Sage advice: Rubber Mallets were invented so Mother In Laws would shut up... I have kids they're far from kids and baby and I am totally in love with kids I wish I'd had 10 but NOT NOW... lol As for people that are pushy I suggest you feel free to advise MIL and anyone else about how THEY should have that baby THEY want so…

PAPA Murphys Delite Crust beef & very easy on the cheese is my weekly Pizza kick (120 calories a slice Large size). One I don't have to make it all the way from scratch because most of the time I'm in a hurry. You TAKE and BAKE the pizza which is awesome because then I can take it home & top it with the Fat Free Mozzarella…

Arg!! I have not been feeling well - I think I have a flu bug. I have NO energy to work out and no appetite either. Hope it moves on soon! Maybe by Thursday I can get back on the horse!!!! I am really impressed by all of you - you're inspiring! Beat the Jillian!!!
-
No - are you making sure to eat enough? Drink enough? Fiber enough? Do you eat before the AM workout? Just a little snack or something really helps me. I do the shred in the Evenings and my cardio in the mornings. I log it all in the AM the past couple of days because I found this helps me EAT enough through the day…

Finally stopped Chickening Out and did Day 1 of the Level 2 Shred and liked it. Yes it kicked my butt. Yes I'm sore today. Yes I had to stop & catch my breath 3 times. Yes I changed up doing the harder versions to the easier versions mid workout and back again. Yes, I felt my workout was drowning me. Yes I remember when…

I crave.................... ATTENTION!! Sorry just no real ONE food cravings at all. Just I want attention. (grin) Part of FEELING good because of looking good - I just used to be this "don't look at me- don't talk to me - don't take my picture I wish I was invisible" and now I just want to be seen and strike up…

Day 8 - Level 1 Is it bragging if I say I went back at the end and redid the 3rd round of cardio? I like that part!! Plus it helps if on the Punches if you get down to an angle where the end of your punch is in Jillian's face. Punch Punch !!! Hang in there think I'll start Level 2 tonigh and if its not too bad I'll finish…

Bump BUMP BUMP (laff) So much of this LOOKS so good!! I'm Bumping this for later!

I began my 30 Day Shred on the 25th. Day One - Had to break about 8 times OMG sweaty ooky gross and my butt is kicked. Day Two - only had to stop about 6 times (screw you Jumping Jacks!!) Day Three - Took 3 short breaks and did better following the 'easier' person and slowing down (my body wants to do 3 for their every 1…

I rise but don't shine at 4:45 in order to down a cup of coffee, eat a yogurt with flaxseed and drive to the gym by 5:15. You gotta have a lil something in your stomach! Try a protein smoothie. I'm not a morning person but I'm also not a people person so going to the gym at this time is best for me. No one else is there…
-
LMAO!! But to the original post - Drink LOTS of extra water and eat lots of FIBER Pretty sure I don't need to explain further where those calories will go

My absolute NumberONE Eliptical motivation song is My Chemical Romance's Planetary GO! It bumps up my work out and me! I keep a whole section of MCR song on my gym tunes playlist which includes but is not limited to --- Puddle of Mudd-Spaceship Shinedown - Sin with a Grin OR Cry for Help Incubus - Priceless The Pretty…

I haven't the foggiest. I am not a nutritionist. I am not even a diet person. But sometimes for no apparent reason I want to eat everything in the fridge. Shockingly I will go over my calories and as long as I remain active it doesn't heap on any weight. In fact usually I drop a little. Everyone is so crazy about boosting…
-
I'm with you.. who cleans everyday? Thats like torture!!! Usually 2 days a week for keeping up with the clutter and the crazy stuff on a weekend day when I have time for that. I halftime these activities and even then sometimes I think its too high a calorie burn on MFP I did furniture moving for 3 hours but I wasn't…
-
$25 isn't bad for a no commitment membership - I do Snap Fitness. A lot of places will let you go for a week for free to find out if you like it. As for the intimidation I assume its from working out in front of others??? --- I go damn early in the morning when nobody tends to be around so I can test drive the machines and…
-
Stationary bike is merely a warm up for me in the morning. I like to bike to warm my legs & stretch out my arms & work the kinks out of my shoulders. It's a good warm up machine but I'm competely in love/hate relationship with an eliptical. Somedays I kick its butt, other days it kicks mine but I never walk away feeling…

