    Eat to live, not live to eat (the right thing!)

    :0) Glad I could help. I value my health and nutrition, don't get me wrong. I love the way eating right and exercising regularly make me feel! But when you start missing out on the little pleasures in life, and don't let yourself have what you really want sometimes, it can backfire in a major...

    Eat to live, not live to eat (the right thing!)

    Hey guys. As much as I have posted and ranted and raved about healthful eating, I was missing out on a key point that plays just as big of a part in eating as does nutrition: PLEASURE. Enjoying your food is so important. How many times I have sat in the corner at work birthday parties or been...

    NEW FIRM SET

    Man, you saved my ASS! Really, thank you for your honest and forward review! I was SO SO SO close to buying that set! I'm so glad I held off... I would've been so mad with the results if it's what you say it is! I think this set is probably geared towards sucking people (beginners) into the...

    what do you eat?

    RE: Fitday HEY! There's no recipe... I've posted a few days meals throughout the thread and she got the idea from that. I just take a small 3-oz can of water packed tuna or some canned salmon and mash a quarter of an avocado into it. It holds it together so I can sort of form it into a patty...

    RE: Hey, Debra WHERE is there a trader joe's? I live in The Colony, TX, which is about 20 minutes from Dallas. We have Whole Foods markets here, but I've never seen a trader joe's... I have heard a lot about them, though! Help me find one! :0)

    oat bran and flax seed

    HEY! Well, I know that if you don't grind flax seeds before you eat them, your body can't digest them, so you'll miss out on all their health benefits. So grind and eat away! :0) And thanks for the bkfst ideas. Almond or PB on toast with fruit and soy milk is one of my fave breakfasts...

    oat bran and flax seed

    Has anyone tried oat bran (hot cereal)? I was curious if it tastes anything like oatmeal. It has a good amount of protein and a hefty dose of fiber, and I wanted to get some opinions on it before I bought some. Also, about flaxseed...I have heard so many good things about it! I'm hoping...

    what do you eat?

    RE: Fitday HEY! Oh, I'm so glad you liked it! I eat avocado with my sandwhiches several times each week for lunch. And cooking light magazine is great! I subscribed for a few years and have their cookbook. It's good for fixing big meals for special events and get togethers. Unfortunately...

    NEW FIRM SET

    I too decided to hold off. I am too afraid that I will get the videos and they will be too easy, or that they will be sold seperately at a MUCH cheaper price. And I don't like being given a deadline so suddenly. Maybe the sets really suck and they are trying to sell them all quickly before...

    NEW FIRM SET

    HEY! Thanks for your opinion! I have purchased all but one of my Firm videos from collagevideo.com. I heard that the Firm customer service is horrible, so I've always gotten their videos elsewhere. I agree about the "Hurry and order, time's running out" crap, giving us a deadline like that...

    NEW FIRM SET

    Oh man, what should I do? I have read a review or 2 of the new firm set and was thinking about purchasing it. There's that deal going on where you can get the set for 60$ (it's normally 80$), but it ends tomorrow night. I'm a little worried that if I invest in this now after only having read one...

    Suggestions For Gentle Advice To Stepdaughter

    Please listen to what I have to say... I was in the same situation years ago. At age 17 or so, I began to change my lifestyle, started working out everyday, quit smoking, and started to eat more healthfully. I kept a food diary, measured my portions, and counted fat and calories religiously...
