sorry for being MIA these past few days. had some personal things going on. know that i am cheering ALL of you on to a healthy lifestyle. one push up at a time! one choice at a time. together we will all be healthier. Jane

know your why...why do you want to lose weight. focus on that. (it may change as the pounds come off, but always know your current why) focus on lifestyle changes and not quick fixes. if you plan to go back to your old habits once you get to your goal, then you will end up back were you started. cheering you on!! Jane

thank you....i needed this today! Jane

i had whole wheat spaghetti with red sauce and steamed broccoli. ...eating meatless today. will have protein, just not in the meat forms, allowing for more volume/calories through fruits and veggies. i attempt this once a week for a leaner eating day. Jane

first, don't worry about your weight when you are sick. worry does nothing good for our bodies. nothing. we WILL get sick from time to time. germs happen. life happens. you have to accept it. what isn't acceptable is our binging because we are sick or sad. dealing with emotions and the way our bodies feel is the way to a…

i quit smoking cold turnkey on March 18th, 1999. i put that cigarette out telling Jesus that He would no longer smoke through my body. that whatever he wanted for me, i would do. my Husband, took Chantix. he set his stop smoking date according to his work schedule, he wanted a couple days off for his start date. he took…

some of us don't log every calorie. what i have found is that i don't have to log it all. but i don't want to hide. anything in my life.

do the hard work. hard work is SOOOO rewarding!!! think of how empowered you are when you are making good choices and are working out. and KNOW your why. WHY do you want to lose weight. it can't be for someone else. it needs to be for you and your health. no matter what. when you focus on your health, educate yourself…

also, trying a totally new workout routine may get the job done for you.

one thin i have to ask: is your goal realistic? what does your doctor thing about your current weight? are you happy with the way your body looks? are you happy with the way your clothing fits? if you like the way you look, then throw the scales out the window. the number is just a number. i have not worn this size in…

i love questions like this....why is it that we have to eat "breakfast" foods for breakfast??? so many times people say they don't like eggs, what can i eat for breakfast.....the answer: ANYTHING. healthy food is healthy food. i have been known to eat leftovers from the night before. at this time i tend to eat either an…

to take care of my Temple.....for God, for me, for my health, for my family, to be an example to all those that cross my path.

sending you a request.

great advice! i have gotten to where i can drink my green tea without sugar in the raw or honey. and LOVE it that way. not my coffee yet, so i have my coffee with my Shakeology to avoid those extra calories. the issues that i had with honey for a sore throat are these: i have sore throats daily because of my allergies and…

you should mix up your routine every 6-12 weeks. if you mix it up now, you won't have to fight to get off a plateau. your muscles will get used to that routine and you won't get the full benefit. there are lots of cardio options available other than running. every DVD set from Beachbody has cardio with it. or many cardio…

great advice. so many times we focus on the scales and not what the tape measure says. as long as you are noticing change there, i would relax. i too am getting close to my goal. (only 10 pounds and one pant size left for me.) the scales are going slow. but i'm okay with that. my goal weight is just part of my formula. i…

Day 7!!! we ARE doing this. all in our different ways, patterns, styles..but we ARE doing this. last weekend you did no push ups. This weekend you DID! wooohooo! http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/turbojanem/view/nov-7th-push-up-challenge-48337 please check out today's blog. cheering you all on! Jane

sounds like a GREAT plan. when i plan, i do sooo much better. you may want to go with some raw peppers, cucumbers, zucchini for your snack instead of the fruit....fewer calories. one day of exchanging more veggies than fruit won't throw your balance of fruit/veggies for the day. planning works!!!

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/turbojanem/view/nov-5th-push-up-challenge-48200 cheering you all on! together we will all be fit and healthy.

i agree. when you know you are gonna be having a big burn, eat more. before, during and after. planning for big burns is as important as planing on going to a party. planning works.

i know it's supposed to be easy on the knees, but for mine, it is painful, and with my short height, i have lots of pain when doing and elliptical. proof that it's not the best for everyone. for me two pieces of equipment worked to get me lower in weight so that i could do more impact activities pain free: a stationary…

two things: first nutrition. make sure you are really eating smart...lean proteins, veggies, reduce your tropical fruits, eat lots of colorful foods, remove all processed foods, reduce your condiments and cheese, watch the sugars and salts in low fat foods, and remove anything that has HFCS. removes juices (eat real…

i agree with Vickie...you might want to have your doc's office give you a reading or two before your visit. ...since it is lower than your typical BP. ...no matter how low our BP runs for us, if yours is low for you, you need to get it checked.

sooo proud of you! you CAN hold your own body weight. isn't it an awesome feeling to do something we thought impossible? cheering you on! Jane

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/turbojanem/view/nov-4th-push-up-challenge-48072 LOVE all the progress!!! push ups...who knew that they could be so motivating!?! cheering you all on!!!

love my Turbo Jam, great for beginners. as is the Slim in 6. i'm getting ready to take it to the next level with ChaLEAN Extreme. hope this info helps you.

lots of great advice here. being below your calorie count is not enough info for us. are you eating below 1200 calories, or 200 below your exercise calories plus your base calories? you HAVE to have enough calories to fuel your body. if you are exercising 2 times a day, you must monitor your intake closely to have enough…

LOVE this!!! we can ALL learn from you! thanks for sharing.

there are lots of detox stuff out there. i recommend one that has good calories/vitamins/real foods so that your body doesn't shut down on you with a lack of calories. it is also not good to do them for long periods of time. there is the Shakeology cleanse, Shakeology being only 140 calories and 70+ ingredients. message me…

i don't have any idea. have you googled it to see what you can find. depending on what it is colored with, it may be just white rice. kinda like the basil pasta that is white pasta with a touch of basil to make it green. not healthy, but colorful. education is the key. reading labels and the internet help a ton. (keep in…
