Why does Jillian Michaels hate knees so much???
Years of tennis and bad genes have given me really bad tendonitis. My knees point the wrong way lol, swell, and pop constantly. I'm a huge fan of JM's 30DS, but it puts such strain on my knees that doing it 2x a week is pushing it. Last night I decided I'd try her 6 wk 6 pack vid on Exercise TV thinking that it'd be her…

Yoplait Frozen Smoothies
I LOVE THESE! So convenient, so yummy! But so expensive! I've been making smoothies for years, but now I'm a grown up with an 8-5, so the easier the better! Does anyone have any ideas on how to replicate these little bags of heaven? My plan is to buy various frozen fruit and separate it into Ziploc baggies with bits of…

Soy milk causes breast cancer!?
I read an article last night that Soy Milk has a link to breast cancer due to the levels of estrogen in soy and that if breast cancer runs in your family, that you should avoid it. My grandmother had breast cancer, but I LOVE soy milk, growing on almond milk, and HATE HATE HATE regular milk. Has anyone heard this???

Crock pots...
Is anyone else TERRIFIED to leave a crock pot on when they're not home? I have found so many easy crock pot recipes that sound sooo good, but I'm afraid to leave it on for 5-10 hours because I don't want to start a fire (my biggest fear). I have two dogs and a cat who I absolutely adore and I'd have to be committed if…

Cleaning as exercise!?
Does anyone count cleaning or cooking as exercise? According to MFP, 30 mins of cleaning is 187 cals (I think...it's either 30 mins or an hour) and I think 30 mins of cooking is around 80 cals. Confession: I do, only when I've gone over my calories by no more than 100 and it's not an exercise day :blushing:

Turkey Enchilada Casserole
I LOVE Enchiladas, and even more, enchiladas that are easy to make and won't make you add 5lbs! I made this last night, and even my very picky fiance loved it. Here goes - Turkey Enchilada Casserole ***Note: I used a casserole dish (I think the one under 13x9) and cut it up into 8 squares, giving myself two servings for…

My first NSV =)
So, I've been avoiding Week 3 in C25K for the last couple weeks. I don't know what got into me, but last night I tried it. Week three consists of 5 minute warm up, 90 second run, 90 second walk, two rounds of 3 minute run, then 3 minute walk, then 90 second walk, 90 second run, and 5 minute cool down. The 3 minute run…

Crunch Super Slimdown
Has anyone else tried this? I Netflixed it last night and, though it was pretty tough, I managed to get through the whole thing. I didn't think it would be *that* rough, man was I wrong! My yoga mat practically had a puddle of sweat on it from me! I'm sore this morning, but not totally sore to where I can't function. And I…

C25K...you are my nemesis!
Throughout my life, I have always been an athlete. I played basketball and tennis through HS and some college, but I was NEVER a runner. Even at my best, I could never run more than one mile without stopping. Maybe I didn't push myself? Either way, I hate it. Since I don't really have anyone to play tennis with, and I'm…

How do you enter stuff that's not in the database?
How do you guys enter foods that aren't in the database? For example, I had a major craving for a Sonic slush the other day, and, because I like to complicate things, I wanted a watermelon, grape, coconut, and cherry slush. Obviously that wasns't in the database, so how would I have added that?!?

My secretary, the saboteur!
My secretary is a sweet old lady who spoils the hell out of us, but most of that comes in the form of junk food. Living in South Texas, there's a mexican food restaurant everywhere you turn. Almost every morning, she gets us breakfast taquitos, donuts, cakes, cookies, you name it. Right now, she just walked in and gave us…

Diet pills...
Has anyone tried them? Anyone like them? Success? Hate 'em? I ask this because.... About 4 years ago when I was in college, I had a boyfriend who LOVED really skinny A&F type girls. Well, it was the end of my sophomore year of college, and I have always been athletic and NOT teeny tiny. So, because of him, I really wanted…

Discouraged =(
I'm soooo discouraged :mad: . I know I'm not supposed to expect immediate results, but losing at least one pound would be nice! I've been at this for two weeks. Worked out at least 3-4 times both weeks, loged every single thing that I eat, and stayed under my calories every day for the exception of one cheat day. Is that…
