Genetics defintely but not without help. I dunno how to add pictures but here's a link. http://www.mamamia.com.au/social/victoria%e2%80%99s-secret-models-without-photoshop/ They actually look like normal people here. :)

I think you could burn that much with Insanity, but it would be really hard on your joints and you would need to wear a heart rate monitor. I might have to do the workout twice a day (do not recomend it)

Skinny Cow chocolate ... :ohwell:

Lavash bread (hispanic isle at Wal Mart) has 100 calories per sheet and you microwave it for 2 minutes, take it out to air (it will get crispy) and break it up and use with salsa. PS: I love the flax seed kind. And it has like 10 g of protein

I do Zumba too and it also depends on the instructor. I have one instructor that makes the moves more intense and another who is more hip hoppy and I don't feel like I'm getting the same workout with both. I don't have a heart rate monitor but I never go with the website calories burned I substract 150-200 to be on the…

Got it ... protein+weight training ... and maintain a calories deficit! :bigsmile:

If you want to be that accurate, you should wear a heart rate monitor 24 hours a day. I used your example, to average it. If you are that active to have extra 1000 calories per or more per day really you can rest 2 days a week. Actually most intense exersise programs recommend a day or 2 of rest. That does not mean you are…

700 calories more a week averages 100 calories a day. If you have a deficit, 100 calories a day is not going to cause you to gain or not loose.

I really thought I was clear on this before. I do log my execise every time I do it and I was eating the calories back (most of the time). I have reached my weight loss goal, and now I would like to lower my body fat. If I eat my exercie calories, is that mean I do not burn fat, I burn calories I eat only? I was just about…

I LOVE creamer, but I decided it's not worth all the calories every morning... so now I buy flavored coffee and use half and half or 1% milk.

Insanity is great at targeting the abs... go for it!

If anyone picks you up at the gym and asks you on a date, how surprised is he gonna be (pleasantly I'm guessing) when he takes you out and you look all made up and dressed up? That's one good thing about meeting someone at the gym ...you get that dissapointing-moment-when-he-sees-you-without-make-up-for-the-first-time…

I'm doing several other things I still work it in some weeks. I'm thinking of starting it over and do the whole thing again (in anticipation of the holiday cheating days). 3 to 4 times a week should work fine if you can do that. You are suppose to take rest days. Keep it up and you WILL see results. I love the combination…

My birthday ... going to a Redskins game with my girlfriends for a b-day bash ...I'm so excited I'm gonna burst, got the tickets today!

I just took mine outta the oven and they are not like the pictures... can;t figure out what have I done wrong.... I think 320 is low to bake at.

I'm home with a sick kid... seeing this recipe is a sign I should be baking :ohwell:

I lost a human head and a rack of bb ribs .... I need to loose another rack and I'm good. SO if you want to loose 8 pounds fast all you need to do is loose your head :)

Wow ... you look amazing! Congrats! Inspirational journey!

NEVER GIVE IN ... My son is 6 too and it was a little phase he went through... anything I said, do your homework, get ready for soccer, get in the shower....he would just make these whinny sounds... uugghh ... I was very serious he would still have to do what I told him and made it clear that was not appropriate ... I told…

You can't expect to loose 10 punds every week. As long as you are loosing you shouldn't worry so much ... think of your average/week ... and 1 pound is not so bad...you do need to eat your calories though ...

Wow you look beautiful and healthy ... Congratulations are in order! :) You are an inspiration!

what did you log it as? what kind of exercise?

This picture was taken on my vacation in Holland. In the vacation village (family oriented) they had this trampoline that only allowed people 80 kg or under...I was the only adult on it ... felt really good about it.

Rollerskate, hike, read, movies, zumba (I know it's a workout but I consider it fun, I play it on xbox too, so it's a game :), but mostly I have fun being a mom to my 7 year old, he's a trip!

Ashlee Simpson - Outta my head ... I know right?

Also, make the decision to only cheat on the days you exercise.

Don't plan cheat days... cuz then you will cheat for sure... even when we have girls night out at Chili's I still try mot to cheat ... have a light lunch, drink light beer, only eat a couple of fries or wings... we got pretzels last time...and I literally just had a bite of one without sauce ... just have a taste, don't…

Done with 16 pounds weight and 50 jumping jacks in between each set of 50 ...and logged as circuit training :)

^^^^That's a good one!

That's a good one!
