LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this show! And my kids love it too!

I just meant that I don't think I'll be able to stay 235#, 5'1" and be down to a size 8. I do know that a lot of fit people who lift heavy weigh more than what they look like they weigh (hope that makes sense) and I was not trying to offend or upset anyone. But at my height and weight right now I just don't see how only…

Every morning, naked, after using the bathroom. I only log it once a week or when I'm done with a "section" or a program. Like Sunday I'll log it (hopefully it'll show a loss) because I'll be finished with workout 3 of ripped in 30. I feel if I weigh every day I can stay on top of it. Not that it's helping me out this week…

I mix them in with meat and seasoning for tacos, or on salads (especially southwest type salads), or over yellow rice, or in soup, or if I'm too lazy for that and hungry I just open a can drain and rinse and eat them. I do like some of these suggestions though so I'll be trying them some new tasty ways :happy:

I like turkey bacon. I like real bacon. Is the Salmon bacon for real? I think it would taste yummy but I love salmon. So if this isn't a joke, buy more so I can start getting it in my state :laugh:

I have been wondering the same thing lately. I want to start lifting weights but I still have over 100lbs to lose. Didn't know if it would really help with weight loss. Yes, I want to lose fat and inches but seriously...(*IMO*) a person who weighs over 200lbs is never going to be a size 8...at least not at 5'1" so I do…

Great job!

Thanks! I have been thinking of getting this book too. Guess I need to just break down and buy it, it seems a lot of women on here have had GREAT results using this...and strength/weight training in general

I'm curious too. Especially since I'm ready to start a lifting routine but I'm so confused with all the options and choices I don't even know where to start

My brother is getting married for the second time and they are having a small ceremony. They are dressing up for it (wedding gown, tux, etc) but on their invitations they put something along the lines of "We are fortunate enough to have everything necessary to start our lives together, so we sincerely request no gifts."…

My children's school is the same way. If he wants just a drink to go with his lunch he has to buy the whole lunch which makes me crazy! They doesn't want the lunch. When they do get a lunch they usually give most of it away or throw it away because they say it's just gross. There are a few items they like but not many. My…

I'm starting workout 3 of RI30 tomorrow morning. I could not get the ab/table thing she does in the workout 2 second circuit. I did the best I could but I didn't do it right. I like the workout, I like that I only do each one for 5 days instead of 10 so I don't get as bored with it. And it kicks my *kitten* everytime. I…

Used to live there and now I live in TN. But my whole family lives there (parents in St. Augustine, brother in Jax, and another brother in Altamonte Springs) And I am now the proud owner of season tickets to the Jags games so I plan on going down there a lot this season :happy: I was born and grew up mostly in Tampa, then…

I know you can change things under settings so I don't see why you can't change your sodium.

Sounds like you need a new friend. I understand completely how hard it is to meet people, male or female-friend or more, but it can be done. And it sounds like she needs to grow the hell up. If she's as bad as you say I don't understand how she can even get a guy to stick around for a while. Never mind, I know why, but…

I do because my dad says he fell in love with my mom the first time he saw her (she was 14 and he was 17). They've been together for 37 years now :heart: I don't because I've never experienced it. However, I have experienced lust at first sight which has led to what I felt was love after a period of time. Not really sure…

:laugh: I find this hilarious because that's what people tell me about finding a guy. Of course the people who tell me this are the married/in a long term relationship ones :grumble: I quit looking so long ago I wouldn't even notice if one was interested now

I'm 36, a full time grad student, single parent to 2 kids (have to drive them everywhere this summer, canNOT wait for school to start again, lol) and I work. I only have to drive 30 mins to school though. I do it by getting up early in the morning and working out before I do anything else. If I wait until later in the day…

Not the coffee since I don't like it and I don't drink caffeine (or rarely drink it) but I notice when I exercise I don't usually eat all my calories. I've been under by huge amounts all week but I'll probably make up for it this weekend :laugh:

I'm not sure about anyone else but I've been looking into it only because going to a gym intimidates me with the way I look right now and the fact that I don't know what the heck I'm doing with free weights. Plus, I live in a really small apartment so I wouldn't need to buy a bunch of equipment to take up space I don't…

I'm going to take advantage of the free personal training sessions I get through my university so I can start lifting heavy. I'm ready to get rid of my "padding" and start looking fit and hot again and I think heavy lifting is going to be just what I need. Ya know, along with diet and cardio :laugh:

After a while it just becomes second nature to log everything you eat and when you see the little bar move along your ticker telling you how much you've lost it's a great feeling. Just wish mine would move faster :laugh:

Don't know if it's been suggested yet but there are breads out that have more fiber in them, also fiber one makes great tasting cereal, yogurt, bars, muffins, even brownies and they are packed with fiber but not the cardboard taste. There are also fiber supplements that you can mix into drinks and they (supposedly) don't…

Thank you for this

I'm such a dork! I didn't realize I was logged in on my son's account! :laugh: :blushing:

HA! I'm in the same boat. I usually read when I have the chance, go to the library, clean out the box of "junk stuff" I keep in there all semester...or sleep when I can. Since I'm taking classes this summer I think I'll just be working out and studying/homework. Yes, I'm extremely boring and have no life at all. Hopefully…

I'm a single mom to 2 boys, 12 and 14. I completely agree with the person who said you'd think it'd be easier the older they get. But it doesn't, at least for me, lol. Both are active in sports and between work, school, and my kids I don't have time for much. I'm either having to drop them off, pick them up, or break up a…

I want to start running too...OK, I don't but my oldest son wants to so I'm willing to give it a go. However, I HATE running! Stuff on me doesn't jiggle, it bounces. Like crazy...boobs, belly, butt...it's like my body is trying to beat the hell out of me for making it run :laugh: I was thinking of asking this same question…

I've been kind of doing this myself and it was working until I started working out again. Now I've gained 3lbs in a week and want to scream. Maybe this will help me be a little more structured with it and hopefully I'll see results. When you do this are you really exercising or saying you're exercising so you know to eat…

I've been coloring my hair forever, from reds to blacks...my natural color is black. I'm going blonde myself but I'm going to a professional. I'm pretty brave but I also like having hair on my head and I know the bleaching process is really harsh on my hair and I want to make sure I still have hair when I'm done :laugh:
