I usually recommend the flu shot because as someone else mentioned, if you get sick after you had the flu shot, you generally do not get as sick as those who did not get the shot. Also, if you work or spend a lot of time in common areas like grocery stores, schools, hospitals or other places where there are a lot of people…

YUM! I can't wait to try those! And I even saw a link for carrot cake too! Thanks!!

Good luck to all the newbies! I am not new but I have a lot of weight to get rid of too!!! WE CAN DO IT! :laugh: How's that for motivation?

Welcome and good luck! :smile:

I saw results with 30 day shred...its a great DVD!

WAY TO GO!!! I am a Diet Coke drinker and the only time I was able to "give it up" was when I was pregnant or nursing! Its so tough! I love it so much!

LOL...I have tried and tried and tried to give up Diet Coke...so far it hasn't worked....

Can you do the Ab Burner first? I had to do that with P90x, after doing the arms or legs work out I did not feel like doing ABs so I did the Ab Ripper X first.... Hope that helps.

Welcome! :happy:

I know how you feel! I worked out really good last week and not so good over the weekend and GAINED a pound! My goal is to lose 40-45 lbs in however much time it takes! I will be happy if I can lose 15 by Christmas! We can do it!!! Keep logging, keep working out and it'll happen right?!!! :happy:

Way to go!!!

My mom has a gluten allergy too! Have you tried Quinoa? Its gluten free and can be seasoned to be very yummy! I think its really good for you too!

I was thinking #1 was good, but its most obese so we got worse, LOL.... but not much worse I guess..

I see LA as 5th too

Illinois is 26, last year it was 27 so I guess that's an improvement! :noway:

I think I am going to have to try the running shorts with the built in liner because I had the SAME problem the other day on the TREADMILL!!!

Way to go! You look GREAT!

I have a pair of jeans that are SO OLD and ugly but so comfy (when they fit!) and I can't wait to put them on again! Even if I just put them on to wear around the house, fitting in them is the goal! :happy:

You need a set free weights, yoga mat, pullup bar or band, and you need a space big enough to lay down fully extended and roll over a couple times (its in a workout.) Some workouts you need a chair or stool (like a bar stool) I hope that helps!

I need you too! Lets hold each other accountable! :) WE CAN DO IT!!!!

first of all, I LOVE the Elliptical! A few years back I worked out on the elliptical every day for about 45 minutes and lost a lot of weight (in combination with a balanced diet of course...) I did feel that I plateaued and I think that's why I stopped working out for a while, so that would be my only concern. You need to…

DON'T GET CIGARETTES! You can go to the pizza place for a break if you need one, maybe there is something other than pizza that you can get?!? Good luck! We all need a little help some times! I have been there! Let me know if you need any more pep talks!

I want to be in a 10 by Christmas!!

have any of you tried Emealz? my family of 3 does the low fat meal for 2 (walmart) and it has saved us a lot of money! (and we usually have leftovers for lunch!) check it out if you are interested! http://e-mealz.com/amember/go.php?r=103591&i=l0

Great job!!!

I would say like the rest, do the most of each exercise as you can (write it down) and push yourself to do more next time. I sometimes have to modify some of the harder moves for me but as long as you are trying your best it gets easier each time you do it! I had a hard time when I first started to do it everyday because I…

I try to look the food up BEFORE going and if they don't offer the nutrition info, I either don't go or pick something that sounds close in the database.

I had bought a pair and wore them a couple times and my legs did get sore...I didn't keep them because they ended up being too big but for the time or two that I wore them they seemed to be doing something....

I usually gain during the TOM...anywhere from 2-4 lbs...I think its mostly water weight though but not sure because I usually crave lots of salt and sugar....

My fiancee loves that show! He has some great ideas and its a real eye opener seeing what those people are eating!
