Mississauga, ON here...feel free to add me...

Amazing!! What a fabulous change you made! Inspiring!

If the 30 Day Shred is too hard, Jillian Michaels also has beginner videos, Frontside and Backside, that are a little easier but still get you going in the right direction...

41 here and trying to get back into shape... fitting in some exercise between errands with 2 kids and work, and logging calories most days... Feel free to add me if you want...

Good for you!! I added you if you want... I am in my early 40s too and trying to get back into shape...enjoy workouts once I have started, but have to squeeze them in as I can with 2 kiddies and work...

Well, on a weekday my workouts are at 6 a.m. in my house for 30-50 min.. I am short, and I don't have a heart rate monitor but by weight/age and speed, a slow run (I'm still slow) for 40 min might only burn 311 calories for me. Elliptical around the same... I do eat back my calories, but don't count my regular activities
-
I like that one too!! Also other Jillian ones, the6 week 6 pack, and the No More Trouble Zones for a longer 50 min workout... Jillian's Banish Fat Boost Metabolism, and Ripped in 30 too...I like variety...get bored with the same one... And I have KAthy Smith's Abs video for quick 10 min abs (4 different workouts) when it's…

Well, I've more than 10 to lose, but 10 by the end of spring would be a good start... Height 5'2" SW 151 CW 142 GW 125 (we'll see after that) I am 41, a busy mom of 2, try to exercise when I can with videos at 6 a.m. and jogging...some weights with videos in my basement... I can't live on 1200, I've set my goal to 1500 and…

These are awesome...I've only lost 9 pounds (it says less, but this is 9 pounds that I had gained back and a few more last year, sigh...) and am still in the same sizes, but at least they are fitting me now without feeling like I need to get bigger ones soon! I still want to get to the next lower size, but at least it's a…

true! Love it... We are having a snow day here, too, but I am exercising inside!
-
Day 2 no alcohol here :) ... I know what you mean about eating and drinking together... Tonight we had some snacks, but a healthier version (skinny sticks) and shared a bag and I had tea which was also relaxing... I forget about that when I am in drinking wine mode... I am trying to examine why I am drinking...enjoying the…

Good for you!!

Ok, I've been wanting to cut back a lot and I think I will go for quitting for February...Lisa, I'm with you, it's my vice and a bad habit of relaxing after the girls (mine are 7 and 9) go to bed and after a day of teaching Grade 2's...plus all the other stresses life brings these days... a few glasses of wine that started…
-
a "habit of" not have of...
-
I don't usually quote, but this has been my go to relaxation method with 2 girls 7 and 9, my own teaching job and other life stresses the last few years, a have of wine has been growing... and although I joke about "needing" the wine, I'm going to try to cut back a lot. I don't over drink/get hangovers, etc, but it's just…
-
Awesome!!
-
Cool!! You give me hope!
-
I'm not great at it either...I am home in the evening but helping with homework and my husband gets home late (8 or later) many days and by then I am exhasuted. If my 2 girls don't have too much homework I can slip in 20-30 min elliptical machine or video in the basement...but mostly I have to do more on the weekends and a…
-
Not sure, I have it too, between second and third toes...I have pain all the time walking. I'm going back to the doctor, but until then, I bought new runners from New Balance (wide widths) and one of their fancy insoles that has the metatarsal support in it to help...it did help enough that I can now run/walk on that foot…

Congratulations!! You look great!! So motivating!!
-
You guys are too funny! Mississauga here...just far enough away from Toronto drama :) .

yep, I'm in Canada and Old Navy has all active wear on sale...last year I got a good deal on some great winter running tops that would have cost a lot more elsewhere... Walmart also has an activewear line, not as good I think, but for the $ worth it
-
I'm 5"2 and a little older...After 2 kiddies I'll be happy getting back to 120 and being able to keep it off (I'm up to 141 right now, I was down to 136 in the fall and I get back ten pounds (down 5 of them)...Even at 120 I was an 8 (or 10) on the bottom, I am bigger down there, so maybe I should go lower but I just can't…
-
I actually have a Jilliian Michaels for beginner video...it is Frontside Interval Training with 6 intervals she does...I like it a lot and although the moves are not hard compared to her usual speed, etc., my legs are always sore from the squats the next day...basically it does 30 seconds cardio followed by 2 muscle groups…

I have also done running to Madonna's Confessions On A Dance Floor album for a long time... and I have a lot of the recent ones you have listed...
-
I just caused myself a bad lower back flare up (spasming all week, couldn't move the first night in bed at all, needed Robaxacet), and I just read that an elliptical can be bad for certain people that have a tendency to lower back issues, I didn't catch the details, something to do with disc issues. Apparently you are more…

I found 2 long sleeve running shirts at Old Navy (Canada) yesterday for $14 together...amazing deal I thought! I was running at 32 (0 in Canada, lol) with layers yetserday too and I was hot! I had a regular running cap I wear in the summer, but if it gets colder I switch to a light winter hat. I had a short sleeve running…
