You can do it! Just log every bite, even if you go over, it helps to visualize where and when you are making bad or good choices, so you can fix it! Welcome!

I'm in! Thanks for the challenge! I havn't done a 30 day video in over 6 months, its going to be killer!

when I wore a heart monitor to Zumba I wold burn 600-700 calories in a 1 hour class. It was awesome, I had to give up my membership to the gym, for cost reasons, and I miss it SOOOO much.

You need a hobby..scrapbooking, reading, sewing, even organizing to fill your time instead of tv and eating. I do NOT turn on my tv. I found that sitting around made me want to snack and made me tired. Focus on something extra, maybe housecleaning deeply one room a day, and go for walks, join a MOPS group this fall, it's a…

I have sent my kids to private, then HOMESCHOOL then public. We have a top ranked public school. I think if you do it right there is NO DOUBT. Educationally, home hook is the best. That is if you really work hard. A child can move on when they are ready, and take extra time when they need it, not just move along at schools…

Awesome job!

All news is biased ALL. You are only getting opinion on any network. Angelina is weird. That is MY opinion. I don't like her, never have.

I wear a HRM I burn 500 in a 50 min class. I have a higher heart rate than average bc of meds I am on though...

I sat at the same weight for 8 weeks. I have finally lost 1.5 lbs, but that has taken 2 weeks. I am eating a little more, and have backed off exercising. Next week I'm back at it and I hope to see a more rapid weight loss again. It's called reset or refeed. Not sure about the science of it I am NOT an expert. Just an idea…

Any dog not leashed scares the crap out of me. One of the main reasons I don't run outside.

My son has celiac, diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was 2 years old. He's 9 now, and if he accidentally gets gluten, he is in complete misery! Stomach pain and vomitting. I went Gluten free as well when he was diagnosed, and was 3 months pregnant,. I only gained 18 pounds that preg. With my 4 others I averaged 28. We…

I think Paula is great. She can cook and eat how she chooses. She will and s paying the consequence of her actions, just like anyone who CHOOSES To cook her food. I know thin people with type 2 diabetes as well as fat, so some of it is genetic or whatever.

Keifer smoothie (i like strawberry) 1 banana a little spinach....mmmmm so good!

I try to mix it up, I do ripped in 30, I go to boot camp classes, circuit, and zumba, try to throw in arc trainer or elliptical too. I will do bodyrocktv too if I can't get to the gym. Netflix has some yoga that I try, and some kickboxing, it's pretty mild but it gets a sweat going.

I'm in I have 8 to 12 pounds to lose, after 5 kids, the stomach could really use some tone!

Truly inspiring! Keep up the great work!

You do this forever...that's why you don't go to an extreme on your "diet". It's a lifestyle change, everything in moderation.

There are some 15 to 20 minute workouts that really help you keep a little muscle...I would recommend doing them a few times a week so you don't have muscle loss, but you definitely can start losing without exercis.

Add t3 hormone to your wu throid...it's really working for me. I also exercise 4 days a weeknand log every bite to stay under calories. You can do this!

I have 5 kids too, we eat a lot of veggies, and plain meat...it's really simple. I make at least one soup a week, we like chilli, chicken tortilla, a Or broccoli cheese, which work great for leftovers as well. I do make potatoes, but I just skip them. We still eat pizza, just in moderation. Well ave a salad first, and just…

I would love to wear a bikini, but my stretch marks after 5 kids won't go away no matter how much weight I lose... I think I'll buy clothes I feel sexy in. Not skanky, classy sexy.

I save calories and eat ice cream every night, Well most nights. I think it's a lifestyle change not a diet. I plan to eat ice cream and other sweets, but just not as much as I used to. I used to snack all day, now I save my treats for after my kids go to bed. It's TOM. Right now, so I've snacked a little more than I…

Awesome! You did so amazing!

Mine are the same as all of yours except running part, I can't. I also would add, try to be less harsh to my children, I tend to snap at them without realizing that my words can be more hurtful than intended.

Keep moving stretching, it will just take time. Drink a lot of water. Tomorrow when you get ip take ibuprofen and get your body moving even though it will hurt to loosen up a bit. Been there, and it can be pretty miserable, but it will go away eventually!

This will be hard for me, but I'm in. Does elliptical count?

You feel stupid at first, but after a few times it gets to be a lot more fun.

Depending on instructor and how hard you go at it you can burn 700 calories an hour....I think I burn about 400 in a 45 min. Class. I just got a heart rate monitor, so I'll find out Tuesday!

Wow. You guys have a cheap membership. Mine is 112 a month. That is a sigle membership at 72, and two kids daycare for up to 2 hours a day.

Think positive! You SAW yourself, so now you are doing something! YouCAN. Do this! I am so proud of you for acknowledging it! That is a huge step!!!
