With my kiddos starting back to school in a week, I was thinking about quick breakfasts for myself. This got me thinking about trying smoothies. However, I've never made one before. Does anyone have any favorite recipes for a novice such as myself? How do you up the protein? Are they...

So I've finally faced up to the fact that I have to start tracking calories again and lower my caloric intake in order to lose weight, no matter how much I would like to believe otherwise. I like calorie zigzagging to keep my body guessing. My question is, on lower calorie days, what kind of...

Where do I find out how many calories a person should intake when working as hard as we do with Cathe? On Mondays and Wednesdays I do a 1 1/2 hr taekwondo class. It is intense. I don't want to undereat. Thanks!

I bought LIS on DVD. However I'm thinking about buying the Cycle Max download. Does the download include premixes?

What is the verdict on "New Rules of Lifting for Women"? I know there are a few of you that are currently following the program. How are liking it, and, more importantly, what kind of results are you seeing? I have the book in hand, but haven't had a free moment to read it all the way through...

I'm considering trying Weight Watchers to lose about 15-20 pounds. I've heard how great it is and my office manager lost 100 pounds on WW. In the past I have always counted calories and stayed within a certain range. How do points work? Is it similar to or easier than counting calories? If...

I started the classic P90X rotation on Monday. So far I am noticing I am hungrier than usual. Is this normal? I don't have the diet info so I don't know what they say my caloric intake should be. I'm hoping to lose about 15-20 pounds by the end of the rotation.

DH is considering applying for a job out of state. Of course this would mean that we would have to move. I've worked hard my entire life (I'm only 31) and have worked for a very good company these past 10 years. However DH is the big breadwinner, making more than twice what I make. If he got...

I'm calling around trying to get estimates on painting my stairway & hallway, which has 20 foot walls. Does anyone have any idea what it costs to paint a room, ceiling, hallway, etc. I've never contracted this work out before, opting to paint everything myself so I have no earthly idea what to...

My Mom is finally trying to seriously lose weight. Her health is not that great and the weight loss would help tremendously in that department. As it stands she can not have back surgery due to her excess weight (at least 100 pounds overweight). If she had the surgery now then she could...

Hello Ladies! I hope everyone is having a great week. This week is going by so fast. I’m surprised it is already Thursday. This weekend will be so busy. My inlaws are coming into town. We are going to take the kids to the Boo Bash at the kids’ daycare. The kids go trick or treating...

Hello SunnyD, Kristan, Crystal, Tana, & anyone else I may have missed! Did you all have a great week & weekend? I pretty much hung around the house all weekend and ran a few errands. Nothing too exciting to report. My workouts are better. Of course it helps that the kids aren’t under the...

Good morning ladies! Right now I am sitting at my MIL's computer waiting for the rest of the house to wake up. Yes it is 9 a.m. I've been here since Friday night for a "girl's weekend" with my MIL & SIL. DH has been home with the kiddos. This weekend has been so much fun. We went...

So I've lost all the baby weight from having my 2 kids and then an additional 5 more pounds for a grand total of 59 pounds lost. I'm only 3 pounds away from my "goal" weight. Today a guy friend from work, who is really sweet, innocently asked me, "When are you going to be done losing weight?"...

Hello Ladies! The weeks are zooming by. It is hard to believe it is already October. Before we know it it will be Christmas. This past week was okay as far as eating, but the exercising was not anything to brag about. I was fatigued and felt like I was coming down with something, but it...

I'm a complete novice when it comes to steaming veggies. I've owned my steamer for probably a year now and have only used it once, to steam broccoli. Can someone please give me some good ideas on how you steam veggies? What veggies do you eat? How do you flavor them? I normally spray my...

Hello Ladies! I seem to be getting later and later with posting. Sorry about that ladies! From Friday night until Sunday night, my eating has been really horrible. It was my birthday weekend. I gave myself the okay to eat what I wanted. I’m paying for it now though. I’m up another pound...
