Man, oh man. Trip down memory lane. I can relate. I started that when I was a young girl. I'd eat cake mix, etc. Long story short - I ended up switching from food to alcohol, then back to food. Even when I was married I'd hide food from my husband, cuz I didn't want to share. But the other posters are right, it goes deeper…

I read that. Makes you wonder. I know that anything "white" does that to me, so the only bread I eat is whole grain. Now it has me wondering,....

The "dreaded leg day". Why do you think we dread legs so much? I'm the same way. It's my strongest part, so you'd think I'd like it more. Your comment about your biceps made me laugh. I didn't used to wear sleeveless shirts, but the first time I did - the comments! People haven't seen my bare arms in a loooooong time. It…

Anyone read Oxygen magazine? I got a recipe for egg muffins out of the new one. Very good! Even my 14 year old daughter loved them. Easier than cooking egg whites every morning. I've made the pumpkin protein bars. Took them to work for snack. No one believed that it wasn't pumpkin bread. Had to fight the them off!

Count me in! Just filled out the form. Just what I need to keep me on track! I've been getting side tracked lately.

jamielr - I am trying to follow her nutrition plan. I was doing something similiar, so it's not a big adjustment for me. The thing I struggle with the carbs and not eating enough. So, this is a lot of food for me. Getting used to it though. My biggest hurdle right now is dinner. Things get so busy at night! I always seem…

Hi Guys! Decided to do week 2 again, since I missed half of it last week! It has taught me one thing though - plan, plan, plan. I've decided even if I have to go to the gym at 10pm I'm going. I'm so used to being in a hurry to get to spin class that since I'm not doing it, it's easier to let things get in the way. I was…

jayjaxjaq - You're right, we are all probably in a different place - on weights. Most women tend too go light though. They either don't realize how strong they really are or have always been taught to lift light weights. Form is so important! It does make a difference. I tend to go a little slower on some exercises to make…

Week 1 Day 3 yesterday. I wasn't really sure about the weight on the leg press, so guessed and then added. Wasn't really sore this morning when I woke up, but it's already getting starting. Shoulders & abs tonight - and a softball game at 9. Hopefully I can still move at game time!

I started LiveFit yesterday. I was going to do the New Rules of Lifting for Women, but it just didn't seem to "do it" for me. Jaimie's program seems to be it. It's almost like what I used to do with the trainer. Wasn't too sore this morning, but as the day goes on....... I guess tomorrow it will be worse. I am following…

I started Jamie's Livefit program yesterday. It will be hard to do no cardio. Love spin class! My diet pretty much follows her program anyway. (when I do it that is) That's why I decided to try her program. I just seem to be spinning my wheels. I love weight training and cardio mix. I was working with a personal trainer at…
