    Great to have you all as part of my MFP family

    Well I have been been on a 1200-1300 calorie diet since the beginning.. And usually 3 times a month I try and "shock" my body by having a lil bad in my diet .. AKA.. ((cheat day)) "like zaxby's" my favorite.. just give's your body a lil wakeup every once in a while..

    I workout 6 days a week for at least 2-3 hrs every morning, I get up about 4:30 so my babies are still sleeping.. I change up my routine daily except with the video workout I may be using at the time.. that's a constant until it ends.. ((right now it's boot camp "biggest loser"))
    I also use elliptical/stepper, Ifit Treadmill w/shoxs, boxing/punching bag.. then I do some strenghtening with a weight machine/loose weights.. Jumping jacks, squats and situps are some of my favorites to do thru out the day randomly..

    (Just so you know us chunky monkey's can have loose skin but here is my secret I have learned and it works)
    Ok.. loose skin:::: well I was very scared about that and yes I still have some, but I have also had 3 babies so it's not all going to go away.. the secret is to not let it be to bad is to buy yourself a spanks a size smaller than you are to help suck in your loose skin while exercising.. "it works" it's like tightening your muscles for you instead of sitting there trying to suck your gut in the whole time during your workout... you will notice a big difference within the first 2 weeks

    Hope it helps you out feel free to write me anytime and I will try to help.. But thanks again to you all for Joining my MFP family... We Rock!!!!

    Always Remember: "Believe in yourself and know that you'll cross the finish line. No one can want it bad enough for you. You have to want it for yourself and you have to want it more than anything."

    Your friend,
