Where in KY?

I would think that getting better should be your highest priority BUT I don't think that being sick will hamper your loss. I had the exact opposite happen....I have an auto-immune disorder (diagnosed 7/2010) and I was given steroids late summer/early fall 2010 and I am just now getting back to where I was at the beginning…

There's a great instructor from TX who has put her routines on YouTube....you might have to watch them a few times as it's just the routine straight to the song. Her name is Jenny McCormick and her channel name is JennyMcCormick26. I was able to to an hour workout just using her videos and I didn't even use them all. Her…

On the planks do you just hold it for the interval time (i.e. 20 sec)? Then I assume on crunches you would do as many as you could in the interval time......this sounds a lot like what Insanity is based on.

I have the Samsung Captivate and found it and another one (A HIIT Timer) both on the Android market for free.....

This sounds very interesting. Where can I find workouts to follow for this?

Where did you download them and how much were they?

They use the cals, fat, fiber,and now carbs to figure your points. So yes you don't actually see the totals per se.....but by controlling the points, you control those things too. I haven't tried the new PointsPlus program but I lost about 38 lbs in about 16 weeks when my 9 year old was about a year old on one of the older…

I'll have to check this out. I was in a car accident with my husband back in '93 when we were dating and my back really hasn't been the same since. I also have an auto immune disorder that attacks the muscles so anything that will strengthen without being too strenuous would be great. Thanks for posting!

I don't think you could have gained a 1lb of muscle in 11 days......however, it could very well be your muscles holding on to fluids. Keep working out and drinking water and you will flush it out. It is important to keep track of measurements when doing weight work because while you're burning fat you're building…

I don't have MS but can feel for your mom. I have Dermatomyositis. It's ok if you have never heard of it as it is really rare and I have come across general practitioners who have never had a patient with it. My specialist said it's ok to work out and even use light weights but I just don't have the energy. I figured that…

If you don't add anything to it and it's Decaf, I would add it.

There's a lady that does a lot of the Chalene Johnson workouts (Turbo Jam, Turbo Fire) and she has 7 kids (yes I said 7!!!!!!) and she has a stomach to envy. If you go to the Beachbody website and click on Turbo Fire and watch the little ad video they have, I think she's the one with the dark hair and dark blue and black…

I LOVE Turbo Fire! Right now I'm using it to try to get back to being able to do Insanity again (health issues causing me to not be able to workout in a while). I just did on the other day for the first time in months and remembered just how much I LOVE it. It can be challenging but they have someone doing modifications…

WW is a good program to teach you about serving size and what's better for you to eat (ie. healthier foods tend to be lower in points). I did one of the older programs when my now 9 yr old was only 3 months old and I lost about 36/38 lbs in about 16 weeks. I have tried the program right before the Points Plus after having…

I hope to work back up to doing Insanity. I love it too! The auto-immune disorder that I was diagnosed with last year kinda knocked me on my butt in terms of workouts. But I just did a Turbo Fire workout the other day and did ok with it....so hopefully soon.

WOW......lots of responses in the 30 min it took to workout....HaHa! Thanks for all the responses....I have lots to look at. :happy:

I have Turbo Jam and Turbo Fire.....if you've been doing cardio for a while, I would suggest Turbo Fire. It will burn the fat off that you want gone as well as tone the muscles underneath. Due to recent health issues I haven't been able to workout like I would like to, but I have recently received the clearance from my doc…

Play with your numbers. I know from previous experience that I have to eat my workout cals back (due to health issues I'm not working out right now). Try eating them all back for a while and see what happens. If you stall, then try eating back only 3/4, then to 1/2 if that doesn't work. You're in this for the long haul and…

You will just need to play with your numbers. I know from previous experience....I need to eat my exercise cals back (due to health issues I'm not working out right now). Try eating them all for a while and if your progress stalls, drop down to 3/4, then if stall again, go down to 1/2. Make sense? You're in this for the…

Yum-o.....thanks for posting....will have to try!!!

You can't spot reduce....BUT the reverse fly or the move where you sit on a bench with cables and face the cables, then you pull the handles toward your chest with your elbows close to your sides and elbows out at shoulder level (sorry for run on sentence). Both moves would work the back muscles. As far as hips/flanks (in…

That's great to know....I'm a smiley/emoticon addict......LOVE them!!!! I would love to find a place where I could get a bunch!

Sounds great.....thanks for posting!

I'm in Spencer Co so I'm not too far....I've been trying to lose for a while but I have an auto-immune disorder that is making it hard. I have about 40-45 to lose so I have quite a way to go. But I'm plugging through as best as I can....good luck in your journey!

I'm not sure about this BUT I think if you put anything under strength it doesn't add the calories back. That's just to keep track of the reps and weight you use. Like I said, not sure about that......seem to remember reading it somewhere but not sure where.

I would keep the activity level the same and add the extra work. Like someone else said, if you don't do it one day then the numbers would still be correct. If you end up not losing then you could re-evaluate.

I get mine (34F) from Bravissimo in the UK (even though I'm in the US). That's the only place I get my bras both for everyday and sport. www.bravissimo.com

That's why I get the one from Bravissimo.....it's kinda cute and definitely does the job. All Bravissimo's bras are cute......even the ones that go up to a J cup!!!!

Bravissimo.....Bravissimo......Bravissimo (www.bravissimo.com) That is the only place that I get my sport bras and I'm a 34F in a sport bra (32G in a reg everyday bra). I wear the Shock Absorber one and love it. Yes you will pay a little extra to get it to the US from the UK but for me it's worth it. If you wash it on a…
