I came to be the jerk that said...BUMP but she already deactivated her account. Waaahhh! But to contribute to these great ideas I love tilapia. Seriously has become my second favorite fish after salmon. Pan fried in a bit of olive oil and the tiniest pat of butter w lemon juice and pepper. Mmmmmmm

a 2 year old Rottweiler/German shepherd mix. He is 70 lbs of love, semi-neurosis and energy. He has one wonky ear that flops around while the other stands straight up. Sweet brown eyes and love him to death!

You are very welcome :flowerforyou: I used to be a slave to the scale and I often put on muscle quickly so I gain more before I lose. I would start and stop programs because I felt discouraged by, usually temporary gain. It especially is discouraging when you are working so HARD and are so sore from a program like…

This article helps me when I feel discouraged. http://www.dailyspark.com/blog.asp?post=why_the_scale_goes_up_when_you_start_a_new_workout_plan

Don't quit! I gained 2.5 lbs in the first month, I lost 1.5 inches in my waist, 1 inch in my hips and 1 inch from each thigh. That is a total of 2.5 inches in the first month. The second month, just three days in and I already lost another .5 inch in my waist and those 2 lbs have come off. The workouts get so much more…

A coworker gave me this recipe. Poached salmon: place salmon fillets in 1/2 c wine, juice of 2 lemons, whole garlic cloves (smashed and tossed in the with everything else: I used 5 cloves but use to taste) lightly salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, put lid and lightly poach salmon for about 10 minutes. Remove salmon,…

BUMP :flowerforyou:

Are you looking for legit kickboxing training or cardio kickboxing? I can recommend Turbojam/Turbofire and 10 minute solutions kickbox as cardio kickboxing. I can't emphasize how much I LOVE turbojam and turbofire by chalene johnson.

I've lost 20 pounds and currently I'm still obese and I am in fantastic health and cardiovascular shape. I want to be a trainer but am waiting until I hit goal weight because I understand that I need to represent the image of my future business. However, a "fit looking" trainer is not necessarily fit or healthy. Just found…

Tied between Sevendust (crazy *kitten*, fun fans) and System of a Down w Mars Volta--absolutely amazing show

I started insanity at 185 lbs at 5'1". I stopped and started several times because I burned out and/or injured myself. So I'm here to offer tips. 1-MODIFY If you are not seriously conditioned, modify the program. The calendar that comes with the program has you doing this exercise 6 days a week. I have scoliosis, herniated…

5'1 36D last time I measured but they feel way bigger. I use 2 bras to run, one maximum hold compression bra for intense cardio. When I first started getting back to working out, I underestimated the size of the girls and the amount of hold I needed in my bra. Went down for burpees and smacked myself in the face with my…

Thank you so much! I'm gonna give this a try. :smile:

I second this. Also am not a beachbody coach and do not drink Shakeology anymore. My stomach just couldn't handle it and I would spend too much time in the bathroom. However, my husband LOVES it. He makes a shake before work and I have seen his stomach decrease dramatically since and he's lost quite a few pounds. I buy it…

I was that person who didn't ever want to get married. Marriage was a piece of paper and an expensive ceremony. If we're happy why would we need to be married. My boyfriend at the time was point blank in how important he felt marriage was. Since it meant so much to him and not as much to me, I married him. I figured I…

Hey there, What kind of workouts are you doing and for how long? Did you calculate your BMR? It's possible you need even more than 1400 calories. How long have you been exercising and keeping to 1400 calories? Have you recently started a new workout regime?

I once read a quote: "women marry hoping the man will change and are disappointed when they don't; men marry hoping the woman never changes and are disappointed when she does." Know the person who you are marrying, truly know them. No one is perfect, but you should be able to live and love your spouse's imperfections.…

Don't get discouraged, think of it as part of the fun. Even Chalene will tell you, it's not fun if you master it the first time. As you master it, you get to really up the intensity. I did Turbojam and moved onto Turbofire. It's a great workout. I hope you stick with it!

This is hard to say: your husband wants you to fail. The changes he sees in you are scaring him to death. You and him probably partook in unhealthy eating together and now that you've changed your habits, you have disrupted his routine. What he is doing is a powerplay. He will not yield to your healthy eating habits and is…

I used phentermine a couple years ago and lost 11 lbs in one week, but there was a strange side effect for me....intermittent spotting and bleeding. It was strange, the MD who prescribed it had never heard of it before and I stopped it despite the doctor saying I could continue. Just be aware of any strange body changes…

This always happens to me as I approach my goal weight, especially with my family. They would constantly ask why i was so thin, if I was sick or depressed. (note that I've never been "thin", I'm 5 feet tall and at my lightest weighed 130...so yeah). It used to really get to me and I would give up and fatten up again. Now I…

I'm halfway thru week one but haven't done it everyday. Do you do it everyday?

I LOVE Chalean. I hit a plateau last year and my trainer suggested I do weight training as I was a cardio bunny. I was skeptical until the results. I didn't finish the whole 90 days (2 weeks short) but my body shape changed drastically. i am now trying to lose weight I put on after illness and after I cut a few pounds, I…

But OP isn't losing weight, so it's not effective right now.

More frequent shorter workouts are better than 1-2 hours of cardio. There is a point in cardio of diminishing gains. Longer does not mean better.

Are you doing steady state cardio (meaning one speed the whole time)? If so, try mixing in some intervals 2-3 a week (every other day or so, never consecutively). Interval training means for a period of time, this can vary from 20 secs- 1 minute, you work as hard as you can, you sprint or do a hill, then you recover for a…

Hey there. You're very welcome! I love sharing information. Most of the workouts in general are 45-60 minutes. However there are a few quick workouts. These are called HIITs-high intensity interval training. These are in turbofire and range in length from 15, 20, 25 and 30 minutes. Chalean Extreme workouts are 30-40 minute…
