okay so what if you dont have gym equipment... or a gym near by what can you do at home?? I know I need to add in strength training but what? I am doing insanity right now.

I had a salad with the veggies from my garden, grilled chicken with picante on it.

moderation is always key. When you do have Pizza have only the serving recommended not 3-4 slices or whatever. I think of course it is blowing the workout it for the day if someone tons eats junk. But I also think a person doesnt need to be completely restricted all the time, other wise it because a battle of will.

I wasnt ready to take personal responsiblity for my actions.. When I deciced I was ready for a change, it came. :)

I have been at a plateau for almost a year. I havent given up, keep switching it up and tring new things. Its frustrating believe me. 50 pounds gone in two years. Not one month never 18 pounds in one month, it has been dreadfully slow 1-2 pounds weekly sometimes monthly.

^^^ THIS^^^ I am the same :happy:

yup yup yup we do it together go thru everything see what we need. as long as he has popcorn he is good. LOL which is fine by me too! Sometimes I'll let him go it alone but then I spend extra time going back to the store. LOL

getting in shape and toning, dont mind muscles but not after looking built.

Me too :sad: terrible so terrible

I get odd readings if I am walking and my arms are straight down swinging.. lower than the strap it will keep searching... but if I keep at a good pace and my arms bent, not only to my fingers not swell as much but I get a consistant reading,each time.

Hi Julia, I'm Julia. Add me if you like

sweets! for the past few weeks I cannot get past it. I had 3 cupcakes today. Lucky they were low can and yummy but I could not resist. i had my hubby toss them for me into the bottom of the trash. I am usually not a big sweet eater. Def emotional eating as well. Bored, happy, sad, mad ugh

everything I have read is eat withing a few hours of working out either before or after. Especially protiens to repair muscles. I eat afterwards like an hour later.

oh that would be so YUM! never did it , but I so love oreos and mik especially when they are soggy LOL

When I am at home by myself at night I set traps for the "boogie man", I'll get all the pots and pans out and line the door ways with them so I can hear some one is coming! LOL. I get those random thoughts in the shower only when I am washing my hair and my eyes are closed that someone is there and ready to get me when I…

I am with everyone else time and place be appropriate, and if your at a family venue and your showing to much cleavage then expect the comments and remarks. It is going to happen. If it doesnt bother you then good, if it does then cover up. Who's to say what is too much is up for whom ever is looking I guess. I work with…

Oh am I glad to see this thread. I thought I was the only one who couldnt do a push up, now I can do 4 whoop whooop! LOL. Okay my question is, did you repeat month 1 before moving on? I do all of the work outs but break alot especially in the last half of the workouts. Small like 5 second breaks to complete lay out in the…

I am an RN going to be going back to school for NP ..*sigh* I have to work up the motivation for all that torture again.. Good luck!

me ! no weight loss but an inch in my waist. frustrating! Started week four this AM using HRM to track caloires. Goning to kick up a bit and do some strength and running too. :) maybe that'll help

Good luck... I definately understand. I had to make me important. Stop taking care of everyone else and make me number one or I couldnt be here with the energy to take care of everyone else. You have to make time and plan for you. If it involves telling someone NO then so be it. You have to be happy to. Make time for…
