Me and a co-worker started using it this week. My sister-n-law has lost 28 lbs on this since Feb. I am using it to cut back and get myself back into cutting my calories. I use it 2 meals a day and eat a sensible dinner with the family. I run and am starting marathon training, so protein is important. I am not snacking and…

The per-menopause stage has hit me this summer. The hot flashes at night come and go and then there is that Power surge that cones out of no where. I have gained weight, mostly because my sleep has suffered (yet another side effect) I run. I run half marathons but I sure have been slacking because i cant get up at 5:45 to…

WTG Lauren!!!! I run my first in 3 weeks, and looking to train again for a local half fall race. We have had really cool temp for training, hear Nashville is always HOT. I have told myself if I do the fall half with less whining, then I will do the Blue Ridge Marathon next spring!! Suppose to be the hardest, next to the CA…

This was perfect timing. i am going for my consultation on Wednesday. Going to do the 30 day challenge on Paleo and start out at 2x a week. I am really interested in the weight lifting and they have a women's only class on Saturdays. Hope to work up to being able to take that class. I have gotten bored with the gym routine…

I am on the same page. The Y wants me to pay a personal trainer to show me how to use them. Honestly, none look they use them themselves. I wish i had a answer for you. I read the book new weightlifting rules for women and I cant commit to do it all by myself. Not sure of the correct form, no accountability.

my boss loves it, I hear that if you get into it you absolutely LOVE it. I need to lift weights - heavy weights. I cant find anyone to do it with me, or find good instructions at the Y I plan to do the 30 day challenge at cross fit in November I need to lose 20 lbs and I know weight lifting will make that happen. Good LUCK

1. Did you split amicably - yes 2. Did you kill each other during the process - NO - we have kids we cant be bitter. We co-parent excellently 3. Was the divorce due to cheating - yes - HIM 4. Do you regret your decision - NO 5. Did you keep your married name? Nope - remarried dropped my maiden name and my x name - neither…

I color mine, luckily my hair dresser is a childhood friend and after a few mixes, we got the color right to what it once was before children. My husband who is 10 years old and grey, tells me Im silly. My son is only 12, too young for his mom to be grey. I may dye my hair up to the end. My Nanny is 83 and she is a fire…

WTG, You are doing great!!

As you can see, it is possible to be smaller. How much smaller? that depends on you, what you want your body to look like and how hard you want to work. Concentrate on healthy and active. You will surprise yourself on how much you can do. Small steps, changing up your diet and walking or aerobic exercise 3 times a week. As…

Not I, those young guys are just not on the same page in the book called life. My husband is 10 years older, his children are around my kids age. If he had adult children, I am not sure we would be married, just in 2 different chapters of life. You just keep looking, there are some gals out there for you ....

:) oops "older" ; he is just over 50

not a thing wrong with HOT older men, my husband is 10 years old and very HOT!~~~~ 52" shoulders and 36" wait !!!

At a home HS football game, my husband's friend (female) comes up and says, "Wow you lost a lot of weight" looks at my husband and says "i bet you're a happy man " eluding to our sex life. While standing in the stands on the 50 yard line. WTH really !!!! We are both over 40 (he is over 50) - 2nd marriage. Only 3 years in.…

I gave up my Polar HRM. It was making me stress over calories burned. I used it for about 6 months.

That is great - and WOW a 100 lbs you go girl, i bet you do look like a new person!!

Meet oo - id add Magnum TA to that list and the Anderson boys!

Good for you!!! Keep working hard!! Well Done

1.) How old are your children and how many do you have? (share names if you wish) Age 24 - Daughter Hallie - 16 (almost 17) Age 28 -Son - Michael - 12 2.) Will you be planning to have more kids in your future? NOPE 3.) How was your pregnancy/delivery? all vaginal births with drugs 4.) When do you fit in time to exercise?…

I have read that its about 100 calories per mile. As stated earlier the more efficient you get at running the less you burn. Which it is great to be fit but really sucks if your trying to lose weight, when you get to that point - how much and what you eat become a BIG factor!!! I'm stuck at the body being more efficient…

i had 80 now Im down 56 - and I am a good bit older than you - so if I can so can you! You will have good days and bad days!! You will eat good and bad stuff!! The goal is to have more good healthy meals than bad!!! Change your habits and dont beat yourself up when you get off track. Just step back up and try again!! Slow…

I LOVE BASEBALL!!!

Hell I would love to have either of those figures!!!! You have done an amazing job!!!! You look fabulous!
