You are amazing!!! I had a simular motivatioin.....My father had 3 brother and now there is only one of my uncles left and his mother died in jan.....Jan 4 was my 31st birthday and I attended a double funneral (my grandmother and uncle)....I thought about how my uncle that is left needs to stop being such a waste and take…

round 2 Week 1 day 7....It is awesome......I am hoping to get that washboard stomach this time.....No reason to stop after just 90 days.....People keep telling me how great I look everywhere I go!!!!

I finally told myself there is no excuse........To quote nike....just do it....every damn day.....And some day down the road you will start to like it....I never thought I would but hey when your start getting loose....it is awesome.

I don't know that it doesn't matter to me I wear a HRM and enter time and calories

I sure wish my hubby would have done this prior to marriage.......and many other things...he wouldn't have made the either..

one cup of unpopped corn is much more then one cup popped....and I know no one who would eat it unpopped

It sounds like you have reached not time to diet but it is time to learn to live again.......I reached that point this pasted Jan. it was my 31st birthday and I spent it at a double funneral.....My father's family my grandmother and uncle...My father had 3 brothers and now I one uncl left and I thought about how he wasn't…

Italian seasoning, garlic, and olive oil cooking spray......I like buying fresh veggies and baking them in the oven for 15-20 minutes at 350

I workout 7 days a week....I just take it easier once a week so instead of my exercise video I just walk some....I guess it is a mindset thing I think if allow myself to not then I will start telling myself it is ok on other days....and I also fell better when I exercise.

yes start off slow...but once you have 10 new pounds of muscle your body will burn a pound a week extra without doing anything....It will burn 500 ca extra a day....and with exercise it will get easier to loose weight.

That is really cool....I love all the new exercise things that don't take up a lot of space.

get a Heart rate monitor....walmart has them for $27...not the greatest ones but they work fine....log as just rowing or something...you can makeup your own name if you want

track everything.....fruit can be higher in calories and sugar then you think...I try to eat 5 veggies a day and no more then 2 fruits a day and also I go for 5 proteins a day (p90x)...I denote this in the food diary notes....It really helps and the other thing is try to eat as many colors of fruits and veggies a day as…

p90x....hand weights and a chin-up bar

I love making minestrone....I have never put blackedeye pea in but it couldn't hurt...... chicken strock 2 cans of beans....I usually use black beans and chick peas 1 can of peas 1 can of Italian green beans carrot ( canned or otherwise) 1 can of Italian tomatoes a jar of spigheti sauce 2-3 serving of a small whole wheat…

It will be ok.....I really love taking walks especially at night when it has cooled down and it is so peaceful....I wear a HRM so I can track calories and hopefully in 4 months or so you can do P90X.....As far as the diet...Honestly I think it is better to loose as much of the weight before starting to tone things up.

I have recently discovered hummus...I like the rosted red pepper with special K Multi-grain cracker...The crackers are kinda sweet and the hummus is salty....The only thing is I have to pack it in my lunch or I will eat the whole container of hummus.

I read somewhere that starvation mode is eating less then half the calories your body needs to function.....So admittedly I don't all my exercise calories but I doi eat more then half my total.......You will se if you try that eating the right kind of calories makes your burn work better to burn fat....If you don't think…

Yes me too I am not walking when it is under freezing...I know what a wimp...

Yes lots of veggies with dinner and drink water before and during your meal.......Oh and if you have to have 2nds strap on the heart Monitor and walk off atleast half of seconds calories.

I do I have two dogs (1 1/2 yrs ans 10 1/2 yrs)...I take the puppy around my subdivision once before stopping to get the 'old man' overwise the pup drags the other one...both are boxer mixes....It is good for me and them and if my son is home he comes too. It is very nice and my dogs are much happier for it....Sometimes…

So today sucks.....Tomorrow is a new day......Why not try walking some to burn off some of those calories and just remember the new life your are making for yourself is a daily process the important thing is not quit over one bad day....You can do it....It is ok to have bad days once in a while.

yes start tomorrow and don't allow a "not today".....today is the day...

Use your monitor just the same as running....I always use my HRM anytime I exercise no matter what kind of exercise it is....so I can enter it on here.

I try to limit fruit because it is high in sugar (natural or not) I eat no more then 2 servings a day.....just try to cut back on carbs. Oh and admittedly I still am over on it if I don't pay attention....It is all a joggling act.....

For your butt lots of sqauts and hey I do crunch even sometimes even at stop light in the car you could do that in your seat at work.....Maybe buy one of those big exercise balls to sit on...also I walk as much as possible...can you talk 15 minutes and go for a walk...I love walking at night...it is so much cooler.

Protein is ok and fiber also both are good and actually help keep you full and moving smoothly....It is fine....also I track sugar too....not easy to stay where you need to be but I try to as close as possible.

how about jumping rope

I don't know how much you are going over....I always do to but I reset my settings for now to 40 ( I was eating like 55)....I am trying to cut down...It isn't easy....Many foods have sugar in them and fruit is really high in it so I can usually only eat i serving of fruit, I hope once I get used to 40 maybe I go 35, then…

After power 90 and p90x, my stomach still droops a bit....I really hope it is possible and maybe if I had not waited 7 yrs to try to make it go away.....I am just keeping on trying...Oh the boobs...I had a bathing suit that I wore in college that I loved.....It fits everywhere but there...good luck
