  • Wow, this group is unbelievable! Hoping to figure out how to carve out time for staying more connected and caught up. You all are so interesting and supportive and fun! I'm never going to get to know you if I don't get on here for more than 60 seconds to log activity. But I'm finding a rhythm maybe :) I've at least logged…

  • So yesterday was a bust...woke up yucky. BP was 140/102 (I have not been diagnosed hypertensive and am not on meds). I have a stressful job - I manage a customer service department of 60. I LOVE LOVE LOVE black coffee. Caffiene and stress are definite triggers as well as job when I don't manage it. Add to that a stressful…

  • Hi ladies! Sherry here. May was my "get my feet wet again" month. Very busy with my baby graduating high school, her ROTC awards ceremony, prom, shipping her boyfriend off to Marines, and I took the time to create my plan and get there mentally. Super stoked. Clean (mostly) eating, HIIT three times weekly, yoga daily, and…

  • I never had "the talk" but opted instead to answer every question honestly, with an age appropriate answer. And sometimes, it isn't even a question, but a comment, and that comment is an open door for honesty and truth (age appropriate). I have a 24 year old who is married 5 years (yeah i know-young) but no kids, no…

  • I LOVE Hooping! I also love sitcoms. When I watch my favorite(s) I hoop so I don't feel guilty about sitting on the couch, lol. At first I couldn't hoop 5 minutes. Now I can manuever that thing up and down my waist, walk with it. LOVE IT ! My daughter gave me a set (the big one, and 2 arm ones) for my birthday a couple…

  • A protein bar on the run between meals will take the edge off.....look for those that have 20g protein....you won't be hungry for a while.
    in BREAKFAST HELP! DESPERATE! Comment by luvinlife2012 August 2012
  • Make your goals specific, write them down, know your numbers, make one change at a time until it becomes a habit. Exactly how much do want to lose on the scale? What's your BMI? Your BMR? Your WHR? Don't be influenced by outside stimuli. How will you benefit from weight loss? Not until I was diagnosed with cancer was I "on…
    in Nothing really motivates me. Help!!! Comment by luvinlife2012 July 2012
  • Have you calculated your BMR ? I was not eating enough calories either. Once you know your bmr, you can adjust your caloric intake bases on your level of activity. Hope that helps. It really made a difference for me. Also, do go just by the scale. What are the non scale victories?

    in Weight Goals Reached - NOW WHAT? Comment by luvinlife2012 July 2012
  • I will start this today and do it for the July challenge and see if I can get greater results. Now that I have made it to nearly half my weight loss goal, I have a greater focus on BMI and WHR.

  • Water weighted fitness hoops
    in Do core workouts everyday! Comment by luvinlife2012 July 2012
  • With severely weak core muscles, a water weighted fitness hoop is an excellent place to start. You will work up a sweat and work your core muscles hard and you feel prett quick results.
    in Do core workouts everyday! Comment by luvinlife2012 July 2012
  • Fitness hoops will take 2-4 inches off your waist per month, I got mine at http://www.amazingfitnesshoops.com, they are weighted with water and padded for comfort and are a serious cardio/core workout while strengthening your abs. I have 50 pounds to go and can already see definition.

  • Everyone pretty much said it all. Take small steps. It took a while to gain it, just think about right now. The simplest thing to do....eat less, move more. There were some great suggestions on working out with your injuries....just keep going forward. Track your food, track your movement. Walking just a short distance.…
