I can't do a pullup either. I can't do more than 1 real pushup. The point is eventually you will be able to. I tried getting out of the pullups before I started too. But, from what I understand there's no alternative. I bought my pullup bar from Walmart for $20. It's a Gold's Gym thing that just sets on your door frame.…

I've skipped over clicking on this thread several times because I feel I have a pretty good handle on what I'm doing. I expected to see here an informationally valid point, but have to say that for a thread titled "knowing the facts of the science of food / weight loss tips", it was lacking everything it was described to…

OOH! That sounds REALLY good! Where did you find nuts in a shell? The only store I have in my town is Kroger... do you think they would have some, and a nutcracker, I would need one of those! Ah, that would take me back to sittin on my PapPaw's lap around Christmas and him crackin walnuts for me! :heart:

I know what you mean! I am so surprised that I'm not dying! I'm on week 3 now and I can tell a huge improvement from week one on each workout. Yesterday I had a few too many cals at lunch so I decided to do my scheduled CardioX then popped in Kenpo. It was great! I read through the book again because I was considering…

Marie, I've said it before but I want to say it again: You are my favorite person on MFP! You always make me smile! I'm glad you invited your other friends here. How is Sammy today? Lolo was a bed HOG last night!! She gets to stay out with Daddy until 1:30 today and then I get home around 4:30. Easy day for her. Too bad…

Man! I am so sorry to hear that! I can imagine how you felt! My parents live at "the end of the line" for the sewer service on their road. Well, there have been 4 separate times where we have had a big storm where the power goes out and the sewer system stops pumping, therefore causing everyone on the road's sewage to back…

5%??? I dont know how that would even be possible... "4) eating protein immediately after a workout does very little for you unless you also eat the correct amount of carbohydrates. " I eat dinner directly after my daily workouts. Usually it is about 5 oz meat and vegetables... Is there something I should be doing…

Love it! :heart: :laugh:

Stomach vacuums? Would that be just like sucking it in and letting it out or something?

bump...

You know how they say if you are in a household or workspace with other ladies your TOM will synchronize? Do you think that applies to online spaces, too?? :laugh: My Aunt Flo showed up 4 DAYS EARLY this month and isn't plannin on leavin any earlier! So, the question, do I hate working out when it's my TOM? I can name only…

What is ChaLean Extreme like?

Marie, Lois keeps slim by running around like crazy so much. She doesn't get a lot of snacks. She does love popcorn as much as her mom and dad and will eat it right out of the bowl with us. She usually gets some of daddy's bacon on Saturday morning. But that's about it. She likes ice cubes for a treat too! Calorie free!

I :heart: Superman-Banana!!!

bump... :huh:

Awww poor Lexie! I wonder if she learned a lesson... Lois likes to eat Q-Tips, just nibble the cotton off the ends. She's learned pretty well that she's not allowed to have them but she sneaks sometimes. Lois and Sammy have something in common! I have to close her out of the room to put any lotion on or she will try to…

Oh, I know Lois loves other dogs! She has lots of friends! :wink:

Weaklink - Thank you for sharing your story. I think we will still consider a friend for Lois, but, the one I received the email about has already found her new home, so that makes me happy. Marie, that's a sweet story about Angel & Sammy. I think I will talk to Hubby about a sister for Lois again tonight. Have a nice…

While I was out of the office last week, one of our vendors sent me an email about a puppy that their friend had found abandoned at a local park. I wish I knew how to post pictures here because I would share with you. They said the pup appears to be about 8 or 9 weeks old, female, yellow lab/huskey mix... missing right…

Hello everyone! Sorry we missed you all at the end of last week and the weekend. I was not at work and my computer at home only works when it feels like it! :laugh: Lolo had a good day/night Saturday. Got to play with her cousin, Roxy. She was EXHAUSTED all day yesterday. She didn't leave the couch all day until we went up…

Tell Sammy me and Lolo say Hi!! And Hi to everyone else! We felt bad for Lo last night because her daddy didn't have any time to play with her because of school work and I had class until 10PM. He threw her ball for just a little bit but it wasn't enough for her. Poor girl. I really want to get a treadmill for her!

"I lost 35 pounds ULTRA FAST taking Xenadrine Ultra!" Really? I lost 10 pounds slowly by eating healthy and exercising regularly! PLUS - no you didn't. :laugh:

Morning all! Yesterday was my rest day, today will be Core Synergistics! I was thinking I would have to miss CardioX tomorrow due to an overnight Team Building thing for work... but I decided I will just come to work late tomorrow and do my workout in the morning! I'm really happy I thought of that. lol. My shoulder has…

I might make this this weekend even though hubby won't eat it... It might keep me from going overboard like I usually do on the weekend.

How are all the pups doing today?

Awesome! I am so happy I dropped my crummy old gym membership and started P90X. Keep up the good work!

Thank you for the advice on the Yoga. I know I will try longer next time... I was kind of rushed with company coming over when I was doing it Saturday. No excuse though. Thanks again.

I wouldn't dismiss the yoga. I believe Tony when he says it is a very important part of the program. Just give it another shot. Have you done Kenpo yet? I was surprised with how much I liked it. I thought it was going to be much more complicated than it actually was. It was a great cardio workout. :flowerforyou:

Thanks, BiloxiBelle for the advice. In fact, since I have started I actually seem a little thicker (ie. my pants are a little tighter), BUT, no worries, I know my body is just adjusting to this new type of routine, and I will start to slim down after a few weeks.

Glad to see you all here! I did Kenpo last night and actually really enjoyed it. I get a little mixed up if there are a lot of moves in one sequence, but I still did OK I think. I was definitely sweating my butt off! Today is my rest day. Hopefully I can get out of class early enough to try out XStretch. I am so proud of…
