Curious---is there a "knock-off" Lumen? Something else that does the same thing, but a lot less $$$$$ ???

I've been using 5 min workouts

You go to your skills settings and select health & exercise (something like that, anyway) and scroll through or ask. Then you enable the workouts you are interested in. Looking for input on workouts that are working for ALEXA users and what's not working...and how have you designed your routine?

I wish I would have done this fitness calendar years ago! I haven't missed a single workout, adn each day I give myself a "star" for completion...I just have it in me that I have to get that star each day!

Very cool! Very creative! (I'm such a simple girl...I just plugged mine into Microsoft Outlook Calendar...mine's a little boring to look at..so thank you for the idea)! :)

I love the idea of doing the on-line calendar! I was thinking about doinig something like that too. Do you reward yourself if you do well that month, or do you find just seeing how well you did is reward enough?

Day 1-3031points, 5001 steps

I was reading last night that Dr. Oz says you need to step on the scale everyday, to regain control of yourself. So, to scale or not to scale?? That is the question.

I'm in! But which Dr. Oz challenge are you following?

I'm in! Funny..I was just thinking about the need to do this! Thanks for the challenge! :)

PS: I can't wait to buy some Stevia and make some lemonade!!!

Great info..good start for me. I'll tell you what...journaling is the only wy to go. I thik I found on eof my culprits! My new panini grill...yikes I journaled my sandwich....geez-o!!! Now I'm starting to get a better picture of where I was going wrong! Please keep the tips coming!!!! Looking for some great treats to…

So how does Stevia affect your metabolism? I understand you shouldn't do artificial sweeteners, because of the chemicals, but also because of the low to no calories, because the body gets use to not needing to burn much when those items are consumed; therefore, when you splurge on a piece of chocolate cake the metabolism…

Where did you get the DVD? Does anyone k now if it's on sale somewhere???

HOORAY!!!! I get to start at Week 3!!! I'll get right on that...tomorrow! LOL!!! :)

Thanks MzBug, I do notice that, to a certain degree...you have to really listen to her and be sure you're adjusting your body correctly. But that goes with anyone's workout regimen really. And when you do videos at home, you're always on your own to try to really fix your bosy positioning. :) I still love it, and am…

Kaffro, It's got to be muscel gain, because I've gained weight too, and yet my clothes fit just fine?????????????

I don't beleive in eating Fast Food, and rarely ever do,,,serioulsy....and that was before I saw Supersize me or Food, Inc. If you haven't seen them, I encourage you to do so. Food, Inc, was on Instant Play for Netflix not to long ago...maybe Supersize Me is too? Both just super-reinforced my feelings on processed stuff,…

Me neither! And now my boss is expecting our staff to work there as a fundraiser...but I am so completely, morally against it! Definitely a rock & hard place situation.
