Hi everyone. Wow we've got a bunch down with the sick stuff. My love and hugs going out to all of you. Waving hi to those I haven't met yet. Just a quick check in for me this morning. Been feeling lousy all weekend, finally up to a little exercise this morning, but definitely had to push myself to finish. Did Kettlebell…

MollysMom check out 3babybeans website for new Turbo Jam stuff. She's our new resident BeachBody coach and I know she could help you out with good DVD's. http://www.milliondollarbody.com/bbst/homepage.php?homepage_Username=SJBalsmeyer hugs michele

welcome to all the new Jammers today. It's so much fun to have so many people enjoying the Jam! I'm just quickly waving hi to everyone. Hoping all those who are out of town for the weekend are having a great time. And wishing our Birthday Girl a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!:flowerforyou: Supposed to be going on a hike with DH…

Lyn LOL at the hubby yelling at the baby to go to sleep. Did it work? Just got back from a walk around the neighborhood with DH. Good talk, fresh air, blue sky, it was a good thing. hugs michele

Megan the classes for men was the funniest thing ever. Thanks for the crack up this morning! Amanda WELCOME! I'm in Eagle Mtn. Utah. And I think the theory is that you eat your 1200 calories but can eat the extra calories you earn if you're hungry and need them. I usually dip into mine somewhat cause 1200 calories is not…

Lyn I was born in Boise, grew up in McCall and Nampa. WOOHOOO fellow Idahoan!

Lyn I live in Eagle Mountain, which is west of Lehi. We moved out here a year ago from Orem. BUT I'm originally an Idaho girl!! Born and raised. Where are you in Idaho? Hello neighbor. LOL at the crazy Utah drivers. I so agree. I just hang out in my home by the mountains and stay away from the freeway and any busy road.…

Lyn I sure hope the mad goes away soon. I agree with you, about it being the end of a LONG winter. I"ve had a few of those same mads over the past few months. Just wanna bite someone's head off! Hang in there and lots and lots of hugs coming your way!:heart: Megan enjoy your weekend away. DC is such a fun place to go. Hope…

Dragonfly LOL at the songs running around in your head. Now you've got them running around in mine. All you dance fans let me hear you clap your hands! Catchy but once caught hard to get rid of. gottaluv WOOHOO"s on sore shoulders. WTG deedun hope your queasy tummy is feeling better soon. hugs michele

Hi everyone. Welcome to our newbies. Now I'm not the only new one, YAY!! Sara you just inspire me. Thanks for sharing your journey in numbers with us. You give me new found hope!! Can'lt wait till your sites up, I'd planned on ordering Chalene Extreme but will definitely be waiting so I can order from you. I'm a morning…

gottaluv LOL about LL CoolJay. I do the same thing, drool that is. Sounds like we all love "momma's gonna knock you out". That's definitely my favorite. Well it's official. Down 5 lbs this week. WOOHOOOO's to me. I love that first week WI. Now on to week #2. It's gonna be a good one too. I did Lower Body Jam this morning.…

I loved reading about everyone's favorite combos today, and I'm gonna second them all and say that my favorite is the one previously mentioned in 20 minute Jam. Sara WOOHOOO's on your Masters Class. It sounded like it was alot of fun. And I can't wait till you get your website up and going too. You'll be a wonderful…

Gottaluv hope you're enjoying your BBQ! Janet LOL at your comic relief. Hope you enjoyed the yard work. DH and I went out for a long awaited date. Haven't been out alone in ages, every minute was taken up with wedding details for the past month. Now that DD is married we finally earned a much needed moment to connect.…

YAY I'm so excited for you. I"ll be checking back too. I wanna hear all about it. You'll be such a wonderful instructor!

drevans mom I'm so glad you're feeling better today. You hang in there, you'll see a loss next week! Megan enjoy your TJ today. I didn't get any TJing done but I did go for a long walk this morning and then buzzed around cleaning my house. Spent about 90 minutes getting in exercise and I'm feeling so, so good. I love what…

You could probably count your dvd as an aerobics activity. So just search for aerobics on your Exercise page and go from there. Congrats on your new baby and your WL. WOOT WOOT indeed.

Morning everyone! Janet Bosu is like half of a stability ball that sits on a hard platform, and you use it kind of like a step but it's bouncy. Very fun, Drevens mom I sure hope you're feeling a little better today. I"m thinking of you! hugs michele

FC will the groups be kind of like the ones on Spark People, with individual groups that you have to join? That will kind of be nice! So, shall I start the Bingeing Buddies thread in the morning? Whatcha think?

Is it too late for me to join in? I sure can use that late night support! My cut off time is 8:30. Keri so sorry you were sick yesterday. Hope things are better today!!

It sounds like we need to start a Bingeing Buddies daily thread!! Maybe we can post to each other, when things are hard, when we're feeling driven to binge. Whether it's Naptime or in the evenings or whenever. What do you all think?

YAY to not buying that bag of chips!

Sara Thank you! I'm so glad I can be inspiring to someone instead of "that crazy lady with 7 kids"! LOL That's what I usually get. No really, it's been a pleasure to be the mom to so many wonderful kids and such a relief that they've turned out so well. gottaluv LOL about the shrinking ta-tas. I'm so glad you're happy…

Sara WOOHOOOO's! How exciting for you and what a great opportunity. I agree with all that has been said before, you should definitely go for it. But regardless, what a great victory for you, to have someone see your expertise and enthusiasm and recruit you! WTG girl. Again, thanks everyone for your generous welcomes…

WOW what a relief to know I'm not alone in this behavior. I really had some self discovery moments this morning reading everyone's stories. I"ve never purged, but boy not because I didn't want to but because I could never get myself to physically do it (but I tried). And I'm so ashamed for getting to the point where I'm so…

I just did a really great flexibility DVD with my fitness ball. It's called Ten Minute Solutions Fitness Ball Workout (I think). I came away feeling like all my muscles had been stretched and elongated and I feel really good. I think flexibility is such an important part of fitness and will definitely help us live better…

What a great topic. And just coming off a week of bingeing myself, I can really relate to the subject. Thanks for sharing your thoughts, both of you. Your words helped me alot, and made me realize how much I need to take a real hard look at what I'm doing to myself by bingeing and not forgiving and letting go. hugs michele

Thanks for the great welcome everyone. I can tell already that I'm going to enjoy myself here.

Thanks everyone!

Hi everyone. Hope you don't mind if I crash this party. I just joined MFP yesterday and I've been scanning the boards looking for a place to land. Since I love Turbo Jam this seemed to be the place. Having been away from TJ for a few months I did CardioParty 1 this morning. Such a good reminder to me of why it is that I've…

Lebe have you read Neal Gaiman's Graveyard yet? I've heard such good things about it but haven't picked it up. Wondered if I should?