My mother used seran wrap just last month to attend a wedding. Her girdle broke and it seemed a quick emergency fix for looking slimmer. You know - when you cant go out & buy spanx!!!
-
I am no expert at all but I suggest more protein, less fat & carbs; going by the MFP standard isn't good. You do need fat & carbs for milk production but lowering these a little and bringing up the protien won't hurt. APPLES!! I swear by apples. An apple is the best "on the walk" treat and I find that if I chow an apple…

Titanic, Twilight, EVERY Romantic movie!! Except The African Queen. My favorite romantic movie is The Crow. Butt kicking & Bloodletting. I don't care how bad Immortals was its still better than every romantic movie out there. I guess it takes a type. Gimme sci fi and action, adventure and fantasy (Just say NO to the Eragon…

Eric Draven: Take your shot, Funboy. You got me dead bang. OR Top Dollar: Ya know, my daddy used to say every man's got a devil. And you can't rest 'til you find him. The Crow

Sea Salt & Caramel Cupcakes with a carmelized Pecan on top (sniffle) from my favorite cupcake shop. No worries I can prolly talk myself into a 1/4 serving but it's impossible to not shove the whole thing in my mouth and buy a second. I do a mock up version with sugar free yellow cake but its no where near as decadently…
-
When I hit that point in the Eliptical where I say OMG I cannot go anymore I can't I can't.. I bump my playlist to MyChemical Romance's Planetary GO! In the beginning I'd have to run it through twice but I'm not such a weakling anymore :o)
-
The last of the weight is the worst I'm told. I don't know I've never been there. I do plateau now and then as I am working out and I do one of 2 things: I eat the minimum and be lazy for ONE day. Super lazy, then hit it twice as hard the next day. Seems to reboot my metabolism and a day later I go back to losing my .2-.4…
-
ME2 - moved my off day from Monday to Friday that way if I do miss a day because I oversleep or (like last night) only sleep 2 hours, then I EARNED the rest day. I hit the gym harder on the weekends because I usually do not have to rush anywhere. I am extra grouchy when I dont get my workout too...

[/quote] I get it on here but not out and about. I even told my husband "I guess either every man in this area has been threaten by you, or I have "I'm married" tattooed on my forehead, or I'm just not attractive." I work as a Waitress, and still nothing... I even try for it haha... I'm very outgoing as well, and never…
-
This could be bad. I like a little attention because I'm working out and hey someone else notices. A honk across a parking lot or a hoochie whistle, whatever. Its an innocent little ego boost. Would I date a guy who did this? NO. But I don't mind a little noticing at all by men. I wouldn't mind it coming from a woman…
-
I think thats totally right. When I plateau I rest - eat less and exercise less OR eat more and exercise more. Kinda try to trick the body. I did a cleanse once just to detox my body that helped but you can't do that all the time. Sometimes its boredom. Your body gets used to something and you don't lose the same way…
-
Of course!!! Recycle & Reuse should apply to women & men too! It's good for the environment! (Laff) I'm not picky about history / baggage, we alllllllll have it and seriously we should all be proud of the trials & obstacles we've overcome. I don't have the right to be picky anyway.I'm divorced!

I have a toxic sister but I'm lucky enough to have 2 sisters and the other one is my most precious resource in healthy living. First off, the right thing is cut off the toxic sister. She sounds for whatever reason as if she cannot find her own identity without having you to trample on. Work hard. Every bad picture, snide…

I totally agree. When you make the right food choices (fresh veggies, fish, some fresh fruits, chicken, turkey) and not prepared meals (lean cuisine, smart ones, etc) 1200 can get to be a LOT more. When I look at quantity over cheesey saucey gooey, I tend to stay more on track and fuller longer. Sometimes I get to dinner…
