I'm not sure who you are referring to, but I'm all set. A pound is a pound.

Not trying to be funny...I'm just set on it cause a pound is a pound.

So are we talking half a pound or a couple of grams? A pound is a pound-whether it be feathers or bricks.....

Just for clarification-I didn't come up with this. I got it from http://www.onemorebite-weightloss.com/muscle-to-fat.html. I didn't notice til I posted that I neglected to put the link in there. I just think it's important to know that fat and muscle weigh the same thing, but are, in fact, very different in many other…

Happy Hump Day all! Once & boringly(is that a word?) I did Hip Hop Abs Total Body Burn and will get in another mile walk later with the kiddies. So glad spring has sprung! Have a good day all!

5 lbs. of fat is much bulkier than 5 lbs. of muscle, but five pounds is still five pounds. Muscle does not weigh more than fat. Fat is bulky and lumpy so if you carry an extra five pounds of fat, you'll be lumpier than with five pounds more muscle. A five pound pile of fat will take up more space (volume) than a five pound…

Good morning ladies. It was a beautiful afternoon yesterday so I took my five year old and my grandson outside to play. It sure is alot more fun being 66 pounds lighter. I also bought a bathing suit to hang downstairs where I work out for inspiration. I did Hip Hop Abs Total Body Burn today and it's nice out again so I'm…

I can't tell you how very much I appreciate all of your hard work. Withdrawl doesn't even BEGIN to explain what I was going through....You're the best:flowerforyou:

I seem to have found the solution to my problem. I was in a rut. :frown: I decided to up my calories from 1200 to 1400 and also change up my exercise. I've lost 5 pounds in the past two weeks and five more inches too. :bigsmile: I am still taking weekends off from routine exercise. I'm gonna stick with Hip Hop Abs for a…

I am a firm believer in first thing in the morning weigh-ins. Everything that you do or eat or drink during the day affects your weight and unless you eat, drink and exercise the same way every day, you won't be able to judge your progress as efficiently. Just my two cents:smile:

Hi ladies. Today is my day off from regular exercise but I still got my fair share. I stacked a face cord of firewood, cleaned out the garage & played baseball with my five year old. It's a nice sunny day in Upstate New York.

Made this for lunch today.....Yum!

Although I have been taking weekends off, the rain stopped for awhile this morning so I went outside & did an hour of yard work and earned myself 500 calories according to my HR Monitor. We have a lot of downed limbs and I broke up some snow so it would GO AWAY. Have a nice weekend all. See you on Monday:love:

There's only ONE thing that's better than one post from Banks & that's two-or three-or four! :drinker:

I decided to get up and kick the world in the butt today! It's only 7:30 and I've already exercised for an hour & done all of my regular morning chores. Gonna shower & dress & head out for groceries. TGIF:drinker:

Good morning all. I'm so boring when I post but I like my DVD's. Did Hip Hop Abs again. I started on Tuesday, switching from the Biggest Loser Cardio Max and I can honestly say I'm glad I did. Not that I didn't like BL-I LOVE THEM but after 12 weeks, my body was adapting & I needed to switch things up a little. My Abs are…

Good Morning all. The temp has dipped once again-65 yesterday and 34 today. I am sooo ready for spring to be here. I didi Hip Hop Abs Total Body Burn again today and will hit the Bowflex later for some upper body work. Happy Hump Day!:drinker:

I have the Hip Hop Abs series. The Total Body Burn is a good workout but they do have mat work at the end.

Happy April Fool's Day:flowerforyou: I've decided to go back to Hip Hop Abs Total Body Burn for a month or so. I did the Biggest Loser DVD's for 12 weeks and lost 14 pounds & tons of inches but I'm bored. I found that I am more able to keep up with Shaun on the Video this time around. It's supposed to hit 62 today so I'm…

Hmmm-I got the same readings one day last week so I'm not sure what the difference is. I do push myself pretty hard and I've done them for so long that I know what's coming and keep working through Jilians chatter and the breaks between the sections. It works out to about 500 for the Cardio and 300 for the Sculpt. The name…

Happy Monday everyone. I I took the weekend off from both exercise and calorie logging. The scale didn't budge so I guess I can relax a little. Taking time off still makes me nervous. I did 35 min of Power Sculpt and 35 of Cardio Max. My heart rate monitor says I burned over 800 calories. We got to go for a walk around the…

My ex-husband's wife calling me a "skinny b#tch"! We are really good friends but it still made me feel GREAT!

Good afternoon all! Woke up to yet MORE SNOW here in New York! Enough already....I could just cry:cry: I did my Biggest Loser 30 minute sculpt and 30 minute Cardio today. I need to find another DVD that I like. Been doing the BL for 11 weeks now. I love the results, but the boredom is creeping in. Everyone have a great…

Well I guess since everyone else in my house has been ill-it's my turn. I woke in the middle of the night with a pounding headache and then this morning with a "funny" tummy. I pushed myself through 30 minutes of cardio and then threw in the towel & gonna take it easy the rest of the day. I weighed myself this morning and…

Morning all! Sticking with my Biggest Loser DVD's. 30 minutes sculpting & 30 minutes Cardio Max for a total of 900 calories burned-YIPEE!

I have been doing the Biggest Loser Cardio Max DVD for 10 weeks now. I just started using a heart rate monitor today. Previously, I used a figure of 350 calories burned each day that I did the full 50 minutes and added that to my caloric intake for the day. With the monitor, I never reached my max heartrate but at the end…

Hi ladies! Hope everyone had a great Easter. I took the weekend off from both exercise and logging my food. We had a crazy weekend here with two birthdays and Easter in the mix so I was super busy. I ate well and got plenty of unstructured exercise. In the spirit of being realistic, my goal will be to lose 8 pounds. One a…
