We've always called baby pacifiers.. plugs. Just a family thing.

I got 60 mins in tonight. Didn't do that great on water today.. sucking on cough drops... makes water taste :sick: I finaly got caught up on the posts... welcome to all the new gals and congrats to everyone on their cardio minutes!

Monday cardio - 60 mins. ugg, my shins were hurting so I had to slow down to 3 mph and use weights to keep my heart rate up... what ever works (got my water in too)

When I searched the database a while back to add my red potato.. there were several choices, some by weight. I've kept my scale handy to that I know exactly what percentage of a portion to add.

Chalk up 80 mins of cardio for me today :) I got new running shoes.. What a difference! Have a great night all and a heart healthy week.

75 min. of cardio for me today :) I try to get a few extra minutes in during the weekend when I have time. Have a great weekend everyone.

Good Morning amannisto, would you like us to post our cardio (or what ever the weekly challenge is) every day, or on Friday of each week? What is eaiser for you... there are a lot of us! That is a good thing!!

Thanks for the encouragement!

Weekly check in... On the up side, I drank all my water every day 8-12 cups I weighed in this afternoon for our Biggest Loser Club at school. I was only down 1/2 lb. Hopefully next week will have better results. Congrats to all who have had success this week.

I love it that I need to wear a belt.... not just to make an outfit look good. Our bodies are changing! Yeah!

Good Morning, There are a number of things to consider.. your starting weight, the speed at which you are working out and your over all health. I started walking on the treadmill 3 weeks ago. (225 start weight, no ACL in left knee) At first, I couldn't go more than 2.8 mph and constantly thought of reasons to stop before…

I agree, 4 lbs. is great for a first week, especially with no exercise. I know it is frustrating when you know you have a long way to go, but the weight didn't go on over night and will not leave without a fight. Keep fighting!!!

Count me in.. pegm Start weight 225 Current weight 218 4 week goal weight 206 Additional goal - cardio 4x's a week/45 min

The nutrition info. I listed is for 1/4 of the pizza :) I huge slice all to myself!!

I found these the last time I went grocery shopping. Tonight I cooked the roasted garlic chicken pizza and another name brand chicken pesto pizza (family of 5.. 3 teenagers). My family prefered the Lean Cuisine! It sereves 4, has 270 calories and 7g of fat... not bad at all.. hurray for pizza night!!!

I wondered the same thing a while back. (I live in Wisconsin) You can go to the link below ... search for show shoveling and enter your weight ect. Happy shoveling :) http://www.fitday.com/webfit/exerciseinfopage.html

Way to go!!! It sounds like you are doing it the right way... consistant. Keep up the great work!

You sound like me... We have 3 teenage daughters. We also go to Sam's about twice a month and regular grocery shopping once a week. We average $200-250 a week. All 5 of us pack lunches, plus have lots of teenagers in our home. We wouldn't have it any other way... we get to know them AND see what they are doing :) Created…

It might have been last season.. it's all a blur! I'm going to keep adding it to my routine to see if it makes a difference. It feels a little funny because you are walking on your toes and balls of your feet more.

I saw them do this on Biggest Loser because it uses different sets of muscles. I tried it today after my normal 60 min workout. (Had my hubby standing by incase I wiped out!) You have to keep your hands on the bars for support... I could really feel the burn in my quads! Has anyone else tried this? I could only go 2mph...…

I have this same problem. I searched online for more information. Right now my food profile allows 47 grams, most websites said a minimum of 50-60, some said more than that. I agree with the comments stating that it is better to be over in protein and under in fat and carbs (especially if you are working out).

I have several Richard Simmons toning videos. The tone and stretch is better at getting my heart rate up and is a whole body workout. Is anyone familiar with these and how would your record them? I'm thinking the tone and stretch could be counted as a low impact aerobics, but the other ones might fall under…
