
Whenever I look at "diets" I always see that you're supposed to snack on raw, unsalted almonds cuz of the protein and the good kind of fat in them. (is there such a thing? :happy:) Anywho - I was wondering - are cashews as good as almonds as far as a good snack? I DO like almonds and eat them quite a bit, but I actually…

I am being forced to dine out!!
I am on a business trip out of town for 3 days and I have to eat both lunch and dinner at restaurants every day. (no, there's no chance to pack meals or carry a cooler). My question is - how do you know what's within your calories/fat intake in meals at a restaurant? I know it's impossible to know, but what do I eat??…

Healthy Shrimp Scampi - Is It Possible??
Hi there, We LOVE shrimp scampi and fettuccini noodles around our house, but of course, shrimp scampi is traditionally made with TONS of butter. (probably why it tastes so good!!) Does anyone out there have a healthier/low fat alternative that doesn't taste like crap? My family is trying to be patient with my "healthy…

I Love Salt!
I am trying really, really hard to cut back on my salt intake. I know all the rules - it causes weight gain and all that jazz. But I just love it SO much! I have tried the alternatives - use a bunch of seasonings - make them your best friend - use Mrs. Dash. But none of them taste as good!! Does anyone have any…

Anyone done Jillian's frontside/backside DVD's??
Hello! I was wondering if anyone out there has done Jillian Micahael's Frontside/Backside workout videos?? I just ordered them and wanted to know what all of you thought. I know her "30-day Shred" is popular right now, but I don't feel like I am advanced enough to try that yet. So, I decided to go with one of her…
