Anyone tried Zumba Rush for xbox?
I was thinking about getting this because then I wouldn't have to worry about the waistband for the Wii remote. Has anyone tried it? Do you like it?

Really thinking of quitting S90 and going to P90X.
I'm kinda getting bored with Supreme 90. I've been doing it for over a month. (I started in Dec, then re-started in Jan.) I'm used to doing 30-day dvds, not 90. The thing is, I don't know if I'm really getting "bored" or if it's just me wanting to do something else so I can have that "new" thing. P90X is also a 90 day…

"real" food vs "low-fat/light/fat-free" food
Okay, so my mom was telling me last night that she saw on one of the doctor shows that you shouldn't get the stuff that's low fat or fat-free. She said that what they take out in fat and calories, they add in sugar and other chemicals. She also said that they said it's better to eat the real bacon and sausage vs getting…

Greek yogurt is an acquired taste
So, this is only the 2nd time I've had it. The first time I tried Dannon Oikos with strawberries. Now I'm trying Chobano with black cherries. I didn't like the Dannon brand, but Chobano seems to be a bit better. I think it might take me a while to get used to the texture of Greek Yogurt. Is there any brands better than…

Need suggestions for game night munchies!
So I am going to a friend's house on Saturday for a game night. We play lots of board games like Taboo, pictionary, and other fun games like that, (NO video games.) It's fun, and we usually eat a lot of junk like potato chips, twizzlers, chocolate, and whatever we have out on the table. Usually I just let myself go with…

Not my Mama's Meals on Food Network
I just saw a glimpse of this show for the first time yesterday on Food Network. It's one of Paula Deen's sons (the younger/shorter/cuter one), and he is recreating his mom's recipe's, but turning them into healthier lower calorie versions. The one I saw yesterday was some kind of donut cake, and chocolate merengue pie.…

olive garden - what is good to get there?
So I'm going to Olive Garden on Friday with my coworkers for lunch. I just looked on their website, and they don't really have a lot to order that will keep me under. What do you get when you go there? I am going to try to limit myself to ONE breadstick. It will be hard, but I'll try...

is it okay to go over on protein?
I was over my protein by 34 (grams?) yesterday. Is it okay? How much is too much?

Need ideas for healthy snacks
I'm a snacker. I like to eat something every 2-3 hours. In between my main courses, I'll eat a snack that is no higher than 150 cals. I'm looking for more ideas. Here is what I eat or usually eat: celery (with honey mustard or peanut butter.) kashi bars special k bars rice cakes with cheese wedge low-fat yogurt grapes…

Restarting in 2012! Brand new year!
Okay, since the end of November I haven't really been trying as hard as I should with fitness/exercise and eating right. I blame myself for letting loose during the Holidays. Well the Holidays are almost over, and so is my "being-loose." I am going to start 2012 off right. Come January 2nd, (I always start on Mondays) I am…

I feel like I've lost my motivation...
I am having a hard time right now keeping up with the healthy lifestyle. I don't know what happened to my motivation. I haven't exercised since last Wednesday. Part of that problem is that I wake up tired in the morning, even though I go to bed around 10pm to get up at 6 am. I always end up waking up around 4-5 am and…

Favorite "dance" games for Xbox/Wii?
I'm thinking about getting one of those dance games for the xbox or the Wii. I'm trying to decide between the 3 Just Dances for the Wii and the 2 Dance Centrals for Xbox. Which is your fav? is it because of the song choices?

Supreme 90 - anyone done this?
I'm thinking about starting this in November. Has anyone else done this? What did you think? Is there any kind of comparison from this to insanity or P90X?

