Yes I actually do have a pilates DVD. I've only been doing it once a week though. I have a few different DVDS that I switch up but maybe I will start doing the pilates more. Some of those moves are definitely tough!! :laugh:

Thanks for that interesting information about your waist being half your weight!

I don't usually eat this late but I wouldn't mind a bowl of all bran right about now!

should you not eat past? I know everyone has different opinions but what time is too late? It's 11:30pm here and I am ready for bed and I see I am short about 200 cal til I hit 1200. Is it too late for a bowl of cereal?

Thanks for your opinion but you don't need to explain anything to me. I was simply saying asking if theres anything more I can do to TARGET the specific areas, I know doing situps/crunches help your abs. I was wondering if theres anything else. Theres always people who have to add in the extras for whatever reason, some…

Congrats, that is excellent news and I wish you luck with your new goal now!! :flowerforyou:

Hmm I don't have any experience with this but my goal IS to loose 7 lbs by April 6th. I started working on this goal almost three weeks ago and I have lost two pounds and what I believe to be two inches so far! I think the past way to set a goal is the way the above poster mentioned, perhaps have a goal for a certain…

Thank you rebcolorado & myastyme!! Just the kind of support I need without any negative comments :flowerforyou:

okay thanks anyways but I did a search online and most websites I look at claim that the "ideal measurements" for a woman are 36-24-36!

There must be ideal measurements for a woman right??

lololol are you being serious or just pulling my leg :laugh: :laugh:

I know I dream big LOL I just kind of mean what are the best exercises to target THOSE areas so maybe some magic can happen lol:laugh:

Shed a couple inches? Is it possible to take off your waist and hips and not your chest? I am 36-29-38. I would like to loose two inches off my hips and one or two off my waist but I don't want to loose any off my chest. lol :blushing: I have lost two pounds and I've got 4 more to loose to be at my goal weight. What's the…

I am not sure if I've lost any inches, I believe I may of lost an inch or two off of my hips and maybe an inch on my waist. I took them back in January but I can't exactly remember although I took them again today first time since then and I believe the two are lower by at least 1 inch each. Now I am wondering what are…

You can do it!! My goal is to loose 7 lbs by April 6th. I am going on vacation as well. I have lost about 2-3 lbs so far and have about 4 to go. I will be happy with loosing inches and toning just as much as the pounds.

this looks really good, thank you I will definitely be trying it!!

I just finished in June, I'm 22

I've been doing them almost everyday for about 3 weeks now and I don't really see anything yet unless I am missing it lol

I really pushed myself with my workout yesterday, I did some at home, at the park and I went to the gym. Today I am totally feeling it in my legs and stomach area. I don't want to be totally lazy today, I was thinking of going swimming and a walk to get some exercise in, is that cool?!

I feel this way at the gym sometimes but I just try to suck it up and mind my own business.If your really that worried maybe go for a walk at the park if you have some trails around your house? I went to the park yesterday and did some of my cardio there and tried another members idea of doing step ups on the park bench!

I ate my 1200 calories yesterday exactly not one over and I don't know how I can manage to eat more :noway: It was all healthy foods so I don't know how I could eat more and I had about 500 exercise calories I didn't get too because well, it was already late at night and I was just not hungry!!

I just went for a nice walk at the park and here we have this big hill, it's pretty steep and it's definitely a good work out if you run up it. I see people go once or twice and they can't do any more. Well last week I did twice and that was enough for me, today I did three times and fast walk the 4th time. I am looking to…

I'm not going to comment on your decision because in your post you didn't ask for any opinions from ANYONE just asked us to wish you luck, so Good luck with your decision I hope it works out for you! :flowerforyou:

You could make your own soups and freeze one serving portions for lunch then you can have half a sandwich with it too :happy:

What do you do on those crazy busy days where you just don't get all the calories in? I had one of those hectic days yesterday. I had something to eat in the morning and had a glass of water, I went to get my hair done and ended being there from 1pm to 4:30 almost. When I got home I had to take my dog to the vet because…

Sorry I've never heard of this either, how strange! I am sure it's nothing too serious and hopefully you can get it fixed by calling your doctor. I am not sure what "TOM" is, sorry I am new! :blushing:

Sorry to hear about your stress! I know how it feels also, I just graduated college in June and was working until December when right before Christmas they laid me off and I will not be going back! I have been looking for another job and there is nothing for me here, at least I haven't found anything yet! It is very…

I am newly addicted to hummus!! It is way to tasty, glad to see others who love it like me LOL :love:

Thank you!! I was not expecting my period today, I knew she was on her way but not exactly sure when so I weighed myself yesterday and I was 135. at the beginning of the week I was 137 so I was happy I lost but this may of not been accurate, maybe I lost more? I guess we will see in a few days! lol

I also can't help it and step on the scale almost every day. lol Don't beat yourself up, from what I've heard some weeks are better then others and just keep a positive attitude, that is what has been helping me,I have also been on here for only a week.
