I don't like Sculpt either, but I think it does target spots that aren't really hit in other workouts-- specifically the arms. I'm annoyed because I have to do it essentially every other day for the pear shape.

I want to murder the plank!! But great work!

I'm doing it, too, as you've already figured out :) It is a lot of fun, but it is still challenging. I haven't really explored the Beach Body stuff, though at the end of every workout there are ads that make me think I should. Get ready for lots of booty shaking and for the word "butt" to completely lose meaning because…

haha My husband says the same things about me. Have you tried explaining that you love her and her cooking, but you're really trying to get fit so you need to eat less and healthier? Maybe you could sit down with her to meal plan for the week. Also, if a big breakfast on weekends is important to her, have it, but plan for…

You can do it!! Bum Bum is my favorite, and I think it's really effective. Make sure you stick with "level 1" for the first few times... it does made it more manageable than with all the jumping and touching the floor added. Today is my 5th day of actually following the pear shape schedule. It's been tough, but my husband…

I use a HRM, and I actually burn more than MFP says-- so it all depends on the person.

I'm game! I've been doing the workouts multiple times a week, but I haven't followed the plan. I started yesterday, making a promise to myself I would stick with it. Really, why is committing for a month so difficult?! Which "solution" are you guys following? I'm doing the pear... lots of High and Tight and Sculpt. It's…

I recently bought a heart rate monitor for this purpose! However, before I bought it, I logged Bum Bum and Cardio Axe as aerobics- high impact, and the calories burned were pretty similar to my HRM, same with Bum Bum Rapido. I'm not sure what to do for the others. Tummy Tuck and I don't burn many calories (it was about 70…

I'm long-time vegan. Feel free to add me :)

I've been at it for about three weeks as well-- I definitely -feel- different, but I'm not sure I'm seeing anything yet, either. Like you, I think my butt may be getting into some actual shape other than blob, but I'm not sure. I've heard some ladies need to do two rounds before really seeing fantastic results... I'm…

I'm 25... is that early enough? Either way, I'm positively supportive, so feel free to add me :)

It really does get easier (well, everything but tummy tuck). The first time I tried Cardio Axe I was so confused, I nearly gave up. I love Bum Bum, though. Now, I can do either in the morning before work and still have the energy to get to the office. I really like the displayed timer. It helps encourage me to follow all…

I disagree, as well. That's tons of walking! And you do need more calories when you're walking that much and in the sun. Going to a theme park is always great exercise... and walking is an exercise. .

That's too funny! My husband is not allowed anywhere near me while I'm "shaking my booty." I do not look like those ladies, and even they look goofy at times. He'll come half way up the stairs and yell, "Go, Bubble! Shake your boot!" and go back downstairs. Ha, motivation. He's complaining about wanting abs, though, so I…

I'm the petite of petite--- I'm not 5'0 tall yet (almost...), and I'm 25 and currently 133. I've been losing the same 3 pounds for a month now, and it's so frustrating. I'm eating 1200 calorie,and it's easy for me to stick around there. I plan out the day, don't buy junk food, and I'm vegan. I gained 10 pounds after…

This is so good to know. I'm hoping that I will be able to get it all "down" and make myself look awesome on my living room "dance floor!" [/quote] I totally understand!!! I'm just now able to do the turns as well! I think it was my fifth time with the DVD. I don't know why that part is so challenging. Glad I'm not the…

I've been doing this for a few weeks. Just did Bum Bum this morning, actually. I'll join!

haha Great post! I don't think my rear will ever look like the girls' on the DVD, but if it get's even remotely close, I would love to wear a bikini and feel confident walking on the beach. Someday...

I've been enjoying Bum Bum and Bum Bum Rapido 3-4 time a week for a few weeks... On Tuesday, I decided I would really run through the whole program. Hopefully, I'll stick with it. It's challenging for me when I don't like the workouts (or get frustrated because the DVD folks move so darn fast), but I did Cardio Axe for the…

I saw a similar recipe on Hungry Girl... and it's sitting in my freezer. I used banana, peanut butter and honey. Next time, I'll add some mini semi-sweet chocolate chips. It is really good!

I'm vegan (long, long time), and I'm always trying to figure out new recipes. I love vegweb.com for recipe ideas-- I always modify them, but it's a good place to start. Last night, I made a really yummy eggplant dish. My husband isn't vegan, so I'll describe how I made his. I sliced the eggplant, sprayed the slices with…

I've been vegan for 14 years and vegetarian for 4 before that. B12 is definitely the most challenging piece of the nutrition puzzle for me-- so I just take a supplement. There are so many protein sources out there, that these days, it's a non-issue. Be sure to vary your diet and still have balanced meals.…

I'm about 5'0, and my goal is 115. I don't think I've ever weighed less (as a teen/adult, anyway), and I'd be frightened to aim for lower. I've been the same size pretty much since I was 12, give or take 15 pounds, and I want to get back to the "take 15 pounds" haha. Feel free to add me as a friend-- us petite gals have to…

I'm also supposed to consume 1200 calories, and I tend to go under. Always remember that many veggies are super low in calories and can be filling. I fill a good portion of my plate with a salad or broccoli, carrots and zucchini and then have my protein and carb. I love carbs, but I eat my veggies first so by the time I…

If you want veg friendly, Whole Foods sells it. It's really tasty. My favorite recipe is tofu steaks with sauteed onions and wasabi mashed potatoes -One block of tofu cut into 4-5 "steaks" or slices. -Marinate in mix of 1/4c EVOO; 7 or so splashes of soy sauce; 2T of Worcestershire sauce; 1T balsamic vinegar; and add salt,…

I'm 25 and would like some MFP motivation. Anyone feel free to add me!

I, too, found BBL via infomercial early in the morning. I've ordered it and have used it for the past week. But... I'm really terrible with commitment and haven't followed through with the plan. I've done it almost daily, but not in the order recommended. :( I really, really like Bum Bum Rapido and do it before work…

Hi there! I've been vegan for 14 years and was vegetarian for four years before. I made the decision when I was 8 to be vegetarian because I didn't believe animals were food. And when I was 12, I learned about chickens being bred with no beaks and no legs because they would go crazy and peck each other to death in coups.…
