Maybe find old copies of Tony Horton's 10 minute trainer? I used this when I was a student working two jobs and going to class. I know it's not comparable to raising a toddler, but time was at a premium. The workouts are really broken down well and are suitable for beginners and people just getting back to fitness. Baby…

Wow that was a dickish response. TC, I'm on day 6 feel free to add me.

I just started my second round today. Feel free to add me! :)

On my most crampy days usually day 2 and 3, I do light cardio and yoga. Otherwise, I workout normally.

I make killer turkey meatballs. My tip to keep ground chicken/turkey moist (like in burgers, patties, meatballs) is to saute chopped onions, garlic and lightly wilt some spinach, let it cool then add it to the ground meat with your other ingredients. I like using spinach because of the nutritional value and moisture…

Don't take this the wrong way, but when I'm at the gym, I'm too busy blasting my music in my ears and working out to pay attention to anyone's conversation. Get in, do your workout and get out. If it really bothers you, and you choose not to directly confront them, come int o workout at a different time when the guys…

First, of all, your debt becomes his debt when you are married. It won't be counted twice on your credit reports, but will count when the mortgage broker analyzes your debt to income ratio unless you decide to put everything in his name because he has better credit. It's hard to give you specific advice because we don't…

You gained 155 lbs in 4 years. I would tell you to consult a doctor first, even if the calories are too low for long term weight loss, you should have had some initial loss. Make sure you don't have a metabolic or thyroid disorder that could interfere with your goals if untreated. If you've been given a clean bill of…

Scandal. So addicted to that show. The first episode put me off a little but stick with it until at least episode 3. My guilty pleasure

I'm 168 lbs, 5"1, my HRM says I burn 279 calories during turbosculpt. Hope that helps!

I was never the girl who imagined her wedding day or planned on getting married. I met my husband and marriage meant more to him than being unmarried meant to me. I knew, deep in my heart, that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him and didnt feel I needed the validation of marriage. I never thought being married…

I'm not a mother, but I figure your time is a commodity w a newborn and a 4 year old so quick effective workouts will work best for you. Something like 10 minute trainer whenever you catch a break, or 30 day shred would be awesome and is less than 30 minutes. As for diet, I don't know if you're breast feeding, if you are,…

Thanks ladies. It's comforting to hear I'm not alone in this.

I dont really have recipes as much as ideas. You might want to bring along a foreman grill if you own one. You can use it to grill chicken, veggies or even make paninis. Breakfast: buy eggs, yogurt, frozen fruit, frozen veggies, maybe cheese if you eat that, granola and/or a good lean cereal (like Kashi), flatbread (some…

I second In this Moment. Also can't stop listening to Sevendust: Blackout the Sun and OTEP: Hydra

Simple....tell her to go f**k herself. As the wedding gets closer, her behavior is probably going to worsen. Seriously, what makes some women feel entitled to act this way because some poor schmuck lacked the good sense to run the hell away?

If we are going to have this debate about cows and milk production, you have to have it about soy and soy production. Soy is not as great as people think. There are drawbacks to every type of eating. Overconsumption of soy products can cause hormonal imbalances http://www.foodrevolution.org/blog/the-truth-about-soy/…

Yup, it sucked too. I tweaked my knee 2nd week of Month 2. Took a week off, came back and tweaked my back. I was almost to the end, but missed too much time. I say listen to your body! Now, when I re-start it, I will only do it 3-4 times a week. 6 times a week at that level was excessive for my body. Fatigue leads to bad…

Mix up your walks. Add in walking lunges forwards and backwards, walk up and down hills, walk through the park and do step ups or, if you're conditioned, box jumps on the bench. There are tons of great free workouts on youtube. A great one for the trouble spots you want to focus on is the butt bible. The entire system is…

I'm at the start of week 2, my first round. How did you like it? Did you get to complete the 90 days?

In situations like this my response is two words "f**k off" that's it. No explanation, nothing. He says "oh you're so boring, you want to work out." You say : f**k off. He says "why don't you just eat what I'm eating" You say f**k off and keep doing what you're doing. I've gone my whole life passive and now I just have a…

Simple: tell him you don't have time to chat because you just came in to workout. Explain to him that you dont like to socialize at the gym because it's cutting into your limited exercise time. And then just walk away. We, as women, are so afraid as being seen as rude. Who cares? Be assertive. You're there to workout, not…

I tried medifast. Medifast "works" because it's considered a VLCD (very low calorie diet). It started as meals for bariatric surgery patients, IIRC. If he really wants to do a VLCD, he can speak to his doctor who can send him to a bariatric specialist. The MD can let him know if he is a candidate/whether it's healthy for…

Coincidentally, I did my first tapout workout 2 days ago. Yes I rested yesterday because Workout #1 was Cross Core Combat. My entire torso was aching. i couldn't even laugh without a little soreness. I loved it. It was unlike any other workout I've done, which is great because I get bored easy. I was able to buy the entire…

If I had 10 bucks for every military person I know got married for all the reasons you listed and then was either cheated on or divorced by the time they came back, i'd be a thousandaire (hey I don't know THAT many military people) I'm not trying to insult or question your commit to your relationship. You are setting…

bumping for later since I can't watch youtube at work....

I appreciate the suggestions! I do walk on my lunch break and morning coffee breaks but I work near Wall Street/World Trade Center in NYC. Can be impossible to walk those sidewalks sometimes. Sometimes, if my workload is too high, I don't take a break. Even so, I've been at this standard of working out high intensity…

Thanks!
