  • skinnytaste.com - her recipes are delicious, healthy and generally do not break the bank to prepare!!!
  • I need to commit!! I think this is causing major issues with my stomach not flattening out and my inability to lose weight! Glad to hear it was such a success for you!! It's great motivation!
  • I highly recommend Jillian Michaels Body Revolution. I did the program last year and it got rid of it (along with a calorie cut on MFP of course!) See my results here: http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/1238702/jm-body-revolution-success-no-more-baby-belly#latest
  • I would aim for a 10k first to build up (that's what I did, personally) but if you follow a training program and progress at a reasonable pace, I think you can do whatever distance you want! Just listen to your body and enjoy the experience! Completing a half marathon doesn't mean killing it - it means completing it - at…
  • Nutritious cereal and 1% milk. I love Oatmeal Squares, Total, Puffins, etc.
  • Anything Jillian Michaels! I recommend the Body Revolution program and I've just started Body Shred (which is awesome). If you're just starting out, I would stay go with Body Revolution first - I feel like Body Shred starts at a higher level (kind of where BR ends). Her 30 Day Shred and Ripped in 30 videos are great as…
  • Just purchased it and planning to start on Monday! I've completed Body Revolution twice and LOVED IT.
  • I'm a full time working mom as well and lost 30 lbs. (and tons of inches) with Jillian Michaels Body Revolution. For 90 days, I got up 30 minutes early, did the program and modified my diet. It was awesome and didn't take up my lunch breaks or evenings.
  • The first phase is highly aerobic and uses body weight resistance only. The second phase begins with weights. I personally enjoy the "setup" of Jillian Michaels Body Revolution better than T25. T25 seemed really jumpy and so fast that I felt like I had a hard time maintaining form. Also, I can't handle Shaun T. - that man…
  • It's only 30 minutes - which is so awesome. I got up at 5:15am (little one always got me up at that time anyway!) and he played with his toys while I worked out. I wasn't super crazy about my eating habits either. I'm eating healthier but I still enjoy pizza, beer, etc. for a treat :)
  • Thank you :) I'm 10 months PP now. I started the program at 7 months :)
  • Total - it's delicious and 100% whole grain! It's like Raisin Bran but without all of the sugar. You can dump your own raisins in it and have a yummy breakfast!
  • I'm on Week 8 Workouts 7 and 8 and I love it! 15 lbs. down so far and 4 inches off my midsection. Everywhere else is toning up nicely too! Definitely been a HUGE help in finally getting rid of the post-baby body.
  • Hi! I'm 9 weeks PP and ready to get rid of this pooch! I'm starting back with the Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred program. I had really great results with that before I got pregnant and you can get great results with not much time commitment each day! I'm also doing the BeFitMom Bounce Back Fast ab program to help repair my…
  • 9+1 today and due on June 3rd! 2nd pregnancy and I'm already switching to my old maternity pants because while I can button my normal jeans, they are NOT comfortable by the end of the day! No major symptoms (YAY) so looking foward to smooth sailing to the 2nd trimester. We're planning on telling family this week. Don't…
  • *Turkey Reuben on Pita: Whole grain pita pocket, deli sliced turkey, 1 slice reduced fat swiss cheese, sauerkraut and fat free thousand isalnd dressing. Zap the whole thing in the microwave until the cheese melts *Egg Salad Salad: Homemade Egg Salad (2 eggs, 1 tbsp. dijon, 1 tbsp. mayo w/ olive oil, salad cubes and a dash…
  • These were my results - I thought the program was great! Good luck!!! 8.7 lbs. lost 2 inches off bust 2.5 inches off belly button 2 inches off natural waist 0.5 inches off my hips 1 inch off each of my thighs 2 inches off each of my biceps
  • I'm on the last day of the Shred today and I'm really happy with the results. I haven't taken my final measurements or weight, but I already know I've lost inches because I'm able to fit in some shorts that were super tight in May! Also, I can tell that I am a lot stronger and my legs and arms are toning up nicely! I'd say…
  • When I hurt my back (herniated disc), I definitely had to go to the doctor. But, with that being said, there wasn't much they could do but help with pain management until my body healed itself. I agree with LoraF83 - stick with the ice. Don't do any exercises that cause pressure on your back (running, jumping, etc.) and be…
  • awesome NSVs - WTG!! :)
  • I'm with you! 30 yrs. old and TTC #2 - going on 8 months now! Definitely frustrating the second time around so I'm focusing my energy on losing some leftover baby weight and gaining muscle. I'm doing acupuncture as well. Just started fertility acupuncture last month, but I've been going for over a year now and I LOVE IT!…
  • Check out this thread (at the top - red push pin article) on EMTWL. It's a great explanation of TDEE and the timeframe you need to devote to resetting your metabolism if you've been eating way below your BMR for a period of time.…
  • Totally agree about Level 3. Just did Day 1 last night and thought it was going to kill me. Seriously - travelling push-ups?? But I do love all of the plank moves - my abs were sore this morning. Can't wait to finish the other 9 days - this level should seriously whip me into shape!
  • Halfway through - 15 days in and on Level 2 day 6 tonight. I'm really happy with the results so far. Keep going ladies - this workout is great!
  • I had a large herniation at L4-L5 last year that was miserable. I was in so much pain. The first orthopedic doc jumped straight to surgery and I told him no. So he sent me to PT while I sought a second opinion. The second orthopedic doc said to keep up with the PT and he didn't see a reason for surgery right now if I could…
  • I have the same problem. I just became a big fan of egg salad over lettuce with roasted red peppers. Right under 300 calories and very little carbs. I use 2 hard boiled eggs, 1 TBSP of Kraft Mayo w/ Olive Oil, 1 TSP of spicy mustard, 1 tsp of salad cubes and a dash of cayenne. Mix together and put on top of shredded…
  • Starting Level 2 today! Lost 4 lbs. and 4.5 inches with Level 1. I definitely have a love/hate relationship with Jillian. Love the results I get - hate her when she tells me to keep going and I feel like falling over! :)
  • Agreed! My body doesn't like 1200 calories (and neither do I!) so nothing was happening for me. I upped my calories to at least my BMR each day and I'm losing - and I feel wonderful!
  • I actually just finished the program and ran my first 5K on March 10th. I thought I would never make it but it was awesome! The program really works!! And I have to say that running the event was easier than practice because of all of the motivation and support from other runners and the "crowd" that day. I ended up doing…
