300 calories is about I what I usually spend on breakfast so maybe you can have breakfast for dinner? I eat every three hours (5 mini meals) and divide them pretty evenly among my 1450 calories. I'm never hungry, have great energy and feel very satisfied. I personally don't eat my exercise calories (but it seems most on…

Good morning BL Challengers! Last night I did the BL Power Sculpt. I decided to add level 3 (for the first time). OMG!!! Bob kicks butt! Most of his exercises don't even include weights just holding lunges, squats, planks, etc. I had sweat pouring off me. My HRM said I burnt 430 calories so I was happy! I got on the…

Not true per Snopes... http://www.snopes.com/medical/toxins/petbottles.asp

Laughing Cow is AWESOME. I get it at Safeway. :bigsmile:

I'm in! I do BL Weightloss Yoga, every other morning (I change it out with Pilates, not BL), and then in the evenings trade off between BL Cardio Max and BL Power Sculpt. I'm loving it. Usually when I'm done with the Power Sculpt I'll do about 1/2 hour on the treadmill for some additional cardio. Power Sculpt and cardio is…

Me too....married three years this summer! :love: :heart: :drinker:

Actually, sometimes it really is that simple! It's not always that EASY, but simple, yes! I like it! :drinker:

Me too. I usually do Pilates or Yoga in the morning and then alternate between cardio and weight training in the evening. I use an HRM and depending on the day, my energey, etc. I never know exactly how many calories I'm going to burn until I actually do it. I eat 1450 calories regardless of whether I work out or not so I…

I have been there! Maybe if you can prepare and plan your meals/exercise that will give you a sense of control over one portion of your life. Most things are out of our control but it feels good to sit down look at your week and plan menus, grocery lists and prelog what you will eat. Then when things go haywire, you're…

I love Flax Seed! I'm still working on my husband. I just had my mid-morning snack of quinoa with 2 tablesppons of flax seed, a little salt and pepper and 3 oz of shrimp. It's great! I bought the portable packs so I have them with me in my purse so I can add them to my salads/soups, etc. when eating out. LOVE LOVE LOVE…

I have the 30-day shred too but currently am doing the BL Cardio Blast, BL Weight Loss Yoga (every morning) and alternating the Blast with the BL Power Sculpt. I LOVE :heart: their DVD's! I recommend them without hesitation! :flowerforyou:

That sounds horrible!:sick: I don't even know how you could do it for 20 days. Wow, dedication I guess. Glad you've been successful and are healthy!

The boys couldn't handle it! :bigsmile:

OH yes, much better! :tongue: I'm so sick at looking at those stretch marks!

Well I went...but I'm all alone! :sad:

Love Wendy's and their online nutrition calculator. I just was not in the mood to brown bag it yesterday so looked them up online yesterday and ended up having a large chili, it was delicious and kept me right on track for my calories. All restaurants but especially fast food need to get on the band wagon...I think they…

I have a Polar F6 and I love it. It's nice to know exactly how many calories without guessing. Great for DVD's and such that are hard to calculate. I just did BL Cardio Max and burned 330 calories! Yippee for me! :drinker: I don't think you can go wrong with F4 or F6, just depends on what you need and how many $$ you want…

I started my day with BL Yoga for weightloss and had a great breakfast of egg whites, salsa and some lean steak, yum! :bigsmile:

Welcome! :flowerforyou: There are some awesome recipes on this site as well as: www.cookinglight.com www.eatingwell.com Just to get you started! :bigsmile:

I know I would...I'm not there...YET! :drinker:

Believe it or not what works best for me is 50% protein, 30% fat, and 20% carbs. Jillian Michaels, 6 week body makeover, and other programs out there have a very scientific way to determine what will work best for your body type. It has made a huge difference for me. I had to go back and recalculate and discovered I was…

Yes, I would say, more protein and you are probably not eating enough.

Absolutely, no gym necessary! Do all three levels back to back...if you're up to it! hee hee hee :bigsmile:

Really? I must have skills, I'm sure I've done both! :blushing:

I also have the Polar F6 but I bought a small. The website listed the different sizes and the dimensions they fit. I'm not sure where you purchased yours. I'm not sure if you can purchase a chest strap separately. You might check out their website and/or call their customer service number. Seems like you should be able to.…

This is beautiful. This is why I LOVE to cook. I find it very therapeutic and I too love to find new healthy recipes and share them with friends and family. Seeing their reactions to something so healthy is so rewarding! I don't know about giving up anything, :noway: I'm not there yet but it does make sense. Now that I…

Love that! :flowerforyou:

I'm reading this right now and nearly peed my pants reading the ad she placed on Craigslist for their recumbent bike. :laugh: She's funny! All my coworkers (who don't have ANY weight issues) keep asking what I'm reading and some have asked if they can read it when I'm done. For some reason I'm not thinking it would be…

Yes, this is the same info my trainer (when I had one!) gave me!
