Well, a few "Aha" moments that have been slowly burrowing in my brain over the years: 1. My sister in law told me "Maybe you are just not meant to be a skinny person" 2. 10 years ago the first comment from new people that met me was, "Wow, your wife is hot/beautiful/pretty", to "Wow, your wife is so nice" 3. My son saying,…

Wonderful story, great inspiration!

in my experience (I am a dermatology RN) is to use either over-the-counter hydrocortisone three times daily after bites, or go to your dermatologist and tell them about the allergy and they can give you something stronger to apply to focal bites. My other suggestion is to take a Claritin or Zyrtec EVERYDAY during the…

Bump! Sounds great, always looking for recipes:smile:

HEHEHEHE......After I was done working out yesterday, I couldn't find my dog, and she was laying in the dark on our bathroom rug.......I think she god scared that I was moaning and groaning and screaming at the TV LOL...............

Hi Ladies! I don't do the shred ( I have done the workouts before, but not following the program) I do Chalean Extreme.....but I support Karma ( hey honey) and I have to say, you ladies are SUPER AWESOME AND BRAVE to post your before pics and measurments.... I could never do that! I made my hubby take pics and immediately…

For the Burn phase, the fatigue is between 10-12 reps, so if you are doing all 12, but feel like you are done, than it's perfect! My back is much stronger than my arms, so I use 8lbs for my arms, and 10's for the back exercises.....For the cardio you are supposed to build up endurance, so the weights should be much…

Good Morning my Extremers! I did Burn Intervals and Ab Burner (well, half of it lol) and MAN it's no joke! I was DYING......those Sumo burpees:explode: OH BOY! I can't wait until 2 wks from now when I say, "I thought that was hard, and look how much I can do now"..........

OMG that made me laugh SO hard:laugh:

I whipped 2 wedges laughing cow, 2 medium yukon gold potatoes ( or some steamed cauliflour if watching carbs), 6 tbsp fat free sour cream, fresh garlic and parsley for mashed potatoes..... 1/3 the recipe is around 180 or so...and SO good I use it with thinly sliced ham and apple on whole wheat bread and grill it Stuffed…

Good for you girl! I pulled out these pants I wore when I was 22, and 1. I can't believe I fit in them, and 2. I thought I was HUGE at a size 9 back then, and now I wish I was that size again! I really think THIS IS IT...my life is changed.:smile: Having you ladies as support makes it more sweet!

You know, I really liked them!!!!! I was NOT good at the bowler's lunge:frown: .....I finally got it the last two reps of the 2nd set LOL... And the dead lifts are making my lower back hurt (I have alot of back pain after I had my son) but I know I will be stronger for it... I have to say, no joke that I am not as sore as…

Wow that's great that you are doing it with your wife! My hubby is on board with me on CE, amd I can't wait to do P90x

I think she'd look good in a potato sack! I think it's cool that her sister (in law?) is in the DVD's.....!

So cute!

When I was in high school (1995, sophomore), a guy told me he was going to name his new kitten after me. I said, "you want a kitten named Melissa?" He said, "No, I am going to name her Beautiful" :yawn: How was I to know that 5 years later, we started dating, and in 2003 we were married!!!! :heart: BTW, I always knew him…
