Anything from Cathe Friedrich (www.cathe.com)

Cathe Friedrich (www.cathe.com), Michelle Dozois, or Turbofire

Cathe Friedrich is my absolute favorite (www.cathe.com). She has awesome strength training and cardio DVDs. I also really like Turbofire. Other favorites of mine are Jeanette Jenkins and Michelle Dozois. I work out at home 5-6 days/wk and have done so for years now. It's just more convenient for me to work out at home and…

Cathe Friedrich has awesome high intensity cardio workouts at www.cathe.com.

I never pay.

Step is still my favorite form of cardio. I do it at least once per week. Most of the step workouts I do are Cathe Friedrich's...love her!

Cathe Friedrich is awesome! She has a large variety of strength training DVDs. Check her out at: www.cathe.com

I agree that you're probably retaining water. I always retain water after exercise which is why I only weigh after my rest day. Weigh once per week after you've taken a day off from exercise.

Same here :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Your changes sound like a step in the right direction, but HIIT shouldn't be done daily, so incorporating HIIT is excellent for burning fat while preserving muscle, but do it every other day, no more that 3 times per week. Also, I still recommend eating back all of your exercise calories if you have a reliable way to…

Eat back your exercise calories. The best way to preserve your muscle is to make sure your body has enough fuel so that it doesn't have to use muscle for energy. If you're not eating back your exercise calories, you may be creating too large of a deficit which prevents your body from being able to replenish it's glycogen…

If you are unable to do weighted leg work, then do it without the weights. Pilates and Barre workouts offer excellent leg conditioning without weights.

Chobani is the bomb! My favorites are pinapple, apple cinnamon, and pear. Brown Cow Greek yogurt is a pretty good brand of Greek yogurt too. I really don't like Dannon/Oikos compared to Chobani and Brown Cow.

Another vote for Cathe Friedrich! She is awesome!

I married a job jumper and it was extremely stressful. He eventually got to a point where he just stopped working all together which caused our separation. We're divorced now. I realize now that he switched jobs so frequently because he really didn't want to work. At first, he would leave one and go right to another, but…

I work full-time and am a single mom of 3 boys. I get up at 5am to workout. That's the only time that I can do it consistently because, as you know, evenings can get a little hectic and I just don't have the focus or energy for a workout in the evening. I workout 5-6 days/week.

I never see stuff like that in my newsfeed. My MFP friends are hard workers. All I see is kick-butt workouts. Maybe you need some new MFP friends.

My favorite yoga DVD is Power Yoga by Jeanette Jenkins. You can get it at www.collagevideo.com or www.thehollywoodtrainer.com

Sexalean. What was her mother thinking?

I love Turbofire. It's so much fun. I do it on my cardio days. I lift weight weights, but on my cardio days, Turbofire is among my choices for cardio.

Could be a sign that your metabolism has dropped. If you've lost weight by taking your calories lower than you should have, that may have caused your metabolism to decrease. You should have your thyroid checked. Being cold all the time is one of the symptoms of low thyroid function.

I only count plain water.

I had my three at 24, 26, and 28. I never wanted to have children after I turned 30. I wanted to be a young, energetic mom and still be in my forties when I was done raising children. I know now that that was the right decision for me. When I babysit my neices and nephews, I definitely don't have the same energy I had in…

Cathe Friedrich has some of the best workout DVDs on the market. You can find them at www.cathe.com. I also really like Jeanette Jenkins and Turbofire. www.collagevideo.com is another good site to check out.

I kept it so that I'd continue to have that same last name as my children. It was important to them.
