Join US! FAB FOURS (4 week challenge group) NEW!

I am a mother of two beautiful boys. I work full time and I am starting school in the Spring. I have been dieting my whole life and ready to be out of this body!!!:explode: :explode: :explode: It makes me so angry that I let myself get this way. But no looking back just forward. Think Positive! My biggest challenge is going to be snacking on all the bad foods that call my name, expecially late at night. But I am ready to live a healthy life not only for me but my family. My goal for the next 4 weeks is to loose 10 pounds. Today I did really good!! I am going to watch Ice Age 3 and have 100 calorie popcorn. Hope everyone has a wonderful night!!

Hi everyone!
I would love to join this group also! I am 24 and 141 lbs. I just graduated college two years ago and I weighed 128. I had a lot more time then to eat healthy and exersize and i have let myself get away from a lot of good habits. I would love to have some accountability! I am hoping to lose at least 5 lbs my first month. I will check in on tuesday!

Good Luck to everyone else!

Want to join! My husband is deploying next month for over a year and want to look smokin' when he gets back!

Hi everyone! I am having a challenging day, so I popped online to get some motivation to get in a workout yet today. I had a long massage this morning (much needed for my aching muscles), and thought that would kick-start me to go kick-butt ... but I heard the siren song of Starbucks and a grande low-fat latte later, I lost my impetus to workout. So I'm reading our posts and getting inspired again.

As for burning a lot of calories in 30 minutes, I do know that the PX90 cardio and Jillian SHRED DVDs offer a great burn. Depending upon how many minutes, you can burn up to 500 calories in an hour. But I do want a HRM so thanks for the tips on which one might be a good choice!

OK, I'm going to shut down and turn on Jillian and try to get going! Hope everyone has a great weekend!

P.S. Our start date the 8th, is 25 weeks until Memorial Day! FYI!

The most intense cardio for burning fat is the Insanity Series with Shaun T! I have done Tony Horton P90X cardio and plyo and it is nothing to the Insanity series, in the Insanity series I usually burn 500 to 600 per workout and that is sometimes not quite a full hour! It is extreme and not for beginners!!! It is a two month series and now I just use it a couple of days per week and go to the gym on the other days!

LOVELOVELOVE this idea. I mean, some days will be easy for some, more challenging for others, good for all of us. Love it!

Michelle, I admire your love of running. Do you have a running partner? Where is your marathon in the spring?

My youngest daughter's boyfriend finished third for his age group in the 2009 Portland Marathon! He has qualified for the 2010 Boston Marathon twice this year, and I sure wish he'd go. I'm proud of him.

What an accomplishment for him! That's incredible! I only wish I was that talented. I've done 2 half marathons and one 10km this fall. I mainly run just for fun. I'm not fast by any means. My second half marathon was done in 1:57:12. The marathon I want to run is the Tacoma City Marathon on may 2nd. my goal is 4 hours and 30minutes. I might change it to 4hours and 15min since there are a bunch of pacers doing that race that I can follow. Sadly, I don't have a running partner and do all my runs solo.

Sorry ya'll I meant 903 calories in 90 minutes...hence it was 430 am and I was still sleeping whent I typed this.

Proud of myself today did very well on the eating wagon as ya'll know I am a waitress at a busy busy resturant so I burned lots of calories there and I also went to the the gym to burn almost 600 calories in one hour.

Well everyone the weekends are hard for me to get on here because I work like ten hour days then I go to the gym right from work so the kids and hubby cant deter me, then I come home and have to deal with them go grocery shoppping, you know, its a littel thing called....life

I have a HRM that I wear its a polar F4 and I love, I would never go another day without one.

I did well eating today stayed on the wagon came home from the gym took my son to his friends house and hubby and daughter wanted mexican I went with them but I watched them eat. Then we went to a book store and I was looking at cookie cook book because they are my favorite, I told my husband we had to leave becasue I could feel myself wanting a cookie.

Well everyone its 7:46 pm and I have to be up at 330 to be at work at 5 am so I gotta go to bed to get up and weigh my food before work, hope eberyone has a great day and enjoys your sunday!!!!

I just returned from snowshoeing with my husband. We hiked to a lake where we camp during the summer. Today, it was frozen over, with a layer of snow on top of it, and it was perfectly silent on a bright, sunny day. What a beautiful sight. The hike was a great workout (I'm sore). I'll post a photo.

Susan, you are so lucky to have been given that tranquil moment today, cherish that image in your heart and mind!!!

I have been really down lately so maybe this is what i need to get me back on track. I would love to give this a try. I don't know how well i will do.... Im pretty sure my husband thinks im yucky and it makes me feel so hopeless when it comes to eating right and exercise. I will give it my best effort though. shelly

I have been told that they are on sale right now! My "rich"son is getting me a Polar for Christmas and I told him the F6 but his says there are others sweeter than that so we'll see! When I say rich son, he is a consultant in the oilfield! All say, put strap under your bra strap and you hardly notice!! Hope so! I use a MIO hrm right now and I do not think it works well, it is a watch one! Have a good day!
