AM workout help
I have tried several times in my life to get up early to exercise. It usually lasts a week or sometimes 2 before I quit the schedule. I always feel better after an AM workout and when I don't get up, it's not even that I'm too tired. I'm just not motivated in the morning. The thing is, it's the only routine, quality time I…

clean eating recipes?
Anybody out there follow the clean eating way of life and have some good recipes? I made the turkey roll up dinner that's on the clean eating website for my family last night and they actually liked it!! It has spinach and everything!! I'm encouraged, so any clean eating dinner recipes would be appreciated.

Eating when hungry
I've had this issue all my life. I rarely allow myself to get hungry before snacking or eating a meal. I'm just starting to become conscious of this so I'm going to make the commitment to pay REALLY close attention for the next two weeks - hopefully to break this bad habit. Anyone else have a problem with this and want to…

afternoon crash
Does anyone else get an energy crash in the afternoon? What do you do about it? I'm really careful to eat nutritious, whole foods every 3 hours or so. From about 3:00 until dinnertime, I'm exhausted. After dinner, I'm ok which tells me it's about food or blood sugar or something. Any suggestions?

Vitamuffin help
I've been looking at the Vitamuffins that Hungry Girl and others just love. They look great, but some of them (especially the chocolate ones) have sugar alcohols in them. Has anyone had stomach problems with these? Does anyone give them to their kids? I'd like to just get the ones w/o the Erythritol etc., but I know my son…

Not much but....
OK - after years of measuring my "after baby" gut and getting the same measurement......I took it Thursday morning and OMG it had gone down by .5 inches. I took it Fri. and Sat. too just to make sure and it was the same. I know .5 inches does not seem like a big deal, but it's wonderful for this Mom!! Especially since the…

body fat calculator
Does anyone use measurements to calculate body fat? I use this one: http://www.bmi-calculator.net/body-fat-calculator/ and keep track of the number in my "check-in" numbers. Kind of just for the heck of it because I don't know how accurate it is.

Giving hope
I just wanted to give encouragement to all those out there who don't see results right away. I went for weeks without even one pound lost and now suddenly, I'm down 4 pounds in 2 weeks. I think my body just needed a few weeks to adjust to everything. Don't give up!!!

baby tummy hope?
Ok - I've cut out refined/process foods, I'm doing my cardio everyday, and strengthening my core. Can anyone out there give me hope that my post-baby tummy will (at the very least) get smaller? Any success stories? By the way, my youngest is 5 and it's taken this long for me to get motivated to try SOMETHING.
