My mom is a vegetarian, and I tend to make fun of her for it. It's all in good fun, but I support her decision and she looks great, so who the heck cares! I am not a vegetarian, but I will often go out to dinner and decide that I am just in the mood for a veggie burger (I think they often taste better and don't sit as…

Make a flourless chocolate cake! They are gluten free, delicious, and so rich you'll really only be able to eat a little bit! They're great with fresh raspberries (which ARE good for you!) and a little ice cream, but no icing makes them a littllllle bit less sugary. Hope that helps :)

I actually purchased mine through Amazon, but apparently the F6 model is discontinued? I'd definitely recommend the Polar HRMs though, I used this throughout my entire weight loss journey and it helped me to lose 50 pounds, not to mention it's nice to be as accurate as possible on your calories in/out!

Here is my breakdown for Just Dance 2 for Monday and Tuesday: - Monday - 445 calories burned for 55 minutes of play - Tuesday - 526 calories burned for 62 minutes of play I'm finding that I really enjoy Just Sweat mode as opposed to dancing the Non-stop Shuffle. I like to pick the songs I dance to and when I dance to them.…

Ah, I'm afraid of P90x lol...also I don't really have a door where I can see the TV to hang a pull-up bar in, so I'd be kinda screwed on that part :( I'll try Jillian's videos, I just wasn't much of a fan of the Shred afterwards, it got really booorinng.

Whaaat are you doing to get so toned and fit looking? I'm terribly flabby and haaaate iiiit! Share your secrets, you look super fab!!!

Just Dance 2 is the bomb!!! I'm also using it, it hasn't even been a week though so I'm letting everyone know the results eventually. So far the calorie burn is GREAT! I am using regular hand weights for toning exercises though. And chair squats, lots and lots of chair squats lol

I have a 10x10 square in my living room that I dance in, it's really NOT that much space and I only take up about 4 feet when I dance. You pretty much stand in one spot and do the dance moves, some of them require a little bit of footwork but it's not an outrageous movement that requires a ton of space :)

I feel ya on this one...before I made my lifestyle change I weighed myself and didn't like what I saw, I was at my heaviest ever!!! So I made a change and feel a lot better, though I still have my fat feeling days! My suggestion is to buy yourself a scale, weigh something you know the weight of (like a hand weight) and…

I like EatBetterAmerica.com for healthier versions of your favorite recipes!

I would say try to do one really good cardio workout, and then eat back enough calories so that you aren't hungry anymore by the end of the day, and then just call this weekend a lesson and move on! That is what I do, if I cheat, I whoop myself the next day with a good cardio workout, and then I just eat like I normally…

I am definitely in this category...I'm 5'4" and currently weigh 138-140lbs (depending on the day) and I've just now thrown myself back into the workout/calorie counting routine. I got a little too cocky once I hit maintenance mode and just slacked on the exercise and ate whatever I wanted, and I gained back almost 10…

Here's today's breakdown of calories burned doing Just Dance 2 for Wii: - Sunday - 538 calories burned for 60 minutes of play My Polar F6 has also told me that 35% of what I burned was fat, though I'm not entirely sure how it would know that? Anyone who is an expert on the Polar F6 should tell me what this means lol

Thanks so much for the feedback guys! Based on your recommendations I added 1 scoop of protein powder with 8 oz water for a post-workout recovery snack. I usually have a snack around this time of day anyway, so I figured I would replace it with the protein drink. Turns out the vanilla is delish mixed with water, I can't…

Oh they definitely do! This game blows my Wii Fit Plus right out of the water, especially for calorie burn!

Amanda, I am totally the same way! I get obsessed and I have to get 5 stars on the songs lol

I'd like to join in! LexiStepps Current Weight: 138.8 lbs Goal Weight: 130.0 lbs

Carrots (you did say no GREEN veggies!) they're kinda sweet, yummy, and great with light ranch! Mmmmm! Also, dipping any veggies in hummus makes them seem so decadent and delish!

I'm looking at the ingredients...it contains colostrum! Mmmm? LOL

Looking to start this up again soon! Our anniversary is on the 12th of September, and my husband will be out of town so we are going to a concert on the 24th. I bought a SUPER short, SUPER clingy little sweater dress to wear and MUST be "shredded" so that I can wear it without feeling not so great in it :grumble: Let's get…

Thank god lol I was HOPING it was for dry pasta, but since they don't clarify that on the box I overanalyze and, well...haha. Thanks :bigsmile:

L3D5 done yesterday, on to Day 6 tonight! Is it really almost over? Am I REALLY almost done???

L3D4 done today! Getting a little bit easier to do some of this stuff, and not burning as many calories. That certainly wasn't due to lack of effort, I worked my booty off! Literally! :laugh: Loving this workout...loving it even more that I'm almost DONE! hahaha

I agree 100% with everything Jax said lol. I have posted something along the lines of what you were describing, OP. In my Weight Loss Journey photos, I posted my before picture and said something along the lines of "Here I was at 180 pounds, my heaviest ever and so out of shape." (I am paraphrasing here, I don't remember…

Did L3D2 yesterday...I've started doing it at night after my little one is in bed. I used to do it during naptime, and then it ate up all of my Mommy time during naptime, so I switched it up a bit lol I am loving Level 3 still, I really feel it working. The rock stars jumps are easier, because I practiced them in the pool…

I totally agree on the Sumo Squats...I was like "Pfffft, Jillian is going soft on us here." I definitely spoke too soon lol. Going to do L3D2 in a few!

Thanks! :) I am really proud of myself, though I'm having to watch what I eat since I've been cheating a LOT lately!

Phew! Did Level 3 today, and let me tell you...easier than Level 2. Seriously. The rock star jumps BLOW, but everything else was easy enough to do, and actually way more fun than allllllllll of the crazy plank moves from L2! If you are on Level 2 and are terrified that Level 3 will kick your booty, don't stress yourself…

I actually did hit what I like to refer to as a mini plateau...I'm not sure that it actually qualifies as one, since it was only a week or two long and it was during that TOM, so I'm not sure if I plateaued or just bloated lol. But I did change things, I upped my calories from 1200 to 1400, and that seems to have helped a…

Oh you are way too sweet lol...I'm still flabby, certainly not in shape. Still flabby, just smaller :laugh: But thank you, that totally made my night :blushing:
