Unfortunately, yes. But you can help stop the weight obsession from starting in your daughters by incorporating a healthy lifestyle and encouraging them to make smart food choices. Lead by example and show them how to exercise and that it's fun and they will grow up not knowing any different! :) This coming from a 24 year…

I have a 3.5 year old and yes it's hard. I also work 32 hrs/wk at a job where I'm awake for the day at 4am. I struggle with exhaustion on a daily basis but I almost always get my workout in!

I'd love to join...

Gimmick. Eat real, whole, unprocessed foods !

Damn that's unfortunate haha. That's the exact same review I just read online from a different website. So not only do they look like fish, they taste the part too. I'll still try them but I hate fish so I don't know how well this will go lol

Day 6 today! :) Ok, does ab ripper x KILL anyone else's hip flexors or is it just me? The first three or four exercises are so painful there for me. Then again, I also have very tigh hip flexors (and hamstring, which make exercises like pulse ups and etc difficult for me as well lol). I love the ab burn from ARX but damn,…

Little off ...24, almost 25 haha. I look young though for my age. :)

ADDICTED to Lost on Netflix.

We Are The Champions!!

@ emmymay ...friendly, fun!

Nice progress! Back surgery? My hubby has nearly the same scar except his scar is from the cervical spine to the T6ish vertebrae. =/ He had a fusion surgery from t1-t6.

When I left the hospital after having my daughter, I was at over 180 lbs (in 2008). It's been a slow process for me (especially these last 10 lbs) but I'm at 138 now!

Also, an important thing to note is that your body burns more calories AFTER a weight lifting session than it does, say, after a cardio session! :) PLUS, the more muscle you have on your body, the more calories you burn when your body is at rest (i.e., when you're lounging on the couch!). It's a win-win situation, really!…

Thanks! And Mom, fyi :P @ lancemahfouz , cop? @b1delane, beautiful + contagious smile!

@ JessicaRuby, gorgeous! :)

I'm re-reading the Fever series by Karen Marie Moning. Totally recommend it! :)

Awesome everyone! I'm excited! It's easier to stay on track when I've got other people doing the same thing! ;) Is everyone following the nutrition plan? I tried it back in 08' but decided to just healthily instead. I think this time I'm going to try to stick with it though!

Hi there My advice frOm just going over a couple of your recent days is try to cut out the pre packaged foods (ie, cereals, etc) and lean towards whole foods. Oatmeal for breakfast instead, for example

Also, if you look online you can find a TON (hundreds) of CrossFit workouts and you don't have to pay for them. If you have the equipment at home you can do the exercises at home or even at your gym with their equipment. If you have the time to look up the exercises to make sure you're doing the correct form for the…

The closest actual CrossFit gym near me is an hour away . But the gym that I work at offers a CrossFit class (from a CrossFit certified teacher) once a week. I took it for a few sessions (probably 10-15 classes?) and, while I LOVED how short and intense it was, I had to stop taking the class this past session because I…

Thanks everyone !! Cant wait to see where I'll be in another 4 months :)

SAME HERE! I have more pimples now, at 24, than I ever did during my teens. I just blame it on all the sweat I've been doing. I've started using Proactiv and when I am diligent with it, it helps.

I have Shakeology every morning as part of my breakfast. Honestly, I LOVE the taste. Since trying Shakeology, no other protein powder comes anywhere close to tasting as good. But I have heard a lot of people who can't stand the taste! You'd have to try it out to see if you like it or not. Like someone else mentioned, there…

Balsamic vinegar or lemon juice! Yum!

The girls DID shrink! Big time! After my pregnancy my boobs were 38DDD! I'm in 34DD now :) The bra is lululemon! It's been amazing but it's def time to retire it! It's lost it's elasticity and doesn't hold me up the way it used too! I was doing p90x2 and got about 60 days into it before I dropped it (2 weeks ago) to go…

I just got mine in the mail yesterday from Amazon and here's my question: Do you guys manually log your exercise you do or do you find that the BMF accurately calculates the calories burned during the exercise? I wore my HRM for my kickboxing class last night AND my workout @ the gym this afternoon as well as wearing the…

Wow! Thanks everyone!! I have read Harry Potter a dozen times (my #1 fave series!) and Huger Games is a super close second to that! =] I am definitely going to be adding some of these to my to read list! I'm also already a member of goodreads! Great site!

I Have honestly never paid close attention to carbs so this Carb cycling challenge is difficult for us! I never realized how much carbs some foods have! We never ever went over our daily allotted carb amounts because my husband and I aren't huge carb fans in the first place. But I wanted to try cycling to see if it would…
