My husband had the same issue. This is what he learned from his trainer at the gym. It is becuase those muscles arent really developed enough from lack of previous excersize. There is a machine at the gym or you can even do this at home. At home: stand on stairs on your toes at the end of the step. You want to lift up and…

May I ask what part of So. Oregon. I am here too.

Brittney from a season or two ago was only eating 500 calories a day. Jillian made her bump it up to Minimum of 1400. So yes, they eat more than 1200 calories a day. Don't know who assumed that one. BTW: Erik from season 1, gained ALL of his weight back plus.

I run 2 miles every morning starting out @ 5.0 with 1.0 incline. By the time I hit 2 miles I have bummed it up to 5.3 and 2.0 or 3.0 incline. I usually burn 320 cal. in 23 minutes. That is about right. If you belong to a gym, ask a trainer what machine you can do to burn more in less time. I like to get the biggest bang…

I bought some Honey nut cheerios. 120 calories. I did not know about the banana nut. Will definitely look for those next time. Thanks

Good for you. It gets easier the older your kids get. If they are young it's nice to have a supportive husband. Then, he can go after you get back until he registers them.

Go to www.foodnetwork.com, type tofu in the search engine, you will get over 2,000 recipes with tofu.

I have a bigbowl that I make the salad in, usually having the shredded carrots and cucumbers in seperate bowl already to go. My kids do not all like the same thing. Them the salad is already cut and mixed. I have 1/2 head of iceberg lettuce, 1 green leaf lettuce, kale and spinach. Then all you need to do is throw it in the…

Stress is another factor that could delay weight loss. If you are not sleeping and with the situation that happened, even if you do not feel very stress you still could be.

Very neat. I had a hysterectomy 2 years ago for the same issue. I also had adnomyosis, which is something they really can not detect enless they go in there. The deal with endometriosis is that is can come and go, but I also had to live my life around my periods, which lasted 10 days every 14 days. Good luck to you.

I have two favorite snacks. The Atkins peanut butter cups, the other one is sugar free pudding with lite cool whip fro a can. The pudding w/ cool whip cup adds to 90 calories which is fewer than the peanut butter cups.

This is why you need to tell yourself that you are worth it, because you really are. If you are being told other wise, that is not OK!!! I would also suggest counceling. You can never really get over the issue till you find the root cause of it. Then you can begin the healing process and move on.

Doing your sit-ups after your cardio is best. Your heart rate is pumping and you can in the long run burn calories better.

Hang in there. It will catch up. Make sure if you are working out hard, that you are getting enough calories. This is why it is also called the dreaded week two. More than not people have that issue even me, I gained 3 lbs. Week three, those 3 lbs fell right back off again. Have faith, it's hard not to get discouraged. I…

Well put. Jillian and Bob are amazing.

McDonalds? You should watch "Super size me" ICK!!!

Good luck to you. I will looking for your success. Even if you fall off the wagon. EVERY day is a new day. I struggle too. Come week three it got much easier for me. Hang in there.

Same thing. I gained 3 lbs. back. Now I am on week 3 and it's peeling off all the sudden. It's almost like My weight is a week behind from my work-outs and needs time to catch up. You'll get there.

Nice

Hey fitness chick. So looking at your ticker. Have you lost 209lbs since August "08. Incredible. How did you stay on track. I fall off the wagon at least once a week. I have lately been doing dailey doubles at the gym though.

This happens to me too. I thought it was me. I also lossened my shoes till they felt almost untied. That helped also.
