bump

at first i rolled my eyes when i saw that and thought about how i was as a child. I rode my bike everywhere and ran too with just the other neighborhood kids and no parental supervision. sadly now, I don't know if i would let my children do that. Is the treadmill excessive? absolutely, but if kids want to work out with mom…

generally it's from a build up of lactic acid which is a natural by product of muscle use. Drink a lot of water after your work outs. It will get better with time as your body adapts to its new demands and becomes more efficient at meeting those needs.

these look so good...bump

i'm not a gym person nor one for work outs but my body needs it so i'm doing c25k and thirty day shred. i try to follow the routines but not daily. i have 10 to 20 more pounds to lose for me feel like i reached my goal and as others have said, i'm gonna do what i have to to get the body i want.

I hate working out but that is the only thing that will change my body. I've started running and while i can't say i like it yet i can tell you what keeps me going. I have a mantra that i keep saying in my head, especially when it gets hard. What do I tell myself? " hott dress and healthy baby" I want to lose as much…

I log in from my computer. I use measuring cups and food scales and when in doubt, I over estimate. At first, I only ate things that were labeled but as I learned the system more I created my own recipes. 2 benefits: my meals got simpler and now after 6 months I am even able to eat out and feel like I have a pretty good…

I can see why she perceives your actions as rude but she isn't meeting your needs in her class. you can either create a work out on your own or you can communicate with her what you are doing and why. My friend goes to the spin class and listens to lectures for our nursing program. at first her teacher freaked out, then…

Is there a way you can both have meals and plates that don't look so different. For instance, my husband loves nachos I will make his and top it with lettuce and such mainly so i'm not feeling jealous as i eat my salad . I'll also have 4 nachos total with a large salad on the side. It is similar but different (and my 5…

we all have bad days. I originally tried to have others respect my new lifestyle change but soon I realized that expecting them to change was unfair. Now I plan my day around events, eat much less and try not to drink. When they ask I say I've lost 15 pounds and have 20 more to go. The food is delicious and I will try…

bump!

It is not easy but I found that the free pod casts helps me. I don't have to time myself and I can't just stop early. The music also keeps me going. No matter what, getting started and maintaining is the biggest victory, so today you did great but tomorrow you will do even better.

i love how deep the chocolate flavor is. i haven't frozen it before but could be fun to try

c25k works great at slowly building you up for running but if you are concerned about joints talk with your doctor. Also I read yesterday how you can burn almost that same calories walking vs running. running just burns more in a faster time frame. I entered it today out of curiosity and found that running 30 min at 5.0…

for the juice lovers... I hate sweeteners and that taste of anything not corn or cane sugars BUT have you tried adding water to your regular juice? I love 100% cranberry but I am up to 1/4 cran and 3/4 water. I started with mainly cran and a tiny bit of water and over time it changed. I also have found that by doing this i…

C25k has a free pod cast so you just follow instructions. I love it and i do not like running! there are very few things that get me in shape like running so I hope to be in shape and up to 4 miles by June

I hate to exercise too. I love swimming laps but that doesn't help me as my body needs. I started running, not fun but find that my brain has a unique way to distract me, even with my i pod, I count. I don't know why i do but it helps. I guess it's just about focusing on something else. I don't have a gym membership, so i…

I feel bad for the man and his family. His death shouldn't be over shadowed by the controversial restaurant that he represented. It should also be noted that his death was from lung disease likely complicated by high weight but not from the infamous restaurant. For his family and friends I will extend my thoughts and…

My little thai place has a cucumber salad that i love and a chicken thigh dish that is delicious.It's boneless skinless thighs bbq in a light salty sauce. I don't eat the noodles or rice. My favorite dish is a chicken with bamboo shoots. remember what you can't control in ingredients you can control in portions. usually my…

i look at the over all fit. the bum and legs are most important for me but that being said a muffin top is hard to escape and likely the jeans don't stay up. Currently i have a muffin top pair since i am losing weight and in between sizes

I do have cheat days but they are more for others then myself. It is hard on my family to be restrictive all the time. if they want to go out to eat they don't like me stressing about it. yes it does slow me down some but I'm still learning how to incorporate my life style change to a sustainable level for the long term.…

LOL- I'm tempted but i know where he is coming from with wanting to wait awhile longer for financial reasons but reality is if we wait till everything was perfect we may never get to having kiddos, but knowing doesn't stop me from wanting and wishing.

My hubby can go out on a moments notice and be somewhere with no cell reception (he is a city fireman that has the option to be used in larger fires around the state and nation). I used to get down but now, i love the me time. I miss him like crazy, but I'm able to get things done with out him around. It is all about…

glad to make y'all laugh. I love seeing all the ideas and variety in dream weddings.

I loved my wedding and it was simple. In the end the show was for everyone else, I only wanted to be married to my fireman. we will celebrate 2 years this June and my only goal is for him to have a hotter healthier wife and maybe we'll start planning for our family. (He promised by Christmas and as early as August, so if…

i asked this when i started and someone said if i don't have a reason to track sugar don't. you know clean and you know junk. avoid processed grains and pure sugar things (candy) and you should be fine.

I love this web site. anything that says pressure cooker can be used in a slow cooker just increase the time. It also works great for beans and soups. http://www.skinnytaste.com/

macy's even does fittings. If you are self conscious... measure around your rib cage just below your breasts this is the band size (i.e. 38) and then measure over the densest part of your breast tissue (usually nipple line) and for each inch difference it is a cup size (so you measure 41 inches > 41-38= 3 so C cup) So the…
