Last night I actually slept!!! I took a Zumba class and had a volleyball game at 9:15pm (good grief at the game time, right?)...I got home right after 10 and took a hot shower...I was out like a light before 11pm!!! That was huge...maybe it was the hot shower? My body probably has no idea what the heck is going on...I've…

I only log actual, scheduled exercise, not daily, regular activities even though sometimes they make me sweat. But, that's just me. I chase a 4 and 2 year old around after working all day, but I'm not going to log "parenting"...and I also clean all the time. :) I think if it's strenuous enough, I can see why people would…

anyone? I didn't exercise this weekend and slept fine. Sigh...

I just started Level 2 today!

thanks so much!!!

awesome job, girl! you look great!

Thank you so much for posting this!!! Very informative!

Thanks for all the responses!

Great! Thanks for the response! :)

I agree! You are better than me...I can't even thinking about giving up bread...

I'm going to try to head to the shoe store this weekend and get fitted. Thank you all for the advice and info.

I do jog occasionally, but most of my exercise does come from aerobics classes and walking.

mainly where my arch is! :( it's more like throbbing pain. I have an active friend who says I need to go to an athletic shoe store in town that makes you do several types of tests (not sure what) to determine what type of shoe works best for your foot...I have yet to do this...I'm starting to think I should.

I use them to keep portions in check and/or get back on track after a few high calorie eating days. I read in one of my health magazines to keep an eye on the sodium content because it is VERY high in many of the meals. I like several types of Lean Cuisine meals, but mainly only eat them for lunch at work.

Thank you all so much!!! I have no idea why I didn't just search for kickboxing! :embarassed:

I am exactly the same and I'm over it!!! I give up if I've had one "bad" meal or don't make it to the gym! It's been an endless circle of failure for me up to this point. GOOD FOR YOU!!! :happy:

AGREE 100%!!!

staying at home with my kids and husband (who is off!!!). But, I'm at work. :(

Thanks for this!

I have this problem too. I have two kids ages 4 and almost 2. I've lost about 20 pounds since last summer. The crazy part is that I can wear a size 8 on my hips/legs, but they won't button over the pooch. So, I have to wear a 10 which is really a little big for my hips/thighs. SO ANNOYING! Thanks for posting...hoping to…

What an inspiration!!! I keep saying, I'm not a runner. But, I guess I'll never know if I don't try, right? C25K, here I come!

WOW!!! I wish I could respond to each and every post individually. Thank you all so much for sharing your stories and giving me advice. I apologize it took me until today to read this...food poisoning is the DEVIL!!! I've been sickly this week, but slowly starting to feel like myself again. I've had nothing to ea but…

Thank you! I adjusted my goal and it put me at 1500 calories.

For me, it was always the "diet" mindset that made me quit or give up. Now, I realized I was sabotaging myself. I have to be okay with days when I slip up and eat cake...that's life. But, it is a completely mental thing for me...so though I've been trying to lose weight for years, I've been terribly unsuccessful due to the…

I'm glad you posted this!!! I am struggling with the same issue now that I'm eating better and I'm just bloated and miserable from being backed up...

I need to know too...someone at the gym said major cardio. But, I've got a POUCH from my last baby...he was a BIG one. YUCK!

LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!!

I used Xendrine which used to have Ephedra in it to lose about 20 pounds before my wedding. This was about 8 years ago. I lost about 25 pounds. But, I remember being VERY hateful and short tempered when I took them. I also could not take the pills past late morning (11ish) because I would not sleep. After our wedding, I…
