    Going on a week and a half of MFP and I already feel 10 times better! I've been doing the Biggest Loser strength and cardio DVDs since it's freezing cold outside! Anyone have any suggestions on other videos that are good? I love Biggest Loser...but the squats and lunges are killing my legs! I need a little something to mix it up! Ya'll be thinking of me too- I go out of town this weekend and my weigh in is on Sunday! I hope I don't fall off the bandwagon and gain weight! EEK!

    :flowerforyou: You can do it- just think of all the hard work you've put in already and how good you'll feel if you stick to it as best as you can!

    Nicole you are probably building major muscle. i had that problem a couple years ago, i was going crazy with the workouts, and instead of losing pounds i was building muscle and eventually i shaped up really nicely. dont give up!!
    i did 20 minutes of tae bo yesterday. 50 crunches and 50 bicycle crunches ( i finally found out what they were called, lol)
    today im soooo sore and hungry LOL!!!!!
    Keep it up everyone!!!!!!

    I went to my step class today. It was fun! However, we didn't use the step!! It was more of a circiut training thing. Our instructor had statons set up for triceps dips, pushups, lunges, curls, etc. We'd do a station for 1 minute then jump into about 5 minutes of cardio & then move on to the next station. It was different, fun & tough! It's great that our instructor tries to keep it interesting! We finished it all up with some serious ab work!

    I picked up the BL cardio blast today at Walmart. I plan on trying it out tomorrow!

    It's only about 8:30 & I am so ready to go to bed now...zzz ....:yawn:

    Hey you all! I worked 8 hours today and came home wore out for some reason. Then we went to look at a house we are talking about buying. I came home at 6 pm and laid down til 8:30 pm. I am still tired but I am up for a little while watching horror movies. If we buy this house, there is almost 5 acres of land so there is plenty of room to walk and exercise plus the house is old and in need of some major TLC so there will be plenty of exercise there too! I know I could use it! Hope everyone is doing well.

    I worked out on my gazelle for 30 minutes and the ablounge for 20. Then I went hiking with the family in our national park for about 90 minutes. That's it for me today. No bowflex tonight!!! Have a great night all!!!:drinker:

    Ahhh! A friend's birthday party and a bachelorette party one night after the other does not help me stay on target with eating!! I didn't even log my food the last few nights because I know I would be sooo over the limit:tongue:

    I'm back to being good now though. I went to my body sculpting class last night and we did a ton of arm work, some chest and shoulders, about a million squats and some ab stuff. All with free weights. I'm up to using 15 lbs weights now...doesn't sound like a lot but when you push yourself to muscle fatigue, it's heavy!!

    And what is this BL cardio everyone is talking about? I'm intrigued!

    Best,
    Sam

    I did a 20 minute Pilates workout today and some Taebo!! Haven't done Taebo in years, it was fun! Although...does anyone know how many calories ol Billy Blanks actually helps you burn? I didn't seem to have to work very hard.

    Keep at it!!

    Hi, I also need someone to keep me on track. I try to walk everyday atleast 30 minutes, and I bought an exercise ball yesterday. It would be great to talk to someone.

    i love tae bo. i looked on his website and it says that you burn about 350 calories per 30 minutes. im not sure if that is true. we'll see i guess! that is what im going to do today is taebo. LOVE IT
    nicole your calories sound really good! you are probably still toning and getting muscles built up, so that is probably why you arent losing lbs. have you taken your inches? i heard that is where the real good stuff shows LOL
    Love you all!!!!
