You are definately NOT ALONE! I have had a horrible week. I don't know what came over me..it started with one day of cheating and turned into 7 days of cheating and half the exercise. I feel horrible too. I have an awful sweet tooth and need to stop bringing the temptations into my house! I am going to do Turbo Jam today…

Ok great. I just wanted to make sure I was entering it correctly. I guess I should get an HRM. They sound like they are very helpful in these cases. Thanks for the input!

Hi.. I am fairly new to Turbo Jam. I've been doing the 20 minute workout. Does anyone have any idea how many calories this may burn. Should I just put it under "aerobics/high impact?" This is what I've been doing but wasn't sure if 177 calories was enough for this intense workout. ANy ideas?

My husband is dragging me there Tuesday night. He is very excited and I am a little reluctant. He seems to think I'll enjoy it. I'll let you know Wednesday. :wink:

Welcome! I have tried many things too and nothing has worked long term. I am so happy to have found this site..it's motivating and so helpful. Best of luck to you!!

That does sound yummy. Wish I could have peanut butter though but I can't...but thanks for the idea!

Thank you all so much. I got some great ideas for us! I figured oatmeal was a good choice..steal oat is probably best, right? Now I just have to make sure I cook it right! :wink: Thanks again!

My husband and I are having a difficult time finding something to eat for breakfast that is low in calories and carbs!! Here is an example of what we have eaten...This morning..a bowl of cereal, some slice strawberries and a slice of whole grain soy toast...500 some calories and lots of carbs. That doesn't leave me with…

Thank you so much for mentioning hungry-girl.com. I had never heard of it before. What a great site!!! I can't wait to try some of their recipes...like the "Mash Hit" potatoes!! ;)

So after a very strenuous kickboxing class, I came home and had some caramel popcorn. Ugh..it IS fat free but I was afraid to look at the rest. One step back right? I did have 300 calories left though for the day! Just trying to make myself feel better here. haha. But then I stood on the scale and it read 5 pounds…

ooohhh! Ok, then. Well, I'm glad I asked now. I've been doing this for a week and thought I was doing so good staying UNDER the recommended. Thank you all so much! I guess I better start planning my food for the day!!

What happens if you DON'T eat 1200 calories a day? Is it bad? Does it slow the process down? I am finding that by 7 or 8 at night I still have 200-300 calories left. I don't want to eat that late cause I've heard THAT is bad. Then if you burn calories you earn more..so am I suppose to eat the calories I've burned too?? I'm…

I only like to drink water usually...even when we go to restaurants... I named my 3 sons after people on tv (Riley.can't remember which character but heard it on tv), Ty (from Trading Spaces' Ty Pennington) and Brody (character from "Mallrats", one of my favs) After 14 years of being together, I still get butterflies in my…

I have a large glass that I drink from. It holds 500ml of water. I fill it 4 or 5 times a day. It's easier because I feel like I'm drinking less then I am. I fill it twice in the morning and twice in the afternoon and once in the evening. When I break it down like that, it doesn't seem as much. I also don't drink anything…

Feeling good about going out and being around skinny people... More confidence in the bedroom ;) Looking better in pictures My boys..losing weight would mean a happier mommy

Hi...I'm new..well, kind of.. I started in January and then gave up. I am back now and with tons of motivation. I started exercising regularly this week and wow do I feel good already. I love this site! It really helps you SEE what you are putting in your mouth everyday. Amazing. Reading other people's stories and seeing…
