Uncooked Pasta to Cooked Pasta
Okay I'm kind of reaching out here and hoping that someone will 'happen' to know the answer to this. For whole wheat pasta the label on the box says 85 grams is 1 serving. Does anyone happen to know how much it weighs when it is cooked? When I make dinner I make more than just 1 portion because my boyfriend needs to eat it…

Insanity vs. Jillian Michaels
Hey guys, I've been doing some videos by JM for a while now. I got through the 30DS and now I'm working my way through alternating between Banish Fat Boost Metabolism & No More Trouble Zones. I was just wondering how Insanity compares to those videos? I want to try it but I'm SO scared! LOL.

Jillian Michael Videos. Do you....?
Hey, I have a HRM to tell me exactly what I'm burning when I do any type of exercise. I start the HRM when I start any JM video during the warm up. And then I stop recording just before the cool down. Do you think I should count the cool down? It's just stretches. But I guess it wouldn't be any different than counting yoga…

Issues with jumping rope
Hello! Does anyone here jump rope as a regular part of their weekly exercise? I'm asking because I jumped rope for 70 minutes on Friday and it KILLED my calves. I could barely walk. Thankfully, a couple Epsom salt baths later there is no pain. I would really like to start jumping rope a few times a week but I'm scared that…

The people who are losing weight are not eating their exerci
Has anyone noticed that the people who are losing consistently losing weight every week are not eating their exercise calories? Their calorie goals are 1200 and then they also are working out, burning 500 calories and not eating them back. I don't think I can do that if that's what it takes to lose weight. I upped my…

Self Tanning
Hey everyone! So we all know that tan skin makes you look slimmer than pasty white skin. And while I do love having pale skin I really like having tan skin even more. BUT I'm not willing to tan outside or in tanning beds because I don't want cancer or to look old before my time. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing bad…

Pre-Work Out Snacks?
Hey everyone, Does anyone eat something before their work out to give them an energy boost? I need something that will give me a bit of energy to make myself work harder during my work out but also something that is not going to make me feel puke-y. So nothing that is a liquid or anything heavy. What are you guys eating? I…

My Fitness Pal is really pissing me off
Okay so when I first signed up here it tells me that to lose 1 lb per week I need to eat 1200 calories a day. I change that to .5 a week and it still tells me 1200 a day. Personally I think that is ridiculous and when I tried to do 1200 a day I was always so hungry. Then my Mom asks me to see how many calories she should…

Which cheat is worse?
Hey guys, So I know we all have our weaknesses. And we like to indulge a few times here and there (maybe more times than a few...)

Storing Avocado?

Work Lunches - What do you take?
Hello, I was just wondering what you guys are taking to work for a lunch. Right now I'm taking a sandwich made on Dempsters Ancient Grains bread, mustard, turkey or ham and light havarti cheese. This runs me about 450 calories which I'm thinking is a little high. Just wondering what you guys are taking as your lunch? Also,…
