Read Jillian Michael's boost your metabolism. I have low thyroid and it really helped me. Some easy things are cutting out artificial sweeteners, tums and walnuts. Just some quick tips.

I also like Jackie Warner's Dvds for strength. They rock. You can preview them at Excercise tv. I also loved insanity by Beach body but $10 won't buy it. But it is really, really awesome.

I have made myself workout on certain days of the week no matter what!!!!! I work out Monday, Tues, Wed and Thursday and I never, never miss. I even worked out on Thanksgiving. When I worked out every other day, I always made excuses. Give it a whirl... it works!

I personally love Insanity by Beachbody.

It depends if you like working out for 45 minutes then Chalean. If you like an hour or more p90x!

Hey Verda... I only do four days a week because it totally works for me and my family. Our weekends are soooooooo busy and I want to enjoy them. I have to say... I am not sure if I love month 2. I think it is really hard on my joints. I can do it but... I am not sure if I want to go back to turbo jam. CRAZY on the joints.

I just started yesterday too. My arms are killing me. I only do it four days a week though. What about you?

WOW!!!! I think that sums it up. You are a machine. I did level 2 of Insanity last night. It was so challenging that I was shaking after it.

Turbo Jam was the first beach body set that I bought. I love Turbo Jam. I had a very bad knee injury when I was 16. I was able to do it. I just made sure that I was careful. Since then, I have done Insanity. I am on the second month and just started the Max workouts. The thing that is great about beach body is they always…

I am in.... 5'2' whoo whoo

I was hungry last night too. I actually didn't make my total calorie quota yesterday. I am always torn between eating too late and finishing my daily amount.

Probably the salt in the food or if it was veg. soup maybe it is just the gas from it. Drink a big glass of water.

It is challenging but you can pace yourself! However, you should be in pretty good shape before starting. I did Turbo Jam first. I love it but it is challenging. You just have to stick with it.

Of course! We want everyone to lose ten pounds before Christmas. Welcome. I have 8 to go!!!

Down a pound this week.... 8 to go. I go to the doctor today for my paperwork for my surgery one month from today. I hope I can get this 8 pounds off before then! I start month two of insanity this week. I hope that does it.

Keep me posted about which cream works best.

Triple berry muffin from Trader joe's.

Okay... not down any weight but I finally can pull up and zip my "thin" shorts. Insanity is making me build muscle so... maybe that is why I haven't dropped the pounds.

WOW! YOu are really on your way.

Does the magic Egyptian cream have vitamin E in it?

Do you like P90x better than Insanity? I am half way done Insanity. Then, I think I am doing Chalean Extreme and then P90X. What do you think? I will be out of the workout curcuit for 6 weeks starting on December 18th. I am getting a tummy tuck from having my kids then. I am a little nervous about not working out for 6…

It is very intense interval training. I really, really love it. The first two workout... you are like... What the heck is this.... then... you really start to love it. I feel soooo much stronger. It has increased my speed and determination. It is quite intense. It is a 60 day program. You have to be in shape before…

It is never too late to join. Welcome. 7 weeks does make things stressful.

If you have little girls, the American Girl Factory rocks. We have taken the kids to several shows in NYC. However, it was so much better when my youngest got to be about 6. They get too tired before that age and stroller stink to bring around. We took my son to the Gazillion Bubble show and he loved it. The Toys r us in…

I only lost .2 this week. I guess lunch in NYC wasn't such a good idea!

I use agave in my coffee and such. I stopped artifical sweetners over the summer. I dropped 6 pounds in two weeks when I did.

My goodness.... you look fabulous. What an incredible transfirmation!!!! Keep up the good work. You should be sooooooooooo proud of yourself.

When people that suck at their job... effect mine.

I loved Turbo Jam.... that was the first beachbody set that I bought. Make sure youhave weighted gloves and you will really suceed.
