Eat What You Love Cookbook
So I just bought the Eat What You Love and Eat More of What You Love cookbooks by Marlene Koch. I was inspired to purchase them (off Amazon) after seeing them on QVC. Has anyone made any recipes from the cookbooks? If so, do you have a favorite recipe or anything you love/hate about the book(s)?

Anyone else starting over?
I completed the program in December and got pretty lazy after that. Now I am missing the hot physique I used to have while I was lifting! I started with stage 7 this time and it was a good build up. Now I 'm back at stage 1 and I'm changing it up a bit. I looked at stronglifts 5x5 so I am taking a little from that and…

Swiss Ball Crunch Stage 2B
Do you hold the crunch position for 60 sec or get as many reps in for 60 sec? Today I held the position and man was that a good ab workout! Also, y is workout B so much longer than workout A?!

HIIT?
What do you guys do for HIIT in stage 2? Do you run? I used to do something similar when I was only doing cardio: sprint for 2 min, walk for 2 min for a total of 20 min. Should I do something like that here?

Is Whey Protein Powder Bad For You?
My husband says it is. I started lifting heavy and got some whey protein powder to help build lean muscle mass and recovery and to up my protein consumption. However, my husband says that if I consume it, I'll end up looking like China (the wrestler) and putting that stuff in my body is not good for me. Although he can't…

Is Taking a Rest Week Important?
Hi All! I am finishing stage 1 this week and I was wondering if you guys found it beneficial to take a rest week? What did you do in your rest week, if anything? Do you think you saw more results by taking (or not taking) a rest week? I am feeling a bit hulk-like this week and I am thinking it is just water retention, or…

30DS after Insanity?
Has anyone else done the 30DS after doing Insanity? This is my last week of Insanity and I want to jump right into the shred. Because I realize it could be a bit easier of a workout, I am also considering using 5 and 8 lbs weights. Or maybe 8 and 10. Any thoughts?

Trying to find strength to exercise tonite!
Hey guys! Last nite I did what I thought was unthinkable, exercising well into the evening! I'm sure some of you do this on a daily basis, but I've always had the most strength to exercise in the morning. Because of my demanding job, I work virtually 12 hour days. Waking up at 4am to exercise then wash and do my hair…

Going Out of Town and Need Support!
So I am still in the first week into my diet and I have been doing good so far, even when my husband insists we go out to lunch. I am heading to Chicago today and I have 2 Groupons that I haven't used for 2 of my favorite restaurants: 1 is a chicken and waffles place, the other is a brazzilian steakhouse. I have managed to…

Eating Beans and Feeling Bloated
Hi All! I am new to this message board thing, but I thought I'd seek out your help. I LOVE red beans and rice, especially when I make it myself. But because I love it so much, I overeat it. I read that is is a good source of protein and fiber so I am trying to use it as one of the foods that I love to lose weight. This…

Can anyone relate?
I am a young African-American female under 30. I loved to exercise, but i LOOOOOVVVEEE to eat more! I am really struggling with overeating on good food. I don't want to give up good food, but I don't want to gain weight or let it stop me from losing weight. I have loved to exercise ever since high school, mostly to stay…
