Vacation Eating
This is my 3rd year in a row going to this vacation. I will be there for a week. Exercise is no problem since we will be walking everywhere. Then I think about food. Not so much with concerns about gaining weight but concerns with the idea that I have been eating healthier for a few months now and I know how MAD my body…

Jillian Michales dvds
I have owned 30DS a long time and enjoy it for getting back into the swing of working out. However recently I noticed I have lost a lot of my flexibility so i picked up Yoga Meltdown tonight. I chuckled to myself when I read the heading of lose up to 5lbs in a week. I mean really? Yoga? lbs? didn't seem realistic. However…

Christmas Leftovers YUM!
I'm currently enjoying a huge salad made with a base of 50/50 spring mix and spruced up with Christmas leftovers. I added a small dab of potato salad, sliced up some turkey, half a deviled egg and used a lot of the left over fruit and veggy trays to make a great meal. Spray with a few squirts of salad spritzers and I could…

Steamers!
Those fancy little bags you find in your frozen food section. I'm particularly fond of the green giant types. I throw these in the microwave and its a veggy packed meal in under 10 minutes. Anyone else loving these things? Any favorites?

Salt!!
Any ideas for lowering salt intake? The catch: I live in a studio apartment with a small Cabinet, medium sized mini fridge and a microwave. Recipes and food idea please!?

Goal weights
Does anyone feel like a lot of girls on here have unrealistic goal weights? That they are too obsessive over calories and salt and everything?! That they think they need to burn 1000 calories a day? It is so discouraging to me to see so many girls that have gone from wanting to get healthy to being obsessed. I remember…

Zumba Fitness: Rush for kinect
This game has been the first fun exercise I have found since I played basketball in middle school. If you have a kinect and enjoy dancing I would highly suggest this. :)

What has motivated you this week?
I bought workout clothes 2 new sports bras (I never knew a non walmart sports bra was worth the money but my girls and back can enjoy a workout now) Also bought 2 shirts with built in sports bras (not as supportive of the girls but more coverage for the front when working out of the house) I also bought a yoga dvd (I think…

Juice
I have recently discovered Naked drinks. I'm a real fan of Blue Machine. I can read the nutrition labels and feel okay about drinking these as a quick breakfast or mid work snack but cringe at the amount of sugar and the "fruit juice concentrate" in the ingredients. What does everyone think? I know some people do juicing.…

Have you worked out today?
Neither have I. That is why I'm getting off to go play Zumba for the kinect. I challenge anyone who has not done a work out today to get up and spend at least 10 minutes burning some calories. And if you have worked out today another 10 minutes or even just a few reps with your weights won't hurt! Let me know how it goes!

Not weight related
Everything I say is taken the wrong way. Could build up an entire speech on how amazing someone is and at the end of it they will call me a ***** for how rude I am. I don't understand and its getting a bit depressing. Anyone have some ideas on what I might be doing wrong? And this is not weight related. Just in general.

Looking for some motivation buddies
I have had my fitness pal for a year now. It did great things for me last year but life got hectic and I got out of my good habits. I'm going to be tracking every day for the next few months to get my healthy habits back. I'm looking for some friends who share some of the same goals as me. I want to get healthy and life an…

My scale seems to have broke
This scale is probably 7 years old and though I'm not obsessed with the number I want to have a fairly accurate idea of where my weight is. Does anyone have a good suggestion for an accurate scale that isn't too expensive?

Just a funny, small NSV
I got home and opened my fridge out of habit to grab a soda. After opening it I found myself not drinking it for 5 minutes and when I did take a drink I basically sprinted back to the fridge to fill my bottle of water. My body is finally learning! Now I just have to get my mind out of the habits it has formed.

Goals
Does anyone have a number goal that isn't in the "healthy" range?

Cleaned the kitchen
I need to get back on track and I figured throwing out the rotting, expired, high sugar, low nutrient foods to make room for healthy foods was a good place to start. :D Now I just need to go shopping.

3lbs in 2 days
How much I put back on in the last 2 days! I was amazed when I got on the scale this morning. I wish it came off that fast. The funny thing was I wasn't massively over my calories and I was still being active. Basically a few days of hanging with friends and eating out 2/3 meals a day. Not a good choice. It spiked my fat…
