I do kickboxing and I have seen people of all shapes and sizes, and at different fitness levels there. That's why I feel you can't be too fat for kickboxing. The only difficulty can be your fitness level, which improves only when it's challenged. Do the best you can and be regular and you will keep getting better. My…

That's awesome! And in just 3 weeks! Congrats

Resistance band workouts and modifications. This really helps during traveling and gym close days!

Hehe! I wish I could give some helpful suggestions but I guess I have the same problem. Any advice in this regard will be greatly appreciated!

Hi Ladies...seems like it's getting too difficult for me to catch up with the challenge and report in. I am preparing for my presentation and it takes all my time. I do try to put in exercises but this week I could not do anything for the challenge. I am going to be very irregular till 11th August but then I get back. In…

Ok somehow the picture is too big but I guess you can at least see half of it :-)

I am inquisitive about Chalean extreme. I have used some turbo jam dvds from the library and love it! And from what I have read around, seems like CLX is good for strength and toning. Can I do this dvd workout with just resistance bands of varying intensity? I will be traveling a lot so at the moment dumbbells are not the…

Rocking body by Shaun T. I tried it once when I was visiting a friend who has it and LOVED it!

I am in too!!

Weigh in : 125 lbs. Jen...I think most of it will be water weight. One week of low sodium and you should see a difference. And by the way, your profile pic is lovely!! Where is that? It looks like an amazing place!

I don't think I have ever seen frozen berries. Would have to check it out. Fresh berries don't really stay fresh for a lot of days! So had to rush to finish them! Chocolate is a must for me. Personally I can't take the vanilla shake....

7/2 - exercises done - under sodium 7/3 - exercises done - under sodium 7/4 - exercises done - under sodium 7/5 - no exercises - over sodium 7/6 - exercises done - under sodium 7/7 - no exercises - over sodium I thought I needed some stretching today...so I just did a long stretch workout. The spreadsheet works perfectly…

Mine is exactly the same but with fresh berries and chocolate whey protein powder (1/2 scoop). That's about 250-300 calories depending on how much fruit I add. I like how everything blends in together and the combined taste.

Thank You Jen and welcome back :-) seems like you have been traveling a lot of fun places!! I did tell my friends and they said they will let me know when they can join. One of them is in the middle of moving so things are pretty hectic with her. 7/2 - exercises done - under sodium 7/3 - exercises done - under sodium 7/4 -…

I liked the points and the spreadsheets. Water and calorie intake accountability really helps too. But I liked the exercises as well. It would be nice if we did one muscle group a day exercise. You know, back one day, abs one day. I am not an expert but I have read it's good to work one muscle group a day. I am good with…

Congrats!!!! Goodluck with the next goal!

Thanks Libby!! I have a couple of friends who might be interested in doing this with us. Do you and others think they can join along with us? Will spreadsheet be a problem, Jen??? If not, would Belinda mind if I copy the exercise and give them in some private group? I think the exercises and challenges are really good and…

I have been told that number of times too, but that doesn't mean I quit trying, now does that? My favorite quote nowadays is "Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time." Also, it's not just about losing weight but having a healthy lifestyle. When you eat…

Sorry ladies, I have been away for a while. Grad life is taking its toll over me and I am finding it hard to stay on track and keep motivated! Hence I was very demotivated to exercise and log in and track food! But Kguiste....after reading how busy you are, my reasons just sound like excuses!! Jen...good to see you got rid…

No I don't track spices....are there any Indian spices more than 10-20 calories? Actually I assume that the calories the food database has takes into account everything. I also do not track instant coffee and water. And I know I probably should, but I do not track Indian pickles and chutneys, if I have any!

Join a weight loss challenge on MFP. Though my diet isn't "perfect" yet, and I struggle with it but I am so dedicated to exercising now. Since I joined many challenges and some of them are team challenges, I was motivated to reach the challenge goal of the day or burn more calories because they mean more miles for the…

Ahhh I had the same thing 10 months ago and I was so frustrated. I found some workouts on youtube where you could workout on a chair. More like kickboxing...punches etc. You can add hand weights to the workout,1lb-2lb and it will be really good. Recumbent stationary bike is good. Belly dancing if you can stand. Cycling…
