| old and overweight |
| I'm an "old lady." Is this possible--lifting weights? Really? I know old is relative, but the people in the book aren't in their late fifties, and I don't see any women as overweight as I am--5'4", 178 pounds. |

Don't be scared of the exercise, it might feel akward at first but after a couple of workouts you will get the hang of it. I wish you good luck with your new lifestyle! |

| Couples Workout |

It will only if both of you are into the same type of routine and are both able to make the commitment. It is always great to have a spotter though and if you guys are both lifting then at least you can share that. I prefer to work out alone. |

| Eating on a budget |

Oatmeal makes a very cheap breakfast. I eat about 2 packets each breakfast and I still get 4-5 meals out of a box. Also, a carton of eggs will only cost a couple bucks. One other thing I do is buy cans of vegetables and eat them like meals. Sometimes you can fill up like that with only a couple hundred calories. |
| breakfast help |
| There are 5 replies, with the last one on Apr 03 2010 at 18:17:30 by aaron28 Quote: I've got something weird I do. It's kind of a breakfast casserole I call "3 Minute Egg Casserole". I take about 3 peices of toast and I rip them into crouton size bits and put them into a bowl. I open a couple of eggs and I put them in the bowl too. I mix them together until the eggs cover the toast evenly and then I microwave them for a little under 3 minutes. (Every microwave is different - be careful) I put light syrup on it and eat it. That's how I make breakfast. |
