I also feel like I am not getting a good workout unless I am breathing heavy and hard. It just doesn't feel like I am doing anything for me.... Thanks for the replies.

I have the Post Pregnancy workout dvd by Tracy Anderson and I love it. I have 3 kids BUT I definitely would recommend this dvd to someone who has never had kids. She is very quiet so she isn't good at "queing" when to change moves. However after you have done the dvd once or twice you won't need t lo listen to her. Now I…

You can't spot reduce. However, with that said I have a dvd called Tracy Anderson Post Pregnancy workout and it has a ton of ab work. She is crappy at "queing" when to change moves because she is soooo quiet. However, if you do this workout 2-3 times you won't need to listen to her after that. It is pretty basic and I…

Sounds delicious--I need to try. Thanks!

^^^this...I am 5' 1" as well and I am currently 129-130 lbs. Anyone close to this height range---feel free to "friend" me. I am still somewhat new to "friending." It is nice to have "friends" who are around the same height range as you. I always feel like such a shortie:laugh: .

I was wondering this too since I am so close to my goal...Is walking to lose weight more for heavier people compared to someone who has less to lose? I am currently doing Chalean Extreme for toning. Some days I will do a Leslie Sansone dvd and walk anywhere between 3-5 miles. However, I am wondering how effective it is…

I love her dvds. I have had BFBM since it came out and I still find it challenging. It took me awhile to be able to get through the whole workout without stopping. Now I can---and sometimes after circuit 7 I will go back to the main menu and add an extra circuit or two for the extra challenge. I love her 30 DS. When I…

I love 30 DS. It is sooo versatile. I have had it for a long time and it still gives me a good workout. If it stops being challenging to you there are sooo many things you can do to switch it ip. How? Well sometimes I will do all 3 levels back to back. You can also go back and do the whole 30 DS again---but up your…

I second her Banish Fat Boost Metabolism dvd. It took me awhile to be able to get through the whole dvd. If you have time you can do the whole dvd or if you only have a little time you can break it up into sections. It will definitely get your heart rate up and make you sweat.

I am curious as to how many calories this burns...Someone try it and tell me:laugh: . I am exhausted--- as I did 78 minutes of exercise today. Chalene Extreme kicked my butt:smile: .

I am fairly new to MFP. Feel free to add me. I am a SAHM to 3 kids---4 years old and under. I am looking to lose around 10 more pounds. I am 5' 1

I guess it is more of a couple stories about her... I used to work at the airport---Customer Service. She came up to the counter where there was 2 of us checking in people and giving out boarding passes. She decided she didn't want to wait behind everyone else checking in and she BUTTED in front of about 7-8 people. My…

1.) Viggo Mortenesen (Aragon on LOTR) 2.) Thurl Bailey 3.) John Stockton 4.) Jeff Hornacek 5.) Adam West (multiple times) 6.) Jamie Lee Curtis (she is NOT pleasant) Boy, do I have a story about her:grumble: . 7.) Montel Williams (before he retired from his talk show) 8.) Carrot Top (yes, he is that creepy in real life) I…

bump. I am curious about the apps too.

I am doing this now. I love it!

One of our cats refuses to drink out of his water dish. He dips his paw into the water dish and then licks his paw to get the water. He also bites unpeeled bananas---so we have to hide them. Our other cat will lay behind you on the top of the couch and put his paws around your neck like he is hugging you. He will sleep…

In High School, I always skipped breakfast and lunch because I was afraid of getting "big." What finally scared me into eating more was my Health Class. We started talking about eating disorders and the teacher said that "if you don't eat enough food, your body will start eating away your muscles---which could include the…

That's how I felt the first time I tried it. Now I LOVE it and wish I hadn't given up on it so fast. I am kicking myself thinking how much stronger and more tone I would be if I hadn't quit it so fast. I would've been close to finished and getting ready for round 2 if I had stuck with it---but since I quit I am now just…

I LOVE chocolate too. I just bought this and had it tonight: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Weight-Watchers-Dark-Chocolate-Raspberry-Ice-Cream-Bar-1.75-fl-oz/15716651 AND it was delicious:love: . Only 80 calories!

The real "pushing" factor for me was the fact that I hated my appearance in pictures and how uncomfortable and self conscious I felt around my husband naked. Granted, I have only lost 9 lbs. so far---but my self esteem has skyrocketed. I feel so much more confident and comfortable in my skin :smile: . I guess those 9 lbs…

What about No More Trouble Zones? That is a good one too. I have almost ALL of her dvds and the one I always had the most difficulty with is her PURE cardio dvd Banish Fat Boost Metabolism. It took me quite awhile to be able to get through the whole dvd without stopping....she doesn't even give breaks in it for a drink of…

Log it as circuit training. Without a HRM that would be the closest estimate...

I love Jillian Michaels. Her Banish Fat Boost Metabolism dvd is very tough. I also like her No More Trouble Zones and 30 Day Shred. You can purchase ALL 3 of those dvds on Amazon for like $24. I aslo love, love, love Chalean Extreme. I find her very motivating. I actually look forward to her workouts.

I could/would NEVER give up chocolate. Everything in moderation:wink: .

I know how you feel. I joined the Monday BEFORE Thanksgiving and I lost 8 lbs in those 2 weeks that month (probably just water weight). However, the LAST 2-3 weeks I keep seeing 130.8, 130.4, 130.2 130.8, 130.0, 130.8....So frustrating to be THIS close out of the 130's. I get my hopes up when I am at 130.0 thinking I will…
