Looks INTENSE.. I have done P90X.. might be time to move on.. Hmmmm:glasses:

English, Pig-Latin (Ha! Is that even a real language?), and Spanish (just enough to know if someone is talking about me! and just enough to get me into some BIG trouble!) :tongue:

I'm going to ditto the ground turkey switch out.. it really works... do your kids and hubby like chicken? Chicken is a leaner meat substitute and seems to have enough substance to be more filling.. Or since it's getting to be warmer out and with summer right around the corner, grilling is a great way to get a variety of…

I know when I use my weighted vest or ankle weights for a workout I tend to have a more intense burn both in my muscles and cardiovascular wise.. I do a HIIT routine in the gym but I don't see why you wouldn't have the same effect while walking with weights.. more weight more burn?? I haven't tried my workout with and…

Maybe that week should be the week you stay away from exercise, let your body re-coup and let your mind re-focus.. I always find myself working hard after a much needed break, and maybe that's what your body may be asking for... as far as the food cravings I totally hear you!!! Have you tried a protein bar of some sort? I…

BUMP... I'm 5'1"...

I totally understand where you are coming from! Good Luck, My prayer is said.. and my candle is lit!! :wink:

This touched me in a tremendous way.. my daughter is very large for her age, she is 17 months and according to the doctor she's as big as a large 3 year old.. his words were and I quote mind you "she's huge".. broke my heart to a million pieces, I hurt for her even though she is not able to understand anything about it at…

FYI ladies... it's due to our anatomy that pull-ups are extremely hard.. especially if there is extra weight on your body.. even in the military pull-ups are optional, it's usually suggested to "hang" for women, it's all part of the men have stronger upper bodies thing.. but with time it is possible.. how much time..…

WTG! I'm with you on the "I only run when someone is chasing me." Haha I guess I can't use it as an excuse anymore... I try to do treadmill runs everyday.. but outside, whole different story.. working my way up to it.. great inspiration for me to start today thanks!

You are very kind! I think it just takes an action sometimes for us women to realize that... kinda reminds me of a cartoon I once saw... young attractive woman looking in the mirror and the reflection back at herself was an ugly fat old prude, then next box over you see a older bloated tub tub of a man looking in the same…

Happens to me every time I workout! I'm not too fair skinned.. but it's just something that happens to some people when they get warm/hot.. good blood flow.. think about it, the same thing happens to me when I blush! :blushing:

Just remember those people in the gym are there for similar reasons you are.. either to lose weight, maintain weight, or even gain it.. but they are all there for a purpose... to improve their bodies to how they see fit as the same with you.. Try not to concentrate on others but rather yourself, most other people in the…

I would suggest taking a vitamin supplement to help in that area, yes eggs are a good source of protein but can also have a high amount of fat.. with that being said Greek yogurt will give you an added protein boost vs. regular yogurt without the extra fat calories not needed. I would check with your doc just to make sure…

HIIT or interval training can get you the best of both worlds (Cardio and Strength Training) in a limited amount of time.. If you use your time wisely with type of exercise you can burn roughly 415 calories in 30 min.

AWESOME!! You ARE beautiful and it's always great to have someone your close to notice! Brag it up lady... you deserve it!! :drinker:

Thanks All! My conclusion... GONNA KICK THE HABIT!!! Ha! Wish me luck! :tongue:

Ha! Who cares if your "built"... the fastest area a woman will TONE is in her shoulder/ collar bone area.. I find it very sleek and sexy myself.. but the combination is a good one when done correctly for a multi muscle group exercise just make sure focus is both in the squats and the press, I find working out in front of a…

I'd start with bands.. there are examples within each video someone is doing for modifications.. bands, dumbbells, and body weight only.. it's totally what you feel is comfortable at this point, but believe me you will get stronger and want to do more as you get further into it!! FYI.. there is a guy who does all the…

I incorporate them into my weekly routine usually 25lbs each arm and feel no pain if done correctly, shoulder presses are a regular exercise used by many and not anything I've read to stop doing... maybe it was the combination of the squat and the shoulder press.. if your focus is primarily on the press your squat form…

I love turkey breast double meat (no cheese) on 9 grain oat piled high with veggies.. all of them!! Salt & Pepper for a little zest and easy honey mustard... delicious!! Highly recommended!! :love:

I wouldn't recommend it.. it's a gimmick like most other fad diets.. you can lose weight quickly but it will come right back! My suggestion track your food and exercise, calories in vs. calories out..

I actually think 135 lbs at 5'5" is a really good weight, maybe focus on some weight training and tighten up... get some muscle under that skin and see what a difference it makes.. 135 lbs of lean muscle girl your gonna be a fox! :wink:

Awesome Inspiration! Maybe I will get a chance to put my wedding dress back on and do the same! :blushing:

Ha! I am also married and I jokingly wished I would have one of those hot guys notice my progress and hit on me to a friend the other day... thought maybe it would be flattering.. now that I think about it I really don't know what I would do, first of all because I'd be in so much shock and second because I've been married…

I also have an irregular heartbeat or murmur that the doctors diagnosed me with when I was born and they said it would eventually "go away" by the age of 15.. I still have the murmur and I am 26 but am able to "control" if you will by listening to my body, I've been in sports all my life and have not had any problems I…

What do you mean by a regular dinner? Contrary to popular beliefs.. the body actually needs ALL macro-nutrients.. Protein, Carbs. & Fat.. I wouldn't cut out bread all together, just change to a whole grain/wheat product.. these fast burning starch carbs. are an easy filler that won't overload your diet.. these are always…

If you think of your stomach in layers, this is how you can picture it... skin.. fat.. muscle.. guts... When you do a core exercise you are strengthening/building the muscles making them firmer but fat burn is minimum some tightness will occur but probably not the solution you are looking for... so how do you see the tight…

In all my nutritional training it's like flipping a coin... if your looking to consume less CALORIES and just can't kick the sweets but need to lose X amount of weight, then yes the artificial sweetener is going to be the best way to go.. if you're looking at an over all health perspective artificial sweeteners tend to…

Count me in.. although I'm not on Facebook... :ohwell:
