first, what does your doctor say. i'm a big advocate for checking in with your doctor to see how your blood work looks and what they think about your health. there will be many in your life that will want to discourage you and your lifestyle. if you choose to live a healthy lifestyle, there may be others from your past…

Cheering you on friend. I pray that you will retrain your heart and tastebuds so that you can break the need for high sugar foods. It can be done.....I've managed to do it. you CAN do this. Cheering you on!!! Jane

Do a hybrid of your Insanity that you have and your running. It works, why not do it???

there is nothing wrong with altering your goals for a short season. if we are honest, most of us have done that for the holidays. it's what we do with our actions after the season ends that is important. 2 pounds a month is nothing to sneeze at in weight loss. (remember, we are not on the Biggest Loser here, we are living…

for me it varies. sometimes none. sometimes 2 pounds. it all depends on how much i am exercising, and a what i am eating. if i am on top of my game, i have none. if i give into my cravings, then i gain. no different than any other time of the month for me.

this is pretty much what i do. potatoes are not processed like the white flours and sugars...processing removes nutrients. i do eat more sweet potatoes more than any others. and typically small, new red potatoes with the skin on. you can google Glycemic Index to find out more info on the sugars in foods. the big key is to…

December has proven to be challenging for many of us. there are lots of task to complete, to many events to attend, way to many distractions. know that we are all in the same boat. thankfully in 2 weeks the craziness will be done. the kiddos back in school. short days will be turning to longer days in January. yes, it will…

for me, i LOVE my Turbo Jam DVD's. easy on the body and able to be modified for any physical issues that anyone has. why do i do DVD's??? first, i was not getting any results at the Y and doing hours of biking and cardio. and the showers there....ewwww! i did the DVD's and got results fast! (20 pounds, 18.5 inches in 3…

i'm colder this winter, but the temps are about 20-30 lower than typical for December. and for about 7 years, i have been colder than i used to be. silk long johns (Cobella's are best!) are awesome.

i'm an old fuddy duty...i think you look GREAT! however i would not like you to wear that around my husband. IMO, your cleavage is for only your husband.

removing the junk foods and eating cleaner has made SOOO much difference in my attitude, as well as my fitness/scales. what we eat DOES matter. a BUNCH! cheering you on!

Law school is NOT easy...way to go! and YES...my life has gotten much simpler now that i am not focused on how much i can have and want. (even in these times, most of us don't NEED more of anything, esp if you are no the internet daily, we have more than we need) letting go of stuff that just needs cleaned, hasn't been…

some people have physical issues that keep them from moving the way that most do. a shoulder/arm issues would keep them from moving their upper body. or maybe their heart rate goes to high when moving both arms and legs. and yes, the bike just moves your legs, however, that movement may not work for their knees. i can't do…

so many different goals here, but all working toward our individual goals...unlike some of our "in real life" friends who aren't concerned with their health/weight. cheering you on to your goal! Jane
-
i am reading through the progress here. y'all have done GREAT! cheering all of you on!

i was about 177. this week 142.6! from a size 18 to 8's and 10's.
-
so, i haven't forgotten about this challenge. i have been posting a reminder on my page most days. it's turned out to be an interesting month with 2 funerals and the typical December/holiday madness. keep plugging away daily, we will get to Jan 1st and be back in full swing with our hearts and attitudes lined up together.…

lost my train of thought...what i have learned: accountability and that working out now that i am almost to goal is more mental than physical for me now. i need the mental boost to keep me from getting grouchy and to keep my head in the game that a healthy lifestyle is worth it.
-
first: you look GREAT! loved all your photos of your journey. second: our stories are similar. last year i was a size 18, and 30+ pounds heavier. i lost 10 pounds over the first 7 months, and 20+ pounds since July 12th. MFP and Turbo Jam have been two of my tools since July 12th. accountability is keeping me on…

i'm not a mommy :( ...but i have lost 60 pounds and i'm within 8 pounds of my goal weight and wearing 8's and 10's (down from my 20's!) i love to encourage others, so if you are interested, add me. cheering you on! Jane
-
LOTS of great advice here. i totally agree with others....now that you are at your goal, if you feel like you are finished, that you are to your goal, then you will end up where you were before. (i know i am speaking from personal experience.) for me i have done alot of soul searching as to why i always go back to my old…
-
wow, our journey's are very similar. thank you for sharing. a healthy lifestyle is not "when i get to my goal, i will ________"...i too have learned this lesson recently. cheering you on! Jane

our bodies require fuel. 24/7. yes, while we are sleeping we aren't burning as many calories as we are when we are doing cardio, but we are still burning calories. eat 4 meals a day with snacks in between. your body needs fuel just like a car does. you can't expect to get in a car in your home town in MI and get to me in…

i don't have PCOS, but i do have my share of hormone issues.... have not conceived and do have endometriosis. and i am 43, so in that category of "my metabolism is slow and i can't lose weight." here's my story in short: *Sept 07 i weighted in at 205 at my annual. (size 20) lost about 20 pounds through Dr. Ann Kulze eating…

your mind will follow your body...get to the gym (your daily goal!) and your mind will follow. (i am preaching this to myself too.) the shorter days, cold temps are making me want to eat carbs and white sugars/flours. and to sleep for days on end. resist the lies from satan, you CAN do this. focus/read and concentrate on…
-
2 hours of exercising is a LOT of stress on a body. yes, those on the Biggest Loser do it. but that is all they do: eat, exercise, get massages, sleep on special beds, use c-pap machines...and i'm sure many other behind the scenes stuff. that is their job/focus/only function while they are on the ranch...to lose weight.…
-
First, getting close to my goal and me thinking that i can stop doing what i am doing. i have done this in the past and before i know it, i'm back up again. THIS time, i have accountability. Fitness is my job, so i can't slack off. Second, with that said....i have noticed these past weeks being tougher than the past 5…

check back in with me after Christmas to let me know what Santa brought! Jane

this one i can SO relate to. last year i was wearing 18's. my 10's are not staying up so easily these days. i have bought some mix and match pieces this fall, and don't plan on wardrobe purchasing till spring/summer after i do ChaLEAN extreme. i'm ordering it next Wed, so it will be here and i will be doing it before…
-
wow...it's been busy around here. lots of stuff going on with my coaching, i was able to do a couple photo shoots, so i'm busy editing photos, there's a bunch of stuff going on Wed AND im trying to get a room painted in our home before the end of the week. whew! busy times, but i am sooo loving my life. KNOW that i am…
