Unrefined Sugar Suggestions
I'm considering cutting out refined sugar (or at least trying to cut out the majority of it, since I find myself eating SO much of it these days). I'm wondering for those of you who have cut it out or at least tried to cut down, what's your first choice to use in place of the sugar... ...for baking? And can you use it in…

Fish
I've read too much lately. There's always something wrong with food...dyes, antibiotics, pesticides, funky additives, etc, but I like fish. Because of what I've read, I've resorted to only eating salmon (usually wild caught, sustainable) these days. If you eat fish, what kind do you eat? I don't particularly care for that…

Strength & Weigh Training Question
I'm always reading about people lifting weights, strength training, toning etc. From what I've read, I could benefit from some of this myself. My question is, where, how and with what do I start? I don't want to be muscular I'd just like to be less flabby and much stronger.

Wii, PS3, XBox Games
I was thinking about investing in some of the Just Dance &/or Zumba games, does anyone have any opinions, recommendations or advice concerning games like these? And just to mention, I usually do Leslie Sansone and that's pretty low impact, my joints can't take too much bending and so forth. Thanks!

Calories Burned
Curious to know what is your calories burned set on and how did you come to choose that number? I just randomly selected 2,300 and I rarely meet that goal. I'm sure I will once it's warmer out, but otherwise during the winter it's simply been useless and unrealistic number. LOL

HELP! Fleeing the Feeling to...
make BAD choices! For some reason, I got the kiddos off to school this morning and on the way home I had this almost uncontrollable desire to do something "bad". Light up a cig, have a drink or eat - a lot of bad for me stuff. It's 7:30 in the morning, WTH?!? I suppose I was a bit stressed because of all the traffic around…

Ideas for leftover Teriyaki Pork Shoulder
I cooked a pork roast in the crock pot a couple days ago and I have a ton of meat left. Usually I would make tortillas or tacos with the leftovers, but this time I used teriyaki sauce and orange juice for the marinade. It has more of an asian vibe than a BBQ/Mexican vibe, so....other than stir fry it, anyone have any ideas…

Simply curious as to other opinions...
I was on "vacation" for the past 3 weeks. I have been on the road and in my car and on foot, eating out in fancy restaurants and a few cheap eats places. I haven't made the best choices, but I haven't made the worst ones either. In 3 weeks, I lost 4.5 lbs. even though I haven't been so strict on myself and I have been…

Favorite Low Fat Proteins
I'm having a bit of trouble with my protein. I love chicken & seafood and an occasional steak. My doctor says I need to increase my protein intake. I realistically eat only about 3-5 oz. of protein per day and should be getting at least 9! What do you eat when you need a hefty dose of protein? (I don't use anything that I…