Need help with strength training ideas
So starting next week I'm going to run 3 days a week for the rest of October to train for my 5K. That will be my cardio. I will be doing strenth the days in between, but the problem is that I don't do well strength training on my own. I need someone or something (like an app) to tell me what to do and for how long. What…

P90X-Do you really need a pull up bar?
I just finished watching the infomercial on P90X. I'm really thinking of trying it in November. (Got workouts for October planned already.) The infomercial says all you need is a set of dumbbells or resistance bands, and a pull up bar. Thing is, I don't trust my door jams to hold a pull up bar. Do you really need the pull…

Ripped in 30 - Start date 09/05/2011
I will be finishing 30DS on Wednesday, so I want to give my body a break from this type of training. I will go out this weekend and purchase the DVD so that I am ready on Monday. Who wants to join with me? I plan on doing this Mon-Sat, and resting on Sundays.

stuck in a dinner rut...need suggestions
So I'm going to the grocery store later to get food for the week. I'm getting snacks and ingredients for dinners. The problem is that I have no idea what we're going to do for dinner. I like to be the one to plan the dinners because then I can plan meals around my liefstyle, but still make them appealing to my husband & 2…

Do you go somewhere to run, or just your neighborhood?
I would love to go somewhere beautiful with pretty scenery to run, but don't really have a location close to home. So when I start running next month, it will just be in the neighborhood.

Do you use your HRM for your warm ups & cool downs?
I have the polar FT4. I put on the watch and chest strap before I start the workout, but I don't push the "start" button on the watch until the warm up is finished and I actually start the workout. I push the "stop" button when he workout is finished, and I begin my cooldown. So the calories my HRM counts is only for the…

30DS start date 7/25/11 - Who's in?
I'm going out this weekend and I am going to buy 30DS. I plan on taking measurements in inches and in pounds, along with before & after pictures. Who wants to start with me on Monday?

I think when 30DS is done...I may started RI30
I'm almost finished with level 2 of 30DS, so I want to be prepared for the next step in my workout so that I don't get into a workout slump like I did before where I got bored. So I think ripped in 30 will be next on my list to try. Anyone else do this? How was it?

my husband is finally starting to get it..
Okay, so he isn't on the same journey as me and that's okay. However, I do ask that he help me when it comes to tracking my food. He knows to keep food wrappers/nutrition labels out so I can track them (or scan them with the nifty barcode scanner on my iphone.) Also, yesterday when he made meatloaf, I asked him to measure…

I just discovered nutella...I think I am in trouble!
I have never had Nutella before last saturday, but I have been wanting to try it. So...I did. The cafe in our Barnes & Noble store had this nutella to go packet, so I figured I'd try it. It was SOOO good! Later that day I went and bought a jar. It's not that much worse than peanut butter since skippy is 190 cals for 2 tbsp…

fresh veggies on the MFP database
Let me be the first to say, I love MFP. However, trying to log fresh veggies is almost impossible. Unless I get them from a brand (bag of baby carrots from green giant, lettuce from fresh express, etc) that has nutrition info on them, I have the HARDEST time trying to find the right calorie count for any fresh veggies that…

goin to the movies on Friday...but the popcorn!
I feel like I have to have popcorn at the movie theatres. It's a hard habit to break. Last time I went to the theatres, my husband bought a large popcorn, but had them put some of it in a small bag before he added butter & salt. That way I could still enjoy my popcorn without the extra added crap. Problem is...it was…

Food network is a BAD BAD thing!
I watch it all the time during the weekends because I like to have new ideas for food. Some of the food they make looks sooo good, but is probably so bad. Specially Paula Deen. I especially cannot watch Diners, Drive-ins, & Dives. I am ALWAYS hungry after I watch that show!

What was your fnal straw?
I know we all have our reasons as to why we need/want to lose the weight. But what was your final straw that said... "Enough is enough! Time to get started on this journey!" For me, it was the clothes. My clothes were starting to get too small and I don't have the money to keep buying new clothes that fit. I was also tired…

I'm actually excited about starting 30DS!
I looked at some of the before & after pics for 30DS and they are amazing! I'm going out sometime today to getthe DVD and I will be starting Monday. I think part of the reason that I'm excited is that it's something new. My biggest loser sculpting DVD was starting to get mundane and boring as I have been doing it for…

Anyone want to share before & after pics for 30DS?
I'm starting this on Monday and I saw someone's before & after pics, and I was wondering if anyone else had pictures. Seeing everyone else's results will keep me motivated. Thanks!

What is Thursday's mini challenge?
Can we start posting the next day's challenge the night before? I sometimes don't get to check the MFP boards til night after my kids are in bed, so it'd be nice to know in advance the next day's challenge so I can prepare.
