You should make an appointment with your doctor NOW. I wouldn't workout until you see him/her and make sure all is well.

I bought extras so I wash them every week. I'm a germaphobe...so there you have it.

Sometimes I do. When I wear my running skorts I tend not to because that's too much fabric. My girl likes to breathe. LOL:blushing:

This is GREAT! Thank you!

Some days, I hop on the elliptical after my Insanity workout and spend another 20 minutes or so there. I feel so pumped up and energized that I want to do more.

I went to the one in Fort Worth that opened last month and stocked up on all the items I normally ship from my trips back home to MI or from WA for work. I was also able to get all of the great frozen items I love like grilled aspargus, pre-cooked brown rice, potstickers, french green beans, etc. The Plano location opens…

Ditto! All things in moderation + some exercise!

I'm a night owl so I prefer evenings, but if I work from home. I can do an AM session. I hate getting up at 5AM now that I don't have to do so.

Look at you!! Congrats "it" girl! LOL. Great job!

I logged my workouts using an HRM. I have a Polar FT7 and logged my calorie burn from there. It's the most accurate because the Kinect calories burned is just a guesstimate.I logged it as cardio.

What's your hair regime? Are you natural or relaxed?

I do a combination of Insanity, running, Dance Central 2, and Elliptical. Occasionally I'll throw in a Jillian Michaels or Jackie Warner DVD. I get bored VERY, VERY easily so mixing it up keeps me engaged and energized.

I always make big batches of soup that I can thaw easily. Or bake batches of salmon or tilapia and store them in foil packets that can go in the oven during my evening workout. Another thing I do is keep frozen shrimp and veggies on hand. You can thaw shrimp and fish fillets while you workout or shower for the evening and…

I'm from metro Detroit. I moved to Dallas almost 4 years ago. I get homesick every time those Pure Michigan commercials play here.

I'm relaxed, but typically keep my hair bunned because I like to keep my ends protected for growth. I conditioner wash my hair more frequently because I do workout now and after carefully detangling, I let my hair airdry in the bun if I have to go out or let it airdry loose if I have time. I keep it well moisturized, which…

Great job!!! You CAN see a difference. How tall are you? What's your workout regime to tone? What's your ultimate goal? Keep up the great work!

Water. Add fresh lemon, lime, or cucumber slices and enjoy.

Congratulations to you!!! Such an inspiration to many!!

Michigan State alum here...GO SPARTANS!

Taking note of suggestions here.

Fresh ground pepper works for me.

I get bored easily so I mix everything up with running, Insanity, Dance Central 2 Fitness Mode, elliptical, Tae-Bo, Jillian Michaels' DVDs, Jackie Warner's DVDs, to name a few.

I adore loose teas. I buy them from adagio.com. My all-time favorite is the citron green tea. They have sampler packs you can order to try different varieties.

Sounds interesting...off to investigate more...

I developed lactose intolerance about 25 years ago. It was HORRIBLE, bloating, pain, diarrhea, just awful. I'd miss so many activities because I was tied to the toilet. Lactaid drops (I don't think they make them anymore), Lactaid milk (sparingly because I don't like milk), and Lactaid pills became a way of life for me.…

I've had my Polar FT7 for about 4 months now and I LOVE it. There are other Polar varieties for women for less and I think you can find something you'll like easily. I also bought 2 additional chest straps in XS-S on Amazon to get a better fit. I say also long as you get one with a chest strap for a more accurate measure…

I certainly won't stop my hour of cardio 5-6 days a week. Do what works for you!

^^^I use a Polar HRM with a chest strap and log it as cardio. That said, I love Insanity. Incredible calorie burn.

I bought 2 on Amazon. They were around $13-$14.

Inspiring journey!! Congrats to you! You look awesome!!
