have you atually lost wieght like this? i've thought about just trying to make everything more of an effort (think ankle weights, walking squats, etc...). you think that would work?

tayla - its nice to know you can really relate. i was thinking maybe i'll put him in the stroller and walk for an hour when i get home and we'll just have to eat a little later. actually, i have to put him in a sling. i forgot we don't have sidewalks. also, i know swimming is a good toning exercise but it's hard to grasp…

i have thought about using him as my 'tool' if you will. the only problem with that is he is a terrible napper at daycare so as soon as he gets home he crashes out for an hour. its convenient for an hour because i can make dinner and clean up a little bit. it just doens't last long enough to give me any real 'work out…

my partner and i have taken a very giant step back. he is not living with me right now. so yes, i am technically single. even when he is there he doesn't come and stay home till at least 9pm so he's no help.......hence the huge step back :smile:

AWWWWEEEEESSSSSSOOOOOMMMMMEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!! that must feel incredible! you've done a hell of a job!!!!!

Hi! I'm a mom of 2 and looking to get my body back. I have a 10 year old girl and a 2.5 month old son. Not sure if I'm gonna make it to 5 - I don't know if I have the patience. How old is your youngest? Are you breast feeding by chance?

this is normal right? it fluctuates right? so how do i know if i weigh 128.5 like it said the other day or if i weigh 130 like it said today? my ticker shows that i am 129 which means i lost 2 lbs because thats the weight i was for a few days in a row so i changed it. now the scale says 130 again. should i change my weight…

not sure if its your idea of iron, but i've been on an iron supplement since the begining of my pregnancy. its called Slow Fe. you can get it at any grocery store. i am still taking it postpartum as i've had low iron for as long as i can recall.

ok thanks. i am not diabetic but i thought it was probably wise to watch sugar too as i knowit isn't good to have too much.

there are 2 things i usually eat for breakfast. 1. Maple and Brown Sugar Oatmeal 2. Maple and Brown Sugar mini wheats both of these squash my sugar allowance for the day. what else is high in fiber but doesn't have so much sugar? and is 30 per day rght for sugar? i go over that so easily!!!!!!

Hi All - I need your updates for your progress this week. Here is mine..... # of push ups - I put 7.5 because i can do 15 girly ones but i can only go about 1/2 way down run time - 1 minute ( i can run 1 minute intervals) # of workouts per week - 4 (woohoo for me!!! - though it really could have been more) this totals out…

my arms had been getting worked every day so i figured they need some time off. maybe sunday will just be my down day. it was hard to get motivated today. it was rainy. the baby was being exra demanding. my 10yr old had a friend over and daddy was gone for the day. right when i went to get motivated to get out of the house…

i was going to take today off because i've worked out the past 4 days in a row. i didn't eat great tonight (pizza and ice cream) but i didn't go over my calories. i shouldn't feel guilty about taking 1 night off right? as long as it doesn't lead to a bunch of nights off.... i plan to get right back at it tomorrow. i just…

there is no way i can eat all of the calories it is telling me to. its just not possible. i already ate a little extra with my lunch to try and get them all in and now its dinner time and i could eat but i'm not starving and i still have 1,000 calories to go!!!!! holy goodness!!! i can't eat 1,000 calories after 7:30 at…

wow that was one heck of a workout! i can't ride anywhere near 7 miles! i find that i struggle with working out when its kind of monotonous activity. i need the cardio blast and kickboxing type classes where i'm up and moving and doing different things. i am really bored with getting on the treadmill and elliptical. they…

ok i just went in and compared the calorie difference in the two - circuit training and calisthenics - and they are identical. so i guess either one works. thanks!

I've been doing some of the FIT TV programs but i'm not totally sure how to classify them on the exercise log. does anyone do these shows? i just did cardio blast for an hour but when i picture cardio i picture ellipticals and running. this program was more squats, push ups, bicep curls, leg lifts, lunges, things like…

i enter my workouts as calisthenics. the strnegth training line shows much fewer calories than strength training. let me make sure my definitions are correct - calisthenics - push ups, lunges, crunches, leg lifts, squats, etc.... strength training - bicep curls, tricep curls, etc.... things with weight added right??????…

hey guys - hows your workouts goin? i am struggling wit the push ups. i can do them girly style but plank is much harder. got a long way to go with the running too. i am only at 60-90 seconds so far!!!!!

I have a 10 year old daughter , Courtney, and a 9 week old son, Dillon. I tried the push ups and i'm terrible!!! i'm starting girly style just to build up some strength. i am just going to keep trying every day. And FYI - I do 90 minutes of cardio training yesterday. thanks for helping to motivate me.

yeah i love 80's music. I used to out dancing all the time before i got pregnant. i love to twwo step and line dance but i haven't gone in a year since i was preggo. I need to digout my songs and run run run my booty off. i think i need to invest in an ipod. i bet music helps keep you pumped.

rachel - i've beenthinking about my goals all day. i will do them.........i just want, well need, to get pumped up first. i will definitely try the music. i'm just so dang tired lately. its making me drag thru every day. having those goals is something i am looking forward to and i am going to work on them right away. i…

I need some encouraging words to start working out. i've had a bad week and am making it worse by being lazy. also, i'm feeling completely exhausted the last few days so i'm using any excusea available to not work out. :cry:

bump

Sotor and Emma - I have added you. On Monday's everyone should report your progress even if is just a starting point, it will allow us to track our progress weekly. you need to report the following - # of consecutive push ups (all the way down and all the way up) # of minutes ran consistently with 2 minute walk interval (5…

you sound exactly like me!!! don't you wish there were 25 hours in a day!!!!!

consider yourself in. and to add - if any of you need me, or want me to adjust the goals to better meet your abilites just let me know.

i just had a great idea. on the last day of each month i'll post our goal completion stats and whoever wins can set the goals for the next month. that means if you exceed the goals and are the winner by highest % then the rest of us have to attain your goals during the next cycle. let me know if you're on board with…

and all you have to do to join is say so and i'll get you added to the spreadsheet. i've set it up so that when you report in every monday i will drop in your numbers and it will show your % of goal. so, if you work out 3 times a week instead of 4 then i will drop in the 3 times and it will show you at 75% of your goal. if…

I will start an excel spreadsheet with everyones names. Why don't we all check n on Monday's to update where we are at. I'll get the spreadsheet together and see if i can find a way to post it on here. so glad you guys are with me. this is going to be exciting. i am going to get cracking on these goals first thing…
