Wow! Almost everyone mentioned Cinnamon Toast Crunch. My kids love that one. A few years ago I tried VECTOR .... it was like eating a bowl of scrap metal - painful. I can't even remember the taste. ^^ you need to say this with a little more oomph ... Theeey're grrrreat!!!! :laugh:

oops, forgot about checking in Goal Weight for 03/31/2012 - 138 lbs Weigh In Dates: Thursday 3/1 - 143 Monday 3/5 - 143 Monday 3/12 - 141.9 Monday 3/19 Monday 3/26 Friday 3/31

I also love this dvd. :heart: I think it's Jillian's toughest and most thorough full body workout - but I would never do it everyday .... some cardio on alternate days would give the muscles time to recover and avoid injury. BFBM is great all cardio (no weights) workout that could be alternated with NMTZ.

Thank you for starting this thread! I've noticed a lot of members with the same (April) goal weight as me - high 130's ... please friend me!:flowerforyou: MFP Name: Shaz_74 Real Name: Shazeeda Goal Weight for 03/31/2012: 138 Weigh In Dates: Thursday 3/1 -- 143 Monday 3/5 Monday 3/12 Monday 3/19 Monday 3/26 Friday 3/31

5 lbs gone would be sweet. Current weight is 143 ... starting April in the 130's would make me one happy camper. Realistically, I'll probably only lose 3.

I noticed that too! OP are you pregnant? Also, I don't see any exercise calories logged ... so on a day when you ate around 1300cals, you might have burned 300-400 in exercise and only had a NET intake of 900-1000 cals ..... WAAYYY too low. Log your exercise calories and eat back at least half of them to fuel your workouts.

What is that scale they're using in the video? I want one!

If you're leaning forward too much this could be causing the problem. Try sitting back in a semi-squat position so that your weight is in your heels. Push through your heels to work your glutes and the back of your legs. This should also take the pressure off the top of your foot. I love love love :heart: my elliptical.…

Butt Bible folks, here's another great (20min) lower body workout you might enjoy: Buns of Envy http://youtu.be/Liy4VCMs91k

This has been my experience as well. I previously lost about 20+ lbs by exercising like a maniac - basically 80% exercise and only 20% (minor) changes in diet .... of course I couldn't keep it up - as I became more fit, I had to do longer more intense exercise sessions - I burned out and the weight came back with a…

Believe it or not - 30DS is not the only workout dvd out there :) Check out this YouTube channel for a variety of 10-20min workouts that are low impact but still effective. http://www.youtube.com/user/BeFit/videos You can start with just 10 mins/day and as your fitness level improves, string together a couple of workouts.…

This type of marinade works well with salmon too!:love:

Wow! That's great! What did you eat for the day? I've got a week off work starting on the 23rd, so I'm posting my Attack Phase until then.

You look amazing! Great job!

Thank you for starting this! :smile: I've added my stats.

Sensible and straight forward. I like it! :flowerforyou:

Slow & Heavy is a completely different beast than Pure Strength .... but after all those high rep weeks, it might be a good idea. Otherwise you could repeat the 4DS week .... I'm a Cathe fan, but only have her Body Blast Series and a few other workouts. You'll get better, more informed answers by posting on Cathe's forum:…

That's a great way of putting things in perspective. :flowerforyou:

Be patient. It won't be like this forever. Once your youngest starts school, you'll have a lot of time for yourself, I promise. Start training your boys from now to be helpful and independent. The 5yr old can keep his brother busy while you get in a quick workout. Buy them some 1 lb weights and they can exercise with you.…

Turbo Jam is fabulous! I have all of the dvds + the weighted gloves. Start with the "Learn & Burn" workout. It teaches you the 11 moves and their names - that makes all the other workouts much easier to catch on to .... otherwise you might just look at Chalene and think "huh?" LOL I've never done the program as written. I…

Kelly Coffey Meyer has a whole series of workouts called "30 Minutes to Fitness" (http://www.coffeyfit.com/catalog/) she packs a lot into a short time. I also like Jari Love's workouts. You can try one on YouTube: http://youtu.be/7wIu_suiCVw I buy all my workout dvds from www.totalfitnessdvds.com

I've tried watching t.v. but I tend to slow down to concentrate on the show LOL I love these guided cardio workouts from: http://www.cardiocoach.com/ ... they make the time fly by and get me to work a lot harder than I normally would just listening to my own music. The music and challenges (intervals) are perfectly suited…

You look amazing! Can you give an example of what your 2000 cals consists of?.... I mean what's a typical day's worth of food.

A lot of great suggestions so far! You could also try splitting your dinner and eating the other half after your workout.
