What exercises do you do during your TOM?
It's no surprise to probably everyone, that when TOM is in town, none of us want to work out. we'd rather lay on the couch, nibble on a square of giradeli chocolate, and just try to be smart with what we eat since we won't be burning calories. I know as far as mine goes, it is killer almost every day, I have the cramps…

Boosting My Metabolisom...
Hello everyone! I just had a question to ask everyone. Obviously for those like me, after gaining a lot of weight and trying to loose it, our metabolisms aren't quite what they were in our teen years. they've slowed down and it's a lot more work on our parts to loose the weight. My fitness coach has put me on a 6-day phase…

Dinner Ideas?
I am drawing a blank as to what I want for dinner, ideas anyone? I have to have 4oz of protein, as many veggies as I want, a serving of fruit, and some starch. Normally I have a salmon fillet grilled, grilled carrots, natural unsweetened applesauce, and a baked potoato with FF butter. It's a great meal, but it's extremely…

THOSE AWFUL STRETCH MARKS!!!
So, considering that this is a weight loss and fitness forum, i'm pretty positive that i am not the only one who is self conscious about my stretch marks.
