  • No worries. I did have a pretty active son in my womb and he is almost 3 and is still very active. Sometimes, I wonder if he is hyper, but I know that he has attention span enough to do what he wants to do (i.e. watch Barney or the Wiggles) without jumping from one thing to the other. I think that a lot of time, people…
  • Hello Tina, I am in a similar boat. I have an almost 3 year old son that keeps me very busy. My household consists of my son, his father/my bf, and myself. I work full time as an administrative assistant, I go to school full time for IT - Software Engineering. So I am pretty busy and pretty exhausted. I did manage to lose…
  • I have a BodyBugg...which is owned by BodyMedia so it's the same product, just different name (I suppose they got it branded differently to be associated with 24 hour fitness and the Biggest Loser. Well, I used it for a while and now have found it to be a little inaccurate. I also went and purchased a Polar HR monitor…
  • I'm in. 2 - 55 Minute Workouts!! 2 Liters of Water No eating after dinner - unless I'm super starving and I'll have just a protein shake. Log all of my food intake! :) Let's get it!
  • Hello All, Thanks for the challenge. I didn't fail miserably but things got complicated as I tried to complete everything. So here goes.. Goals: Get in 2 - 45 minute cardio workouts! - DONE! I wanted to do my second workout when I got home from work, but my son would not let me work out...he kept trying to run into my legs…
  • Hello! Congratulations on your weight loss thus far. I am/was a plus size girl as well. I am have found clothes at torrid. They tend to be more fashionable than lane bryant and I'm sure you'll like the styles there. They're comparable to what the thin girls wear. Problem is that no matter where you go an 18 pretty much is…
  • Hello Everyone, Glad to be doing this challenge with you. Here are my goals for today: Get in 2 - 45 minute cardio workouts! Drink 2 Liters of water! (I drank 1 yesterday so I am doubling it) Log all of my food intake! Get at least 6 hours of sleep! Happy Wednesday!:wink:
  • Hello there, I completely know how you feel and can sympathize with yours situation. The only difference between you and I is that my boyfriend (son's father) works at night but he goes in around 7pm and gets home around 4-5am. I go to school. You're lucky though that you are able to stay home. I work during the day and he…
  • This is great! I'm in!
  • Hello there. I have the Walden Farms Guilt Free Dressings...I have to say that I do not like the honey mustard like I thought I would. But I do like the Creamy Bacon Ranch (and I normally don't like ranch dressing)....I think it is well worth it...if not the next best thing is fat free zesty italian usually ranging from…
  • Also Turbo Jam Fat Burning Elite is great if you love TJ and want more variety to your turbo jam workouts. With Turbo Fire I do burn the most calories. :)
  • I'm going to go against the grain and say Turbo Fire...I love Turbo Fire...the extreme cardio is intense and Cardio is the best way to blast stubborn fat. That's what I'm doing. After that, I'll be on to do the hybrid workout combining Turbo Fire and ChaLean Extreme for maximum results.
  • I agree with crking...I think you will be happier with your results from ChaLean Extreme. It sounds like more of what you are looking for. Let me know if you have any other questions.
  • Hello, I am a coach. P90X is more strength training and less cardio but offers different plans for doing the dvds so that if you are wanting to get lean then you will add the cardio dvds more into your rotation than if you are just wanting to get ripped. It really depends on what it is you are looking for and what you want…
  • I tried this and it is very low cal and tastes great! Saute the chicken in salsa mixed with 10oz of diet pepsi max with lime! It is soooo yummy. Just cook until the chicken is done...most of the liquid will cook down. Serve over white or brown rice or pasta of your choice. :)
  • Hey there! I'm trying to lose another 60lbs or so as well. I've already lost close to 30. But still have like 64 to go to reach my first goal. I'll be your buddy. Just add me as a friend. I know people who are vegetarians and I think that the hardest struggle for you will be obtaining enough protein in your diet to remain…
  • Your results are amazing. You look great and look at how much definition you now have in your abs and back! Awesome job! I'm currently doing P90X mixed with Insanity and Turbo Jam. The weight is coming off pretty steady now. In June will be another round of Insanity. Oh boy. I can't wait until I can look as great as your…
  • Oh ok...then definitely lean meats are the way to go...lean turkey breast, chicken breast, etc. Fish is another great source. I love to add beans to my foods/salads as well and I'm learning to put sliced almonds on my salads or just eat them by themselves. :)
  • OH ok...I get ya. You may just be better off with nuts, beans, and other types of lean meats and eggs....I'm not sure what your dietary preferences are (are you vegetarian/vegan, etc.).
  • I know what you mean...I'm very quickly becoming addicted to this site. I just signed up yesterday and like you I keep hitting the refresh button so that I can see any/all comments. LOL.. Sorry to hear about your accident. I hope you recover soon.
  • Hi there...muscle milk is lactose free and has 32g of protein. It tastes great and they have many flavors.
  • Hi Kevin, Well you shouldn't completely deprive yourself. If you do, that's an almost guarantee for failure. Remember you can do all things but in moderations...just mind your calorie goals and if you go over, don't sweat it, just work out harder and longer. Also, practice calorie budgeting. For example if your calorie…
  • Hi, Well I have only had them for less than a week so far. So I'll have to get back to you on that one LOL. But really, from the time I put them on I felt it in my calves as I walked out of the mall with them on. I got the running ones and wish I would have gotten the walking ones. The runners (although more professional…
  • Hello, There are several things that come into play. I'll share my thoughts with you. The first thing is that when people engage in physical activity and if it is strenuous enough, then they may gain weight instead of lose or they may stay the same. Why? Well, if your muscles get shocked by this new activity, to protect…
  • Hello, I personally passed on the sketchers shape ups because they were ugly and I thoguht they looked like I needed a lift because I had short legs or something. LOL:laugh: So I opted for the new Reebok Easy Tones (they already had the walking shoes out but I got the newest version the runners). They are black and look…
  • Hello, I'm 5' 2.5" and 223lbs, I usually burn between 500-800 calories per day (I will have more accurate calorie numbers once my bodybugg comes in)....I currently eat anywhere between 1500-1900 calories per day depending on the exercise that I do and I am consistently losing about 2-3lbs per week. :) I've lost close to…
  • I found a website where you get these little water bottles that you can attach to your wrists. A classmate of mine designed the website for the company. I am not a runner, but I thought it was a cool idea.
  • I understand. Wasn't aware...but I'm not trying to sell to these people...but I just want to put it out there that you might get ripped off if you purchase these things anywhere else but through beachbody. I've been burned and so have other people that I know. Thanks for the heads up.
  • I totally agree with HealthyChoices2. I am a coach and saying it up front, but I am not being biased because of it. My goal isn't really to make much money, my goal is to help people get fit as I do the same and to help people avoid the same mistakes I/my dad's wife made with their purchases. I wanted a discount and being…
  • Hi there, I just came across another guy who had the similar issue he saw them advertised on craigslist for cheap. I'm going to tell you the same thing I told him...buyer beware. Yes, they are new in box but somehow people are duplicating them...including the meal plans and charts and all. Trust me. It happened to me and…
