Hi girls! It's so wonderful to see the progress here... Mamakisses! YOU GO GIRL! :) I haven't been working out this week because I've been adjusting to the meds... But I sure will shake my tailfeather this week. I miss my P90X. :) You girls rock! Mina

Hey girls! I'm back! I'm so sorry I was away for a while. There's been a lot going on. I had to go through a battery of medical tests and just got diagnosed with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (found over a dozen cysts in each ovary), with a side order of Anemia and Hyperinsulinemia. It's treatable and I'm already on…

Hello all you beeyootiful women! I'm BAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK! KONICHIWAAAAAAA! It's nice to see so many new people. :) Good luck to everyone. You'll find this is an awesome group of gals. And it really helps to "workout" with a group. :) JEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNYYYYYYY oh please don't be sad! I completely feel for ya, honey…

TABBY & SANDY - Oh please do take care of your injuries girls. Don't push it too hard. I was ignoring what my body was telling me and I woke up on Thursday morning with my head spinning. Doc said it was "exhaustion". Take care of yourselves! CRYSTAL - Congrats of Fearless Leader!! I'm sure you'll kick *kitten*! :)…

Thanks girls! It's was really hard to fight off my sugar cravings, but it's definitely getting easier. And I'm working on consuming the right amount of calories for my body. I don't want to go into starvation mode! Please take care of yourselves girls. Don't let the injuries get to you. I seems there are so many of us who…

Hey you! Long time no "talk"! I'm so sorry to hear about your grandma. :( I hope things get better for you. I know what you mean about Barry... I love him, but I find myself totally neglecting him. At the end of the day, we just have to MOVE right??? And yes, Jillian is AWESOME. I always find that I burn more with Jillian…

Hi girls! I just posted the challenge in the google doc: 20 jump squats 20 plank jacks 20 walking lunges 1 min plank I'm sure y'all can do it! :) I hope everyone had a great weekend is having a better week. Last chance workout tom for me! I'm going to be doing an hour and a half of yoga and hopefully 30 min to an hour of…

Hey AMANDA! Walk away from the snacks! Just say no! Haha. I think you're on the right track. Try to distract yourself. In this book I'm reading it suggests that when you get an URGE try doing five different things to keep yourself busy and your mind off the snacking: exercise, chores, visit this forum, etc... And usually…

Tabby - Walking is a great place to start! Any movement is great place to start. It will clear your head! Just keep moving. :) And let us know how your doing. Take care!

What's everyone else doing for Last Chance Workout? How do y'all prep for weigh ins?

Hey Gorgeous Gals! Thanks for all the low carb tips. I'll be sure to watch out and listen to my body. I'm just sooooo annoyed my weight hasn't budged in MONTHS. I mean yeah one or two pound down, then one or two pounds up. I know I'm not doing something right even if I log all my calories and work out like mad. Oh well. So…

Hey girls! I emotionally ate today. Like nobody's business kind of emotionally eating. HA! I had a cookie. And deep fried pork. And white rice. And milk with sugar! Good lordy lord. I estimated I ate about 2000 calories but it was probably more. Oh well... We win some... I'll just start over tom and see if I can squeeze in…

Hey Girls! I see some great progress! Keep it up. Tabby - glad to know that you're trying the weighing everyday thing out. Just remember not to obsess or stress out. They're just numbers. HA! Numbers that help you keep track of your progress that is... :) Connie, congrats on your RUN! WOOHOO! Crystal, logging food really…

Hey girls! Sounds like the weekend is doing good for some of us. Jenny I'm happy to hear about your hubby and good luck with the garage sale! Connie, I'm sure you'll like your new place. It's just a matter of getting used to it right? No worries about the ice cream! I had some myself today. YUM. Haha! And girls I have to…

Hey GIrl! I'm so sorry I've been so negligent! I've been crazy busy lately. But I just wanted to say Hi. I've actually started doing P90X this week. WOOHOO. But I on strength days I feel like I need more cardio so I sometimes do some Barry in between. I've done Barry only 3 times this week. But I think it's all good. I…

Hello FABULOUS WOMEN! To Jenny and Laura - I'm so sorry to hear about your situations. I completely feel for you. I have a full-time job but my hubbie owns his own business so he so feels the recession. He does import/export so the exchange rates are killing him. But I always tell him, what doesn't kill ya, makes you…

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY TO YOU FABULOUS MOMMIES! I'M BAAAAAACK! The Fashion Festival finally ended yesterday with a Anglomanic show by Vivienne Westwood. And now that my crazy schedule is back to semi-crazy I can finally get back on track. I'm sorry I haven't been able to catch up with the posts but I hope you girls are all…

Hi Girls! Sorry I haven't been checking in a while. It's been crazy at the office. Had a big event last Friday, and this week we're closing. Deadlines are killer man. I worked out over the weekend, but my eating has been terrible. I hope to get some workouts in this week despite working late in the office. It's Fashion…

HEY ALL YOU GORGEOUS WOMEN! Sorry if I've been a little out of it. Been super busy with work. Deadline week (otherwise known as HELL week) plus we had a major event yesterday. But all's good and well. :) So proud of everyone for losing so much weight. WAY TO GO LAURA! You girls are so freaking fabulous it boggles the mind.…

Hi Andrea! I completely feel you. It's like I was reading about me when I read your post. I'm a certified true yo-yo dieter. And I struggle with my eating and working out and weight every single day. I've been back on track for over a month now, and I'm determined to finally get rid of this extra 80lbs I've accumulated.…

Hey! Just checking in: How has Barry been treating you. I have to admit that I've been mixing it up this week and not doing as much Barry as I'd like. I think this week I'm going Barry a bit more. I didn't work out this morning, but tonight I think I want to do BBC Red, arms, abs and legs. I'm still doing the beginner…

I've been the Shred for quite some time now and I completely agree that she can really work you in 25min. Normally, I will burn around 250cals with her. And my sweat will be dripping. I'm on Level 2 now but I think i will be going up to Level 3 this week. It's awesome how you can feel yourself getting stronger each time.…

Hi all! I have two Polar products. One is the FA20, which is an activity computer. It's not a heart rate monitor, but it measures your activity throughout the day. It's basically a glorified pedometer. I wear it throughout the day to remind myself to hit my target of 90 minutes of activity (which means, walking, climbing…

This is going to sound funny but... Kim Kardashian. :laugh: I'm only 5feet tall and have always been curvy so I figure Kim's curves are the most attainable for me. But if I could have it my way, I would have been born Brazilian. Ha!

Hey Sandy! I don't think you're gross. I think you're FABULOUS!! 150's here you come!!!

HELLO ALL YOU GORGEOUS WOMEN! I'm really struggling this weekend especially since my numbers didn't budge this week, but you all are so supportive, it makes it so much easier to keep going. JENNY - I think you should write to Oprah or something. GAWD. That woman! I want to give her a piece of my mind. Don't sweat it Jen,…

Hey! Personally, I like to intersperse my workout videos with time on my elliptical trainer and step machine. Instead on sitting on my butt while watching TV (Biggest Loser and American Idol) or a movie (Twilight, anyone?), I get on a machine so I can burn calories while getting my dose of entertainment. I tend to burn a…

That's awesome news! Congrats!

YAY FOR YOU! WOOHOO!! That's awesome. :)

Awesome! Good to know. I've been doing the shred maybe 3 times a week now and I supplement with other exercise (elliptical, other DVDs like Barry's Bootcamp, gym, etc). But I really want to do the shred daily in the mornings before work. It's so convenient because it's only 20 min. I'm on level 2 know. I think I might…
